Just make the shell "replacable" and you got your solution...
Yes there are mechanical parts.. But just like technically you can open up a floppy disk casing, take the plastic disk out and put it in another "shell".
Of course they need to make that process practical (selling cheap empty shells, originals having maybe one or two tabs to snap off to open the shell the original disk is in)
There was originally a solution like that for CDs but I think the only ones who bough into it were the radio stations.
As a counterpoint, Gary Sinise was nominated for best supporting actor in Forrest Gump and was CGI'ed.. True, we could still recognize him and see his face. The CGI effect did affect the overall credibility of his "performance", but I guess that's where the academy drew the line.
Now we are seeing the results of a new generation of low-cost, high-power computers, which make realistic effect cheaper and cheaper Superhero movies are a necessary result of Moore's Law.
Don't forget dinosaurs!
First thing I though when I saw Jurassic Park is.. Now we'll get to see GREAT dragons on screen.. And then "Dragonheart" was released..
What will the mandatory "1-" allow? More area codes.
It will unlock area codes starting with "1xx" so that
1-1xx-555-5555 will be a valid number and will have no chance of duplicates in new york. Just the same for "0xx"
1-0xx-555-5555
unlocking 2 999 999 999 == 3^9 new numbers in north america, eventually, or at least in new york.
Simple effective solution, even if it's only temporary. Blame Moore's. Let's just hope he'll be wrong at some point.
Simple answer: They plan to use the 0xx and 1xx area codes in New York...
The black CD's on the Playstation are a way of telling if the game is pirated or not. If you got a silver PS game, then you had a burned game.
close but no cookie.
Black CDRs are available. The purpose of that color was to mask the amount of data that was on the CD, as previous reply pointed.
For sony, it was not a downside. It was actually a plus. I've seen some games weight 7 megs. No soundtrack. No video. Probably just a cheap port.
Just like you could not see how much memory was stored on a nes cartridge. Sega actually advertized how much memory the game took. (in megaBITS, not MB, which was an intentionnaly confusing marketting trick)
or you will eventually be able to purchase a maxed out Jedi for 29.95$.
There is no "own unique" character for MMORPGs. Unless the servers each have a few megs of data on each characters, I don't think a population of +50k players will each be unique.
They may not be wearing the exact same color of hat, but the stats will be the same.
Maximization of a character is always what it gets to, in the end. That's according to my personnal experience, of course.

Energy consumption, space, noise and heat.
Funny. and ontopic!!
I'd suggest turning it into an animation sometime...
Oh my god..
This is just like saying "Your next assignment will be to smoke some weed and give me a report."

Well, "crises" is the french canadian translation of "crisis".. or "christ!". so there you go.
Just remember you need to have QT PRO and not the free version to both Save as.. and Present:Full screen.

And I guess the matrix sure helped it all..
I'll blame it on the matrix..
Just like I'll blame LOTR in a few years for initiating many very bad Action Fantasy movies..
(I'm not saying they're ALL bad, and I'm not blasting LoTR or the Matrix either..)
Probably redundant, but I'm too lazy to search.

00?... licence to kill.
If I remember correctly, not even that licence can help you kill a 4-letter acronym.
...especially if you want the Guardian to look like it REALLY should.

For that affirmation to be true, technology and knowledge has to go "forward".
Unfortunately, that is not always true. See: Dark Ages, Library of alexandria.
Exponential progress has to stop somewhere.

At least we now have a half decent Daggorath clone.

Forget the keyboard. Get the PS/2 (the port, not the game console) adaptor.
It will allow you to connect a regular pc mouse or keyboard to the DC.
Where?
Lik-Sang, of course..
oh.. wait.. Microsoft... Right..
Seriously.. what's the speed on those gamepad sockets? Anyone tried to map them as an USB port?
Here's the flaw in your example: HOT SEAT.
Unless your chairs all had wheels, then you did actually get up and move.

Sounds like a troll, smells like a troll, but you're definitely not one.
Just test the latest encoder version. Using the same source and get files roughly the same size. No, don't set them at the same bitrate. and hear.
