Arrrrrr Matey, I max out my 20Mbps connection all day.

Next thing you know the Legislative Branch will start writing laws to sidestep the Judicial!!

A little exaggeration of the problem I think.

Now when I build mass fabricators in Supreme Commander I'll be able to better appreciate the energy required.

Simple story and the kicker is there isn't a human mentioned in the book. It's from the perspective of an alien race fighting an alien race. Great way in my opinion to get a child to take another look at the world.

Very very true. You know they made a lot off of those trades, everyone was into it. If this guy likely had some authorization since this profitabel trade sprang up on short notice.

A black hole would be more efficient and not only that.. more difficult to detect from the outside, because who wants to be found anyway.

I've long been a Final Fantasy fan since FFI, FXIII was a pretty major dissapointment for me but I held out hope for XIV, I enjoyed XI... what a bomb.. the only thing that gives me hope is Squares repsonse to the XIV failure. They've dropped the subscription fee and said they won't charge until they're satisfied with how the game is, they dumped the old team and brought in new, from development to management. I think Square has invested into a story that theyr'e happy with and are dissapointed once again with how XIII came out. Hopefully they're putting a new team together, as they are with XIV to make things right for the fans.

Mein Kampf.. empowerment Communist Manifesto.. equality Rand... freedom Some great minds there, however they were applied.

Who'd have ever thought such technology was feasible. Only in the world of a closed off iPad could this possibly be any kind of news. Please let us return to five years ago when things like this weren't newsworthy.

It's time to stop living in the past and realize that our brain power can be put to better use than idiotic grammar rules. I don't think even pessimistic people can say we'll still need to even use our brains in another 100 years as computers will be able to update our facebook profiles for us.

I'm not up on these sorts of things, it does look quite spectacular though. Does anyone know what kind of effects we might have seen on Earth if this had been directly towards us?

The U.S.? You yourself use outdated names for nations. Please refer to the United Federation of Conglomerated Corporations properly.
