It would be interesting to more or less terraform different regions into more habitable locations. If an abundance of water throughout the country became available it could create a lot of new jobs in housing and construction.

If Kratos was in those pictures he'd probably be that noticeable. Hes definitely not a god that would hide in the clouds.

"Wow.. this is amazing.. oh shit! Kratos! Run for you lives!"
 
lmao.. as if a volcano erupting lava, Pyroclastic flow and lightning wasn't dangerous enough.

I think Disc Locked Content is a bullshit marketing strategy. In my opinion that product is already paid for, including the development time, etc. Too many games are getting stripped down and parts locked away just to make some extra money. \

You're not squinting hard enough as it's clearly Thor.

TOKYO — The restart of Japan's nuclear power industry is proving pivotal to the economic vision of the country's prime minister as soaring fuel bills after the Fukushima disaster threaten to keep the country's trade in a deeper deficit for longer.
As Japan marks the second anniversary this week of a crisis that scarred the nation, the fuel bills to pay for lost atomic output are leaving their own scars on the economy, partly owing to Abe's own making.
His mix of economic policies — dubbed Abenomics by the media — has driven the yen down sharply, thus raising the cost of imports that will weigh on the revival of a nation that has traditionally relied on exports to drive growth.
The sooner that pro-nuclear Abe can restart atomic power stations, the sooner he will return the country's record trade deficit to its long-term standing of a trade surplus and so mark a milestone in the recovery of the economy.
But in Abe's way is the country's new, independent atomic watchdog, which has said it will take as long as three years to approve restarts under safety guidelines it is drawing up.
"It's a problem for Abe because his economic policies depend partly on an export led recovery to really deliver growth and he needs to get the trade balance back to positive," said Tom O'Sullivan, a Tokyo-based energy consultant.
"He also needs to stimulate domestic demand in parallel with improving exports," O'Sullivan said, adding he believed Abe had made up his mind to restart reactors.
The Fukushima disaster, triggered by a huge earthquake and tsunami in northeastern Japan in March 2011, led to the shut down of the country's entire nuclear power industry, which was producing 30 per cent of the country's electricity supply at the time. Only two reactors have resumed operation, sparking huge protests against nuclear power.
Japan's fuel imports bill jumped immediately as power companies ramped up production of oil and gas-fired generators. Just as quickly, the trade balance swung into a deficit.
Abe's push for more aggressive fiscal and monetary policy since he won a big election victory in December has added to the fuel bill by driving down the value of the yen to a 3-1/2 year low of 96.71 per dollar on Tuesday.
Japan, the most energy-import dependent of the world's major economies, spent about 24 trillion yen ($250 billion) in 2012 on fuel imports including for electricity generation, based on the official average yen rate of 79.55 to dollar, finance ministry figures showed.
That made up a third of Japan's total imports bill and towered over a record trade deficit of 6.9 trillion yen.
Should the yen fall to 100 to the dollar and stay there for the next year, Japan's purchases of oil, gas and coal from overseas would rise 25 per cent to just over 30 trillion yen, in the unlikely scenario that import volumes hold steady.
But energy imports are likely to rise as Japan faces a second complete shutdown by September when the two running nuclear plants must be idled for regular maintenance.
Abe's Liberal Democratic Party is seen as more pro-nuclear power than the preceding Democratic Party of Japan government. Abe plans, for example, to review from scratch his predecessor's plan to exit atomic power.
"Abe will surely use high import costs after the summer to argue that Japan needs to get restarts simply because the cost for doing business in Japan is prohibitive," said Martin Schulz, a senior research fellow at Fujitsu Research Institute.
Like Abe, utilities have strong economic reasons to restart nuclear power stations as they see costs soar. Imports of liquefied natural gas, the main substitute for nuclear fuel, cost 6 trillion yen in 2012 and utilities are desperate to restart other units to reduce costs and cut losses.
They are betting they will be able to get just over a fifth of Japan's 50 reactors restarted by the end of March 2014, although some critics say that is ambitious given the regulator's more cautious view.
If utilities were able to get half the country's 50 nuclear reactors back online, they would save as much as 1.8 trillion yen in fuel imports over the next year, the Institute of Energy Economics, Japan, a government-linked research institute, said.
Tokyo Electric Power Co, Kansai Electric Power Co , Kyushu Electric Power Co, Shikoku Electric Power Co and Tohoku Electric Power Co have included the restart of 11 reactors as part of applications to raise electricity prices.
Out of the country's 10 nuclear operators, the five account for more than 70 per cent of fuel oil, crude and LNG use for power generation in Japan and 40 per cent of coal burning. Together they operate two-thirds of the country's reactors.
"Nothing has been decided yet about the restart of nuclear reactors, but my guess is that the current government is supportive of restarts, although in a low-key manner, since the resistance among the population is substantial," said Gerhard Fasol, Chief Executive officer of Eurotechnology Japan KK, a Tokyo-based consulting firm.
The big five are forecasting a 50 per cent increase in coal use in the year to March 31, 2014, while their LNG use is expected to decline 9.4 per cent. Reflecting the currency impact, the volume of crude oil imports fell 4.7 per cent in January but their value rose 5.9 per cent. Average benchmark Brent crude prices in the month were only 0.8 per cent higher than a year earlier.

Steam Box will come with Windows 8 preinstalled (Incorrect Story Title)
 
I think this will turn out to be a bad business decision for Xi3 with how poorly Windows 8 is selling.

Sheriff of Rottingham - I was angry at you before Locksley, but now I'm really pissed off!
Ahchoo - Pissed off? If I was that close to a horse's wiener I'd be worrying about being pissed on!

this is freeky, I was looking at headphones, and thats the pair i found on  http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/skullcandy-s2ikdy-101-inkd-2-0-headphones-blue-black-13730040-pdt.html
 
I am intending on buying them later
 
I had a pair of Beats, One pair broke and my cat ate the other, cant afford another pair

I have some skull candy buds and they are rockin like dokken. I had a pair of Samsung that required a single AAA battery to cancel out outside music, but these don't and I paid $99 rather than $120 for them. I'm very happy. The bass is top notch. especially when I rock some B.I.G.
 

looks like they rebooted it to fit more with the film avengers
 
EMH was awesome, 

Nice. Odd that it isn't a stock feature, you'd think something like this would of been core feature.

nice feature

Awesome.

I know FL has already passed an anti-drone state law, and I think a few other states have as well. Drones can have a good purpose in the US, but no one that wants to use them seems to have those intentions.

Drones could keep track of wildfires, used for find people in mega disasters like Katrina or Sandy. They could be used to find missing hikers in the forest, they could give us a better view of dangerous places to fly in like the grand canyon.

If we are to use drones in our skies, they should be non weaponized, and ONLY used for emergencies like missing people in the woods or desert. Trying to find a suspect/convict on the run isn't really effective as we saw with that whack job in LA where the cops shot up several innocent people they "thought" was him.

It's situational really. Am I alone or with someone that can hold their own/call 911 while I beat ass? What shoes I'm wearing will determine if I kick the strangler in the face or elbow drop the back of his neck. I'd beat the strangler off the dude but since I dunno why he was strangling the guy I'd want to keep them both beat down until I was relieved.

I'm sooooooo excited, i just let mine update last night, but i ended up not playing anything afterwards because I would've gotten sucked in and stayed up all night and not gotten any sleep before work. I'll probably play tonight and see if i have any issues

Warcraft 3 had a great opening:
 

 
 

 
At least he gets his frog back.. but whats this.. his hair is brown in the opening and blue in the ending.. lmao.

not retro. but insainly epic

What was funny about the movie was the 2003 turtles found the original turtles to be comical too
Like how 80's Donnie built a transdimensional teleporter using a flashlight,....

Hip replacements would become more practical. The elderly that broke a bone and have complications in healing? Screw that, just replace the bone entirely! Someone is in a bad accident? Fixed

And the one I think could be more impressive is curing deafness... we can print out generic delicate ear bone systems to help those born without them, or those with rare cases where their inner ear bone structure locks up due to abnormal growths, kinda like whatever Grissom had on CSI.

Skeletal birth defects? Gone! Catastrophic spinal defects/deformities/injuries? Fixed!

This needs to be invested in... better materials need to be funded and researched. The body automatically rejects hip and knee replacements to where they have to be redone every so many years... Medical insurance companies should be require x-rays to keep a 3D printer blueprint of your hips and knees in your 20s for when you get older and have to have them replaced.

I loved that show growing up.

It was definitely an 80s show... anything 80s is dated to everyone that didnt grow up in the 80s.
 
That being said, it still had the best intro
