Actually, a great place is across the river from KSC. Go to the Miracle Mall on US1 in Titsuville. Tons of parking there. Then just walk across US1 (at the Burger King on the river) and enjoy.
That is way higher than I expected. Even with the console Euro-flation seen by the Xbox 360 ($399 vs. $460), that means a $500+ PS3 here in the states.
Goodbye, PS3 marketshare.
What do y'all think? Is this price point as huge a blunder by Sony as it appears to be on the surface?
I absolutely agree, and I have somewhat small hands. The "big boy" xbox controllers rock! I have friends that have paid out the nose on them on Ebay because you can't buy them anymore. Also, the analog stick is freaking perfect, unlike the analog stick on the new S-controller. Though I would have to say, if they just hadn't put the huge dimple in the top of the analog stick on the S-controller, it wouldn't be so bad.
Xbox has the best controllers ever. After that, N-64. After that, PS1&2.
Absolutely right! You are always going to have a few psychos in whatever religion. But how does the community of faith react to these nutjobs? Islam has been worse than negligent. They have been practically complicent in their public silence and private assent.
I am so facking sick of my local (Orlando, FL, WMFE) public television station playing so much facking British programming. I can't hardly ever find a good documentary or news show! Nova, Frontline, and BBC documentaries are on maybe once a week each! But God forbid a day goes by without 4 facking hours of Gol-DAM British facking 3rd-rate "comedies" and "soap operas." I am so freaking angry.
That being said, Monty Python is definitely the peak of British humor. THAT being said, being the peak of British humor is not exactly grounds for bragging rights.
...that Atlantis is the best-built of the shuttles. I work on all three shuttles, and we all know that Atlantis was the best-built one. The rate of problem reports taken on Atlantis is almost half of Discovery or Endeavor. This is a shame, but these are smart people making tough decisions...you gotta do what you gotta do.
I work on the shuttle. We already take parts from shuttles that aren't currently flying (like Endeavor) as needed to kee Discovery launching. We part swap all the time. So this is just the same thing, but on a more official scale. Otherwise, we have to go on Ebay to find parts for things like non-flight computers (like in the launch control room). Stuff was made too long ago. Factories have since shut down.
Somehow this strikes me as seeming really true, even if just from my own experience.
I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that when I take a shower (and go into a more relaxed state), I am hit with great ideas and solutions for problems. This is a very strong, repeated experience for me. I sometimes think I should bathroom tile my work cube, but this "subconscious thinking" thing makes way more sense.
P.S. C'mon, no jokes about what one may do in the shower to be relaxed. I preemptively strike at you!
B$. They did what they "had" to do in order to make more $$$. They could have just made a moral stand instead of capitulating for $$$.
They can use as fancy words as they want, and can say how hard it was to {sniff} make such a tough decision, but the bottom lined is that they caved because of the bottom line.
If they want to impress me, they should use their fancy new superjetliner to drop pro-democracy and pro-free press leaflets all over China. Otherwise, they have totally lost my respect from a moral standpoint.
Please pardon my ignorance as well, but aren't large, beneficial,systematic changes in an organism astronomically less likely than small beneficial changes (which are already staggeringly improbable)? And these professors want to make this statistically improbable mechanism a keystone of how life evolved?
Punctuated equilibrium, or anything like it, is just wishful thinking until we can show a mechanism for massive, systematic DNA change that is more likely than randomness to help, not kill that organism before it reproduces.
Frankly, I don't think natural selection, quick or not, fits the fossil record. Not that a 6k yr old earth theory does, either...
"Duhhh-urrrrrh. I am just a consumer. I am too dumb to understand what the big shiny box does. Many pretty buttons, though!"
Above is the way many "experts" think of American consumers. They are actually some of the best informed, most sophisticated buyers in the world. But it's easier to be elitist than thoughtful.
Kudos to you, sir! You have hit this right on the head. I've read the two most populist books on this by Greene, as well as countless articles. At first I was very excited, but since about, say, 2002, I've been very pessimistic about the whole string theory thing. It does seem like a religion more than science.
"How big are the extra dimensions?" = "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin."
Except I believe in angels more than these extra dimensions. These guys should shave the crap growing out of their heads with Occam's razor.
Are you seriously saying that only an idiot would believe that there might be a creator that made things, rather than believing that they just happened by chance and natural selection? You've closed the debate in your head, and assumed that anyone not agreeing with you is a moron.
Isn't it awful when people are given all these new CHOICES to deal with? I, for one, hate that I have the ability to choose whether I want traditional or new things in my life. As an American, don't I have the right for someone to keep me from having the choice to experience new things?
I mean, Coca-cola and McDonald's! What kind of barbarian would subject an entire people to such horrors!?!?!
And I bet that Ronald McDonald isn't even an Orthodox!
"The cadmium atom that has lost an electron becomes a negatively charged ion, which can then be controlled with an electrical field," said Daniel Stick, a doctoral student in the University of Michigan's physics department who participated in the work.
Any 7th graders out there want to point out the wrong physics in that statement?

I work for the Shuttle program. The current plan is to send up a Hubble repair mission. Can't say when, but it's definitely planned.

they are expected to lay off 8,800 workers. Yikes.
According to the link below, Apple's marketshare has been cut in half just during Job's tenure! That means marketshare is now below 2.5%.

Only a very, very small percentage of the population "loves" Apple, and those people generate unbelievable amounts of smug.

Uhhh...somehow I don't think "Our website is bookmarked in every NAMBLA member's browser" is exactly going to be a PR coup.

What you're saying above is definitely true about a number of American consumers, but statistically, as a whole, they are very savvy.
Again, it's much easier to be elitist than thoughtful. If one looks down his nose at most people, all he will see is boogers.

Falsify or verify spontaneous generation. I can most certainly falsify it mathematically.
How is this comment NOT flamebait?
