Resellers sell the Wii through Amazon, be it new or used. The current minimum price is $389 from said resellers, and that's for a USED system.
Since there's a limited supply (and the inherent higher price) of Wiis, amazon.com is selling fewer Wiis. This is simple economics 101, day 1.
You're comparing apples to oranges.
Dismiss this with a "fanboy" handwave if you'd like, but you should at least engage brain prior to doing so.
If inventories of said seller were the same or even both in "available status", I'd have no ground to stand on and concede. This is not the case, however.
As of now, you still shoulder the burden of proof.
Nice ad-hom, I bet you get invited to all the conversations amongst your friends who have more than a middle-school education for your brilliant insights and clairvoyance.
All you gave was some fanboyisms about solaris 10 and bsd, despite being unable to prove or come up with any sort of an argument for either.
This is unsubstantiated and at best a fanboi's last stand and saving face on a thoughtless post.
The Wii, 8 months after launch, beating sales of the PS3 to a bloody pulp in addition to being sold faster than it can be shipped to most stores. Online services has popped up specifically to offer locating services of the Wii. bestbuy.com _still_ doesn't list it available online, yet shows stock at 6 locations near me for the PS3.
The simple fact is the PS3 is selling better than the Wii on amazon because THE WII ISN'T AVAILABLE.
If you don't like games stories, turn the option off in your preferences, otherwise be prepared to get stories about games. Seriously, it's not very hard to do.
The stories he's posting are about games. I have games display turned on in my preferences, so I see these games stories and read at my convenience. There's a concept.
I was kind of hoping the velociraptor could have more friends. It's sitting there pretty lonely next to Eve in all of those pics. It's unfortunate that original s(p)in happened, because now it can no longer munch on plants with those beautifully adapted plant-eating teeth.
I mean, what name other than velociraptor conjures up images of a bird casually munching on a blueberry?
The only "element of truth" you're going to get from a fundy is maybe a nice new bible.
We understand the sides:
Science: No commitment yet, some theories. Gladly take proof or evidence contradicting our statements. Religion: Steadfast, unwavering beliefs. Outside of saying "god did it", no way or even motivation to account for many things. People who don't give a fuck: Yeah.
It's called Spectroscopy, and is extremely cool stuff. It's used in everything from detecting compositions of stars/planets to identifying really old manuscripts.
Seems like he's doing OK to me. He might not have the academics down for "Project Management" but that might be one of the reasons _WHY_ it's successful - because he just releases it. People can do whatever the hell the like with it, and are not burdened with the red tape of some team.
Constitution, Article 1, Section 8. The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States;
It seems to me that the FDA isn't exactly unconstitutional, since it'd be hard to argue that it doesn't provide for the general welfare.
It depends on which difficulty you play and how you're surrounded. On some of the lower difficulty settings, barbarians don't even come. On (higher) lower ones, they come, but only during a window (say 1300-1500BC), and so on. If you're surrounded by civs, it's generally a bad idea to build the wall becauses the barbs ignore you and go after the other civs.
Indeed, you can also luck out and end up on your own smallish continent and you can place explorers all around so no areas are covered by the "fog of war" and you're immune to barbarians because none will spawn.
Other than that, and especially on higher difficulty settings, it can be a major advantage to have the great wall.
Actually, sex _does_ drive everything. Without the diversity sex offers, how would anything evolve at it's current rate? At best we'd have mutations from UV rays and the like. We'd probably all still be single celled organisms, or not much better than them.
Our bodies are just vessels our dna is using to perpetuate themselves.
So maybe we should just round up all these people that our draining our financial resources and execute them? I mean, why should we give a fuck if they have leukemia? Fucking shoot them and burn their bodies so they stop taking away our money! Fat people too! People in wheelchairs because we always have to build ramps for them! Old people because they have medicaid! Young people because we have to invest so much of our time and money to educate them to be adults!
Ostensibly, you're correct. However, while lifestyle does have a significant effect on your health, not all health problems are directly related to lifestyle. Forms of cancer, genetic diseases, accidents, etc. are all very real and very life threatening to people who are in good health.
That's not forcing someone to pay for your lifestyle, that's just having everyone bear the built-in cost of living - death and the conditions that eventually lead to it.
So you're arguing that we shouldn't use robots because other people will be out of a job?
Hate to break it to you, but it's been happening for 100+ years and there has been no disaster yet. It's called progress, you're living in the wrong age if you don't like advancement.
Well with those numbers, it would be hard. Fortunately, I know many people who do not have degrees and make much more than that. Hell, my brother drives truck (intra-state) and makes 35.
Does thiso mean that falling Social Security payouts, etc, will not significantly affect retirees in those states?
Could we better handle/mitigate the severity of the imminent SS doom by adopting such policies, since (having no sources to back it up) a probably significant portion of SS money goes to medical?
Freakenomics discusses this, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixing_Broken_Window s), in addition to other things, like how, say, the adoption (no pun intended) of abortion in the early 70s dropped crime rates 20 years later.
I suspect it's because generally your employer provides you with your health insurance, and while the insurance agent would love to charge you more because they know you smoke, your employer cannot ask _you_ those types of questions, so the insurance company compensates by charging everyone a rate commensurate with the statistical average of smokers, etc.
Well, sorry for misinterpreting your post as I thought you implied forcing. For the record, I agree with you when it comes to it being the person's choice.

It's amazing what ancillary things your finger can do when you take away it's primary purpose, like a right click.
Let me reiterate in the plainest terms possible:

No offense but that analogy isn't so good. The PIII would and does smoke a comparably clocked PIV.
You really should take the time to thank your mum for laundering that pillow you cry into every night.

Wow, that was a layman's book?!?!?
Seriously, though, one of the best technical books I've ever read.

Hey, they work for Bush.
Don't like how the law works? Just say they don't apply to you, and carry on with considering them.
