I think you might need to set your drivers up properly or something, I used to run SNES games on an old Pentium 133 that we dialed into AOL with, using a 28.8k modem. If your Athlon 64 can't do it properly the software is the problem, not the hardware.
I've seen officially licensed handhelds that come with a bunch (30 or 40) of Mega Drive games built in for about 40€ IIRC. I don't know what you paid for the PSP but unless you can find a very good deal on a hackable one the MD handheld might be the better option for many people.
I believe relic worship isn't practiced in any protestant belief, that's a catholic thing. Protestants don't have saints and don't pray to relics, a big part of the reformation was ditching all the "extended universe" canon stuff and going back to what's in the original book.
Besides, he's in charge of a religion spanning the whole damn world, there's more things he has to care about and I'm not sure a showy ritual for a guy who's been dead for 500 years and hasn't been sainted is something that comes to mind often. Copernicus isn't the only victim of church injustice.
This is the catholic church we're talking about, they've much more progressive than the American sects that oppose science (hence the acceptance of evolution in Europe, there are no debates about what should be taught in schools here).
I'm aware that the catholic church is extremely conservative but compared to the madness of the American fundamentalists that make the news they're moderates.
Take Europe for instance, the more left they run, the less productive the seem to be. By productive, I mean in areas like innovation and such. They socialized medical care and have largely been playing catchup in innovation and technology ever since.
I think that has more to do with being ravaged by two world wars. Germany used to be a world leader in science before that nutjob Hitler came around and made everybody run away. For reference, Germany socialized medicine and retirement in the 19th century under Bismarck.
The Hitler Youth existed to control the free time of the youth to provide around-the-clock indoctrination, the education was already changed by the propaganda ministry.
Used to be #1 before the banking crash and recession, the US isn't the only country hit by that. China was impacted as well but not as much.
Assembly line work as manual labor is being phased out because of better robotics, instead of a bunch of low skill workers doing stuff by hand you need a few high skill workers to build and maintain the machines. If you look at unemployment in the West most of the unemployed have little or no training and would need a manual labor job while at the same time jobs that require high qualifications remain unstaffed because there aren't many people who can do them.
But you can at least bleed BP dry and hope that it makes other oil companies secure their facilities more. I get the feeling that BP is going to come out of this whole mess without significant damage so they'd have no reason to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Shouldn't we have our kids reading using dumb terminals online, where the individual school district can customize what they see as important to their kids' education?
Too expensive. Outfitting all classes with a sufficient number of terminals would cost a lot and education is a popular cost cutting area. Before you think about terminals shouldn't you think about getting enough competent teachers?
Meh, here in Germany we have mandatory school time for that exact reason and when someone decided to keep their kid at home for religious indoctrination the US accepted them as political refugees (obviously mandatory school time also means punishment for failing to observe that law, probably counts as child abuse) so I don't see the US ever forcing standards to make sure kids are employable since it seems they treat keeping your kid ignorant as a right.
Then any jet engines located inside the data center will suffer damage. I don't believe jet engines are a common server component but I'm not in the business.
Really? I know that when I order from the UK to Germany I pay UK taxes on it, is that different for the "extended" EU? Buying from outside the EU makes customs charge taxes on the good.

iPhone - Tied into an expensive contract
iPod Touch - Same thing without the contract and cheaper (and fits in regular sized pockets too! Convenient for listening to audio files on the go).
I guess $300 is an ok price to play every console game before the playstation
Does it actually come with the games or do we have to pirate them to get anything we actually want to play on the system?

Yeah, heaven is filled with beer and wine for everyone to enjoy.

A more accurate version for the modern times would add "void where prohibited".

The thunderbolt might count since it runs on energy cells but yeah, Q1's weapon selection was pretty weak.
The idea isn't patented, the implementation is.
The Wall was fairly effective at keeping GDR citizens inside, many more would have fled had it not been in place.
Really? I know that when I order from the UK to Germany I pay UK taxes on it, is that different for the "extended" EU? Buying from outside the EU makes customs charge taxes on the good.
How do you know they aren't already paying taxes on that income? The IRS wouldn't complain then.
As stupid as the courts are in Europe, it honestly makes me wonder why American companies even bother to do business with Europe.
About 500 million citizens with sufficient means to consume high-tech goods. Any other questions?
if you're broadcasting ANYTHING, even if it is just random numbers, people are FREE to collect that information.
No they're not, the law doesn't say "if it's easy to do it's legal".
Germany doesn't use common law, maybe some previous customs were codified but it at least had to be looked at to go into the new civil law.
Some health insurances give discounts for getting regular checkups but they're far from kicking you out for inadequacies (maybe the private ones do).
