Embedded systems like an NAS adapter don't often receive updates after the first year or so. Which means that features don't get added and many quirks and bugs go unpatched.

It has all the features that could possibly define the concept of a computer: Video out, Removable and bootable storage, fully-fledged OS, supports keyboards and mice and any other peripheral device.

Reality is the exact opposite of what you're saying. The two-body problem is in fact stable, so the orbit doesn't just "break". You have to force the two objects to collide, using a considerable amount of energy. The delta-v for Geostationary-transfer-orbit to Geostationary-orbit is 1.5km/s. I.E., you have to change…

Certainly the most useful and versatile tool, but there are problems:

The problem is that to de-orbit something to a steep trajectory would require an insane amount of energy in the first place. May as well just build a ground based rail gun or missile.

In Ocarina of Time he's supposed to be 16 I believe. Even an 18 year old as a macho badass would be more comedic than anything else.

Kids these days...

Well link is supposed to be a child or youth. I think it's more that they resisted the urge to hard boil the franchise. I think the problem with Final Fantasy arises from the fact that they have to try to reconcile the typical Anime-like character design with an ever grittier surrounding.

Wind Waker and Majora's Mask are many people's favorites. By contrast it seems to me that only people who played OoT as kids who think it's really any better than the rest.

All the motion in that video is simplified and looks like it was done with vector graphics software. It's simply no comparison to the hand-drawn cells in traditional animation.

I was obviously poking fun at the OP. Clearly there are usage cases for both technologies. But WiFi has come so far in recent years that the benefit of wired Ethernet is diminishing.

I'd wager that most you guys with strong opinions on this have never tried a joystick vehicle or read any user-studies for it.
It's all just a bunch of speculation and conjectures to arrive at a foregone conclusion.
I have an Anecdote to share from an ergonomics engineer doing research for an automobile manufacturer who…

Computers and internet connections are cheap enough for most "poor" people in western countries to afford. It's basically a modern necessity.

Problem with that argument is that practically every one of them is better than WoW. WoW came along at the right time and in one swipe saturated most of the subscription market. Now we have a competitive market and people have found out they would much rather play an f2p MMO than pay a subscription, especially when…

Depends on your playing habits I suppose. Many MMORPG fans play for multiple hours every day, so a lot of their gaming time is used up for $15. But if you're interested in other games and only play the MMORPG sporadically then a lot of that $15 gets wasted.

Disclaimer: I'm from Europe, so I can't nor do I desire to go in-depth into US laws and pricing.

Well it is pretty safe. There is absolutely no evidence that alcohol in small doses is bad for children. It's probably more due to concern about alcohol abuse that people get worked up about it.

Well, we knew we were being ripped off, but I guess the simplified currency made it obvious to everyone and they probably wanted to avoid bad press.

It's actually not as bad as it used to be. Back when the PS2 was released it was $299 in the US, whereas the European price was around $450, a 50% markup.

In Tales of Symphonia I just more or less walked into every enemy I came across, partly I suppose because I'd been conditioned to do so by other RPGs. So in my case the choice was entirely illusory. Psychologically I think this irritated me a bit.
