Eh. If you were getting laid young enough to have grandkids at 50 you can't have been doing all that bad. If I have grandkids at 50, I know one first-grader (now) whose in real trouble!
In otherwords, they are activiely in the business of making whatever is cool totally uncool as quickly as possible, making the most money they can in the process.
"Popular" = "Not Cool" is quite popular these days.
I wonder if Google serves you hipster links?
You know, usually about this time on a thread about companies overpromising and underdelivering, we would have already had a good joke or three about Duke Nukem Forever. Sigh.
An additional term of the wager that was considered too risky for the participants was that the loser would have to play through the entire of the recently released Duke Nukem Forever. Twice.
Something tells me that an Australian company would not be using inches to track anything. TFA seems to agree. Our official conversion tables between metric and "ye olde worlde" include the phrase "an inch is as good as a mile", which does not bode well for its accuracy.
I think what you mean is:
"That's not an inch. THIS is an inch!"
And the 3D printer would spit out a liquid almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea^H^H^H a car.
FTFY.
Of course, this is exactly why America SHOULDN'T do this as i wouldn't trust american financial advisers as far as i can throw them with one hand these days.
Well, at least we've found a one handed economist thrower.
The US could eliminate our deficits immediately by cutting our Pentagon/CIA budget to under $300B a year from its current $TRILLION+, and soon pay off the accumulated debt with the surplus.
Ummm, no. Our deficit in 2010 was $1,560B. The DOD was $664B. The CIA budget is classified, but $50B is a good guess.
Eliminating both entirely would only remove half the deficit. Those are real numbers. $TRILLIONS is not.
I concur strongly with cutting defense to, well, actually defending the borders. I also believe we need to raise taxes a bit. To actually reduce the deficit we'll need to cut else where as well.
But using inaccuracy and hyperbole will not make the case.
My name, email and home address are all over the net, and have been for years. I'm still alive.
And you have lovely hair.
Clinton had 4 years where budget was in surplus and the US was paying down the debt.
This is simply untrue. The debt increased every year.
Saying anything else is Enron accounting and calls deeply into question any source which does so.
The exceptions are the games that I know aren't going to drop much in price on the used market anyway. A high rated Mario/Donkey Kong game? The used prices are going to be so close to new prices for years, I might as well just buy new. Nintendo has found the best way to reduce used game sales. Create quality games with a lot of replay value.
This is simply incorrect on the face of it. Released in 2007, Super Mario Galaxy goes for around $20 on Ebay. The sequel, SMG2, goes for around $30 used, being about a year old. This is a 40% discount. Both games were very highly rated.
