It's single player. You can't visit your 'friends.' Also, there is an in-game setting to only download community content that has been reviewed and okayed by people at EA. Meaning no dicks, tits, or balls.

You can visit your "friends" if you go "outside". You know. That place people went before the "internet".

This is the first post I have bothered to log in to make for over a year. I can't belive we have gotten to the point where someone says "visit your friends" and another person assumes this could be done IF AND ONLY IF it is a multiplayer game.

Giant Microwave Turns Plastic Back to Oil 555

An anonymous reader writes "From the newscientist article: "Key to GRC's process is a machine that uses 1200 different frequencies within the microwave range, which act on specific hydrocarbon materials. As the material is zapped at the appropriate wavelength, part of the hydrocarbons that make up the plastic and rubber in the material are broken down into diesel oil and combustible gas.""

The United States Space Arsenal 297

Posted by samzenpus from the Q-36-explosive-space-modulator dept.
ntmokey writes "When China tested a missile on its own satellite in January, the nation's aggressive statement immediately raised eyebrows among the world's other space-faring nations. Popular Mechanics looks at the implications of a conflict in space — including debris that could render space unusable for decades — and examines the United States' own space arsenal."
