No he didnt, Morrowind was vastly superior to oblivion. In fact i recently played through morrowind again, for like the millionth time. The only fun I have in oblivion is the complex hassles of installing huge mods like FCOM:p Oblivion just feels like boring english countryside, theres no life to it at all, its like i just strolled down the road into the fields. Morrowind felt wierd, alien. Had an insanely good atomsphere. Morrowind also didnt have the insane stupid level creatures lists. That was the biggest killer of the game for me. At high levels even crappy random road bandits are wandering around in full ebony gear and shit? wtf. You could fix all this stuff with mods of course, but that is not the point. Shivering Isles captured some of what morrowind was at least. They have said they are gonna try get some of that old feel back into skyrim.
Theres nothing saying it couldnt be black holes or machos or whatever, the problem is it would take a truly preposterous configuration of them to explain the lensing effects.
People understand explosions though. Radiation terrifies people. They just dont understand it at all. People will freak the fuck out if you tell them bananas are radioactive like.
Rare earth elements arent actually rare, its just a confusing name. Thorium is actually pretty plentiful, 3 or 4 times more common than uranium and its very easy to extract. We get it was a by product when we purify the rare earths we need anyways. Thorium would have been used for the original nuclear reactors, its vastly safer and you cant use it to manufacture weapons. And therein lies the problem of course, they wanted to be able to make nukes from reactors back when we built them.
I believe you are right about them really making the numbers sound much better than they should be. That sounds like the kind of efficiency youd get from using thorium in a full-scale nuclear plant.
Those are all problems on any recent linux. Those sorts of issues are why win7 is my desktop base with Linux in vm. I ran Linux as my base os when I was younger and idealistic, it's totally not worth it, far nicer integration and usability in win7
That has only changed this year though right? It used to be more like 3k before the whole economic crisis. Even at that higher price its half the average price in america and id say the total amount over 4 years might be less than one year in the high level american universities.
Only because the american model runs colleges like a business. Over here in europe university is basically free. My fees this year are 1.5k. There is a benefit to universities though, you get to meet and interact with a lot of smart people. Abandoning universities entirely is not the way to go, reforming the broken model is.
if you can manage to get over the horrific controls there's really a great game with an awesome story hiding under there. took me several tries to get into it but it was worth it
netback is basically a solved puzzle at this stage, there's a calculated optimal amount of moves to win. humans are only a couple of hundred turns away from it, I think its like 2k or so turns.
because it is very obvious that we are moving very much towards browser orientated systems. for normal people this is a very good thing, you dont need to install anything, just start playing, easily move from your pc, to your laptop, to your phone, without hassles of copying work or saves. can you really not see how useful that is?
WoW ignoring casuals? maybe when it started but, but over the years blizzard have went out of their way to dumb the game down to a really boring least common denominator game. there used to be raids only 1% of people saw, now everyone has epics and plays in all endgame zones. The same is happening civilization, civ5 might aswell be a console game. Games these days are all about LCD.

Looking at what has been done with your "freedom" I think ill continue to prefer laws where we try to protect the stupid from themselves.
I love the generic products in Family Guy. Like a white box of "Generic Puffs" for breakfast cereal.

confusing fusion and fission in the first sentence makes it's pretty obvious you dont know what you are talking about

They ask people just like a normal anonymous study for anything.

That story, The Machine Stops is creepy it predicts our current world so well. Im amazed at the vision of EM Forster. Well worth the read.
Im shocked your referring to this stuff as old, haha.
Oh right, kinda forgot about the beeping. Its very rare for me to encounter someone with a watch of any sort.
The botnet they are talking about here, TDL-4 actually does use an open p2p network for command and control, you take out one and another jumps in.
noise from a digital watch wtf, dont analog watches tick?
o'rielly publishers dropped drm on their ebooks and sales spiked a huge amount. http://boingboing.net/2010/01/22/oreilly-drops-ebook.html
mobile apps are mostly just browser front ends

oh sorry
he was clearly joking, the amount of people who can't see humor or sarcasm in text blows my mind
