unless of course you don't care about blu-ray, or you don't care if a game has more than one disc (a lot of them used to, it wasn't a big deal), or if you want to do things like have custom soundtracks and chat across different games, etc etc Then some people might think it was an ok deal. The PS3 is a solid machine, but people care about different things. Whats important to you, is not necessarily important to me.
Actually, as mentioned above, the discovery is not about the monocytes exactly, but rather that the spleen hordes and dumps them when a trauma occurs. That abstract you quoted is talking about monocytes in general, and mentions the spleen in passing with the liver "and other parenchymal organs." We've known about the importance of monocytes for a long time and that the spleen was important to the immune system, just not exactly how it performed its function. So, yes, it's a new discovery.
Most of these seemed to follow what they said; rotor size directly affects energy output. But the Skystream seemed show about 265% more energy output for only a 20% increase in rotor size over the next best performer. Design would have to account for some of this, yes?
The claim on the site is that the cylinders can harvest indirect and reflected light as well. Conventional panels only use direct light. Therefore a horizontal mount is optimum for these cylinders since they will receive some direct light any time of day while still receiving reflected and indirect light. They also show how you can cover vastly larger areas with their cells because of the way they are mounted and designed to handle wind loads. The increase in coverage should more than make up for any loss of direct light. Of course, all this assumes that they are not big fat liars.
I've read a lot of discussion about the a la carte pricing idea, and while the opinions vary, the basic premise does not. If cable companies were forced to offer a la carte pricing, why assume they would stop offering the bundles? Seems to me they could offer both. If there is only one or two channels that interest you, you could go a la carte cheaper. If you want more, and they are expensive channels, you could go with a bundle to save money. I don't see why forcing the CC to offer individual channels would preclude them from also offering the bundles.
You're right, you didn't say the movies were used....I almost rewrote that part of my post, but decided "bah humbug!" I was just saying that while Tolkien might not have approved of the movies, I think he would have been very pleased with the game. It seems to me that you're saying that JRRT would not have approved of any commercialization of his works, and I'm not sure I can agree with that. If he was truly in this for the art, and the art ALONE, he would never have published anything. Money was a factor, and I'm sure the millions he'd be making would convince him that some commercialization would be okay. To relate back to the topic some more, I'm simply saying that this game does a MUCH better job of adhering to JRRT's books and lore than the movies did. For that reason alone, the game is worth a look if you're a Tolkien fan.
The developers used the books as reference material, not the movies. You can look up characters in the books that you interact with in the game. Not just Aragorn and Gandalf either, but hobbits that you never remembered. Tom Bombadil and his Lady are also in this with Tom even helping you out at one point. I think JRRT would be pleasantly surprised with the attention to detail that was put into this game.
Which is why all the cases are liquid-cooled and air cooled. TFA claims they have been designed to maximize airflow and with the liquid-cooling, I would imagine they don't run hot at all. Not to mention silently....
I remember paying $80 in the mid 80's for Tecmo Bowl and Zelda on the original NES...the rest of the games were around $50...bumping the price for the bigger titles has been around for a long time now...no surprise here
not quite away...like the TrekkieGod said, Synthohol didn't actually get you drunk, which is why is was the only thing available on a starship. But once they get into a port like DS9, and off-duty, they can find real alcohol. Although Synthohol was still in DS9. They drank it when on duty or when going on duty. In Voyager they were in a unique situation where they couldn't really go to a port, so I imagine the rules were relaxed for them.
well according to the Cheyenne Mountain website..."SG-1 has more than 17 million viewers each week in 64 countries" sounds like its way more popular overseas than here in America.....but consider the source:)
I believe that the website says the Ori are to be NPCs which will force the two opposing factions to temporarily ally themselves to defeat them. It also mentions that the game is based on SG-1 and Atlantis....so we'll see. This sounds like it has a lot of potential.....hope it succeeds.
...they had an article devoted to this. They basically built a controller to synchronize lights with music and activate various halloween devices. Worth a look for sure. Also partly available online at the MAKE website.
First of all, let me just say that despite my earlier posts, I am a fan of modern science. Though I feel that it is sometimes too quick to dismiss those ideas that run contrary to popular opinion.
But mainly, I want a better explanation for this photo,
other than NASA's assertion of "comera wobble."
Fair enough. I've just never liked seeing things get dismissed out of hand. I didn't know the scientific community had made an impartial investigation, only to find it incorrect.
Just trying to ensure that every voice is heard, no matter how incoherent it may be, at least once.:)
Funny all the quotes I heard from immediately after the Deep Impact mission, said that there was a much larger explosion than they were expecting. There was also much, much more fine(read talcolm powder fine) dust than they expected to see too.
Now I'm not saying that the EUM is right, but I do think that current science is guilty of many of the same things the EUM crowd has been accused of. 'Dark Matter' is just one example of modern science inventing something, with no basis on observed data, to explain observations that their own theories cannot. Just because a scientist is investigating things that aren't accepted by mainstream science, does not make him/her a crackpot. Galileo was also considered a crackpot and a heretic before other men of science finally checked on his theories, years later, and found them to be firmly based on observation and correct.
It is my understanding that there are currently TWO, completely different, models used to explain our universe today. Relativity to deal with all things large, and Quantum Mechanics for all things small. WHATEVER model that best explains the observed data, is the one to be used for a given event. If the EUM can better explain current observations, then it certainly deserves further, serious investigation by other, impartial, scientists.
Calling people crackpots, is not a very scientific way to behave. Makes you sound like a crackpot.:)
Sounds like he's rehashing the Cathedral and the Bazaar debate to me....hasn't it already been shown that Linux's Bazaar type development method is a surprisingly good one? The Linux kernel went from nothing in 1991 to relatively stable in 1993, after 10 years of no success. What a whiner.
never meant to imply he had any intelligence:) just trying to pick a well known example. I was simply trying to illustrate the path we appear to be on. To think that the human brain is beyond our comprehension is short sighted. Only time will tell.

Another man with integrity and vision.
Wood is exceptionally bad at this.

What, did someone steal my idea?
My memory is vague about Voyager, but I know that Chief O'Brien had SynthAle on several occasions on DS9

MediaPortal is written by the same guy(s) that did XBMC for the xbox. No suprise that its shaping up to be another great app.
I'll second that! XBMC is my most oft used app. I especially love the ability to stream content from my PC.....who needs TiVo? not me.
If this can be proven, this is an act of war. Tell me again why China has Most Favored Nation status? WWIII seems close at hand.
