I believe money is the reason (isn't it most of the time?). There is plenty of money to be made from Mars and the moon in the future, may be with mining, or even turism, but it will certainly be made somehow. May not look feasible now, but it will be in a century or two.
I believe you are being too generous to the game. It is just a bunch of (5) minigames. Each minigame isn't even dependent on the previous one.
If it looks like Lamarkian evolution it was just a lucky shot.

That's because the majority of the iphone apps don't get "slashvertised"
Actually the universe according to ID is men centered. Men was created as the image of God. They may even find some excuses for some small simple life forms, but they wouldn't be able to explain why there is more advanced life forms in the universe than us. Good for then we still won't be effectively leaving this galaxy for the next centuries.:)
A lot more resources can be found at this usefull site, Since this specific software may be new but the concepts and software for face, facial expressions, gender or age recognition may be older than the first PC web cam.
The format also eliminated one of the crucial aspects of traditional poker called the tell, subtle clues such as facial ticks that may permit other players to make accurate guesses about the hidden cards held by their opponent.
Isn't this like facing world's best soccer player and the computer in a match of Fifa Soccer 2007?
I agree... Having a HD is like having an analogic camera in your cell phone. Is weird that I can't wait for the time computers won't need HD's while some people are still thinking in ways of pluging it in devices that don't need it.
You can see it all in ep 5. Obi Wan was Anakin's master. Yoda tells Luke about Anakin's being his father, and about Vader being the one who killed him. Later you see they were the same person. Eps I to III makes it much cleaner...
They realized that they can't stop piracy. They are aimming in the usual customer, that only knows how to copy using super user friendly software like Mediaplayer. Why bother to lock the door to keep you dog from going into the house?
If we can't have a base in the moon how can we expect to travel (someday) to other planets? It's as useless going to the moon as it was crossing the ocean back in 14XX (even if there will be no indians to rape or natural treasures to steal).
It will be cool when men finally get to the moon...:)
That almost hurts me. Even web interface development feels the urge of using threads (ie. javascript programming). Any program that is not as simple as a hello world is in need of threads. A programing language that doesn't support thread is not a good one. Stop using delphi... and try reading something about linux for a change:)
About only 5% to 10% of the value obtained from CD selling is returned to the singer/artist.
If you like the CD you will eventually buy it.
People should by the material... the box cover art... even the plastic of the CD. It's stupid to sell bytes and will forever be.
Also... piracy helps the artist gets bigger popularity and shows audiences. that pays for the piracy (some artists even recognize this fact)...
Big companies that make their fortune of exploring those artists works whould just go bankrupt... I indeed don't care about the "benefits" they have been making to the world.

>The only reason the Wii controller is accurate is that it constantly recalibrates itself from the bar under the display.
Actually no. It uses the bar to track its rotation on its Z axis. Without the bar it can only detect rotation on the Y an X axis. You can test it by connecting it to a pc(you will need bluetooth). http://www.custompc.co.uk/howtos/601059/control-your-pc-with-a-wiimote.html#

Or even better, does it taste like chicken?

Without it I can't load slashdot on my palm device as it keeps telling me the page is too big to be displayed.
Neo: Whoa, deja vu. Trinity: What did you just say? Neo: Nothing, I just had a little deja vu.
Slashdot is able to reproduce an article twice per week, that's close to a dupe in about 3 days, according to Nasa. http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/09/0 3/0154202

yes... there is a lot of stops I think this may be outdated already... but it illustrates well... :)

Have men already been to the moon?

That's true... third world people are stupid. Since they still live in forests and don't have shoes. http://archives.cnn.com/2002/EDUCATION/11/20/geogr aphy.quiz/
