If this ray thing is designed to heat people up and make them leave I can think of a number of issues with it:
A) These people are being cooked, and if more than one beam is used I can easily see a fatality because the microwave passes through people. Imagine two beams and a person who just happens to be at the intercet of these beams =/
The people firing the beam surely don't realize that someone in the middle of the crowd is getting double the dosage of microwaves.
B) nearly anything available to the common citizen is readily available to reflect / absorb this beam back. The first thing that I can think of is the hood of a car.
I think it's quite obvious that Mr. Gates is receiving a knighthood because of his incredibly large donations to charitable foundations (including his own).
Microsoft bashing aside, it is very notable his contributions compared to other rich entrepreneurs out there.
I would like to ask generic questions about Cryptic's future releases plans.
Does cryptic have any future game plans other than CoH? As well, will they be strictly MMO's or single players as well?
I would really like to see a vote not for agree/disagree (on the NVP site) but rather, if you felt the answer is acceptable or not. If the answer get's too many negatives it gets thrown back and the canidate should have to answer it again, differently (ie less deviation from the original question).
I'm sorry but I dont understand how I am suppost to vote (moderate) a question that I like. Can someone please explain? Thank you. (ps i tried searching)
I want to know how they intend to prove this is ligitmate?
Not that I disbelieve, but the possibility exists and I would think that something which is done by professionals, that they would see the need to show evidence. (ie linking to a post on a kerry/bush offical site which says they are going to answer these questions)
Without it, international extortion would be impossible. If you made the banks liable no matter how far the chain went, that kind of extortion would stop, just like that.
Removing international banking is liking to throwing out the baby and the bathwater.
Anyways, banks are not responsible for customers freely sending out their own money. Secondly (most important), extortionists will ask for wires because wires have the unique feature which prevents them from being reveresed, period.
Most people think that a cashiers check is 'good as cash'. This is not true, the purchaser of a cashiers check can still reverse, or cancle it before it has been paid. They can even have the money reversed from the persons account after it has been paid! (example, if the payee name is misspelled and the issurer of the check claims that the wrong person recieved and cashed the check.)
Wires do not have this feature. When a wire is issued, it cannot absolutly never ever be reversed, mistakes included.
the text said "... that Japanese researchers, led by Daisuke Nakamura of Toyota Central R&D Laboratories Inc.,..."
but i read "...that Japanese researchers, led by Duke Nukem of Toyota Central R&D Laboratories Inc.,..."
nono if you look further in the article they state that the technology won't be ready for industry for another 6 years, while we all know that the next Duke Nukem isn't going to be released before the universe (implodes / expands to a heatless state, whichever you believe)
Most Video Games release a demo version or have beta testing group.
A way this could translate is to have some clients who run a beta version. You dont have to say its beta, but rather tell them that they are the first to try out this new software. Let them use it for free for a while and say that you are letting them use it for feedback on functionality and interface. Then while they tell you what they do and dont like about the software, they'll aslo bug you about the bugs that pop up in the program.
then...PROFIT!
