Back when i was a techie, i'd watch Screen Savers and use what i LEARNED the next day on the client's computer. Yes, i LEARNED from a TV show. Crazy, huh?
Anywho, television is a business model more than it is a medium. It's also obsolete. Each show should be it's own "network", allowed to thrive or die on its merits.
It's time to embrace the somewhat shorter abbreviation MRPG. Massive Role Playing Game. If it is massive, it is multi. If it is massive, it is online. The second M and the O are redundant.
Yeah, i dislike their notation as well. But it's part of the plan to make it deflationary. Your 1 BC will become worth more and more as more and more people use them and divide the pool.
i would have made a bit coin atomic. My own model for a virtual currency is atomic. Most transaction would take place at the K level. A soda might cost 500, written as #5(00). A 2 liter bottle might be 1000, written as 1#.
It's a player type. i can't get into god/sandbox games at all. Second Life, Sims, Sim City... *yawn*.
Minecraft would appeal to me if there was something competitive going on, or a story to advance. Let me build some cannons and blast the crap out of someone's castle. Give me some quests to complete or a hottie to try to seduce.
i loved Legos. i'd be up all night building during the summer. i'd cover the floor with bases and spaceships. i could tell you what the colors of their uniforms meant and quite a few of the characters had stories. Building transforming vehicles was the best.
It's all about what makes your neurons fire. Spending hours to build a blocky replica of Galactica does not do it for me. My brain has 0 interest in that. i will spend hours playing different alignment/race/class combinations in Neverwinter Nights, or inventing a language.
Inanimate objects don't prepare things. Furthermore, the verb tense is wrong. Someone is preparing it. The infinitive tense of 'prepares' would be something like "He prepares more donuts every day".
Meh. Most dictionaries are written by a useless class of people called descriptivists who slavishly record every (mis)use of a word. If you used Humperdink like this: "The morning was Humperdink", they'd create an entry for it, no matter how wrong or stupid it is. Going to a dictionary for proof of a word's meaning or validity is like citing Wikipedia as a source.
This is why the ignorant and lazy misuse words like decimate and literally. Stupid person uses it incorrectly... stupid listener repeats it... stupid dictionary writer codifies it... stupid person misuses word... smart person says "no, that's not what that word means"... stupid person says "but but but but the dictionary...".
Weightiest could be valid, i'm not arguing against that. Just be careful about citing dictionaries.
"Although Jupiter's gravity could pose a problem and Saturn's rings might get in the way (and forget Neptune, that place is one hell of a commute), perhaps the helium-3 in the Uranian atmosphere could be mined using atmospheric balloons?"
1) These aren't new, they've prolly been around for about as long as the coffee bean, which might make them older than us.
2) Re: Quote from summary - Someone found them. They didn't find themselves. The sentence should begin with who did the doing. We call this the subject of the sentence.

He died. Once, past tense.
Hamlet dies. Real people just die once (usually), not habitually or regularly.

Is this the golden age of shitty question headlines?
That'll be 50 pBC, sir.

No.
There's stuff you like and stuff you don't like in every era.

Why would a male who works with mac want to look at women? To be catty about her outfit that day?
About 5 billion ago. Quality is more important than quantity. If quality goes low enough the quantity will go away (die).
And don't believe this crap about abundant resources. We're already strained. We've passed several peaks already.
There is no such thing as the average anyone. This lousy phrasing is annoyingly common. It should be: the average age of gamers is 37.
It was an X Flick and a Cold War James Bond flick.
Loved the cast.
Subby,
Relax, it's a fucking movie.
Trivia: The CIA HQ shown in the movie didn't exist during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Wow. A level headed, rational response on the internet.
This is not a question:
"Although Jupiter's gravity could pose a problem and Saturn's rings might get in the way (and forget Neptune, that place is one hell of a commute), perhaps the helium-3 in the Uranian atmosphere could be mined using atmospheric balloons?"
Question marks mark questions.
Most life is sentient. It's how they find food, mates and avoid threats.
SAIC is a company. It is not the gov't.

i just hope question headlines are a passing fad.
i like seeing the URL. It provides useful info on the site. Make it optional or give it an autohide feature like the Windows taskbar.
Unless he's going to get in a boat, hoist the jolly roger and keel haul the captain of a ship carry copies of JoCo CDs, he not pirating.
Piracy is ship to ship armed robbery, kidnapping and murder.
What is the question asking?
The only award that traitor should get is the privilege of making little rocks out of big rocks for the rest of his life.
It's gonna be the future soon. Next up, end world hunger.
