Also, it's not cool anymore for Americans to donate money to terrorists/freedom fighters so the IRA doesn't have as much cash. Much of the IRA funding was donations (eg in Irish pubs) from the USA.
US games are ~$50 so back in 2000, when AU$1 = 0.50 $US it made sense for our games to be $100. Since then the AU has gone up vs the $US, but we're still paying $100 AU, which is significantly higher than the rest of the world. ($80 US/game)
What amazes me about that is that actors are imminently REPLACEABLE. There is a new crop every few years such that no actor is indespensible. Pay them a normal fee and cut huge costs and development time from films.
How are salaries set? Supply and demand.
If one actor's work was substitutable for anothers, the excess supply would cause the price to go down. Therefore if your statement was correct and top actors were replaceable, their salaries would be low. Are their salaries low?
>> Those with the most resources and better technology win
No, they just think they can win. Then they get suprised when the enemy refuses to be slaughtered in a conventional all out fight and instead beats them slowly through insurgency.
For examples see Vietnam vs US, Afghanistan vs Soviets and come back in 10 years to see how Iraq is doing.
That brings me to Dennis Ritchie. Our collaboration has been a thing of beauty. In the ten years that we have worked together, I can recall only one case of miscoordination of work. On that occasion, I discovered that we both had written the same 20-line assembly language program. I compared the sources and was astounded to find that they matched character-for-character. The result of our work together has been far greater than the work that we each contributed.
You're right about the durable consumer products (that will of course cost more) but I don't know if we'll miss the abundance of plastics all that much. When you look at the examples of oil-products, they're used mostly because they are cheaper not better. Eg bitumen vs concrete roads, plastic cutlery vs chopsticks or well built knives & forks.

Maybe I've been playing Civ 4 too much, but after reading this title I immediately thought of Bronze working.

Yep, some little girl repeating that as she walked to the shop.
If the differences are sufficient to require separate platform testing then this is going to be a nightmare for 3rd party Windows software companies.

It doesn't matter what the "true" republicans do, only what the ones in the party that currently govern the USA do.

The forces of evil are always well funded. But maybe not everyone wants to work at the Hellmouth.

>> That's one reason why a Java or C# app can actually out-perform a similar C/C++ app
Maybe in theory, but in practice 99.9% of the world uses C++ browsers because the Java ones suck.
I don't think Abu Grahib was just immature ass-grabery.
Someone told some inbred deliverance-manchild-like retard fucks like Lyddie England detailed instructions on how to humiliate moslems.
Dogs are unclean, Men are above women => a woman holds them down on a leash like a dog.
That's far too creative for those retards. The fact they got CAUGHT was because they are retards who took photos.

>> Equity = $1,600 plus appreciation for the first year.
Appreciation can be negative.
It's not hard to lose that 1600, if inflation is 3% and prices rose only 2% that year, your $1600 is gone.
