Just use a centrifuge, which would solve all these problems of low gravity on our biology. Require everyone to spend one or two hours a day in a big one exercising, browsing slashdot, or whatever at one gravity. Pregnant women have to spend a little more time. Using the centrifuges we should be able to retard, if not stop the worst effects of a low gravity enviroment. Just my two cents.
"If a player completes your game, they are much more likely to buzz about, spreading the word that it was a great game." Or in the case of Max Payne 2 that you can beat it in less than five hours.
Hear hear. Addictive, fun, completely distructable enviroments (my favorite way to clear a building is to blow it to crap and let it come crashing down on the enemy), solid skill tree, and abbility to play Axis or Allies. Even though it takes me over an hour to clear most maps it has that "just one more game" addiction. If you liked X-Com or Terror from the Deep it is a must buy. Plus there is already an expansion on the way.

nope, according to the article only infrared and visable light is getting blocked, UV still gets to the ground
It is a good idea, i was actualy thinking about picking up a few xboxes this christmas and setting them up as settops with wireless connections to my main box to serve movies and music. Maybe build a mythtv box too. then i shall be uber.
The resolution is NTSC, power supply might need a converter, but maybe not. The games seem to be downloaded from an in store kiosk, so unless you plan to be visiting China for your game fix, we will have to wait for someone to hack it. Thankfully Nintendo has provided a handy USB port right on top of the controler.
Samurai Jack overrated? It is only the best action show I have ever seen because that is its mandate: action. Did you see the giant robot ep? Out did Big O and Evangellion for robot action. How about the Jack vs Evil Jack? Top of the line samurai action. Jack and the Spartans? Thermopylae redux.
RTCW:ET is amazing, multiple classes, real team work needed and 100% free. Plus the SDK was released today, so some great new maps should be on the way.
I say let China start throwing people into space and I hope they make it to the moon. NASA can sit on their hands and keep sending up probes. Once the Chinese start mining the moon the thing will look like an apple core in a hundred years.
In my spare time i am a potter, never had any formal training but was taught everything i know by my mother who has been a potter for a bit over 30 years. It is real relaxing and has quite a few fun bits dealing with chemisty (i make all my own glazes and oxides) as well as being a great upper body workout. Plus all your smoker friends will dig it when you start handing out free ashtrays.
The Stone Canal by Ken MacLeod is a fun read with a mix of nano tech and mind bending, lots of stuff about intellegent machines and what it means to be real. Interesting descriptions about what it may be like to be an enhanced person with nano assisted abilities.
and don't forget that the helium they are using to cool these reactors comes from Texas, which has 90% of the worlds helium reserves. That is why the zeplins used hydrogen, the US government wouldn't allow the export of helium to germany in the 30s.

Well now I know what I am going to ask Santa for next year.

And here I was expecting this guy to start hawking old Gold Box games of AD&D.

yep, a cigarette lighter sized memory stick would be about 16 gigs of data, thats about 3200 mp3s or 10 movies, not bad IMHO

Plus Mako.
Can't get enough crazy Mako.
Too bad I will miss it, trying to compete with ROTK? Crazy.
steam is nuts
I bet you that Valve is going to try to figure a way to charge a monthly fee to play TF2 or CS2, hell probably HL2 down the road too.
it might just be me, but that excite link is being blocked by spybot S&D
65 billion double dollars?
He is worth more than Vash the Stampede!!!
I for one welcome our new Grey Goo Masters!

Wow, i wonder if Duke Nukem Forever will be shareware?
