They're divine punishment to us all for allowing homosexuals and assorted heathens to run amok!
It's true. It's all there black and white clear as crystal.
I'm in the US and we're still waiting for summer to arrive. It's been a dud so far this year.
Really? I'm in the US and it's been insanely hot here for months. I'm actually looking forward to winter the first time ever-- in fact, last winter was pretty mild.
Really? I'm in the US and I saw 1 blizzard and several nasty snowstorms last winter.
I make $25k per year, and I have 34 years experience in the field including five of it teaching at GA Tech and also cowrite two textbooks used by several top level CS programs.
Holy crap, You either live in a really cheap area, you still really really suck at programming after 34 years, or you're not looking very hard to get a job for more money. I make 3 times that much, with no degree and about 10 years experience.
If you can create light, it should be easy to create antilight, i.e., darkness.
If you can create sound, it should be easy to create antisound, i.e., silence.
If you can create heat, it should be easy to creat antiheat, i.e., cold.
All these are easily achieved lo-tech style:
Turn the light off.
Hit the mute button.
Crank up the A/C.
Easy!
Now where's my grant money to put these theories into practice:)
3) FUTURE: Scientists predict instability of weather, saying temperatures will cycle rapidly from warming to cooling periods over periods of 2-3 to 200-300 yrs.
Well, I know that for at least the past 35 years (and perhaps even longer) these temperature cycles you describe occur - and very rapidly.
I've noticed this pattern where a period of global warming occurs over the course of several months, culminating in a period of almost overwhelming heat. This is followed by a rapid and drastic reduction in global temperature to the point where actual ICE falls from the sky!
I assume that this "mini-ice-age" occurs as a direct result of the previous global warming.
After the earth has managed to balance out and recouperate from mankind's abuse, it begins to thaw and warm up - but almost immediately the rapid global warming begins, and the cycle starts all over!
If everyone are going to do what they love, who's going to drive the bus, be the clerk at the mall, wash the floors, etc, etc.
I'm sure that there are lots of bus drivers out there who love what they do. Driving around town all day - meeting people all day long, listening to interesting or amusing chatter all day. You're off your feet, but there's still a challenge to navigating roads all day.
There's probably also janitors and clerks who love what they do, but probably not as many.
You will always need people to clean sh#tty toilets, and wash dishes, and dig holes, but those are entry level jobs, and for every generation that moves onto bigger and better jobs, there's always a fresh batch of entry level people needing those abandoned entry level jobs.
Maybe not everyone will be able to get the job of their dreams, but everyone should try.
And almost everyone who has the job of their dreams had to eat crap to get there. I'm doing what I love to do - but I had to do some pretty nasty things before I got here.
It's call nostalgia. A phenomenon not that uncommon in any medium.
Nobody's holding a gun to your head to force you to play it, so why not live and let live, and let those of us who enjoyed that game way back when, enjoy it on a whole new level.
I for one think this is a great idea, and I'd like to see new clever upgrades of old games, such as Yars Revenge, Pengo, Ikari Warriors, Combat and Golf.
Have you played Atari today?!

You should play Dead Space then. There were several times, as I was playing that game, when I peed a little.
"A modern twist on a timeless classic."
Amen to that! Not to mention how drastically the movie will improve thanks to all the technological advances in cinematography since 1984.
Just think about how realistic it's going to look this time around!

And this happens EVERY SINGLE YEAR!

when these mice try to take over, the only way to kill them will be to shoot them in the head.
