So we should use black backgrounds in the summer to save on AC but use white in the winter and gain a little extra heat. I suppose it would take awhile to add up to real savings but, as they say, "if everybody did it..."
Anyone working on this was likely to be your great-grandfather, not grandfather. New generations usually start every 20-30 years.
Hmmm... my father was born in the 1930's making my grandfather old enough to be working on this project (not that he did). And, may I add, "Git off me lawn you young whipper-snappers!"
Geesh... I may be alone here but I like a little surprise in my TV, movies, and games. I'm not knocking/. for posting info that's out on the interweb but why should we encourage spoiling in the article title or summary? Couldn't we have posted, "Final Simpson's game boss revealed," and let peeps click through if they wanted to know?
[...]much of our decision making is unconscious, and that in reality there is rarely such a thing as a free choice.
Wow! Where do you live? I gots me some rape'n an' pillag'n to do! Neurological disorders aside, even if you accept that "much of our decision making is unconscious" (which I don't), your brain still formed those thoughts. You did, and you're probably libel for it.
How is informing the world that person X is an undercover operative for your government (and that their "employer" is a CIA front, also outing each and every operative utilizing that front) not close to a textbook definition of "giving Aid to the Enemy"?
That is not even close to what Libby was accused or convicted of.
I find it difficult to believe anyone can predict anything in the computer industry five years out. Add to the equation trying to understand what a set of people (gamers) will accept? That all adds up to a wild, whack-ass guess in my book.
"The way to dry up the jobs for illegals is to fine and imprison the folks that hire illegals."
Don't think that's going to happen. When the laws are even hinted at being enforced, the folks that hire illegals can afford to throw money at the lobbies. It's cheaper to buy laws than to pay minimum wages to a vast workforce. It's all the economics and cost of doing business.
Now that only leaves the question of: If Starbuck is the 12th model Cylon, and she died and was resurrected to go, find Earth, and return with the news, how was her Viper resurrected as well?
eh? Not sure about that... 45 Min AVIs (BSG, Heroes, etc) clock in at 350 Meg and they look fine on my 42" HD TV. Most probably look better than SD. But there you have the true professionals... those that do it for the love of the craft. They capture off of a HiDef source and have their utilities tweeked out to the max. I don't know what Apple is doing but maybe they don't have their process down yet.
If I might give a possible scenario... some people have to travel light and/or small and when the PS2 came out it was the perfect multi-tasker for DVD and games. I know the dvd portable players are small and cheap these days but those wall warts add up.
The problem with a lot of implementations of vote kick/ban is it's too easy to be kicked by idiots. There have been a number of times when someone considers a minor offence a kicking offence. So one person votes to kick and, in the heat of battle, enough people just vote yes without knowing the reason. Now, if you can vote with your ears, the muted can still play, and you don't have to listen to them. And like another comment mentioned, it'd be really useful to see how many folks are muting who.
Whoa! Never saw that. I've played Guitar Hero and the keyboard version. While they're fun rhythm and "DDR for the fingers" type games there's not really any creativity involved. With that vid you can see actually playing something other than the available songs and making your own stuff up. Not that it'd replace a real guitar or even a good synth... just looks like it could be fun. I'd probably check it if it came out.

With charts and graphs? It must be true!
Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew
It's gonna be filmed with Muppets? Talk about chintsing on the budget!

Nooo!! Was Monkey Boy dancing around the stage again?

When will they learn that the war on drugs is a lost cause?
That is not even close to what Libby was accused or convicted of.

Hey... What happens in Risa, stays in Risa
It'll probably be the usual time difference with the added constraint of requiring Vista.
Wizards.
Naw... it's metric in'it? Something like 30 centi-taxcuts is an American foot stem cell or something.

That's a Mac, right?
Shows what I know... I thought the problem with TPM was Jar-Jar.
Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

Not really. In the first case the person is doing something wrong and in the second case they aren't.
Dude! You should have killed 65,340,285 boars in the forest to level up!
