Will this mean that tesco, asda, sainsburys and the rest make their parking bays even more narrow than they are already?

Seriously, can we stop referring to booting a computer as an "experience"? It's not like it's a trip to the moon!

Clearly apple's ploy to reinforce the perception of desirability of their shiny iThings. It works - look at all those iSheep.

Tip of the day:
Stop people modding you down by starting your message with "I know I'm going to get -1 troll, but..."

A developer of Braben's esteem could get publisher funding (as they have done for many other games), but he probably wants to retain creative freedom, which he can do with KS. When you have a publisher funding your project, they call the shots. If they want you to add more blood, explosions, zombies or whatever they think they'd like - it's their call and the studio must do what they're told. If they want it shipping 6 months before it's ready - it's their call. You want to add an innovative, but potentially risky feature? If the publisher isn't convinced, forget it! With KS, I'd say there's much more chance of Frontier shipping a quality game that pushes the boundaries, and won't be ruined by the type of dumbing down that dominates so much of the current crop of publisher-funded games.

The role of the mosaic law in the new testament is something that a lot of people find difficult to grasp at first, but you might find it helpful to read the book of Romans - particularly chapters 1-8. There are numerous passages in the gospels that appear to be contradictory when taken out of context, but Romans shows how they piece together. Also, read "The Normal Christian Life" by Watchman Nee.

You remind me of creationists who think that evolutionists will be stumped any time they mention the evolution of the eye, ignorant of the fact that it presents no difficulty whatsoever to evolutionary science, despite being cleared up long ago. (Similarly for the flagellum.)

Likewise, your post reveals your ignorance of the bible. If you really have asked such questions of anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of the bible, they should have been able to clear up your confusion with ease! Still, it's possible that they did answer your questions, but you had your fingers in your ears at that point.

2012 - year of the linux tablet!

Is the research group in a university? Most universities have a lot of computing power that sits idle for large proportions of the time in their undergraduate computing laboratories. There's a significant resource that could be exploited simply by deploying jobs to idle machines.

Never mind the lack of cell-phone towers - sound hadn't even been invented back then!

It is of huge significance in radiometric dating. If we can show that the half-life of a radioisotope is constant, then it increases confidence in these dating methods. Conversely, if it can be shown that decay rates vary significantly, then accurate dating becomes more difficult and merits further research.

Microsoft need to work on their overheating problems before they start on their console's aesthetic design. It beggars belief that new 360s still suffer from RROD. Sure, design flaws are often in products at release, but to do nothing about it and keep churning out the same shoddy goods for nigh on 4 years...? Bunch of cowboys!
