and all I'll say is that the new one made me feel the same way (as an adult) that the original made me feel as a child. Yes, the graphics are cool, but the coolest thing is the sense of infinite possibility you get from the scenery. CGI jeff bridges looked alright but didn't sound great as they had to use old jeff bridges voice with young jeff bridges face. Lots of nods to the original, definitely rewatch before seeing the new one. Overall very good. Some pacing issues, but that is similar to the original.

just keep an eye out for wormsign... shai hulud might hear the rythmic vibration of the transformers...

oh hell yes!

Wherever you go, there you are.

I'm sorry, my ability to keep reading, without giggling, after seeing this is basically nonexistent...

thanks for clarifying, all streaming video is blocked at work so I was going just off the article text.

it's just one of these, basically:

plus the option of having a hybrid system. The Bourke is the cold fusion of the automotive world. We've been hearing how magical and amazingly efficient it is since it was invented in the 1920s and yet no one has managed to build one that is actually more than slightly better than a normal 4 cycle.

well said. I love writing code, but not all code is the same. There are interesting and challenging programs, which I get to do rarely but not never, and there are mundane code-monkey programs which is what I am usually paid to write. Interesting!=useful (frequently, anyhow), so it makes complete sense.

There is also the factor that even a good programming job will most likely have you spending a decent amount of your day in meetings, doing documentation, testing, etc. Stuff that isn't fun or interesting but very necessary to get paid for writing software.

So I guess I would say that if I won the lotto I'd do the same thing, but pay someone else to do all the boring and mundane parts while keeping all the fun and interesting stuff to myself.

not really. most halfway competent cyclists can put out 200W for hours on end.

Good ones can continuously generate around 5W/kg: http://www.sportsscientists.com/2010/07/power-outputs-from-tour-de-france.html

No, but they were designed by engineers. Not built.

Engineers design the product, then they design the process (by which the product is mass produced.) Then laborers build it.

I was one of the few people who PAID for SoundJam... it WAS that good. iTunes has been nothing but a continuing series of disappointments. Uglier interface, no extra features that I even remotely care about.

when will it be out of beta? Will it be releasing on-time?
