What about fully dynamically destructible environments? What about being able to free roam? What about being able to bust down any door and go in any room in any building you see? What about that stuff?

You need to buy a new car every 2 years to keep up.

All that money happens to be mine. However, if you agree to let me keep 10% of it, I will relinquish the rest in taxes. You may deposit the rest in my personal bank account.

A sarcastic question deserves a serious answer. Use a PC running DOSBox and a 2600 emulator. You can even buy old DOS games at http://www.gog.com/

Anything that was designed for the Xbox 360 will have to be rebuilt, and it sounds like Microsoft doesn’t plan to do so.
Many of those games had PC ports, so that would make a new port to XO much easier and quicker.

It’ll be the same games. Basically you’re buying a locked down PC with a friendly interface and a low price.

Double Irish With a Dutch Sandwich
That sounds like the title of a banned YouTube video.

Nah, that would only result in a lawsuit, supposedly for the good of the consumer, industry, and innovation. Copyright, trademark, patent, buttplug.

If they are trying to make money then wouldn’t it make sense to sell it to as many people as possible? Maybe license it out to other manufacturers too? Unless the automatic drive components cost too much, but that’s kind of hard to believe.

100 in all that traffic? It’s going to take more than self driving cars.

Does any new car cost $10,000? Hopped up golf carts and Chinese death traps don’t count.

We all know how expensive a Mercedes is, but how much do the self driving components cost? Does this really need to be limited to a high end cash burner?

This is one of the things that made Nixon fire Alvin Weinberg. He was hardly a foil hat kind of guy.

Yes that was originally the problem, and one reason Nixon was against thorium based reactors. There is debate about the bomb proof nature of thorium. Some British scientists say they can make a bomb with it:

Thorium nukes don’t need to be renewable, it’s everywhere. It’s really impressive stuff that was started in the 1960’s and then dropped because of politics and money (yay president Nixon). Here’s a mishmash of meetings and talks that do a great job explaining it:

It’s something to do with aliens, the Illuminati, genetic manipulation, and a new prototype flavor of shake-n-bake.

Realistically if immigrants in this country had decent jobs to pay taxes on there would be less complaining about immigration. 2birds 1stone?

Not sure about that. If Apple gets money from government to bring the factory to the US then it might not matter at all.

Manufacturing in the US? You mean about 300 jobs and tens of thousands of robots.

That’s weird. I thought the government was working on the premise that everyone is a terrorist and everything is a WMD.

No, the current fad is to go backwards instead of forwards. To rehash the old instead of coming up with new things.

It certainly would be more interesting if they adjusted for hate based on population. Still, California has a shit ton of people, and the hate is pretty low.
