You are totally missing the point, he shouldn't have to change the way he thinks, talks, acts or jokes simply because the government changes its mind. The govenment is not supposed to tell you what you can and can't say, the first amendment is supposed to give freedom of speech. There has been no trial to decide what is decent or not, it is just a govenment entity deciding on a whim. If what he says is so bad, why did they have to go back three years to find something to fine him for?
Also: "Telewest says its "scent dome" could cost around 250 and would only work with a high-speed, broadband connection." -- WTF? The device produces only 60 smells - so is 6 bits now too big to send over a slow modem?
I think it probably only works on a TELEWEST broadband connection....in other words, you have to use their service to get the smells. So it really has nothing to do with bandwidth i bet.

The reason you only see two servers is that the copying thing you are doing does not work! 3.0 is STEAM ONLY as far as I know. Just download it and go to town, Steam really isn't that bad.
"While your point is valid about certain maps being geared toward certain numbers of players, you have to realize in the Star Wars galaxy, a lot of the battles are fairly large. The Battle of Hoth wasn't held between 32 soldiers, nor was Endor."
What, and World War II was only between 64 soldiers? ahhh...woeful ignorance...
and what is your point anyway, the battle of Hoth and Endor were between 64-128 soldiers, not a measly 32?
that movie was funny, why didn't they just take an x-ray to see if they had bones or computers inside!?!
instead he asks a million questions and makes an educated guess...yes this is a robot.
and what is wrong with trying to turn a profit instead of jumping to install every new technology?
why don't you invest billions of dollars in a new network and show them who the boss is!

I think the idea is that you pcr all the fragments at once....so you aren't starting with one and going to the end, you are starting at thousands of places and filling in inbetween. obviously it is very complex to avoid errors and accidental matching this way, but it could be done.
What about the T1000? 'He' was metal right? a polymemetic alloy or whatever? They never explained how he was sent back. The T-X must be metal too or something, I guess I'll find out tonight!!! And why didn't the resistance just kill someone and stuff a rifle inside him so Reese would have some good weaponry?
It is a cure for a very bad disability (unlike breast implants, which are just for fun).
This statement is not entirely correct, breast implants do have valid medical use and should be covered by medical insurance in many situations. Breast reconstructive surgery after radical mastectomy is a vital technology used to help decrease the stress of surgery in breast cancer patients.
Obviously I do agree that a device like this should be covered too, just like a wheelchair is covered for paraplegics.
He only measured memory bandwidth...which does not exactly translate to real-world performance. He says there is no performance benefit from CAS2 as opposed to CAS2.5 or CAS3, but if you read Tom's Hardware you'd know that CAS does have a drastic impact on overall performance. The benefit is just not in badwidth, it is in the time the processor has to wait from when it calls on the memory, to when it recieves the answer. The longer it is waiting for an answer, the longer it is sitting around doing nothing. The longer it is waiting for a response from memory, the slower it will be able to render the scene, compress the file, or compile the kernel.
I hope that helps some people out there who were about to buy slow memory to save $10.
The goverment still denies funding the experiments that created thier leader, Moverine. After repeated assassination attempts, experts have concluded that his Admantium skeleton may be indestructable.
