Interesting idea, but there is a fatal flaw in that just about everyone, with very few exceptions, is guilty of something. Which means that if the police set their minds to it, they could convict anyone they wanted.
Unless, you know, they didn't commit a crime. I don't know about you but I don't exactly have a whole body of crimes lying behind me, waiting to get me convicted.
World War II military deaths: France: 217,600 U.S.: 416,800
I understand the irony of the Americans (my native country) cowardly waiting to join the war, relatively safe due to an ocean of distance, now calling the French cowards.
Fuck the ESA. The law was passed by the elected representatives of the people of California. Are we supposed to let a corporate lobby group now determine what can or can't be lawful in this country. I have more faith in letting the people decide.
You said this was designed to be cross-platform. Where's the mac version?
Designed to be cross-platform doesn't mean we offer a build on every platform, it just means the code itself works anywhere. We don't officially offer Phoenix for Mac, but some people have already begun experimenting with mac versions (see this page. We may consider officially releasing Phoenix for Mac in the future, but we want to focus on Windows and Linux for now.
Considering that Ford is almost 60 years old I'm not sure I want to see another one unless it's "Indiana Jones and the Retirement Home of Doom." I can't wait to see the thrilling wheelchair race to the cafeteria...the crack of the whip (or was that his hip?).
Can you explain to me exactly how a movie about a killer cyborg beamed back from the future to protect the to-be savior of humanity is supposed to help the public have a greater understanding of robotics and artificial intelligence? The first two Terminator movies I saw bore nothing even similar to reality.
If you're referring to movies educating people then I don't want to live in a world where such a thing happens. Remember how everyone was suddenly an expert on viruses after a string of crappy movies came out in the mid-'90s? Remember how everyone was screaming about how we needed to set up a terrestrial defense system after a couple of evencrappier movies came out a few years ago?
Such movies do nothing but foster a chicken little syndrome in the public at large. Hollywood has never relied on anything like historical accuracy or facts to get in the way of a story. If we expect people to be educated about or become aware of issues because of what they see in a movie then this world is indeed in a very sorry state.
I think the best we can expect to see out of this is the usual two-minute story on the local late-night news: "KILLER ROBOTS TAKING OVER THE WORLD! Can this happen here?" - followed by stock interviews with the guys from the MIT AI Lab.

Also, the police don't convict people.

Go suck a dick.

The Penguins are a miraculous species, capable of extreme heroism, self-sacrifice, sorrow and unshakable love.
They're also capable of extreme homosexuality.
I don't know but I hope it's better than the Everyone Loves Raymond game I bought. God that sucked!
The rest of that site is pretty cool as well. Check out his Doom 3 tribute site.
This is true. I'm a Linux developer and I never file an income tax return.
You mean the incident where the uncle corrected his spelling?
Because it will be really slow and clunky and not render any pages correctly.
And let's not forget Kraftwerk who used the Speak & Spell on their "Computer World" album which practically gave birth to the techno genre.
