"Once AOL had you in its clutches, escaping was notoriously difficult. Several states sued the service, claiming that it continued to bill customers after they had requested cancellation of their subscriptions. In August 2005, AOL paid a $1.25 million fine to the state of New York and agreed to change its cancellation policies--but the agreement covered only people in New York."

Interesting, but ridiculously overplayed. The costs of operating a game console over the course of a year is pretty much nothing. Even taking the most expensive: $20.00 a year to operate Xbox 360... is still 5 cents a day. I'm sure the gamer can take the half second and pull that out of the couch he is sitting on.
...all that AMD info sort of makes the whole article stale, no?
Especially concerning the timeline, AMD introduced the technology AND will have it available 2 years sooner than Intel.
I'm pretty sure that AMD knows their processors run kind of hot, and probably have the R&D guys working on it, even if they aren't making as much noise as Intel is about it.
It doesn't really matter. These objects, while interesting, and theoretically may have some useful information to discover, are going to reflect the same end result. They are what they are: objects in space. Debating the name or generalization we place these objects won't make a difference.
Or maybe I'm just a jerk today.
Would it be better to have a ton of ads that mean nothing to you and basically say little other than "CLICK HERE", or have ads that reflect what you might actually take intrest in?
But I suppose both types are still better than Jamster.
According to an article in the Denver Post: "Sending a heavy satellite into orbit
costs tens of millions of dollars, or approximately
$10,000 a pound."
So, even if these 10cm cubes keep it to one half pound, they're still looking at a $5,000 bill to get it into space.
But apparantly, the Bush administration is spending much to find new methods or vehicles to reduce this cost (hopefully soon).
Like the first poster, I'm no biologist, but I'm under the impression that stem cells replicate the cells they are around. If that's the case, then why CAN'T the heart replicate itself? If the cells are there, and the time is provided, shouldn't these stem cells become new heart tissue?
Nothing, but that's exactly the point. Your case (or car, for that matter) can look as dull or as flashy as you want it to. It's how it preforms that makes it what it is. Even if I mod my case to have neon lights and a slurpee machine, all that won't matter unless it keeps everything inside working well.
This technology will be a real boon for fickle New York City baseball fans at the Subway Series in the future (they can simply flip a switch to change from a Mets to a Yankees jersey.
Okay... PLEASE. As IF there are New Yorkers that root for BOTH teams at once.
Well at the very least, I believe he DID hack into NASA, everything else... I dunno. The British police probably have records too... where are all of those in his story??
A slight off topic, but interesting: About 5 or 6 years ago at my former high school a senior was caught hacking NASA (for whatever reason) from the school's library, and the feds showed up and arrested him on the spot. Freaked everyone out a little.
Graphics was never the number one factor. Great gameplay was. This type of "graphics makes the game" type thinking came along with stuff like Far Cry, FEAR etc. In fact it almost seems like the game content was an afterthought.
Yes, and these games SOLD because there are still MANY people out there who DO think graphics make the game.
Not that I do, but you certianly can't say that graphics isn't the most important factor to some (if not most) people. Don't be daft.
Yes, but if they refuse to sell movies in the US, then any movies downloaded in that region can't possibly be considered a lost sale, thus they won't be losing a billion dollars are year to the pirates. It makes perfect sense if you think about it
So, if they don't sell movies in the US: instead of "losing" sales via piracy, they would just remove all possibility of that happening by not offering sales to begin with...
How could they possibly make money on that?
Looking at Venus and Earth, it seems global warming could actually have a positive side if you look at the right situation...
Quick! Everyone to Mars! Get those factories a-spewin'!
Who are they really generating publicity for?
How many kids are going to remember Lucent and their MPEG2 patent?
Then think how many kids will remember that their 360 was threatened to be taken off the shelves, and possibly rush out and buy one.
Sounds to me like Microsoft is lovin this.

After 10 years of Win, I switched to a MacBook last week. So did nearly half my buddies. I definately believe the hype, this is going to be big.
I wonder if it has an odor...

Please, a little fresh news.

I was about to write Will Wright. Good call.

I'm seeing... a pipeline... a HUGE pipeline... pumping......... methane. And natural gas.
Direct from Neptune.
Yeah, real easy.

Racing stripes DO make cars go faster.
Just like LEDs make my processer run cooler.
Most of the deaths were attributed to a disruption in blood circulation caused by sitting in a single, cramped position for too long...
Uhh,
*stands up*
Oh so it's okay when the U.S. Government does it, but not China.
Hey I heard that the word gullible isn't in the dictionary.

After all, they're apparently losing 1.3 billion dollars a year by selling movies here.
The internet is everywhere. Changing physical locations won't stop internet piracy.
...and the stage is set for the mafia nerds to make a comeback.
