The movie scenes you're referring to were likely added so that they make sense when they appear in the video game, for people too young (or ignorant) to realize what a video game about the movie "Cars" would probably look like. Anytime you see a "video game-y" scene in a newer movie, you can be sure that 1) there will be a video game based on the movie, and 2) it will feature gameplay similar to the in-movie game trailer you've just been forced to watch./rant
nothing preventing you from a mission that supports 150+kg load of... "cargo"... to mars, and then after the ban expires, lo and behold the cargo includes humans.
Q: What kind of hooker you can get for 4500 dollars? A: The kind that will make you wonder why anyone would spend that much money on a WOW-branded computer.
PS: that's 1 4500-dollar hooker, or 4500 1-dollar hookers...
Some years ago, my dad tried to get a software patent on some missle control software. The US PTO guy that they had enlisted to help personally told my dad that "there will NEVER be software patents". I wonder what happened to that guy?
Sure, the chimps beat the test. And how many people do you know could weave a spider web from silk? Very few. Of course, those chimps didn't drive themselves to the testing station, didn't sign their names and fill out the forms, etc. So clearly more is going on than just memory = intelligence.
Saying something's bad is a lot easier than providing viable alternatives. After all, if you throw paint on fur, doesn't that just make the wearer (who obviously is not adverse to buying fur) have to go buy another one, thus propagating the industry more? It's much harder to legitimately convince them to wear something else.
What compelling option is there to the following current scenario: Some CD has 10 songs and costs 10 bucks. I have only heard 3 songs from that CD. I can "guess" that the other 7 are probably not as good since they weren't released as singles, and I can save $7 by buying just the 3 songs I have heard/want. If they want to sell a whole CD, make sure all the songs are preview'able and equally good!
I concur, just make it as simple as possible, as non-error-prone as possible. Any of the stuff that "kinda works" should be in a separate spec, i.e. the HTML-KW (kinda works) specification.
It's weird to have someone announce that some consoles will not undercut the competition for an additional year, especially with news that the Wii still sells so well that it's barely in stores long enough to collect dust.
Outlook is purposefully difficult to interface with, as with most Microsoft products, so that if you have to get events from/to it, you're stuck with it.
I recently read a bio written about my g-g-grandfather, whom i never met. The bio was written in 1923, and describes a man that "is never idle and believes in improving the mind. He is first, last and all the time a student, particularly along literary and historical line and in natural history and scientific subjects."
I would hope that my bio says something like that at some point, but at the very least it appears that his interests and tenacity to learn may have been passed down, since he and I were raised in completely different conditions by very different parents/parenting styles."
Phone explosion was probably caused by some 50-ton rock hitting the guy in the chest. I don't see how anything as small as a phone battery could shatter ribs unless it was traveling at a tremendous rate of speed, i.e. if someone replaced his battery with c-4 and detonated it, then maybe.
yep, we relied on horses for thousands of years for transportation because they were awesome... except when compared with the mechanical endurance of planes, trains, and automobiles.
I agree, you probably just need more sleep. Keep in mind most "healthy" looking people who enjoy diet and exercise have been doing it for a LONG time, i.e. me, for 10+ years. The first while is pretty miserable, but it gets better and better, to where now I enjoy daily improvement with any sort of targeted exercise or diet changes, and I basically look as good as I want to.
It's 2007 now, so this is 18 years in the future. If you look at columns from 18 years ago, i.e. 1989, do you see anything about the iPhone, Linux live CD's, asynchronous XML-HTTP calls, Google, Segway, etc. as research areas of interest?
what about eating in moderation with exercise? Why does it have to be so extreme, i.e. no sugar, no fat, "no" something? The recommended amount of exercise is 30 minutes per day -- it's actually a fair amount, if you're biking or jogging 30 minutes per day, and eating in moderation, i.e. let's say within the FDA guidelines for diet, and you're still overweight, then you might have a medical need for weight treatment. Otherwise, try all of those things first.
Awesome, sorry if someone already posted but I just couldn't resist the following quote:
Instantly, technicians present began to troubleshoot the problem. "There was a lot of attention on the signs and symptoms of the problem and very little attention on what is very often the first step you have in triaging an IT incident, which is, 'What was the last thing that got changed in this environment?'" Raffin said.
p.s. I am shocked at how many junior cowboy IT people remain employed, given the supposed glut of hire-able and knowledgeable folks.
If an AO rating is equivalent to a sales ban, why does it exist? You can sell hardcore pornography to adults but you can't sell them a violent video game because sony/nintendo won't license it for the console? WTF?
True, except that to most people Chemotherapy means radiation therapy coupled with the drugs that make your hair fall out to combat the harmful effects of the radiation, etc.

You fool! They deleted nothing! muhahahaha!
Seriously though, in Soviet Russia, Facebook deletes you.

Maybe just don't use it. What is your company going to do, fire you for not wasting work time creating a virtual soap opera?

It's hard to argue with EMI's logic there, file sharing certainly isn't stopping... perhaps DRM will go the way of prohibition.

Does it travel back in time/come out the other side/anything else cool, or is it just like hitting a bug on the windshield? News at 11.

How are they dealing with the permafrost? I thought you couldn't build things in Siberia because the buildings just sink into the mud in the summer.
I concur, without both claws at least, and one body segment, it's impossible to say it wasn't more like a fiddler with one 5x-sized claw.
