Neither RIAA or a debt collection agency would be able to start such an investigation. They could request one from a proper agency, but as they are not law enforcement of any sort that kinda leaves them in the cold.
A meteor strike that could destroy all life on earth really wouldn't bother(other than economically) a self sufficient colony on mars. That is one example, I am sure many people can come up with others.
Tivo hasn't needed a phone line in a while, just add a USB network adaptor and plug into your home network (assuming you have some flavor of broadband) and it gets its updates off the net and some cool features become available.
Nope, a PC with equivilent hardware is still a PC. The video card might have an nVidia chip in it, but it could be from one of many manufacturers. So could the motherboard, HDD, sound card, etc. The drivers and firmware would be different, as would the operating environment.
On the console, the hardware is consistant and known to the programmers. They can optimize the code of the game to take full advantage of this. Try that with a PC game and it might work great on some computers, but would probably not run at all on most others.
That would be nice if it were true. Tivo only allows transfer from Tivo to another, both Tivo units must be on the same account also. So if you have a great hack for this, I would love to see it.
I would say it was you had has 'no fucking idea'. Japan's attempts at peace were bullshit attempts to stop the war they started while keeping what gains they could get. As for being ready for surrender, you might want to look into the attempted coup by the military and what the civilian populace was being told to do when we invaded.
You realize that Japan was NOT going to surrender and was expecting its people to die to the last defending the homeland. That not only would an unbelievable amount of American died invading Japan, so would countless Japanese (innocent, ordinary citizens, not military targets included). The two bombs dropped on Japanese cities were enough to make the Emperor realize that surrender was the only was to survive as a people. So dropping the bombs might not have been the nicest thing to do, it did prevent a possibly horrific invasion that would have cost millions of lives on both sides.
BTW, calling Japan at that time peaceful is quite incorrect. Look at they did to expand their empire, Nanking (not sure of spelling) is a prime example of their peaceful intent.
Funny, I don't remember anyone nuking any peacful (sp.) nations. Just what peaceful nation got nuked? The only places I can recall having nuclear bombs being detonated are Russian, Indian, Pakastani, and US testing grounds, Small Islands in the Pacific (more testing) and finally Japan also received two during a war they initiated with us. Did I miss someone there?

Hey, I just use ROT26 and so far no one has cracked my code... of course it might help to be intelligible in my writings.
In response to the shuttle replacement design, the DOD is announcing retirement all of its jets and replacement with biplanes.

As a fool stuck in California for the last 20 years I can say I have never seen a toll road, toll bridges yes, toll roads no.
I definatly agree tolls would be better, that way we could not only double tax CA citizens, but out of state people also!

I think they are right after those damn Canadians.

Actually the Boxed Collectors Edition (on DVD) does include the HL-Source. Haven't replayed HL since I have only just finished HL2.
Oh great, now I can see Goth bees. All dressed in black with black highlights...
