I have a hard time swallowing that given the nice round shape of its orbit. Of course, if this is a reference to some movie or game I don't know, never mind.
Speaking as someone whose in-laws live about 3 blocks from where that Airbus that lost its tail on takeoff from JFK went down, I can assure you that it is truly astonishing how little is left when a large plane crashes, and how small the devastation on the ground can be. Unless you think that was staged too.
Given the game-breaking power of many, many items in nethack (WoW? CoMR? SDSM?), I can't see it working in multiplayer without being a vastly different game.
I highly doubt your doctor/pharmacist is legally allowed to lie to you as to the purchase you're making.
NPR ran a piece a month or two ago about the huge medicare fraud problem in south Florida - people set up things like fake dialysis, chemotherapy, or AIDS drug centers and administer placebos which they then bill medicare many thousands of dollars for.
In the vast majority of cases where 1080p is important to the viewer, the content originated at 24 fps. They're not shooting sports events with 1080p60 cameras yet, are they? That leaves only video games, which is a fairly small chunk of the market.
because the dumb self-destructiveness he speaks of is the act of not wearing a seatbelt. And I'd say he's making a fair stab at taking liability for his actions; my car insurer at least doesn't publish rates above $300k liability.
I see no reason that a computer shouldn't be able to handle this problem any worse than it could jpeg compress a photo into a file 1 tenth of the original size, with little noticeable difference.
How about the fact that our visual systems can handle heavily degraded color information (JPEG crams the and b color channels into lower bit depths while mostly leaving luminance intact) much better than heavily degraded shape information? After all, we walk into changing lighting conditions all the time, but barring high fever and hallucinogens, we can usually count on objects to maintain their boundaries.
First of all, you can take the A train from Penn Station to JFK today, and have been able to for decades. Of course it takes 2 hours and goes through the worst areas of Brooklyn.
In terms of a more pleasant ride, they're halfway there already with the Airtrain. Given that the Airtrain is driverless, and the LIRR is not, and the track gauge isn't the same, you won't see it anytime soon. Still, they left room for connecting track at the Jamaica LIRR transfer, and some of the designers were talking about LIRR-sized sleds the Airtrain cars could roll onto for a journey to Manhattan.
I'm not even going to dignify the "fiber and microwave" bits with a response, as any half-intelligent fool knows that both technologies predate commercial dialup and DSL internet access by DECADES.
I suggest you look up what the "M" in MCI stands for, how it got there, and what that ultimately meant for Ma Bell.
Bear in mind that you mean "practical range approaching 200 miles in Buffalo in January," which is quite a bit more range in sunny LA, and still isn't practical for people living in Texas and other western states with hundreds of miles between cities.
Take SimCity for example - if you could adapt it to instead be used for city-planning in works departments (water, gas, civil/construction, hydro, etc.), it would make things more simple/easy, and it could simulate the future.
it's 24 fps, but presented at 48 Hz. The extra flicker makes a difference to your perception of the persistence of the image. Similar to how a 60 Hz monitor and a 120 Hz monitor could display the same 30 fps animation with differing levels of eyestrain.
Tom Knoll works for Adobe and is still credited as a dev in the latest releases, and John Knoll is considered a giant in the VFX realm and still works at ILM (where he used Photoshop pre-1.0 to do matte paintings on Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom - I didn't RTFA, so I don't know if they mentioned that).

Ok, then, explain Pataki.
Reference?

Oh, so there's a mac version of Autocad/Architectural Desktop/Revit now? No? Microstation? Solidworks? CATIA? Rhino? Alias Studio? 3ds max/VIZ? No?
There's ArchiCAD, Sketchup, and FormZ, and that's pretty much it.
Not that Mac-centric practices don't exist, but it's hardly THE platform.

More impactful, perhaps, was Jon Stewart's appearance as a guest on Crossfire, which led directly to its cancellation.
Does a theatrical release count for popularity? I bet it was even reviewed in some dead-tree publications, since there was no web in 1966.
Also, how about the bootleg Davey and Goliath overdub you probably saw if you went to college in the late 80's.
Or, not strictly overdubbing, but the Rocky Horror Picture Show audience script probably counts for something.

Not necessarily, if you use condoms and/or are monogamous/choosy.

Don't forget Sketchup Free.

Maybe it'll be legal in Singapore.

"News for Nerds on the stuff that matters" sounds like it came from the packaging of a very cheap thumbdrive.
You mean, like, the entire friggin' field of GIS?
Yeah, we need to return to the good old conservative days of Apollo under Kennedy and Johnson, not this namby-pamby liberal Bush.
If they format your original hard disk, it sort of screws the chain of custody. Forensic work is done on bitwise copies of the drive.

Actually, the rotary shutter on the projector has two cutouts, so the image flickers at 48 Hz, even though the image only changes every other flicker.
If you compare the geographic area of all the gulf states put together to the geographic area of Venezuela, what do you get?
