Nintendo announced the MAXIMUM price, not the actual price. 25,000 yen or less, US$250 or less, and "UK pricing will be in line with Japanese and US prices announced."
I'm definitely not a MS fan, but Moore definitely knows how to sell the 360: appear like an affable everyman and make the system appear accessable to all of the other everymen. Talking about playing games with his son and how he wants a Wii is the right move; no "The PS3 is actually really cheap" here.
Darwin stated that the mutations were RANDOM and that those that led to better survivors would out live those without.
Bzzt.
Darwin didn't know about mutations, and he certainly didn't say that they were random. He thought that traits of the parents (however they existed) were blended in the offspring. Natural selection and genetics weren't "reconciled" until the 1900s.
Someone who is actually creating their own content would be satisfied with a hyperlink...for them to be pasting huge chunks of material, suggests to me that they have a simple (and intellectually dishonest) profit motive.
What if the person who's doing the C&P has no advertising on their blog? Is there still a profit motive?
Of course, given that people keep on adding SSBB and SMG to the list, I can't vouch for its accuracy at any given moment, but I'm doing my best to keep it to confirmed titles.
Hate to break it to you, but this wasn't a unique animal. If scientists want to study a polar/grizzly cross, all they need to do is go to a zoo that already has one.
As others have pointed out, conservation biology says that this cross is a bad thing, meaning it has very low value and should not be protected. See controversy over the conservation of various big cats through cross-breeding for more info.
SSB doesn't really need much more than an analog stick and two button
Analog stick for movement.
C stick for alternate smash move and camera movement.
A for attack.
B for special attack.
X/Y for jump.
Z for grab.
L/R for shield and air dodge.
Read the actual news and you'll see that the PS3 will also have GTA4. Microsoft was able to get exclusive downloadable content, not exclusive rights to the game.
Roma Victor is a one-time charge with the option of paying for gold. BOTS and Space Cowboy Online are free, but with micropayments that aren't described in the article.
I'm female, and I play MMOs for the MM part. I also prefer PvE to PvP, as I prefer challenges where I go up against something hard with my friends, rather than listen to guys swear at each other during PvP. Ditto for non-online gaming; I vastly prefer co-op to head-to-head gaming.
Ah, the good old days of arcade cabinets. X-Men, how I miss thee.
I was able to suspend my disbelief for Spiderman because it didn't go into too much detail.
To a biologist, it gave far too much ridiculous detail to be anywhere near plausible. The scientists who engineered the spider should have been given the Nobel Prize for creating a safe, effective, 100% penetrating technique of gene therapy.
I suspect it's the effect where a mod says "Hey, I'd like to make this seen by more people, but giving 'Funny' doesn't add to the other person's karma. I'll add 'Insightful' instead."
Of course, then people like me will metamod it "Unfair" in an effort to correct it.
"Given that, I'm loathe to accept some conjecture about some other animal that supposedly lived and hunted in packs based on the spurious evidence of a group of bones comprising many species members and none of which comprise more than 80% of a single animal."
Actually, 80% recovery of an organism is nothing to sneeze at. (And where did you pull that number from? I haven't seen it anywhere and I just scanned through the paper.) Consider how many species are known only through teeth, skull fragments, and the end of a femur or other long bones.
Fragments and intact bones of Mapusaurus roseae include:
Skull
Mandible
Teeth
Vertebrae
Ribs
Pectoral and pelvic girdles
Limbs (fore and hind)
Phlanges
So what, exactly, do you want them to find before they start theorizing how M. roseae lived?
Its easy enough to give the basics (DNA makes RNA makes Protein(1)) its that biology is wall to wall special cases. Biological systems run the worst spagettee code you can imagine written in a language thats barely documented(2), written by a developer who is willing to hack the executable, the source code, the compiler, the operating system and in extreme cases the hardware to get a functional system.
(1) except RNA can 'make' DNA, RNA can act like a protein (enzyme)
(2) Using language only comprehensible if you know the subject already
You get cookies from me. It's especially true when scientists do field work, since the emphasis is to take as much data as possible.
Real World Example: This past summer, I went to Cyprus for a field survey (surface examination and collection, no digging involved). In three weeks of 15 people working 4 hours a day, we grabbed over 10,000 pieces of worked stone. A proper excavation will yield enough data for an academic lifetime, but only a small percentage will ever be thoroughly analyzed and published.
If you RTFA, you'd see that some of them are verified through voice chats. Also, it's the clubs/houses/pimps who take in the real cash; the girls make less than the US minimum wage.
People don't want to read the ruling and supporting document? Wimps. I read both of them the day they came out.
In all seriousness, people don't know what they're missing. I found it to be an amazingly logical and well-written statement. It also has some fantastic bits of snark made at the school board's expense. The passage with the phrase "breathtaking inanity" is one of my favorites.
What is the alternative of a loved one to prayer? Nothing, nadda, zilch. Prayer may help, it may not. But if it's a choice between possibly useless prayer and definetly useless worrying, prayer makes more sense. (Pascals wager) If nothing else it makes you feel better.
Bingo. Many people pray because it makes them feel better because they've gone through the motions of helping the other person (even if it doesn't).
One of the worst things I've found about being an athiest is watching people die. It's a horrid feeling to know that a situation is out of my hands and that nothing I can do will create a different outcome.

Strike that, you missed shield, not grab.
You also forgot grab, which was even more key in the original.
Analog stick for movement.
C stick for alternate smash move and camera movement.
A for attack.
B for special attack.
X/Y for jump.
Z for grab.
L/R for shield and air dodge.
True, but you didn't mention it under your PS3 column ("Nothing is here), which makes me think that you saw Zonk's original update.
Read the actual news and you'll see that the PS3 will also have GTA4. Microsoft was able to get exclusive downloadable content, not exclusive rights to the game.

And as someone with a degree in biology, I would say that drawing skills are far from important.
Context makes a huge difference.
Oh, if only I had mod points right now...
(Hello fellow Bostonian.)
I'd like to know where you're pulling the $99 and $149 figures from. Last I heard, it was expected to be between $200 and $250.
Nintendo does themselves a disservice if their price makes the Revolution look like a "disposable" console, and it will at a price that low.
Bingo. Many people pray because it makes them feel better because they've gone through the motions of helping the other person (even if it doesn't).
