And if you can't synthesize it, you can manipulate the genes that produce the enzyme to produce it in greater qualities in other animals or even fruit. Hooray for science!
You bring up an interesting point. If we are able to create engines (however large the originals may be) that can burn coal (which is mostly carbon) then perhaps we can create a system built around the Calvin Cycle. If we could use solar energy to store fuel like a plant converts sugars into starch and back to live, then perhaps we could create a self-feeding car of some sort?
I'm not sure how the science would work, but it seems to me that it is at least possible.
To force him to abdicate his throne, name you as his successor, give you his woman, and then to dress up in frilly clothes and call him your gentleman-in-waiting, why else?
I could say the same thing about some women. The issue is that Men have two choices: condom or vasectomy. Women, on the other hand, have female condoms, diaphragms, the pill, the sponge, and shots.
Well, there was that leak at the Monju reactor, but that only caused structural damage and most of the controversy was from the varied committees trying to hide the extent of the damage.
If there were redundant safety systems in place in order to prevent another Monju (which was by all accounts a freak accident caused by intense vibrations) such as insulation to lower incidents of vibration...
No reactor is safe, but an IFR is still the most efficient design around, offering 90-99% fuel efficiency since it all goes to power generation.
True, but it's not just the fuselage that can be affected. The bolts, welds and other attaching things could weaken from repeated super-heating and cooling as well as the vibration.
Sure, the amount per re-entry would be minimal, but these things have been in service for nearly 30 years. Maybe age may play a factor.
Then again, I'm no metallurgist. I'm sure that NASA would've decommissioned these things if they were past their expiration dates, so to speak.
Call me uninformed, but it seems to me that these sorts of things have been quite common and are only receiving scrutiny since the Columbia disaster.
That leads me to ask whether or not foam or other debris has struck the shuttle before hand and caused little or negligable damage to the orbiter, and if the fact that these impacts are causing more and more damage is due to the age of the craft itself.
Perhaps, if it is related to the age, it is time to retire these current orbiters, sell them to some private investor/collector, and use the money from the sale to build a new generation of orbiter.
Because games aren't responsible for an Amish kid shooting up his school so they grab some obscure fact from some distant and completely unknown Nut-wing blogger someplace and fold it into the news cycle.
After a review of the facts and consulting my 18 years of experience playing games and watching styles of game making rise and fall, my answer is:
No.
It won't change the way games are made nowadays, but rather will add in a new avenue for people who have content they'd like to make into something, but don't have enough to create the 10-20+ hour game that some people expect.
Would Descent 2's ending have been so awful had it been part of an episodic series that only cost $5-10 a game?
Wow yeah, what a burden. Ads and corporate content, on the internet no less. *gasp* Is there no place sacred anymore?
And MySpace parallels, oh no. That means there'll be emo kids and people who can't spell joining with the LJ-Elite. What will we ever do?
To quote Ahhnold, "Stop whining!"
LiveJournal already has an option to put ads on your LJ, it's their Free+ Option that puts ads onto your journal and gives you more room and services (not as much as the paid accounts people but close) for your various thingies.
If this is news than its very late.
Well, there wasn't a lawsuit, but there was some controvery over "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" for the Atari where you play Leatherface and use a chainsaw with teeth the size of eyeballs to make randomly moving blobs of pixels meant to represent children flip over onto their heads and disappear.
Ah the good old days, when horrendously non-convincing, bloodless violence gained very little attention since Atari was a fad.
If this is anyone's fault, it's Thompson's for trying to use this tragedy to gain some more credibility. I think this grandstanding should earn him a firm talking to from the judge in this case if not more.
Ah yes, first it was The Novel, then it was Radio, then Movies, then Comics, then Television, then it was Lenny Bruce, and now it's video games. Anything that is new and exciting to the younger generation (AKA what wasn't around for the previous generation) is evil simply because it is new and untested. The game The Texas Chainsaw Massacre for the Atari, which had no blood and only showed death as children flipping upside-down before disappearing, caused a massive storm of controversy for all of two days before everyone started speculating about the end of the fad.
Thanks to Nintendo, the fad has now become a staple of entertainment and everyone's left wondering why. This confusion quickly leads to hatred and FUD which brings us up to date. And now you know the rest of the backstory....
This isn't evidence, this is conjecture. If someone was shot, and then the DA held up a picture of you holding a gun similar to the one used to shoot that person, would that be real proof that you did the shooting? No.
I hope the court does the right thing and disallows the use of these other 'songs,' which may or may not be actual.
Think about it, the one drawback to using sails is that you have to sail with the wind. If the wind dies, you just drift. This solar boat is going to suck because what if there's a catastrophic storm that blots out the sun for days? Overcast skies + Solar Panels = Mutiny on the Geocruiser.
Well, you can if you get sponsors who are genuinely interested in a show, or if you extend the time slot that it shows in from 1 hour or 1.5 hours.
Take a 55min show and stick in the requisite number of commercials, voila! A filled 1 and a half hours.
As far as I've understood it (listening to Eve Radio and dropping in with my character from time to time) the people "victimized" by this scheme were foolish enough to put their virtual money into this "bank." I severely doubt that these players would've played it so fast and loose had they been investing actual money.
I think these players should get a refund, but you can't punish the guy for exploiting the Barnum Effect. It's just a game for Christ's sake. If I could go a bit further, I'd say that it lends a bit of realism to the economy of the game world. You'd never see a scam like this in World of Warcraft, I can tell you that much.
I quote the US Constitution
Amendment 9: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
End of Line.
I mean classic:
Simon Belmont, a character with a real chain whip.
The Boy and his Blob, jellybean attacks.
The Moai Head from Gradius, Konami's object of obsession.
The protagonist from ActRaiser, he's a god!
Jason from Blaster Master, no rationale needed

Surely they can renew their copyrights for another 50 years. Wouldn't that solve everything?
Oh thank you sweet merciful God!

How about a little equality?

Easy solution: Build an IFR. That way, all the waste plutonium and other actinides can be reused without costly reprocessing.

Sounds more like they don't want to contradict themselves by saying that it is a possibility.

So a guaranteed matter of months vs. an 11% success rate for this chlorotoxin treatment to survive past three years. I'd take the treatment!
