There is a obvious reason to make a new bomb. Actually a few.
1) current bombs are HUGE. They are not tactical nukes they are blow the fucking country away and kill everyone in it nukes. Any new nukes would be designed to cause the least amount of enviromental damage possible.
2) The old designs will likely not work with our new design equipment.
3) There is a great potential to learn more about fusion via a new nuclear bomb program. We stopped at doing it uncontrolled, there is strong potential that by going back to the drawing board we might be able to use the information to build a true substainable fusion reactor.
its no different than someone saying something is awful because they use thier own fucked up western mentality of whats right in the world when 90% of the world thinks its wrong.
then again we want to change the world when most of the US has the same issues with low wages and poor working conditions, and unlike the chineese economy ours doesnt support people making minimum wage. Maybe if you guys actually focused on the US and fix OUR problems before you delt with other countrys poor working conditions, the US might have one leg to stand on when trying to get other countrys to use our example. Its kinda hard to tell someone else to be moral in their ehtics when you have a lower class who cant even afored rent when most chineese can in their economy.
Well Apple doesnt have to go too far to look, wired already interviewed someone on the Foxxcom plant...
Nicholas Lardy, a senior fellow at the pro-globalization International Institute for Economics, said Hon Hai has an "excellent reputation." He says factories in China operated by big global companies like Hon Hai are very different from smaller, indigenous operations. International giants usually enforce the same work practices in China as they do in other parts of Asia, or Europe and United States, according to Lardy.
seems the whole thing is a non-issue, but its typical of the east vs west mentality. People feel that if other people arn't making 40'000 a year there is a problem. The real problem is that what is cheap here (50 bucks) could be a mint in other nations and there is nothing wrong with that. Not to mention other cultures do not subscribe to a notion of owning luxures.
Its well know they wont because they are selling iPods, but dont play dumb to the fact that they make it insanely easy to remove the DRM and have never patched the holes to that.
All Apple really does is say "hey these tracks will only play on a iPod as is, but if you have even 10% of a brain you will know to burn a CD rerip it and tada music for your nomad."
Yes they are selling iPods, but only idiots and morons who shouldnt touch a computer think that Apple is trying to FORCE you to buy a iPod, not when someone with a shred of techno savy knows how to bypass it.
To censor a opinion you have to have one. She contradicts every single thing that comes out of her mouth. It is widely known that not only do liberals hate her, but most republicans too because she routinely is used as a example of what is wrong with the right wing because she is so fascist and out of touch from even the extreme right in her ideals.
Dvorak is just a idiot, she on the otherhand exibits the type of evil one sided view that helped the Nazi party come to power.
When it first came out they did tell you what the breakdown was. Apple gets just enough to keep their servers running and to improve iTunes (less than 10% of the sale), the company gets all the rest but there was a requirement that a decent percentage of it HAD to go to the artist not like 50% of it, but enough that it was valid and not the artist was getting 2 cents when the label got 88.
Unfortunaly I cant seem to find the old page on thier site that spelled it out.
I find it so funny reading this comment right after reading a comment about someone wondering why todays players are so impatient as to suck all the fun out of the games by making them faster and faster pace, even when there is no need to or rather the system its based on actually makes you not want to because it loses the whole meaning of the game.
For example, fast pace battles in a game intended to be based on the slow pen and paper turn based system, the whole point of Final Fantasy (a D&D clone)
Well I guess we have the traditional play in Dragon Quest now for those people who want a throwback to better days.
last I looked July was still 2006, unless your looking at some newfangled cal. Regardless of which the Core 2 has been tested and released to media which is all that counts for these types of things.
now do I think making a best of list in June when the year isnt even over yet is stupid... yes.
yes but one can take what they learn or say here and expand on it.
That "piece of flesh" was still going to be one 10 days or 100 years later. She WASNT getting better, and the state was pouring millions in supporting her
well this is basically the philosophy behind shareware, and as a Mac user I can tell you there are a TON of decent fun but not graphically superior games out there made in 2-3 months time.
and given the Dev kit is cheap (2-5 thousand) I see no reason people wouldnt pick it up to make a game.
well lets be honest, the iPod was not a result of a corporate-manufactured cultural movement at first. It has become that after word of mouth and Apple laching onto the momentum it created.
at the current time yes, but Microsofts been on record for wanting to remove that and use their own transportable document format. Easiest way to do that (and what they have done in the past) is to "break" the format they are up against in their system so that it looks like its the files fault, when in truth its the program creating/running it.
you have little far to look than the current state of the web to see how Microsoft has broken formats to lock people into using microsoft only products. It didnt start out that way, but they made it that way over time and with people not even seeing what was going on.
very valid reason (well on Microsofts part) They want to release a "superior format" and lock people into it by removing it from thier software and saying Adobe made us do it.
Basically they are flat out lying to ruin adobe by getting the idiot masses to rebel against Adobe.
funny, my 5 year old iBook has had NONE of these problems. (I got lucky)
And I can look around the corner at 1 year old Dells that need to be replaced.
The fact is shit happens, and it happens to all computers. I have had computers not work out of boxes, i have had computer last 3 years then just self destruct, I have had computers still work 20 years later.
Like what was the point (other than the shortage of lites they had in Japan) of not releasing them all over? The DS isnt region encoded so you could always import one over to the US, so why wait to ship it?
actually i think the edit is more in line with the emperor NOT knowing that Luke was Vaders son.
Vader knows, he calls him Luke Skywalker early on in the film, he can sense that the boy in the cockpit was infact his son he thought was dead. Its the Emperor who doesnt have that blood connection who beleives that the Skywalker children died with Padme.
you forgot re-editing the emperor in ESB makes it sync in line with Return of the Jedi too.
IMHO it was a good edit, it needed to be done, especially when you realize the emperor in ESB was a chick.
you mean 0. Since both the Xbox and the PS2 and now development for the new systems has kept both companys gaming divisions in the red.
Its amazing the difference between a company who never sells for a loss (Nintendo) and a company that always does (Sony and Microsoft) in order to get more machines out there hoping to make the money up in game sales.... see you actually MAKE money if you dont spend as much.
The not wanting WoW players I mean. I have come to deeply despise WoW players myself as a pure example of the continued dumbing down of the gaming generation. Anything hard is bad, quick returns are good. And forget about any sense of rollplay.
But quite frankly its really stupid to hate mechanics from WoW cause some of them are REALLY very good. Worse most come from Everquest it's self, which a LOT of the hardcores hold as sacred, WoW just improved on this.
My take. Just get rid of the bad element of beta testers. Or better yet just ignore them when you know they are making a rediculous suggestion. It's their place to find the bugs, not dictate the design of the game.

I have seen some original NES games go for over 80 bucks, 5 bucks is perfectly fine in my mind to buy a LEGAL copy of the game.

Thats a way to compete with the competition, call all its buyers sheep. Worked real well last presidential election I heard

THESE THINGS HAPPEN WITH HEAVY USE ELECTRONICS.
THEN it would be bitch'n
you can just shut the DS. The DS will automatically pause when its closed and go into a always on sleep mode.
from whats being said, it seems they where allowed to release them early. Just about ever Walmart and Targets put them out.

no no no its the scene where Kirk and Spock are talking after the Kobiashi Maru sim and Spock says that Saavik is half Romulan!
