And after respawning you'll have to wade through the horde of "TheLustyArgonianMaid696969" knockoffs all dancing naked on the mailboxes in the starting city.
Trigger set to a stream of Speed over netflix. "Pop quiz BART. There's a bomb on your subway. If I don't get to watch my movie it goes off. What are you gonna do?"
Well, you ignore PC gaming with your comment so I assume you're only considering consoles, due to them having static configurations that ease some of the development burdens. So your view is that devs are being held back because the set hardware they develop for isn't changing to keep up with the times fast enough?
Yeah, you're right, probably should make it so consoles are easier to upgrade. Maybe standardized connectors on the main board so you just plug in a processor, ram, non-volatile storage, media reader, graphics processor, sound processor, input devices, and networking? And of course you should have the system software easily upgradable to take better advantage of advances in software technologies and driver bugfixes. Current controllers are quite limiting too, they should definitely offer a 103-button controller for text input, and a separate motion sensing controller with a couple buttons of it's own (use an optical beam and sensor on the bottom of it to read the motion of the surface it rests on, that would fix the current motion controller issues).
Not going to make any assumptions here. Do you realize your stance is better translated as "Women cease to be humans and become valuable babymaking property the instant sperm touches their uterus."
Screw it, deleted the rest of this. Go troll someone else.
How many of those were actual choices made by healthy women with reasonably viable pregnancies they got themselves into, and how many were medical treatments to save the woman's life/health? Or unwanted pregnancies forced on them by men who wouldn't take No from a "stupid little chick who should just shutup and take it" (or even worse, "I'm the man of the house, I raised her, she obeys me!")? And how many are from fertilized eggs that never implanted because of morning afters? Or just the pill in general?
And to get a goodwin in here, compare how many jewish people were lost in 5 years because the germans decided the jewish religion was inferior to their's?
I recall a slashdot story years about about using a virus found in pond scum to attack tumors. The idea was normal cells have dealt with this virus many times over, but the cancer cells forget what to do with it. They had a before and after picture of a golfball sized tumor on the back of someone's neck that was almost completely gone after one injection of this stuff.
Always wondered what happened to that research, I figured some big drug company silenced it.
You neglect to take into account the amount of progress that has been lost because of religious people acting upon the words of their leaders (I won't say faith, because frankly organized religion is all about power for the clergy). Not to mention the number of children killed by religious fanatics every year. Any number or them could have become great scientists, but we can never know.
They're having problems with the australian correction algorithm. It's actually quite hard to rotate the video stream 180 degrees in real time so they can view it down there.
But when their beancounters divide their revenue target by their average damage award to find out how many lawsuits they want to file in a year, it'll be dividing by zero! That will create a localized singularity that'll wipe their offices off the face of....
I don't treat stop signs as suggestions thankyouverymuch. Or use the highway shoulder as a passing lane. Or run both lanes of traffic off the road by passing the guy going the speed limit on an uphill turn no-pass zone with obvious oncoming traffic. Or run through red lights because "It was totally green when I looked a block ago!" Or refuse to change lanes when the guy infront of me is very gradually slowing down to make a turn, instead waiting till the last foot then slamming on my brakes. Even though we're on a 45mph 5 lane, there are no other cars for a mile in either direction, and the next turn I could possibly take in 2 miles ahead.
Or do multiple of the above plus speeding by 20 miles an hour just to slam on my brakes a quarter mile later so I can make the turn off to the casino and get there "first". Even though it's a 24hr casino at the edge of town with more slot machines than there are people in a 5 mile radius...
No, the app couldn't. Notice the part where I said "I helped..."? I wasn't from the area either, I was in town because my wife had a conference so I was killing time at the park with our daughter. The lady approached me thinking I was a local, so I scrolled around in google maps and found an E Jefferson across the river. Her iphone and my droid both told us, when we put the address into our mapping apps, that 610 E Jefferson was on the 500 block of Jefferson (the last bit of the street before the river) while the real address was next to the hospital.
To her it made perfect sense that 610 E Jefferson was on the 500 block of Jefferson because her smartphone told her so, she never knew there was actual rhyme or reason to street numbering and it never occurred to her that her app may not have the right directions. I drove pizzas around for two years, my "old faulty tech of the brain" beat out the best google and apple offer in 30 seconds because I can pattern recognize instead of just look shit up in a database. A database, I might add, that was created by the lowest bidder "old faulty tech of the brain."
I believe everyone should experience being a pizza (or related) delivery driver for 3 months, without assistance from GPS. Just learning how to read a map and knowing how addresses are numbered are extremely useful skills to have. A couple weekends ago I helped a lady who was following her smartphone's driving directions and ending up at a park when she needed an office building. Turns out her app couldn't tell the difference between 610 Jefferson St and 610 E Jefferson St. Relying on that app made her an hour and a half late for an interview.
My 4 year old daughter can navigate around youtube pretty easily, finding all the kitten and my little pony videos she could want. She's also smart enough to know which videos are bad and to stay away from them. Same goes for netflix. My 4 year old nephew can play solitaire with only a little help from grandpa. He also knows his way around several kids sites like pbs kids.
It surprised me when my little one first used my computer, I have a trackball and it didn't faze her one bit.
Well, a DNA scanner you just swipe over someone's arm will be nice, but requiring a PS/2 connector will kill it for laptops and the bandwidth of it emulating a keyboard typing out the GATC sequence will be atrocious...
Seriously? We already do utilize the water that falls from the sky, you know those river things that run into the ocean and most communities were built around?
Water is finite, even that magic skywater. Upstream communities cannot take all the water they want, as downstream communities rely on the same water source. Desalinization technologies not only allow coastal communities to grow where there isn't a major river, but also frees up water for greater upstream use.

I'd consider that a sport if I was allowed to have away games with other players.

Taxes were never raised to pay for it, so it must be 100% free!
Right?
Better than a political fact.
Nah, Evil Council.
Hopefully we can find the Chosen One and Toungy in time.
Half of LA drives to vegas every friday. Of course there's going to be some contamination.

I used to have a calculator watch that stored phone numbers, long before I had a cell phone.
Close, it's the buggy whip manufacturers. Part of their plan to destabilize the world and send us back 200 years technology wise.
