(Actually true. I've been surfing the internet since prodigy was a BBS system. Ever since the ads started I've been dedicatedly ignoring them. Sometimes to the point where I don't even see them.
The higher stat items would become more valuable, and people actually using the items in game would begin to associate the product with the bonus.
Player:I need to buy a bunch of Sprite to pump my speed up for PVP. Man I'm thristy. I better grab a sprite from the kitchen.
Then you could also put in reverse advertising with codes from the sprite bottle-caps being tradable for chances to win powerful equipment (with the sprite logo) in game.
That would be far better than just having ad splashes.
I don't see your problem. Regulation has been doing a great job of controlling air quality, and it will only get better from here. We are currently right around the peak of pollution production. Once China is finished with its industrial revolution pollution will no longer be a global problem.
Nanotech will actually help in this regard. Filters made of carbon nanotubes placed over smoke stacks could catch pretty much all particulate matter. Also if nanofacturing really takes off using diamandoid materials then carbon will become a valuable commodity, thus further reducing all sorts of pollution.
Generally the speed of human innovation overwhelms most long-term problems once we are aware of them.
You mean you actually believed those old propaganda videos? Do you know that in those films antimatter is a code word for puppies?
When Geordie referred to the "antimatter containment units" he was referring to the kennels where puppies were forced to run on treadmills to power the ship. When the puppies died from exhaustion they were liquefied and fed intravenously to the rest of the puppies.
More likely the EU would just legalize the pirating of Microsoft products. This would of course violate the copyright treaties, but after all only the US is expected to fufill the terms of any treaty so no big loss.
No it would have the same escape velocity that earth does.
While it would have a deeper gravity well, most of that well would be under ground.
Of course this assumes that the material you are using was indestructible. Otherwise it would collapse in on itself under its own weight instead of just stacking endlessly.
Jury duty is pretty much compulsory. Unless you can give the judge and attorneys good reason to drop you, make them think you are biased for or against the plaintiff, or convince them you are fricken insane you have to attend.

Were they killed by the gamma radiation, or was it the following rampage of very angry, large, green fish?

You check the link and it has updated off schedule once, and it encourages you to check it repeatedly just in case.
For me when I run a faulty code segment a second time, I am just trying to figure out what the exact cause of the error is.
The difference is that here you are drinking the sprite and associating it with a reward.
On the movie it is someone else drinking the Sprite.
Or even better.
Put the product in game with stat bonuses.
You pay per stat+

And for those who care...
An MLA/APA auto formatter for references.
Every teacher at my school has recommended it to me. (Although I myself have not yet gotten a chance to try it.)
I'm sure it could be done eventually. It would take a long time and a lot of effort though.
Yeah I don't want to have to wear a 200 pound heat sink on my head.

Ahhhh...

Labeling would be redundant.
ALL food is GM.
Its called thousands of years of selective breeding.
Genetic alteration is just a more efficient method of what we already did.
So would that cancer eating guy off of the X-files.
Mmm cancer burger, *drool*
I have a train that runs on dihydrogen monoxide expansion.

Are you kidding?

How about a nice game of chess?

Okay and once you get it working I'm sure you'll make millions. (For the company that owns the Hoover trademark.)

So if the squirrel gets eaten by a bird do you call it a mistrial?
I don't really want a rebellion or revolution. I just want the government to be remade from the ground up.
It probally won't happen though, because the people who benifit most from the government system we have now are the people who are in charge of it.
Paper attracts insects, is inflammable, and is difficult and costly to maintain.
Also paper requires more effort to locate any specific record.
Not a SNAFU.
Its a Charlie Foxtrot
I hate to tell you this, but many of the things that George pointed out are core practices of the democrat leaders.
Think the three-minute hate versus Al Gore's speeches about GWB.
I'm not going to excuse the republican's various problems, but at least the lunatics aren't running the asylum. (See Howard "The Scream" Dean
