Not just games though, the same goes for any software. I can see this leading to Very Bad Things for Apple if their new dual-boot-capable machines convince enough developers that they can now just develop once, for Windows, and cover almost the entire desktop market.
As the CEO of Opera, do you have any idea how many inncent men you've put through a night of HELL as we patiently sit through the damn thing in order to get into some chick's pants?
OH, sorry. Wrong Opera.
(Please don't really send this to him...)
Prudence would dictate that you take the time to expierience the top quality titles of the current generation, before moving onto the next.
You're damn skippy there.
Did I mention my wife's name is Prudence?
Can I take a Jedi, lop Jar-Jar's filthy head clean off his shoulders, then have a Wookie come over and "mark his territory" on the still-warm corpse? Cause that would be, y'know, cool and stuff.
For instance: the creation of life in the first place.
Evolution has absolutely zero to say about the origins of life. Zero. Never has, never will. Evolution is concerned only with how living creatures move from Form A to Form B.
It is essential to understand the theory under discussion before parroting back misinformation. What you are attacking is not a part of the Theory of Evolution.
The only people who have time to respond to things like this in software development are those who have no meaningful duties. They justify their positions by doing inane crap like this.
This will result in some very talented developers simply stopping their contributions to open source. Not everyone makes their living with open source. A lot of the best talent does commercial work for their day job.
OK, OK, they'll take the A.O.! Now you have to be one whole year older to buy it. 18 instead of 17. Whew.
If people paid attention to the damn ratings in the first place they wouldn't be demanding people be ONE FUCKING YEAR OLDER to play the damn game.
Please understand that I do understand that worldview. I personally do not agree with it, but I do not (and cannot) refute it. No human can.
That said, I disagree that there is scientific evidence of creation. Whether one holds scientific evidence as true or not is up to the individual I suppose, although I find it illogical (hate to use that word) to discount it.
Evolution does not, and never did, attempt to explain the origin of life. It explains how it progressed once it appeared. That's it.
If you're going to argue against the theory you should probably try to understand what the theory is all about first.
I was once a total Sony fanboy. I had roughly $12,000 invested between Sony home theater equipment and a VAIO computer. The computer was the beginning of the end. It never worked right, and actually shipped with hardware that DRIVERS HADN'T BEEN RELEASED FOR YET! There was some paperwork in the box explaining this, and that for the video and sound cards I'd have to make due with the generic drivers until the real ones were released, which would up being about 6 months later.
The final straw was when I bought a shiny new PS2 a month or two after the initial release. The thing crashed constantly. I called the store I had bought it from (Circuit City) and they said it had to go back to Sony because Sony wanted to handle all defects. I picked up the phone, called Sony, and was told there was nothing wrong with my PS2. How they were able to diagnose this without ever seeing the unit, I'll never know. They refused to take it back without my paying for whatever repair it needed, and refused to refund my money. This was probably about a month after buying the thing. Perhaps I shouldn't have waited that long, but I have kids and usually only get to play video games on the weekend (if I'm lucky).
Now a couple of years later, I have about $15,000 worth of Toshiba and Yamaha home theater equipment, and a Dell PC (I know, but it actually works fine for what I need). All Sony items have been purged from my household and none will ever return.
All Marketing-related crap should be given sphincter-related names!
Floaters, Sinkers, Double-Flushers, SBD's. Man, I wish they'd thought of this years ago.
I actually met James Doohan on my honeymoon in Phoenix in October of 1997. He was doing a promo at the Planet Hollywood to promote a movie he was in called BugBusters. We got our picture taken with him! In preparation for the picture my new bride sat on one side and I sat on the other. He looked at me and said "Can't she sit on my lap?"
No, I didn't get pissed. I thought it was hilarious. So did she.
the strip is very congested and impossible to drive anywhere
I keep hearing this comment over and over, and I don't get it. I've been to Vegas three times, and every time I rented a car and drove all over the place, including up and down the strip. I never had what I would call bad traffic, mid-day or dead of night. Maybe it's coming from Boston, but I was surprised how little traffic there really was. The hard part was avoiding watching all the moving billboards above all the casinos and crashing into something.
The taxi thing though, yeah. There's always a (long) line to get a cab.

nobody holds a patent on a "breaking system" MS doesn't have any patents on Media Player?

"Unanticipated" would seem to imply to me that it was an accident. Doesn't just "Sudden change in momentum" conver the term "crash"?
The Nissan Murano (not a hybrid) actually has a CVT too.

Why is it wrong to teach that some believe in opposing theories?
Creationism and.or intelligent design are not scientific theories.
Neither does creationism have all the facts, but the point is, it does have at least as much evidence in it's favor as evolution does.
No, it does not. There is no scientific evidence for (or against, for that matter) creationism.
Sorry about the (lack of) formatting... It appears I had a brain fart.

The first rule of tinfoil hat is, you don't talk about tinfoil hat. Expect the black heicopters any second.
Very sneaky... Trying to get us all to hold out so YOU can get in to the first showing!
Seconded!
