As long as they get the unlimited nitro cheat in the game I will give it my blessing too. Oh and the realistic physics when you crash at 100mph, you fly through the air or one the ground for the next minute without stopping.
I don't need advertisements. When I want something, I research it, then I buy it. When I want to know something, I google it. When I want to buy random stuff, I go to a bargain site where people can humanely tell me what I should buy. If advertisers were responsible and didn't try to scheme for my attention, I might give it to them. I don't find it helpful if I go to work, look something up and them come home and find a recommendation for the same product. But for some reason, somebody somewhere thinks that it helps their pocket book, so I block them.
If there was life on another world I would suspect that it would operate on different mechanisims, you wouldn't have the same DNA structure, it would have different protein's, ect. I would be more concerned that our life would wipe out the alien life or vice versa.
You can make nuclear safe, but it depends on your tolerance level. I personally don't understand why their aren't places in the world that you can't put a plant, don't put them next to population centers, don't put them next to high risk areas. Fukushima and Chernobyl are the outliers on the graph, they both had bad conditions that led to their demise. Plus, all of the plants that have failed were gen 1 plants, there are designs now that shut down by physical design. It is possible to build a safe nuclear plant, 99% or more of them have run just fine, every day and provide a good base power to supply our needs. A big problem in our society is we want to have our cake and eat it too. We want cheap power, but somehow we have convinced ourselves that we can turn the lights on, but shouldn't have to deal with the consequences. You can't build wind, it kills the birds and it looks bad in a backyard. You definitely cannot build hydro, it is too damaging. You cant have coal, it makes the world too warm. And now you can't have nuclear, not anywhere, because of two accidents. (Thank goodness for natural gas and the timing of it). Someday, we will figure out how to develop a cheaper energy source (maybe fusion, maybe something else, but that day is not today, and we need something to tide us over until then)
The point is they have "engineered" a material to suppositively gives it better properties. This suggests that they are closer to solving the superconducting riddle, not that they have solved it. Maybe when they apply this method to other materials they can get better properties. This doesn't say anything for manufacturability either, but if they do find a material that works at room temperature, somebody will figure out a way to manufacture it.
Why put up with cable companies and their fees, just stream or buy it later. This strategy only works if you have patience and don't have to be 'in the loop' and talk about it at work or elsewhere. This is a strategy I prefer. There are much better things to do than watch TV.
Is it really a 'third' belt if it goes away and the other two don't. I guess third belt sounds way more exciting in the news than another radiation belt mode.
Why can't you build a system to monitor and defend against attacks? Once a virus gains control of your system it is quite easy to find and remove based on file signatures (time installed,ect). If you know what you have and something changes you should be able to identify it. It would be easy to identify attacks on a network when things go outside the norm. "Well, lets see somebody opened up a bunch of ports and is transferring files to some random IP in X country that isn't on my list of recently accessed http sites, I think I'll shut those down. Oh, a user is downloading 20% more classified files than normal users, maybe we should pay him a visit and shut down his access until we figure out what is going on. Implementing such a system would be difficult, but patterns should be statistical and you should be able to see most of what goes on. Yes people could slip through the cracks, but if you develop a good model, you should be able to spot the differences between malicious and normal behavior.
Yes, it is why I would drive to the university for thesis writing. If your at home all you want to do is make a sandwich and turn on the tele. If your really desperate not to get work done, then you clean the house.
I'm in a cubicle farm with a small group, and for my profession this is not too common, but it does foster collaboration. I have to be around at work, which is sad but its the only way to work on prototypes.
If you use a class 4 card vs a class 10 card, you will be roughly 2.5x min faster, if you get a 30Mb/s card you will be 7.5x faster. Everything would load faster.
I thought that I was fine with the memory I had until I shot raw on DSLR, If you've never shot raw it will change your life. The files are 30Mb for one and 20Mb for the other DSLR that I have, so lets do a quick calculation to see what the time between shots would be on a class 2/4 card (~6Mb/sec) vs a class 10 (~10Mb/sec). If I wanted to save 1 file it would take me 5 or 3 seconds respectively for the larger files. This is absurd when you are shooting photography. So you ask, I have no fancy camera, why would I want a fast card? Lets suppose you fill that nice 32Gb class 4 card you bought up with files and now you want to get them off. Well it will take you around 2 hours to get those files transferred. You might as well burn a few DVD's while your at it. Now I only buy sandisk extreme, they are 45Mb/sec (with some at 95Mb/sec, which is almost fast enough to be a swapfile disk). I do have a Lexar and it is around 40Mb/sec and it does just fine. Not to mention if you do anything with video, they are starting 1080p@60fps or even 4k video on some cameras like a gopro 3, this generates large files and high throughput's, a class 10 card wont even cut it. So, you can buy a nice card now, or buy a cheap one now and a nice one later (unless you just store a bunch of text files on your flash device and only use it for that). You can pick up a faster card on sale for 25$ for 32GB. Don't even get me started on cell phones, I have an s3 and I've noticed a ~10% speed improvement after installing a faster card.
If you think that there is too much global warming, then please stop buying gasoline, natural gas, and using electricity. We could then stop the evil gasses that contribute to global warming. The best way to stop those evil companies from spending their money is don't give it to them in the first place, so put your money where your mouth is.
Hosts file and no script, only enable the stuff that you need. Plus with all of that worthless javascript wasting cpu cycles and memory gone, you can use your computers resources for something more useful, like a hundred more tabs.
So, if there are 300million people in the us and a mars program would cost 20-100 billion, then that would be ~1000$ per person, sound like such a good idea now? (I guess its not too bad, that's only ~50$ a year.)
And anyone has been able to build a plane from day one, no singular person could ever build a rocket to fly into space, and I think its safe to say no one ever will.
Funny thing is when it costs a few billion dollars, thoughtful ideas will get you nowhere. I wish people would be more serious about proposals. Getting money to make a prototype is not the same as going to the moon and actually printing a building. They don't have "plans to produce a 3d printed building on the moon" they have plans and funding to build a prototype. If you had a dollar for every project like this you would be a millionaire.
You think I'm going to buy your game, I was actually considering it until I read this. DRM is total crap. I have always been a simcity fan, I was excited about the prospect of playing your game, I don't have time to play games anyway, but every once in a while I buy one and play it for a few hours, just to remember what it is like. I don't feel that I need to connect to the internet and let you know every time I play your game, but then again you have plenty of money and 60$ isn't worth it to you to please one customer. When you put DRM on a game, I never know when I am going to be able to play it, and it won't work 5-10 years down the road when you decide to switch of your server.

About half of my familly's ISP's use a 'cloud' based email solution. This has been so for about 10 years.

I will happily scrape the excess gold off of each board for them...

So, we are going to take one instance and extrapolate it to the rest of the USofA, sounds logical to me.

That's what happens when you talk to sales, if you do a little research online you will know more than they do.

I prefer burning my money, or the lottery...
This article is about viruses, last time I checked they make you sick. How does this relate to the building blocks of life?

Err, we have this thing called 'gravity'. I hate to be such a realist, but if you don't switch to some other means than rocketry, you won't get to that price. see: http://www.thespacereview.com/article/233/1 And most of the other technologies are not 'feasible' yet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-rocket_spacelaunch
