Truely you have hit the nail on the head. I have no faith in them after the debacle that was DX2. The removal of the skill system, unified ammo, and other asinine design descisions has left a bad taste in my mouth.
I don't consider Theora a modern codec in the same class as H.264 or VC-9.
Could you elaborate as to why? Stating an opinion is well and good, but providing some data as to why you feel thus would be helpful. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and disable my troll detector.
Why bother with a meat based body that atrophies and grows old, when you could have a much more durable robotic body? This technology could allow for prosthetic bodies, once we overcome the engineering problems.

Lisa: Area 51!? I found Area 51!
Guard: No m'am this is Area 51A
Lisa: Grr....well, um, i'm kind of lost, can you tell me where I am?
Guard: I'm sorry, the location of this location is classified!
Mutually assured destruction would result. The McD faction would try and wipe out BK, and BK would try the same on McD. Anarchy and violence would prevail, and the streets would run red with blood. Or maybe not:)
That knocking at your door is the agents from the Bar Association. Please turn yourself in peacefully, and nobody will be harmed. Your thought crime will be dealt with appropriately.
An interesting idea, actually. I had once semi-jokingly said to a friend that a stripped down linux on a disc could be used as a basis for games. In theory it would work pretty well, only the necessary stuff is loaded up. However, there would be no way to know what sort of hardware the machine booting the disc would have installed. I guess this is basically the idea behind those ill fated linux based consoles?
Ah, but the real-life stories they can tell you can have real-life lessons. You figure them out.
Time for the Obligatory Simpsons Quote!
Abe Simpson: I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. 'Give me five bees for a quarter,' you'd say.
Now where were we? Oh yeah - the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...
The press will have a field day, and critics will say "I told you so! Space is dangerous! Bring our boys home!"
Some days I think someone should just bitchslap the press and tell them to stfu. Of course space is dangerous! But so is building highrise buildings, flying aircraft, mining, etc. If we cowered in fear because of every potentially dangerous thing, we'd still be swinging from trees.
Tv is different framerates depending on the standard . In North America we use ntsc, which is 29.97fps. From what I understand Europe has two standards, Pal and Secam, both running at 25fps.
To be honest, I haven't watched Angel in years, but I am displeased to see it cancelled. It was a good show, from the 1st 2 or 3 seasons I saw. It was much better than this reality tv drek the networks are shoving down our throats. I recall seeing an article here on/. showing that the viewership numbers for males 20-30 were dropping off bigtime. Gee, I wonder why?! I can't even name a tv show I watch consistently anymore (although, I have been dling and watching Enterprise episodes to get caught up, and am planning to watch it more). Suffice to say that if this trend continues, network tv will become somthing of the past.
Could someone please tell me what the hell gets people so damn scared about the issue of cloning?
Theoretically, cloning on a mass scale could lead to a lack of genetic diversity in a population. This would make said population very susceptible to all sorts of diseases. That is somthing to be concerned about. However, I have a feeling most people who fear cloning think that clone = exact copy, right down to the mind.

Ahh, I thought so.
If you replace GTA 3 with [insert EA Sports Title here] you can see that recycling the same engine, gameplay, art, etc is not an uncommon procedure.
Of course you are right. However, this is /. we're talking about :P

Err, could the DMCA apply in some warped way to said countermeasures?

We have the capability right now to have a moon base. We merely lack the motivation to get off our asses and do it.

If I'm not mistaken, the station was actually encircling the moon. It acted as a gun platform / dock for the ships.

The Thunderbirds, the USAF team fly F-16s. The Blue Angels, the Navy team fly F/A-18s. Where in the article does it say "F16 Hornet" by the way?

I'm guessing that percentage will go up after reading this.
