Hee hee you sound like you're astroturfing, it furthers the policy of the New World Order to keep the pathetic FUD regarding China, terrorism, and so on going.
Not possible - if you modded him down then you would have been unable to post the comment, if you had posted the comment first, you would have been unable to moderate the parent. So please don't lie. Thank you.
Nobody whatsoever has noticed that this question is still unanswered - why does demand exceed supply so much? I'll tell you why - blue lasers are most useful in medicine - for which they have been used for decades, and expensive to manufacture. This is why they are so expensive.
Ignore what other idiotic posters said in reply to your comment, what is said is both true & insightful - all our technology is simply an extension of evolutionary processes - I wish I had those mod points I ignored now! and yes, we may end up in Utopia!! Yippee!
Since I'm using a nightly Mozilla build, "upgrading to Firefox" would kind of defeat my goals. Don't need to preach here, sonny. We're all converted. But thank you!
The project is basically a huge audio amplifier (seen in the movie) amplifying a signal modulated by an embedded computer. This signal is similar to that which drives your speakers, but instead it drives the motor(s) in such a way as to not damage them with acceleration and braking forces.
The expensive components in this amplifier are large bucket capacitors and rediculous huge transistors or valves.
The whole rig would cost roughly the same to build as a small radio transmitter, plus the cost of modding the car itself (connecting the motor(s) to the drive shaft) and building the computer and controller.
It would be great to see the following prices suggested by traders or users below:
10KW Transistors / 100MV Capacitors / 10KW Motors / Embedded controllers i.e. ARM7 / etc...
P.S. Thanks for asking the question, I was thinking EXACTLY the same myself. The cars currently available are beyond my financial reach, but the fuel isn't...
Sorry - but you're wrong! Nokia make the 9500, which has a native resolution of 640 x 200 - or the highest EGA res! Had to point this out...
ps Many classic games and emulators are available for the Symbian 7.0s OS the device runs on!
It seems from the general tone of comments that nobody has actually signed and looked at this site. First, an earlier poster was correct in saying that there are much fewer questions than 50; and your email is verified (no different from many other companies and sites).
I have signed up, the confirmation arrived within seconds and on the welcome is a message it may take several hours for a sysadmin to allow access - but no, I'm downloading PDF's straight away so it must be automated.
It's just marketing; but Theo is right about that not being completely free, as in free speech.
The article mentions "liberalisation", it seems that they're leaning to the left, but they're not actually left in their ideas and business model. Dump the driver.
I said "if we ever see it" not when. In fact, I even previewed then edited to avoid your response. Which is null and void, as you have been modded troll. But I think this (my) response is "flamebait" anyway, but I couldn't resist.
As usual, with groundbreaking theories and inventions, we will deny it's possibility even after (if) we see it's work. But sooner or later, it may be viable, and soon acceptance and common use will follow.
Do I need to give any examples? Telescopes, electricity and magnetism, etc etc...
I am sorry if I was misrepresenting Hot Coffee - it would appear that eventually after our little flame war, we stand in the same place. My original comment actually was more aimed at saying "I like Oblivion, maybe it should be adult, but I don't want the scandal that happened with GTA."
I appreciate your sensitivity regarding rape and wish to point out that I have seen lots of press articles referring to rape in Hot Coffe.
Therefore, no hard feelings and I retract my overly political statement..
Yes, this is a backpedal, your argument is fair and reasoned!
The issue is not whether I approve, you're correct about this, it's whether the game should be compared to Hot Coffee et al. Oblivion is emotionally deep, hence my description as "murder". Therefore it is an adult game, and anybody who disagrees after really playing it is underage anyway!
I have no problems with porn, adult content, and hardcore sex, which I download gratuitously. I have problems with rape (which I have experienced) and encouragement of vice. Your view is typical of the far-right, anybody who expresses the truth should be deliberately misrepresented.
Just to make it clear again, I like Oblivion, Hardcore, and eMule. I don't like rape and the encouragement or incitement to do so, and hope Oblivion is not associated with Hot Coffee and other last-minute changes. Clear enough for you ? RTF POST!
The game contains several obviously adult-themed quests - the killing of a "skooma" dealer ("skooma" refers to an in-game drug) and a quest where you murder (as the game is quite compelling and realistic, yes, murder is the word i choose) three women who entice married men out to a farmhouse amnd ask to strip, followed by robbing their possessions!
Also, blood is evident from the beginning, and the world is highly interactive with stealing for the sake of it (takable items having no monetary value or use - i.e. planters, most of the plates etc.
In other words, IMHO, this was obviously an adult game. I love the game, and I hope that this re-rating will not invoke the flame wars caused by the frankly immoral (not just adult, immoral) Hot Coffee Mod and in fact GTA in general.

No IE 6, anyway. The Mac has a primitive IE. It's even pre-installed.
but running an IT recycling company in the UK, you've just give a great idea! *g*
Read the Wikipedia article. It's mildly amusing because he won some guitar shredding award (8th place).

Citation needed. I just can't swallow this.
Thanks.
Yes, definitely - and this should be displayed on every key! lol
Broken - sorry dissappoint but my post below was being typed whilst you posted this likn, and I'm still frustrated by the article's lack of sources.
Could somebody please post this, if it exists?
I don't think this is a troll - it's funny and not at all confrontational - Mods fix it please!

There's hope for anything we aspire to; hence the tone of my comment. And if and may were used deliberately, to allow for my hopeless optimism.
