On the other hand, copy/paste does wonders.

Technically "Slashdot" should start with a capital letter since it is a proper noun.

There's also the option that the diminished mass would result in a moon-half or two plummeting to earth under Earth's gravitational pull. Water or no, that'd make the experiments pretty moot.
Actually I think the "moon-half" would more likely enter an elliptical orbit or fly off completely than actually hit the Earth full on. IANAP but my guess is that the Earth would be providing less centripetal force (due to the decreased mass of the "moon-half"). This would cause the object to maintain most of its momentum and leave orbit. If the moon were to somehow double in mass, there would be much more centripetal force, causing the moon to be pulled closer to the Earth and reducing its rotational period to an inverse proportion of the increased mass.
That's how it should be, in my opinion (for coding at least). There is no reason to have a huge enter key unless you think you are going to miss it somehow.
On another note, why is there often a cavity between A and Caps Lock (and I never bump that key on keyboards without it), but there's not one between apostrophe and enter? It's waayyyy more common to hit enter in the middle of a contraction and have to finish it on the next line (in chat).
...while gaming has gone more mainstream it isn't like the movies, developers still complain about piracy on the PC when their games sell into the millions on console and PC (Call of Duty 4 dev's, I'm looking at you). Many games are totally viable if game developers would stop trying to be the movie industry, somewhere along the line companies started seeing themselves as movie-esque.
Please don't confuse "developer" with "publisher". Although I'm sure the developers (designers/programmers/artists/etc.) don't want their work to be ripped off, I'm pretty sure that none of them (apart from money-hungry CEOs who think they can code) like the principle of DRM and other forms of anti-piracy methods, which only harm the customer.
Publishers such as Ubisoft and EA (who can both die in a fire kthx) are only interested in sales and don't care about the inconvenience to consumers.
I think Prince of persia is one of the only games that doesn't try to take the whole movie thing to far and be a game first. The original Prince of persia: Sands of time was one of my favorite games, I thought Warrior within was ok but I didn't overall like the second and third games as much as the first.
I agree. Although, I must say that I actually enjoyed Assassin's Creed and the new Prince of Persia. I played them both on PC with a 360 controller, and I gotta say, they're two of the best ports I've seen in a long time.
Regarding my hatred for Ubisoft/EA: Ubisoft/Kuju discontinued all support for Dark Messiah multiplayer and never released the SDK like they said they would. The only real "patch" they had was to add some CTF maps. They left in all the bugs and exploits and class imbalances. EA made Origin rush Ultima 9 out the door early, which meant it was riddled with bugs (some of them plot-stopping). They released a few patches that made things worse, then discontinued support. The last patch that came out was a "rogue" patch from one of the developers. EA promptly disbanded Origin.
I mean think of mario the game as a concept, imagine you tried to sell it today: It's a game about a plumber that runs around stomping on turtle-beings called koopa's and these things called goomba's, and there's this dragon-turtle esque thing we call koopa who's invades the mushroom kingdom.
Throw in some tentacles and you could pass that off as Japanese porn.:)
...and yet Jamster et. al get away with their scams because the "SMS STOP" etc. is in 4pt font at the bottom of your screen and is only visible for about 2 seconds.
Some of the recent adverts I've seen they actually "say" it now. "3 year subscription service, $10 per week". Yes I'm serious, they rip you off ~$1500 if you're stupid enough to fall for it (or even use those services), in which case you shouldn't even have a mobile phone.:)
Well good thing for you guys Degrees of arc (as it applies to the sky) is a universal measurement and requires no pesky conversion between metric and standard.
Since when was non-metric called "standard"?

You're not going to accomplish much with a select and insert. As long as you know all the CRUD syntaxes (Create, Read, Update, Delete) you can use an existing database, and although I'd hardly call it "in a nutshell", it's the first thing anyone dabbling with SQL should know before they start reading a few chapters into "a detailed book" and get to creating and modifying schemas.
I can just imagine playing Left 4 Dead with this system. No more right click, but your arms sure would get sore.
Getting thrown on the ground every time some retard shoots you in the back in expert mode would suck somewhat too.
Except he went to an "art-oriented institution" to get laid. Yelling "No." at all the pretty girls won't further that goal.
What he really wants but is to embarrassed to ask to a way to make the laptop hypnotize females when he lets them use it.

The trash hauler has said SAP used "rigged and manipulated" demonstrations during sales presentations.
Reminds me somewhat of the E3 demo of Half-Life 2, and Valve's claim of "these are not scripted sequences."
For people who don't remember, there's a point in the demo where the player walks into a room and shuts (and barricades) a door. The combine guy on the outside kicks the door open. I personally played that demo when it was leaked, and I stood outside of the "unscripted room" and watched the door magically explode inward with no-one there to kick it, as the combine just stood there and stared at me.
After this and his other comment, I have decided to not buy anything Sony from now on.
I made that decision a long time ago when Sony shut down Lik-Sang. I've stuck to it so far.
I have a PS2 because I got it secondhand (Sony got no money from me), put in a modchip (suck it, Sony), and the only PS2 game I play is IIDX, which would be too much effort to import anyway, so I just downloaded it.
I wouldn't buy a PS3 if it were $1, and if you gave me one, I'd sell it.
...and then to deal with the fact that a lot of games (Like WoW) don't like to run two different sessions at once...
WoW allows multiple instances quite fine if you have separate install directories. How do you think people "multibox"?
I think what you mean is that you can't log in using the same account more than once. That doesn't stop you buying more accounts.
This would cause a resonance-cascade incident that could result in fires, floods, a breakdown of world society and possibly also cause supermarkets to run out of most forms of effective cleaning products.
And possibly the opening of an interdimensional portal to a world of sonic-weapon-wielding dogs and huge open-brain creatures.

Unfortunately, the concept of meteors potentially striking the Earth has been joint-copyrighted by Touchstone and Paramount on previous occasions.

They just need to get someone to start a project called OpenViagra.
Either that or start reading spam emails.
