On the other hand an infinite sequence can have a begining and an end. An ancient Greek philospher (too lazy to Google his name) used the example of a falling object. If an object can fall half a distance, then half of that, then half of that, ad infinitum, then how does it ever reach the ground? It should fall forever yet it doesn't.
The problem with that example is that it neglects the fact that the smaller the distance, the faster its passed. As distance approaches 0, so does the time it takes to pass it. So assuming there is an infinite number of seperate segments, each segment is passed at infinite speed. But I really don't see that as an infinite sequence anyway.
Try reading further in the story. Closer to the end, it states quite explictly, that new stars had been created by both artificial and natural processes.
Isn't that the way most awards work? A decent actress in the best movie of the year can get the Best Actress award over a great actress who's phenomenal performance couldn't save a stinker. If Extreme Paintbrawl had had an amazing soundtrack, do you think it would have gotten any awards? Not saying that Okami and Twilight Princess are bad games, but if GoW is more popular, it has the advantage in all categories.
And as soon as you view the data it disappears? I'm sure the *AAs and various three-letter-acronym government organizations will love this, but I wouldn't want to save my own data this way.
Relativity is concerned with the speed of light in a vacuum. Anytime light passes through a substance it is slowed down. It's not much different than walking past a cup of water.
As I understand it, light doesn't slow down when passing through a substance. It travels with it's usual velocity of c, but merely takes the scenic route to it's destination.
Seems about right. One of the best ways of getting kidnapped, rendered to another country, tortured, and (hopefully) released is to have lunch with a suspected terrorist.
I can see how lots of people would quite after not being able to beat the end boss. Especially since there's not enough ammo in the final area to kill him if you're carrying the final weapons (you can only carry one cannon type, one rocket launcher type and one energy type at a time). I was only able to finish the game after reloading the previous saved game and swapping weapons for ones which have a better damage/ammo ration.
Your 4 year old's company didn't publish the game on its flagship console. We all forgive your son for not knowing the difference.
Gates is a completely different matter.
What difference? Microsoft probably published the game with little girls as the target demographic. What's wrong with that? Say a company makes dog food which cats turn out to actually like. Should the company spokeman be flamed for saying that the dog biscuits are targetted at dogs?
But are you entitled to make the patient wait 45 minutes in the waiting room, see them for 5 minutes, and then charge $150 for the visit? Because that's what plenty of physicians/specialists are doing.
1. Use masking tape (generic) to fit The One True Wheel(tm) to your axle (proprietary) 2. Use a knife (kitchen) and some cement (Home Depot) to give The One True Tire(tm) the correct grooves for the road condition. 3. Profit!
And now it seems I was the one who misread the post i'm responding to (corbettw's). Ah well, it's Friday, my brain is too full of thoughts of weekend to work.
One billion Catholics disagree with your premise that you must be pro-death penalty if you're anti-abortion.
That's not my premise at all. In fact, the post I was responding to claimed that "anti-abortion" is an incorrect label, and "pro-life" does a better job of describing those who are against abortion. I was merely pointing out that if you talk "pro-life" without the context of "abortion", you'd have to take the death penalty into account. See, now don't you feel silly?
So, to reiterate, I never said that pro-death penalty has any conflicts with anti-abortion. On the other hand, I'd argue that anyone pro-death penality cannot be pro-Jesus (as I assume one billion Catholics are.) But that's a completely different issue alltogether.
This begs the question, who would sign such a contract? I've only worked in two companies since college, but both had a "you can leave without prior notice, and you can be fired without prior notice" clause in the employee contract. That seems the best way to do it.

And let's try to remember how many pieces of science-fiction have turned to be quite close to science-fact.

Ah come on, all you need is metatime. And then metametatime. And then ....

So, which colors represent superpowers?

You have to have regular periods of rest after exercising to see any improvements ;)
Adjusting the game settings won't do squat if your monitor is shot.
Yeah, well, I always round to the nearest 1000% percent.

Exactly. I'm an adult male, and I enjoy anime and manga that's targetted towards boys and girls. What's the big deal?
Great, then can I use a Win32 Unix Emulator on XP to run Wine to run DX10 games?

No, not quite.

In that case you should agree that "anti-abortion" is a more accurate term than "pro-life", right?
It pays to keep ammunition for those times. It might just literally save your life. Um, you might want to word this a bit differently....
Neither group really cares about abortion, their beliefs just cause them to disagree on it.
Um, if pro-lifers were really merely "pro-life", why would most of them support the death penalty?
