Anecdotes are not scientific

Why is the f-22 such an overpowering plane then? E.g., check out some of the simulated battles linked in this article. It always seems that they're hugely in favor of the f-22, but perhaps that is just air force posturing.

We 'need' economic stimulus and everyone wants to look like they're driving alternative technologies and and clean energy. The main albatross for fusion is the decades of broken promises...

I'm not sure if you're a troll or not, but the tegra 2 is intended for exactly this market. It uses the same cortex a9 cpus (comes in dual core varieties too) and supports hardware 1080p encode/decode. The TI OMAP4 is another similar product.

Agreed. The concept of creating bookmarks and trying to organize them into some hierarchy is just... archaic.

This is the future. Index everything, let me search it, and give me the best (most used) results first.

It's very easy to join games in your friends list, and hopefully blizzard will implement friend follow or something like that in the GUI. Ironically, we usually use hamachi/bnet over our university lan because of it's tendency to block lan games from appearing for everyone.

Port 6113 is blocked here, meaning you have to change the default port of wc3 to host. Other than that, it works. Since sc2 will also have the ability to change port, everyone should be fine.

You heard wrong; you've been able to freely transfer ringtones on most verizon phones since pretty much forever. I have heard they've been changing their store around this year though, so we'll see what happens...

For me, it was more like "c'mon, don't crash now...!" (being 6 years old, I did some unfortunate things to that mac...)

If you're interested in Japan, check out Tohoku University. They're a technical school which does English courses in Japan. Being Japan, it's also pretty easy to get scholarships (I most everything paid for when I was accepted, including 2 round trips from US to Japan per semester, food, housing, etc.). Finally, since they're an English speaking school, they do a lot of work with study abroad students. The main downside to any study abroad program is transferring credits. Perhaps it is different at some schools, but at a fairly high level research university, it's almost impossible to transfer credits for anything outside of the core. The content has to be too similar. On the other hand, my school would let me transfer the courses as generic technical electives, so I'd recommend that to you.

And you misunderstand Pascal's wager.

Pascal understood the real-life costs of being an adherent; he just thinks that the possibility times the infinite reward of belief is greater than the FINITE costs expended while alive. Of course, since you obviously believe the possibility to be infinitesimal, the wager doesn't make sense mathematically.

At least the paragraphs on true belief give some value to your +5 interesting.
