I want a 40+ watt Nd:YAG laser. Specifically, I want a laser cutter. They're great for making all sorts of things out of a variety of materials, the clean cuts in anything from acrylic (on low power) through aluminium or thin steel are amazing. That said, laser cutters are fully enclosed. You don't see the laser, and you really don't want to.
You can get console-quality graphics by cranking the settings down, or you can pay more money and get PC-quality graphics with a new video card and the settings up.
The PS3 has shown that consoles aren't immune to DRM problems, and the Xbox360 has had some too (assassin's creed 2, for example.)
Finally, while the PC may cost more you also get a perfectly good computer out of it, not just a game console.
They are an example of how new species can evolve through geographical separation. If they were all one species than any population could mate with any other, since that isn't the case they are separate species.
I don't know, the Nokia N8 will have a 1/1.8 sensor, and a reasonable Zeiss lens. So similar to a Canon point-and-click, but no optical zoom and shorter focal length. THAT is the real killer compared to a real camera.
True, though they got Gila right (the G is an H sound.) CCP needs to tape some fights between devs or something and have the commentator candidates comment it live during the interview.
I've done the Agony classes, and helped with the instruction (not in AGONY, just friendly and experienced). Their PVP-BASIC class is very basic, though you should know your way around the UI (Where the orbit, approach, warp, etc buttons are, how to fit a ship, etc).
Lowsec is a problem. Sec hits + sentry mechanics + danger + low rewards compared to 0.0/wormholes = low population. There's no good reason to go there and it's very risky.
Learning to PVP isn't that hard. EVE University and Agony Empire both offer classes to anyone who can pay the (very small) fee. The UI should be easier, but it isn't by any means impossible.
Sadly the player "experts" are rather moronic this year. "Oh, look, that dramiel is trying not to die. Let's talk about nothing instead of analyzing the match." "He must be a master of orbiting." etc, etc.
EVE can be "free" to play, since you can buy Game Time Codes with in-game currency via CCP's secure code transfer system. Of course you have to farm ISK, but a single character doing T2 invention/manufacturing in the right areas can pay for the GTCs for itself and 1-2 other characters.
As far as I know that is incorrect. If A cannot mate with E they do not form a ring. Larus gulls, the classic example, do form a ring, and can mate all the way around (A can mate with E).
This is especially evident in cases of ring speciation. Example with 5 species, A through E:
Species A can mate with B and E. B can mate with A and C. C can mate with B and D. D can mate with C and E. E can mate with D and A.
A cannot mate with C or D. B cannot mate with D or E. C cannot mate with E or A. D cannot mate with B or A. E cannot mate with B or C.
The species form a ring (often a literal geographic ring) and can hybridize with the adjacent species, but not with the opposing ones. If producing fertile offspring were the only definition of a species there would be a conflict.
The birds must have gone extinct after the painting was made. The extinction time of the birds puts a limit on the latest the painting could have been made. The making of the painting tells pretty much nothing about when the birds when extinct.
Sometimes it would. Damages for one case might be capped, but if they think it could lead to a class-action or other large suit they could well spend more than the maximum damages defending.
Bullshit it had never been tried, Ixtoc was over twice as deep. A top kill + junk shot slowed it, and relief wells allowed it to be capped. See my post above, or any of the info on the Ixtoc 1 spill. Not to say it is an easy or non-delicate operation, but it has been done. (Ixtoc took almost 10 months to stop, so one could argue that it has never been done this fast before.)

Welding mask should save your eyes from any backscatter. Not sure about a direct beam hit though.

Actually, Econ 101 does apply. Specifically the section on cartels applies. The free market sections don't, of course.

No one. EMACS is a superset of VI, and thus superior.
He also left out VI vs EMACS cults. Unforgivable, EMACS must be included!

Yeah. Now they have the head of Goonswarm. Great choice~

How about for a laptop "aircard" or such? Or a tablet.
Bird feed often contains sunflower seeds and other seeds with higher fat and protein content. Birds like that more.
This is especially evident in cases of ring speciation. Example with 5 species, A through E:
Species A can mate with B and E. B can mate with A and C. C can mate with B and D. D can mate with C and E. E can mate with D and A.

The Swallow
By Ratatosk, Squirrel of Discord
In birds have poets often found their muse,
both in their flight and in their feathered hues.
The Raven, dark as blood dried on a knife.
The Songbird, calling spring from death to life.
Thus birds can be beloved or despised
Based on the things they've often symbolized
Yes, symbols might make up the way we see,
the citizens of every bush and tree.
From stately hawk to vultures in the air,
and early birds delight in wormy fare.
(So before you think my words ring hollow,
I present a poem of the Swallow.)
Though might is often tied to creatures' size,
That is not where the swallow's power lies,
And while it may catch insects on the wing,
I write about a very different thing.
Perhaps some few shall see through my intent,
And understand just what the swallow meant.
It may be small but you can be assured
a swallow on its own has often cured,
An ailment that could bring your spirits low
and limit when you come and where you go.
To save you from some twenty years of work,
Invoke the swallow and banish the stork.

Aaah, thanks for the correction. Clearly I read the info on Ixtoc incorrectly. I shall be more careful in the future.
Bullshit it had never been tried, Ixtoc was over twice as deep. A top kill + junk shot slowed it, and relief wells allowed it to be capped. See my post above, or any of the info on the Ixtoc 1 spill.
