Except of course that now your magnesieum alloy components would never survive the violence of a launch. The sonic loads sustained by payloads alone means these things need to be tough. When it comes to space throw out your knowledge gained from the movies. This tank is designed to withstand temperature extremes, both hot and cold. Hydrazine tanks have survived re-entry before, and not just the shuttle ones. There's one sitting outside my office building.
Considering there's a tank of Hydrazine that survived re-entry siitting outside my office, it's quite possible for a tank to surtvive re-entry. This is still an insulated titanium fuel tank. Why take the chance? This isn't some huge conspiracy, what exactly is being covered up? Everyone knows it was a spy satellite, everyone knows it was dead, and everyone knows that it was coming down in an uncontrolled orbit. Just because it was a government operation doesn't mean that the government wasn't actually trying to help people.
I was under the impression Wii attach rates were 4.8 or low 3 depending on if you count Wii sports and wii play in NA, hardly dismal Global attach rates are 4.94 according to the numbers I found. That being said most of those games are ninetendo games, but let's face it if nintendo stopped making hardware tomorrow, and released only software Do you think they wouldn't dominate the sales of the other two consoles? Nintendo owns the two largest franchises in video game history, and a couple of others that are pretty dammned iconic. Once third party publishers catch up to the success of the wii and release a list title then we'll guage how well its treating third parties.
That being said at the moment X-box is the place tobe if you're not Nintendo.
Check you math. July NPD shows the 360 beating the PS3. Despite the somewhat rambling nature of your post here's the facts, Publishers have a limited number of resources they can put twoard developing games. They are going to push those resources twoards the system with the highest installed base. Argue all you want how the Wii is competing with the PS2, but business is business. Sony is not burning up the field with sales, and publishers are going move on. Will Sony go bankrupt? No. But don't expect them to be thrilled about the position they're in, nor thier stock holders. People were fired, and more will be if things don't turn around.
Check your math again. NPD numbers show that the Xbox still outsold the PS3. The PS3 may be a good console(I haven't played it) but from a business standpoint they aren't lighting the world on fire, and 3rd party publishers are going to focus on the systems with the higher installed base. It's not about markets, Wii is competeing for publisher resources along with the PS3 no matter how you spin it. Publishers have a finite number of programers and will point that talent to wherever the market drives them.
It is far easier for Youtube to control what's on their site but how can they tell if something is copyrighted? You tube is now supposed to be intimately knowledgeable about the copyrighted material of every corporation on earth? With the recent fad of fan made commercials how can yYutube distinguish between a legitimate fan made commercial and a parody? A copyright holder can identify infringement report it and have it removed. To expect youtube to have some magical AI script that detects copyrighted files is lunacy.
What a worthless post, let me tell you A. we don't have the money, and B. even if we did we're not going to waste it on something as pointless as nuclear weapons in space. Your response to a well reasoned logical argument amounts to "I don't belive you". Either explain why or don't even bother posting. If I wanted tin foil hat conspiracy theories I'll go watch how NASA faked the moon landing.
I don't know I sort of agree with this. My high school simply published my GPA we had no class rank, though there was a valedictorian. I had a graduating class of 70 people, many quite smart. Being in the top 10% was quite difficult. Same thing with my university, we didn't even have a valedictorian and have never given out an honorary degree. This isn't to say there was no honor society, or honor roll. Simply that it wasn't percentage based. With a small enough sample size class rank can be detrimental.
True but to play said core system you need to spend at least $40 for a memory card and $60 for a game. granted you get to pick the game, but it's a minimum of $400 to be able to play said X-box, and that i think is the key difference.
The original student research project which was developed in to SPHERES was given the acronym MILLER TIME by the students. I wish I still had what that actually stood for.
Years of living close to New York have trained me to simply state the closest major city to where I live. Most folks have heard of Boston, less so of Cambridge.
I make quite a decent salary in the military. And my job is hardly menial, and I would say I'm fairly intelligent since I managed to graduate from a well known Boston college that recently stole a cannon. Plus I have yet to be shot at and I've been in for close to two years. The military like anything else, is what you make of it and is a job like any other.
You can't change an orbit with a reaction wheel. Reaction wheels are for pointing and positioning. the delta V required for even a degree of plane change is enormous.
Sure I'd admit it as well, but it's not the "hardcore" gamers saying this it's the kids who assume blood and breasts mean mature, or the folks who only play Madden 200X. Folks who genuinely love games, at least I'd like to think, are above things like which games are kiddie. Sure I want more rpg's on my gamecube, I'd love to be able to play God of War or Jade Empire, but I've definately gotten plenty of milage out of my gamecube, and saying it's a place holder system or simply a spawning ground for franchise knockoffs is stupid.
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Games for adults means more than just OMG BOOBz and BLOOD. Nintendo is popular because they make good games. I don't give a damn if Zelda was cel shaded or not it's a good game, so were the metroid games, and f-zero and a whole boat load of other games for the console. I can't believe 4 years Later and people are still saying stupid shit like lame cube. Grow up, good games are available on all the consoles
It's A TOUCH SCREEN people. TOUCH SCREEN, you can not duplicate it's functionality with simply a wider screen, get it through your heads that nintendo has done something different here.
Umm no, that's pain wrong, we've been off the gold standard for A long time now. The value of the dollar is based on the value of the american economy.
Wrong. I recently got a $200 Ticket going 10 Mph over the limit on a straight road with no one near me. The day was sunny not a cloud in the sky and it was a pure straight away. Now not only did i lose $200 but my insurance is now $300 a year higher, for the next 5 years. It's all about how much of a jerk the cop is.
I want to know is does anyone know how I can get one of the Lik-Sang gameboy covers that's already Pre-cut for the afterburner. I mean Lik -sang had plenty of legitimate things for sale(assuming a mod-chip is illegal, which is up for debate). I can see getting them to stop selling Mod Chips, But shutting down the company,? That's not right.
Yes but eventually the laser will dissapate in the atmosphere. The odds of acidentally hitting something else at 30,000ft is not so good. I think it'll be ok.

I hear this new music player called the iPod is pretty popular. I don't know much about it though.

Unforutunately Redondo Beach is small strip of sunny beach on the west coast. We don't get to many day's below 50 let alone freezing down here.

Actually the O2 and H2 are cooling the rocket nozzle. You don't need to heat up the fuels, you need to keep the bell from melting.
