a game in which the player plays a hitman, someone who kills for money. An ad for this game feature someone killed execution style, with the words 'beautifly executed'...nope not related at all.
Now, IANA laser expert so forgive if i am wrong...it seems to me that the energy required to "blow up" (breach the reactor?) a nuclear plant would be a whole fuckload more than that required to burn through the skin of a rocket.
How would this stop an attack wherein an enemy places a small nuke in several cargo containers and has them go to every city with a port on both coasts, hooked up with a gps system set to blow them as soon as they get in range?
No fancy airplane laser will help with this. They are still fighting the cold war. All sounds like an excuse to transfer money from US taxpayers to defense contractors.
I mean serriously, would any enemy worth his salt fire a big honking ICBM at the US? I mean, I could fit a single warhead from a soviet MIRV missile in a car and drive it into the middle of DC and detonate. And thats just me, thinking off the cuff, imagine what the chinesse are thinking up.
"Well, listen, if we take into account Blu-ray, HD, we see Blu-ray players at 1000 euros or more, [PS3] will be extremely cheap when compared to that. When we look at the gaming aspect, it is true that today consoles were generally well below 500 euros (roughly $614 U.S.), and I would say that we will be in this price range. It will be costly for a game console and extremely cheap when we look at the technologies it will integrate."
That is a direct quote from Georges Fornay, the president of Sony Computer France and the vice-president of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.
I'm sure this has been said 9.7 * 10^24 times, Copyright law now does nothing of the sort. Infact it could be argued that if anything current copyright law stifles innovation because there is no drive to innovate when your copyright will last your lifetime + 95 years.
thats called the free market. when a consumer feels that they will get more value for their dollar with an american product over a foriegn one, then they might buy it.
Dial...up? What is this, ah wait, I seem to remember in the dark times when one would have to use a modulator/demodulator to connect to the interweb. I thought such dark days were behind us, alas it seems some still suffer.
I'll admit that I bought DK64 just to get a MemPak so I could play Zelda:MM. I the promptly sold DK64 to get wetrix. And if someone owned a 64 and didn't have Starfox64 they fail.

correlation != causation
by keeping all my old computers. They all have a use, if for nothing more than a file server or router or something.
numbers are numbers, are we counting PSXs that were bought as replacements? or PSones?
the OP brought handhelds into it.
The original GameBoy has sold well over 100 million units
Gyromite and Stack-Up, only games to use R.O.B
what, no snarky flamebait in the summary? Thats why I come to /. for 3 day old news with editorializing in the article summaries.
No, thanks, starting a new country on this planet is quite impossible
That shit gets done all the time. Israel, iraq, the US, N/S Korea, N/S vietnam...etc.

I would be willing to have my tax dollars spend to get broadband to those areas. Infact take the chunk of my taxes that go towards "defense".

5 miles? You must have one hell of a microwave. And live in a very flat area, with no plant life.
I was forced to do nothing. I knew damn well what I was doing.
that wasn't me.
after a certain period of time, yes. But I don't like to wait.
