Actually, I'd argue 2004 was the finest year, because that was when City of Heroes came out, and you could set up your girl, slide the ass slider all the way to JLo, the waist slider all the way to pencil, and the boob slider all the way to large grapefruit, and throw sheer string panties and a bare midriff on her, and presto!

Conservatism = value status quo, only gradual changes, no huge, sudden breaks with the past
Conservatives oppose eugenics. Working as described...
Perhaps people are confusing conservatism's leaders' frequent use of patriotism and nationalism, i.e. a source of pride in longstanding identities, often overlapping some kind of hatred, with the hatred subtext of eugenics, vis-a-vis "we're better than them".
Note the common components are politicians, and them redirecting the hatred of people. Meethinks there's a deep truism there somewhere...
> Though technically that's not gravity, though it's a reasonable approximation.
Yes and no. IANAP, but I believe Einstein's claim was that gravity wasn't just similar to inertia, i.e. resistance to acceleration, but that they were exactly the same phenomenon. You are travelling through the 4-dimensional spacetime continuum at the speed of light (and hence, if you move faster thru space relative to something else, movement along another dimension must give, hence speed through time slows down.)
In any case, gravity is a warpage in this 4-d spacetime continuum; you are accelerating while standing still in spacial dimensions.

You do not own the right to redistribute it. Therefore it is theft.
I am astounded by people who bring up the "it's not technically theft" argument, when by every conceivable moral and ethical standard, which is what matters, it is.
"We're gonna take and redistribute your stuff without your permission and without paying you" is no more a paradigm shift than "we're gonna round up your type and put them in extermination camps." Lovely world.
However, no matter how hard they go "waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh", consumers do not dictate that consumers may steal.
You may end up being correct, of course. Rampant, easy theft may be unbeatable in the long run (and a sad thing that would be.) But that point is not yet, by any means.

Why would you want to do that? QuickTime plays.movs, WMP plays.mpgs. You can tell the operating system to open.mpgs with QuickTime, if you desire, though how successful it'll be, I don't know. Perhaps you want the MS.mpg codecs in there, if QuickTime is bright enough to use them.

The bundling issue has nothing to do with RAM usage and everything to do with MS eviscerating the competition through bundled applications. Go sit in the corner.
1. True. Were China to try to force de-bundling, they'd meet resistence from their own CD copy scam industry who wants a tightly bundled product to copy.

If you played online, you had the option of playing on permadeath servers.
They also had "ladder" servers, where you tried to be the first to the top, with PvP available.
The ultimate King of the Hill, though, was the ladder PvP with permadeath. Now those were some damned hardcore players.

That would be real, not artificial, gravity.
