Well as stated by others the milky way is 90,000 or.09 million light years across.
SO if its 2000 times as big as our galaxy and we are just NOW being able to see it. Its probably REALLY REALLY far away.. I would guess!:)
Another note our cluster of galaxies called the Virgo cluster which containes most of the visible galaxies such as Andromeda is 100 million light years across.
Umm are you just selling Dragon now? I'm quite sure the demonstration video wasn't using Dragon. So thanks for the info but he Vista obviously still needs training.
Shhhh.. Its not legal though. The first rule of student loan club is don't talk about student loan club.
But seriously student loans have strict requirements that they be spent on nessesities. Of course if those nessesities free up other money thats a different story!:) Some student loans actually can and will investigate how your student loan money was spent.
Well you can find plenty of real estate based money markets. Sure they don't provide the returns of straight real estate, but still preform pretty well.
Of course that depends upon the interest rate./Gumbles because my father with perfect credit and large 2% loans won't give me loans when I'm stuck with some 20% loans and barly surviving:)
Thanks, for the clarification. Of course I found the other backsplashes somewhat interesting. There were really no interesting comments to this story. But maybe thats just me.
Ok I kinda like slashbacks or backspash as this is called. But a backspash on this ONE story without any updates to the trial and whatnot.. Very lame..
Exactly, like most people I can only watch a movie once or a few times at most (with some exceptions) a movie that has some game choice elements could be entertaining (though I've never seen it done well), but it would still suffer the same fate as other movie, you can only watch it so many times. Gameplay is a completly different beast, you don't get bored of good gameplay, this is why simple games like tetris is still popular, but any specific implementation of it, especially the ones with storylines, quickly fade into history.
Well we understand general relativity which we can model on a computer. We also have a pretty good grasp of particle physics which we can also model with a much bigger computer. Now from my understanding these two theories create different results in things like blackhole simulations. It would be interesting to simulate the two and eventually someday we may observe this actually happening and find out which simulation was more correct.
Most homes use between 1 and 3 kW at any one time. Generally a 1 kW solution is considered good enough for most homes. Sure thats still 20K but when your talking about home prices at 300-500K in many places its a fairly small difference.
He meant social liberals not economic liberals you dimwit! Yes its pretty stupid how the social liberals (meaning let people do what they want) are generally economic controlist. But thats another story for another day.
You knew what he was talking about don't pretend to be such a nitwit.
Except Apple sells hardware mostly. They also have hardware locks that stop you from installing OSX on anything but Apple hardware. If MS could get away with doing this they would scrap WGA in a heatbeat.
Thanks, I was directly looking for mention of rental which I saw in the you may not do section. I didn't realize rental is covered in the you may dispose of however you choose general idea. Thanks for the lesson.. Guess thats the weird thing about law you really can't read it unless you know the intent in the first place.
sorry point was that it makes absolutly no mention of video though it does make a exception for coin operated video games... so quoting that law seemed silly. I think DVD are technically software though.... Any lawyers in the house
Nope, there is currently two models for the "cleaned" up movie going on. The first model is a special DVD player where you play the regular DVD along with software that you purchase for each DVD that does the editing on the fly. These have gone to court and were found to be legal. The other was a system where they were editing and selling an actual DVD with the edits predone that would work on any DVD player. This is obviously a nogo, editing someones work and reselling it is a nono.

There have been mentions there will be player voting as well as moderator filtering. Essentially any new creation is initially measured automatically be the computer on pure performance measure. After that it is still rarely seen by the average person. It then gets votes from people and becomes common with the increase in votes. There will be people who work for Spore who will be involved with filtering, but they can't filter everything so mainly it will be up to the users. You may see parental guards.
1) Only moderator approved items 2) Only highly voted on items 3) Everything! 4) Gimmie the sick and twisted stuff!
Well it may be that way. I know in the early stages you see creatures that could easily beat you. But it seems as though they mainly leave you alone though you have to runaway sometimes. I think the point is that in the space game you will not have a more powerful enemy suddenly declare war on you or nuke your planet. Though theoretically that could happen if you decide to attack their planet. Its simply a good idea gameplay wise not to have to deal with computer controlled bullies. The game would quickly get frustrating if they existed.

But serious to answer your question the online portion is not true multiplayer. Your creatures and buildings characteristics INCLUDING your playing style will be uploaded to a server in which other players can download from (purposfully for some things like architecture that you want in your city or automatically like other competing races). The computer will then play these races against you. From what I understand these competing races will be placed based upon your current level meaning you will never face an enemy that completely outmatches you and can wipe you out with a flick.
Umm the multi-player simply doesn't work that way. I've read somewhere that the creatures that get randomly added as neighbors you can visit are placed in there with respect to your power. You won't have to face disgustingly powerful neighbors until you are almost equal in power.
150 miles isn't bad unless your living some some isolated places. There are plenty of roads in texas where there is litterly a gas station every 250-300 miles with nothing in between. You simply couldn't make it.

Yes, but the sound quality is decent until its recorded and played back.

Still seems a little silly to arrest him at the conference of all places.
BTW if you ever have this happen to you again you can drop to dos and type shutdown /a
/? obviously gives you all info needed.
This aborts the shutdown.
You can also use the shutdown command in scripting/scheduling as well. shutdown
Thanks for reminding me of ocw.mit.edu. Saw it a while back when I simply didn't have the time and quickly forgot. Good stuff! :)
