Now convert that from litres to gallons you get > $8/gallon.

This is why I have no CRT screens in my house!

I'm not contending whether or not the video is faked, but the argument that there is a Sony copyright mark is totally invalid. That copyright mark is in relation to the wipeout name, concept and logo, which they are required to display under the fair use provisions along with the fair use statement as JIST (fake or not) would not have the rights to. It clearly states that the copyright for the video does not belong to Sony.

Is this proven to be consistent and will it continue to have this effect on the workers? I'd like to reference the Hawthorne Effect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawthorne_effect which basically states that any change to the working environment will increase productivity temporarily. So how long until it gets old and productivity slumps again?

I didn't read TFA, but the summary hints that Greenpeace are not protesting against the plant itself or even nuclear power but at the lack of security which could prevent more potential disasters. This seems completely reasonable and unlike most protests we associate with such organisations and Greenpeace should be commended as an example to the activists that go over the top by trying to ban a video game simply for featuring a racoon hat.

I find it somewhat amusing that "OpenServer" is marked as Closed Source.

They do know it's easier to pirate console games than it is PC games? All current-gen consoles now have some form of custom firmware that allows you to run pirated games. And its easier to do than pirating PC games.

Where have PETA been? Are they new or something? Mario has been doing that since THE BEGINNING OF TIME. Why only make a fuss about it now?

I had one of these once, but had a power cut one day and now it's bricked. I can't even get anything out of the TTL console header.

Mine has the 'A' missing from the model number, but I cannot say I've had any issues. There are DD-WRT builds for this router that allow you to change the transmit power if you're finding that to be an issue. It also has plenty of spare flash space to install other applications if you wish, such as samba for using it as a NAS, or I've got a full suite of IPv6 tools installed on mine.

Does this mean they're going to be taking on Namco too? The Guncon3 controllers also use a similar system to the Wii. Now the other thing to consider here it that even though the Wii came out in 2006, it's quite likely that had a working prototype years before that.

These times do not really impress me. Why? I owned an A1200 with a hard disk. My Amiga A1200 booting from a hard disk boots to Workbench in under 10 seconds. The machine was manufactured in 1992, has a 68020 CPU running at 12.5MHz with 2MB RAM.

Yep I saw that when it was on TV and was about to post a similar comment.

Yep that's my understanding of it :)

IIRC It's not illegal to tape something from the TV. It is illegal to keep that recording for more than 14 days after the original broadcast.
