i don't think you quite understand my stance. the issue i have with the i-pad is that it discourages the use of your own machine. its like saying "even though you payed for it and have to maintain it I OWN IT" this is a miserable step backward for the computing world. Anything that discourages control over your own machine can only lead to horrible consequences.

outranks every one of these in its failure

the internet is far to broad to simply state someone is addicted to it. im not stating that is impossible to become an addicted to a certain aspects of the web but to say that your addicted to the net in general tells me the researches lacked a certain understanding of it. the internet itself is a form of communication, so saying your addicted to the internet is like saying your addicted to talking.

apple would probably deny it anyway.

the point of art is a way to invoke an emotion feeling or change your perspective on the world. its a way of communicating thoughts feelings and ideals through the use of a medium. i have to admit not all games do this but there are multiple games that i have played through and where able to experience deep emotions and some have even gone so far as to change the way i look at things. id also like to state that yes i think games can be art. second id like to state that in some cases it can be a better medium then the others because instead of just sitting there observing the authors thoughts and ideas you have to submerse your self into them. its like your put into the game creators mind and you experience first hand everything. the reason why we strive to collect art and literature is because we find an enjoyment in it, and its able to expand are views into the edges of possibility. games accomplish this very well.

they did say the same thing about the internet and look what happened.

first pluto faking being a planet now cannibalism!? our solar system is becoming more and more like a cheesy soap opera.

Key Words: YET. just because you show no signs of viruses doesn't mean you dont have one. Remember that people have/will use things like Script injections to infect a trustworthy site and drive by download a virus to your machine faster then you can say "your virus database has been updated" Also not all viruses have the intent of shutting down your machine. Some just want to use your machine to host child porn or other illegal things, and if that happens then you may end up one day with police knocking on your door with a warrant for your arrest.

all the movies form the fifties about giant sea monsters being released by earthquakes are true! We must prepare are selves by watching hours of scifi original movies! Its also no coincidence, 222nd dive? that's 1/3 evil.

the thing is that its just using an simple algorithm that's very easy to get a hold of(via google). in fact the only reason why i see that this beat the human world record is because it has hands on every side(except the front) of the cube. cool yes, but a massive breakthrough in robotics, not so much.

apple isnt all that cool

or he could live in a Faraday cage

my question is do you honestly need a heat sink? i mean the moon is at least negative 162 C (260 F). not to mention a dense atmosphere is much denser hence it can conduct heat better.

darpa is defiantly going to be the government organization to incite the zombie apocalypse. though i shouldn't say that to loud considering the made the internet.....

how did they even begin to think about this? a couple of NASA scientists where sitting around at a board meting then all of a sudden say "hey we've got a couple extra billions lets check the moon for water!" "but how do we do that?" "uh....with an explosion :D".
