Why doesn't NY state sue the state of Barbados for having a trespassing illegal commit crimes on their soil? He's an illegal--this is going to set a bad precedent.
I have said it many times... that NASA went from virtually NOTHING to LANDING A MAN ON THE MOON, with their very limited technology in the 1960s. Just think about it... in one decade, WE LANDED MEN ON THE MOON. Chances are, none of us were alive while there have been men on the moon.
Now WHY--SOMEONE TELL ME WHY--does it take SO LONG FOR THEM TO PLAN ANYTHING TODAY? With the quantum leaps made in recent decades in all manners and fields of science, shouldn't these space voyages be getting quicker, cheaper and easier?
FIRST SATELLITE: 1957.
FIRST MAN ON THE MOON: 1969.
FIRST MAN ON MANS: (Tentatively) (Maybe) 2030's.
WTF
I DON'T WANT TO BE 900 years old when this happens!
Fuck, I'll be 45 years old in 2030! And you know damn well that if the federal government of today plans to do something in 2030, it MIGHT actually get done in 2045...
I don't need to link any articles here, I know you've all heard about Obama firing Gen. McCrystal for the remarks he made to Rolling Stone. My beef is... we're at war... this guy is in charge of the war front... and Obama fires him because of a personal qualm that has nothing to do with the war, or how it is going, or the General's qualifications... is that wise? I mean, if he fired him because he was personally responsible for some failure, ya... but to fire our top man in the pivotal Afghan front, because he told a few mildly colorful anecdotes to a journalist... isn't that a little PETTY for the Commander in Chief? Isn't the General entitled to a little leeway there, for freedom of speech? Anyone else think so?

Since you've time and time again proven your mastery with the digital art fare, could you make me a little logo for this Facebook group page I manage. It's my WoW guild (no need for nerdy jokes here, I know) and it's called the THREE BADGES PROGRAM. What I'd like is a small jpeg that would be suitably sized to serve as the icon/logo... color or style are up to your own whimiscal desires, but I'd like it to say in capitals "THREE BADGES PROGRAM", "EST. 2007" and "DUNEMAUL."
Again this is open to anyone with experience or extra time. I made a logo myself, but I only have Paint, so... ya... uber crappy. Just a request, if any of you have the time to throw into it.
This is a pretty big deal if it can be mass produced and has a very high number of recharges before it wears out. The only issue is the obvious safety concern, as dumping capacitor levels of energy out of a battery if it shorts could be bad. However some simple safeties can be put in place.
Interesting... At the very least, they are clearly aware they've been neglecting the platform (and considering how much work they've put into DX10 and the upcoming DX11, that's really lame). They are "committed" but that's not really an answer. ABF, you were right. E3's now over and there's been almost nothing announced for the PC. There's Fable 3's announcement of a PC port, sure, but that's a token gesture. In fact I've no reason to bother with it, as I really doubt it'll be designed with modding in mind anyway. In the end, there's still plenty of PC games coming along, it's just that Microsoft isn't being a part of that.
What I'd do in their shoes is design "The 360 Platform Experience". Aside from making "Games for Windows Live" (Just rename it, call it "Live Games"), I'd see what work it would take to make ALL 360 games playable on Windows 7. The 360's hardware seems to have a lot of stuff that the PC shares, so the emulation wouldn't need to do too much I'd think. If pulled off well, people with high quality PCs wouldn't need to shell out for a 360 and could instead simply buy 360 games. Microsoft alone is in a good position to do this, and it'd give them a big advantage.
