I think a lot of the appeal of park would be lost to Trekkies if the park just catered to Arabic speaking tourists. At the same time though, it's in an Arabic speaking country so it seems kind of odd for it be in English.

I guess it'll have to be bi-lingual in absence of universal translators. This situation just seems kind of odd to me in that American franchise would have a theme park catering to it in another part of the world.

Well at least the Tea Party is striving to turn the US in to Somalia...a country with no government.

"Useless" is completely subjective. What I happen to deal with is urban planning which some would consider unnecessary government regulations. I obviously disagree with that notion but I'll leave that for another time.

The issue I have is when Tea Party groups around the country are trying to shut down planning and building codes departments which happen to push for sustainability. Some rather vocal Tea Party folks feel that sustainability is a vast conspiracy put forth by the United Nations to establish a one world government. The Agenda 21 stuff they're spouting is utterly bizarre and they can't be talked out of it. I have no problem if they have issues with building codes or urban planning but please stick with conventional lines of attack such as property rights instead of adhering to some conspiracy bullshit.

Hard to ignore elections when you work in the public sector. It's real awkward when you have a political party that would like nothing more than see you out of work. So I have some morbid fascination in hopefully seeing the Tea Party implode.

Except it looks like he made the post 4 years ago while in the United States. Just making a critical statement about a country then getting arrested for it years down the road while visiting isn't a very good precedent. I'm sure since this guy is a US citizen, the State Department will work something out though.

They could just go with the Xbox 3G (3rd Generation!). Hey, it worked for Apple.

High speed rail would need its own right-of-way. The current tracks would not support 250 mph. Like Amtrek had to reinforce the tracks in the Northeast for the Acela line which only goes a bit over 100 mph.

If they just released next week, it wouldn't conflict with most universities' finals schedule. As it is, this is painful trying to study for finals and write papers when Cataclysm just came out.

More than likely the papers were not properly served. So they probably never knew they were being sued.

That time it took to address the "complaints" probably came from trying to circumvent an existing patent.

I think you'd have a different perspective on trailers if you lived in the South. They're all over the place due to how cheap they are. They're meant to used on a more temporary basis but people continue to use them as their permanent homes. As a result most trailers are in poor condition and would literally fall apart if you attempted to move them. At that point they're just an eyesore and detract from everything around them (including property values)... That's the real reason they're not allowed in most cities.

Modular Homes are completely different and are meant to be used as permanent structures, hence they have no axles. Due to how controlled the factory environment is, you'll often times get a better quality modular house than you would a conventionally built one.

The one notable exception being the 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime.

The thing may be fairly expensive but the quality is superb.

We all need our garbage picked up. Admittedly the job kind of stinks though.

In general, what kills most MMOs is releasing too soon. If they release too early and ruin their first impressions with people, there is really no way for them recover. They need subscribers since box sales can only do so much. This is also the key reason why you're seeing fewer MMOs and more delays these days.

For some reason, I came into this year thinking the Tauren Space Marine would be impossible to top... I was wrong.
