Also, (most) people are smart enough to move when their land floods or dries out. The entire population of a geographic area doesn't have to die, most will relocate and/or adapt, as we've always done.
Sure they're only 50% accurate at predicting this weekend's weather, but still...
They also can't tell you what roll of the dice you'll get each time you roll, but they'll tell you the percentages if you roll those dice over 6 millions years.
I'm sorry, but i have to call bullshit on the battery life issue. My psp will die after 6 hours (if i'm luckY)... and my DS can go upwards of 18 or so hours.
Funny, I just put mine in my pocket with no problem and I have the Mad Catz clamshell on it which increases the size quite a bit.
You must have massive pockets. I can stick it in my front pocket, only if i'm standing, and if i don't have anything else. My ds on the other hand, will fit comfortably next to my ipod in my front pocket with little interference.
Oh, i'll just fire up my forge in the backyard to make that steel part I need.
If it were only as easy as "fill sand mold with metal". You need metal traps and runners for excess and so the mold cools correctly, and has the correct strength.
in TFA there is no mention of who is complaining about this, the source is unidentified. I think this is all just part of the marketing.
If Reznor looks like the "eff the RIAA" character, it will only increase his sales of the album. The RIAA is not going to send this to court.
Am I also incorrect in thinking that because this is released on billboard.com (not really a notable 'news' organization), that they are just putting out a press release for the record label?
Ah, see, but that is not microsofts fault, because they never suggest what specs are needed in the Tele ads. They don't put together these questionable "vista capable" machines. If you look up what specs are needed, yes, microsoft does give you minimum requirements.
Entertainment is going to have to come up with SOME way to make money. TiVo has killed tv advertising. People (like me) don't want to pay for something like Television. I wouldn't mind a 2 minute commercial at the beginning of my LOST download if I could get it Legally, As fast (or faster) as i can through other means, and without commercials every 10 minutes.
Sounds like a sustainable formula to me. No DRM though, I want to be able to burn it onto a cd and watch it on my Tele, not just my small computer screen. Encode it in H.264, or DiVX or whatever is high quality.
The reason why this is news, is because the PS3 is lacking in titles as it is. If there were a dirth of titles for the ps3 coming out, then this wouldn't be news, and would be seen as a delay for development time, not waiting for the customer base to grow.
If every company keeps waiting for a customer base, there will never be one.
This game would work online, cross platform (Guitars handled by ps3/x360, and the drums handled by the wii with 2 wiimotes), and would let you write your own songs, and submit them to an online archive.
Then, people could use these songs to dance to DDDR3revolutionextreeeem!
I hope they get more master tracks. Listening to that Guy do his best Kurt Cobain on "heart shaped box" on GH2 was pretty damn painful. Same with the guy who was singing the RATM song. But man, was it fun to play John the Fisherman with the real Primus Track.
"I'm sure it's not beyond the imagination of the developers what could be put on the extra 15gb."
Another game and a half perhaps? Maybe EA should start attaching last years Madden with this years... just because they have 15 more gigs to fill
Science is often championed as being very sure... especially evolution,
I'm calling you on this rediculous statement. Science is only as sure as they can prove. You'll hardly find a scientist who, under new evidence or studies, will say "nope, the way we used to believe is more correct, and i'll be damned if i take your new evidence into consideration!"
Sounds more like religion to me.
I don't care if they have "bought their 'free' copy" yet. Sony can say they've shipped from china or whereever they are manufactured, even if nobody has received them yet, and sony would count it as "shipped".
One result is that offers are cropping up for artists like Candy Hill to record only ring tones or a clutch of singles, according to talent managers and lawyers.
Ugh. Might as well say "This is the new AC/DC jingle for Alka-seltzer. Find it on LP now!" Is every "artist" now just a version of milli vanilli?
1. Even if a 1000 backups are made today, unless each successive backup (say) 2-5 years from now includes _all_ the information from today, those original 1000 backups are quite useless.
Looks like you shouldn't make 1000 backups all at once on dollar store cdr's eh?
2. Having been a victim of HD fluid bearing loss (from a brand new Maxtor drive only lasting 16 months), even HD(s) aren't reliable.
How about solids state memory, or why not on 5 backup harddrives, if one fails, make a copy of one the other 4...
3. As long as item 1 is handled by ever increasing storage capacities, it's not an issue. However, redundancy doesn't stop at 2 (hd -> CD). It's better to have a long term solution like magnetic tapes (or other) imo.
The problem with analog signals is the same as digital, deterioration over time. Look at the old Woodie guthrie recording of "this land is your land". Some parts are barely intelligible because of the analog recording they were made on.
I bet if we had those on original hard drives, we probably would be checking the stability of those hard drives and backing them up whenever possible, which isn't possible with analog to get a perfect copy.

Ah, so food doesn't need water to grow, and crops will pop up even in times of drought.

My big gripe is, why not? What's wrong with becoming more sustainable? The health deterioration from gas emissions is proven, why fight that?

In the year 2000, in the year 2000!
Students will learn from virtual classrooms, because the RIAA had taken all of the money for real campuses to fight online piracy.

Shhhh. don't tell advertisers that advertising doesn't work. They'll stop paying for stuff.

No but she can be turned into clay with copper eyes.
Whatever, that was in '91. So that $1000 cd player is as good as a $40 cd player today
