It was a kinda severe headache, and that was only about 20 seconds. I have no plans on finding out what's going to happen to my head (or the rest of my body) after being exposed for a full-length movie.
Well, its history is derived from "I have an IBM-compatible PC", rather than "I have a Personal Computer" proper. IBM PC had a history of being used to describe PCs compatible with Windows.
New Jersey here, and there's more small shops than gigantic chains around, by far. There's probably 4 or 5 single shops for every chain, if not a higher ratio. All the small shops do the flipping, stretching and hand-forming. This is true pretty much anywhere in Jersey, whether we're talking about the cities, rural areas, the shore or the mountains.
You have a point, but consider - the UK and the USSR were both at the height of their power while the US existed (the USSR didn't even exist before the US, while the UK was at the height of its power in the early 1920's) , and they both fell out of that position while the US existed, both largely because of the influences of the US. They also both still exist in incarnations that are internationally strong.
You also assume that the Chinese government doesn't collapse before the relatively small weight of the US debt to China (curently about 800b, if memory serves) grows to proportions that crush the US economy. With current policy measures, the national debt is being pushed in a direction where it won't grow very quickly over the next 50 years. I don't think they will, but it's always possible.
The US doesn't even need to have someone else buy more debt. It's not like 56% GDP debt is a totally unmanageable figure, even without drastic measures like the ones instituted in Greece (look at Japan for proof that you can claw out of any debt situation if the country is determined). A relatively small changes, like letting the Bush tax cuts for > $250,000 earners, brings the US very, very close to a 0 deficit budget. All it takes is $600b (deficit numbers for the past 2 years are hugely inflated because of stimulus). It's predicted that the Bush cuts (if all are left to expire) would net 3.3 trillion over 10 years - that's half our real budget deficit, and the other half is being poured into wars against the stone age.
Just imagine what would happen to our deficit if SS and Medicare are reformed in a significant way. We'd have 0 debt within a decade
Oh, right, that's why every single country buys US debt. Literally every country on Earth is a sucker. It doesn't matter that we have the world's biggest economy, the most manufacturing, most R&D, the biggest, most advanced military, the largest entertainment sector, the fact that the US has a lower debt-to-GDP ratio than half the world (including many European countries), and the de facto language of worldwide trade is English.
None of that matters. The US debt is garbage, despite the US Treasury Bonds having the absolute safest debt rating in the world.
I didn't undermine my original reference, as I said "at least" 1800 years ago. Hence, it could be more. There's definite proof of 1800 years, which is far longer than the post I originally responded to wanted to believe.
Also, the methods for constructing the pyramids, the contents of the Library of Alexandria, and the all of the details of the first human settlement are all currently unknown, but definitively had meaningful interactions with humanity while they existed, and may in the future have more.
I'm also not talking about potential things that may or may not have happened. I'm talking about the things that did happen, that we don't know about. There's a very distinct difference between the two. Their existence is definite; all of history is not recorded exactly, to be played back on a gigantic hologram. There's a possibility that within that definite existence, a portion had been science fiction. If it existed then, it had a definitive impact on humanity, as there is nothing that has ever been observed by humanity that hasn't affected the species in some way, minor or major.
The way I'm seeing your logic play out: I get into a car crash on the way to work; you don't know about the crash. It doesn't exist.
None that survived. We don't really know what else was written that didn't last, beyond a small subset that we know of because they are mentioned in other works.
That also dismisses the very distinct possibility that there were oral works never transcribed, or whose transcriptions never survived. The general characteristics of science fiction don't require a long format to be expressed, despite longer formats lending themselves to the explanations usually associated with the genre.
I mean, we are talking about an era when there were a few working machines that resembled robots, operated by pulleys.
Wat they should really be doing is forcing the producers of the rulers to test their shit beforehand, regardless as to whether it goes into a science kit or a plastic bag filled with rulers to be used in a display jar at a bookstore.
Just remember, 3Gb/s converts to 375MB/s, so maxing it out really isn't too bad. The current Crucial RealSSD 300C tops out at 350 MB/s. That's an MLC drive; an SLC drive has the potential to be double that speed. By the time you get past the SATA overhead, you're definitely maxing out the bus with that drive on a SATA1 connection.
I have a pair of two-year-old cheapo SSDs in RAID0, and they're stuck at the limits of my SATA bus. I can easily imagine there being a single drive that will outpace the SATA bus.

I had a headache after watching the 3d TV in my local Best Buy for about 20 seconds.
I do admit, 3D has come FAR since the last time I saw it, but the headache thing sucks big time
Why are most scientists Catholic
What the fuck are you smoking?
Not really. You'd send out units from a secondary site relatively nearby (like a nearby military base), not from the main site.
Just wait until the server is still online, but nobody knows where the physical location is anymore. It'll be much fun trying to find them.
Although it transformed from the IBM trademark "PC" into a word of its own, through the wonders of language evolution.

Winning the space race is reaching a technological milestone that the other guy couldn't.
Think of it as making the first car, period. That's definitely a win.
Just pointing out, updates come on the disc of any sufficiently new game.

Just speculating, it may be that Nook, for some reason, is US-only, and was deleted because the app manager saw the UK SIM.

UK is easier to spell, anyway.

Every ISP has data caps in those areas. It's not an isolated thing.
Responding to a guy who doesn't understand sarcasm with a sarcastic comment is a great idea.

Sci-fi started as a genre at least 1800 years ago, with Lucian's True History.
Wat they should really be doing is forcing the producers of the rulers to test their shit beforehand, regardless as to whether it goes into a science kit or a plastic bag filled with rulers to be used in a display jar at a bookstore.
So, what's going to eat the mice other than the snakes?
They have the right, but not the ability. Damned lack of opposable thumbs!
I think he's talking about the imminent death of the human species.
