I'd be surprised if the numbers every actually penciled out, but I wonder if at some point launching nuclear waste off the planet (to drift endlessly, or perhaps on a collision course with some planet/star) becomes economical.
Then again, the risk of a rocket exploding on take-off might far outweigh any benefits(space elevators would, of course, ease this), not to mention the idea of just tossing our waste off the planet seems a little irresponsible.
- Half-Life (PC) - Tecmo Super Bowl (NES) - Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast (PC) - Civilization (PC) - Zelda: A Link to the Past (Gameboy)
While EverQuest probably deserves a spot on my list this discussion seemed to exclude MMORPGs. However, there was just something about the first few month of playing EQ. I've yet to experience anything like that before or since (and I've tried plenty other MMORPGs)
If we can assume that, in general, each exploit found is slightly more complex than the last one found then the increasing amount of time to fix these exploits makes sense. I know this isn't always the case, but I suspect there is some truth to it.
It's the whole low hanging fruit metaphor. As each venerability because more difficult to identify and exploit, the fix for it also because more difficult to identify and patch.
However, given the option of having it in the US where companies are required to adhere to scrict regulations on how the waste is handled or letting an overseas company mindlessly pollute as they see fit, I think I'd choose the former.
"Piracy for too long has been high-reward and low-risk"
and then:
"Footage of "Star Wars: Episode II," "Tomb Raider" and "The Hulk," has reportedly surfaced on peer-to-peer networks before their commercial distribution"
Those three movies are "high-reward"? Riiiight.

Isn't the problem that relativity produces nonsensical/impossible results when applied at quantum scales?

Controlling Robots with the Mind from Sept. 2002
"Why make such a big bang jump to 4 and 10 when Intel can suck much more money producing a 4 Ghz then a 5 Ghz and the 6 and so on."
Imagine how many chips AMD would sell if Intel made such a huge leap in speed. Sounds like good business to me...
