My game of the year is Super Mario Bros 3. It is an awesome game, easily as good or better than anything else I played this year. Or does it have to be something made this year? Hmmm, I guess whatever Wii game it was that I played at the mall.
apparently not as much as these people! dang. Just imagine how long you have to aim a laser at a moving target before hitting a sub-target as small as the pilot's eye... that's a lot of time to be contemplating whether or not you should be doing what you're doing.
Not only that, but when it explodes in your lap, you get riddled with nanowire superpowers! And mostly in the very area that your laptop's radiation has probably been eroding your powers.
I'm gonna say that Johnny Depp brought an unforgettable quality to your pirate movie, and Top Gun had an equally impressive cast -- it almost couldn't be bad, even as "80's" as it looks now. Putting Flashdance in the same group as the PotC series and Top Gun... hmmm. Sometimes I miss good ol' MTV!
For a long time, Newton's laws were considered universal, and then Einstein showed how they only work to very closely estimate solutions to a specific subset of physical phenomena, over a certain range, etc. So obviously, our "laws" are just useful estimation techniques, and should not be considered as having any permanent relation to life, the universe, or other difficult and complex topics. Science doesn't mean anything special unless we prescribe some other equally artificial meaning to some results (i.e. numerology).
I think that because there is still competition, that's what makes the story continually interesting. In other words, this type of back-and-forth with similar market shares amongst many systems is the type of competition that would exist in the computer software world, were it not for certain monopoly-like forces. If either nintendo or sony "won", then there wouldn't be any story anymore.
All you have to do is look at Yahoo answers' average question clarity to get a sense of why whole-sentence AI may not be the best strategy for a search engine.
That sounds more like reverse engineering to me. I used to write games, but I don't play games in order to go, "hmmm, how can I do this in my game?" Usually I think, "why does this game suck and how can I make games that don't suck in the ways that this game sucks?"
It's much easier to hit the water, and in theory you should be able to get a softer landing on water. However, if you land in the middle of the south pacific, it's a bit more difficult logistically to pick you up from there and get you home, vs. landing on some runway with roads connecting it to the regular highway system of your homeland.
If this is what we know about publicly that Facebook is up to, how long will it be before something surfaces about them collecting DNA or some other ungodly personal info and selling it? Won't someone think of the children?!
I heard from.. sources... that the SR-71 can do Mach 5. Also, they have scramjets that can already do mach 7:
In the process of demonstrating a scramjet-powered airplane in flight for the first time, the March 2004 flight set a world speed record for an "air breathing" (jet-powered) vehicle. It flew at nearly Mach 7, or 5,000 mph. It easily surpassed the previous record set by the military's now-retired SR-71 Blackbird high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, which flew at about Mach 3.2.
I returned from Nigeria with a sample of the XO laptop... and a few copies of Vista Ultimate... and Indiana Jones 4 and the next Harry Potter pre-production master on DVD... and a country's worth of spam in my inbox!
Maybe not, the article links mention they're limiting to a 100 per month production run. Subtracting out the materials, and they're probably making a few grand a month. Not bad for a single person but it probably wouldn't pay for the 3d printer lease.
They may just not want to say "we're waiting to see what the next version of safari/firefox/etc. does that IE7 doesn't do, so we can copy it in an impractical but whiz-bang way".
If this was the case, then why doesn't every boxing match break out into 50,000 individual boxing fights? Apparently it only affects people who would not only reenact something that on the surface is dangerous, but also explicitly says "DONT DO THIS" in effort to dissuade people from... trying to do it.
Moreover, this type of thing happens all the time as companies test to see how much it will really cost to make a change vs. manual sort of existing product. In many cases, it's cheaper just to let them manually do the sort, depending on conditions. Hence why there are so many manual counters of pills in pharmacies, instead of some machine that just counts the pills.

I know the difference between Jackson and Lucas, and I hope that difference remains intact through both of these additional movies!

Note to director: please don't add some pointless character to sell kids toys in this movie, just go "by the book", literally.

And now for all the jokes relating the number of half-life sequels to some periodic radioactive decay!

I concur that turning off the device solves the work/home balance issue. at home == off!

only unbiased contributions should be allowed to edit Wikipedia. That's a simple rule to implement, right?

The RIAA lawsuits can and will continue, because they are over sharing that didn't give a cut of the revenue to labels.
This has to be bogus... who would say "gig-flops"? I thought that's what happens at a bad local band performance (the gig flops).

Aren't the rings bashed up/unformed moons anyhow?

Off-camera stuff would cost you a ton more, but on-camera you could probably get 3 scenes for that... of course, then you're on camera.
