What if all you cared about was the paint (equiv. to the life on the surface of the earth)? One big cannon ball makes a big hole, but most of the surface, while disturbed, is still there. The sand blast would scrape off everything, even though the interior would be relatively unscathed. But there's no life in the interior of the earth; it can take a punch.
If the earth were to be hit by the equiviliant of the cannonball, not only would the explosion from the impact probably kill everything on the same continent, but the resulting dust cloud would cause a nuclear winter for several thousand years.
Exactly, once you buy the game buy the game, EA gets the money, and the McDonalds "ad" gets air time, making it a good investment, even if people make their sims puke after eating there. Remember, no publicity is bad publicity.
However, if the ad gets no airtime, due to the fact that nobody buys the game, then EA gets no money, and McDonalds made a bad investment, insuring that they won't do it again, since, obviously, it doesn't work.
Exactly, this isn't the Yo Noids game, it's the SIMS, and all they did was add a McDonalds where you can buy food. It's not like all the characters were changed to either Grimmace, Ronald, or a fry guy. It's still the same game, the mcdonalds doesn't detract from the ability to play a normal person. In fact, normal people eat at McDonalds, so I don't see what the problem is.
Here's a better example, for this you need three cars, and three cannons.
Fire a ball out of the first cannon, it pretty much destroys the car, that is the asteroid hitting the earth.
Now, take the second cannon and load it with nice finly ground sand. Fire the sand at the car. You wind up needing a new paint job, and probably a nice dent. That is what most people think you get when you blow up an asteroid. Millions and millions of itty bitty rocks.
Now, take the third cannon ball, and light a big ol' M80 underneath it. What you are left with are lots of big craggy peices of crap, some teeny weeny peices of dust, and a few in between peices. Load up the cannon, shoot the car, and instead of punching a hole striaght throught the center, it rips the car in half in much the same way some buck shot would cut a man in half.
Now, if we can find a way to grind to asteroid into a fine powder, then we are all safe, otherwise, we are screwed.

Not my little Billy, he wouldn't do such a thing. My little Billy is a good boy. He doesn't have sex or do drugs. Surely you are thinking of some other little Billy.
I kinda like how most people that would complain about the violence and sex in Anime also have HBO, and watch such shows as The Sopranos, OZ, and Sex in the City, but do they have any kind of parental control on that channel?
But you are right, blocking won't solve anything, they'll either just watch another channel to get their fix, or they'll go down the street to little Billy's, cause his parents don't care what he watches.
They would print one page per minute, unless there was a lot of talking, then they would have to hold it up for several minutes. Of course, I don't really know why they would have to wait until midnight to do so.
Slashdot Mirror
they leave you off of their lists for comming to slashdot.
I guess I could find a Chili cookoff somewhere...
Now, that picture is quite small so I can't tell if it is her or not, but there is a chance...
New trees will grow to take their place.

Perhaps we should be more like the Boy Scouts or something...
I have a friend who can't watch the Wizard of Oz for the same reason...
I think I found your dad
I'm guessing that the typo's on slashdot lead to some interesting stuff comming out of your speakers if you use any of those text to speach programs.
How will we get rid of unwanted politicians and pop stars???

Either way, life is dead.

I don't see any problem here. So someone who is developing new food types is appointed to a group based on just that.
Must be something to see. Especially if he uses a seeing eye dog...
Yup, those silly people that work for the school must have had the idea that you would use the school's network for educational...
I've seen places where the T1 connection has been made slower than a 28k Modem due to file sharing. The company makes a valid point.

I don't know, it just depends on who your boss is, and whether or not he/she has any positions that needed filled...
All we need now is a short woman to say, "This network is clean."

Isn't that an oxymoron?
