I was just searching around and found a place to look at the historical prices of Diamonds and other gemstones located here: http://www.preciousgemstones.com/20YRPRICECHARTS.H TML
Looks to me if you would have bought it '78 and sold in '80 you would be rich!

Doesn't rust?? 1/2 weight of steel? Sounds like the perfect material to make a car out of! I want one!
If people want to record the music onto their computer, they will find a way, for instance you could play these CDs in a regular CD player, and just audio-out to a sound card. I think this will only make music listeners mad.
I used to be a big fan of RTS (Real Time Strategy) games and turn based games, but in the recent years I have quit playing RTS's (I don't think I have played any since Starcraft came out). I have found that many Turn based games require much more planning and tactics instead of just building up huge number of grunt troops to crush your enemy.
As for what I would do in a strategy game to make it more realistic (maybe not more fun) here is a list:
1. I would make terrain and base-building more of a feature this would limit construction areas by not being able to build on too steep of hills or in forests that haven't been cut down.
2. I would make the maps larger thus helping to prevent rushing tactics, and make more of an ability to place hidden troops
3. I would add in a supply line type interface, where troops need supplies available if they are out of a certain area for too long, this will ephasize smaller groups and building of supply sturctures along with limiting early strong attacks.
I think these improvements would make RTS a bit more realistic (but probally not better sellers) as the mass amount of people just want a quick, easy to learn game.
I thought that it was an interesting look at the whole star trek universe, although it seemed to have rehashed the same, we need a hot chick to attract viewers thing as the past series. I think that they also made some of the vulcans seem less cold then in the other series, good or bad? We will see if I watch the next episode....
I am pretty young and in general all my managers treat me the same wether or not they know my age (or after I tell them how old I am). I have had both younger 25-35 and older 40+ and I think it has more to do with the indivdual person you are dealing with and less about what age they are (although it seems younger people are more accepting).

I don't know about all you, but since I was little I was told "Wait until the year 2000, there will be flying cars!"
Where are they?

This is definately one of the greatest (and most PAINFUL) MST3K episodes ever! I might have to get a DVD player just to buy this!
