try with in the last ten years for gps and 15 for lap tops. err, that is when they were made cost effective for mass production, we had gps back in the mid 70's and that was when I used it,(one was built into every parashute) it was around long before that. as to lap tops, we had them back then too... I saw one in use onboard U.S.A.F. "looking glass" at Offitt AFB in the fall of 1979 it cost about $60,000 and did little more than check the systems of ot

You two lovebirds make me need a nap. excuse me, what are you talking about? I seem to have dozed off while reading.

fuzzy logic A superset of Boolean logic dealing with the concept of partial truth -- truth values between "completely true" and "completely false". It was introduced by Dr. Lotfi Zadeh of UCB in the 1960's as a means to model the uncertainty of natural language. Any specific theory may be generalised from a discrete (or "crisp") form to a continuous (fuzzy) form, e.g. "fuzzy calculus", "fuzzy differential equations" etc. Fuzzy logic replaces Boolean truth values with degre

There is a huge difference between data input (which is binary for a lot of our body, maybe even most) and data processing . Which, while our brain cells may be binary (on or off) I don't think is binary -- they still have to decide where to send their data, after all. what you are discribing as thought is known as "fuzzy logic" they are trying to develop a computer system using "fuzzy logic" so that they can figure a way to make conputers

Personally, I prefer having the numbers. My time sense is... rough, at best. Its a flaw, I will admit. same... same here,

Thanks for the comments guys! We definitely want to leave the fleet composition in the hands of the player. It has been important to us from the very start that the player decides what strategy he/she wants to take. Even at a highter level (combat-trade-research-diplomacy). We are going to need your help understanding the core of your concern here. Does it lie in the feeling that there are only two major strategies - bui

Yay..... Sadly I am at work...... You work? Gee I thought you owned a ranch. Ya know the one that has the pink space ponies on it...

[quote] ICBM missile at 16,000 m.p.h who knows why they did it, but also who knows what the IBMS missile where intended to do.. you shame yourself multianna, thats talking about theoretical anti-nukes. theoretical being one of the key words, anti- being the other. god, 1956, thats before sputnik!... ICBMs were not that powerful back then. eerr guys... the first icbm was the atlas and was deployed in 1962, it had problems and was replaced in sho

although in the end your point is invalid as action would be taken to counteract such a collapse. such as, persay, freezing the stockmarket. The government would never be allowed to do this. Only Congress has such commercial power and seeing as it is made up of the wealthy who have a lot riding on such a stock crash and gain would be caught at a stand still of arguements. umm, sorry but there is already a la

Wanna bet? Sure, it'd probably end up passing, but plenty of people would end up objecting. I doubt it, thats why you dont see people in desperate countries crying out for civil rights, all they want is protection and food. I've got mounds of historical evidence to back up my claim, wheres yours? People will rise up. Warsaw Getto uprising, 1933 bonuus march, Atlanta bus boycott, NYC draft riot, Pennsylvai

it was the closing of the banks and the lost deposits of the people. and don't forget all those people buying stocks on credit, because even creditors thought that stocks would just go up in value. Very true!

Got Winamp? no but I will now go get it! Thank you

No, we had more expensive stock crashes, but we have never had one that was worse. Just last week the stock market lost 1 trillion dollars, that is way worse then the Great Depression in term of money, but not many people lost jobs over it. The stock market crash is not what brought on the great depression; it was the closing of the banks and the lost deposits of the people. We now insure those accounts for $100,000 each. No more run on banks, no more p

scientifical... rofl I really don't think it matters if aliens exist or not, if they can travel to our planet without being noticed by private space watchers and whatnot, then there is absolutely nothing we can do to defend ourselves. that said, does anyone know what human flesh tastes like?

Umm...actually Sins does work with the Xbox 360 gamepad for Windows.... yea, bet you can't get the pink space ponies to work on it! and what would SoaSe be without the space Ponies?

o.k., would someone please tell this fool how to open and play the music files? (me being the fool)

??? Okay, let's compare a small/medium sized passenger jet versus a B2 Stealth bomber. You think they have the same basic construction? The bomber is built around minimizing cross sections/radar signal. The passenger jet is built around fuel efficiency versus seating number versus cheapest building cost. Sure, they both have backup systems. But they both do their jobs vastly better than the other could ever do. Also Here is another e

woh mjl lets calm down. HOW THE HELL do you rate how well your economy is doing? The only plausible idea is to compare it to other empires but once you conquer a galaxy or 2 you will be such a landslide overpower to everyone else (assuming the enemy are computers which are the majority of your opponents. Like in skirmishes or campaigns.) that you will have instant loyalty. And difficult loyalty makes the game fun. Instead of just building more and more trade p

Lets thell the truth, the real problem with the melting Ice caps is that there are no pink space ponies to protect it anymore! They are off in space to protect us now.

ok here comes my little tidbit on this, if, while I am passing an enemy ship, would i not drift my stern so that my bow was aiming right down their throat as I fired my salvo of missiles and laser cannons? drift, roll, fire! full throttle, roll, drift, fire! You get the idea, I might not have the biggest gun but I sure can run rings around you and hit you in your soft underbelly! I can get in 5 or 6 shots before you can swing your bow around for a single knock out shot at me!

Isnt BBC like owned by some creepy old person bent on secretly controlling the UK through the use of media mergers? Umm I theink they refer to that creepy old person as Queen Mother

I would suggest you read Ayn rand's Atlas shrugged. I grew up duing the cold war and had wondered what all the fuss was about. I read marx and trosky and others as well, I came to the conclution that to be a socialist (nazis and Itialy's fasist) or a communist was to support savery, slavery of all mankind. I have read it, and any form of government enslaves people in a general sense. I would rather be a slave to a person though,

I live in Philadelphia and we have flying cars here already, have for a long time! they fly into each other while drag racing they fly off the road from the pot holes they fly into people cause buttlets are in short supply they fly down the street like idiots they fly onto the sidewalk for points (deathrace 2000) they fly into hotel parkinglots for hookers I just wish those jerks who fly them would also learn how to drive them!

scince it's an american made film, shouldnt all of america get it before everybody else? I don't get why a film can't be released worldwide at the same time, getting The Simpsons movie before the US is great, but I was clawing at the walls waiting the two weeks between Serenity's US release and the UK release. The rest of the world (ie me) needs to get a film first once in a while. I have entire seasons of TV ru
