So, yeah, this stuff is basically banned for use by Military personelle.

If you get shot and die while wearing this stuff, the US Government will not pay your family your death benefit...that's how serious they are about our soldiers NOT using this stuff.

It goes beyond ring failure, apparently the composites/binders/adhesives in use have a very discrete shelf life that, when exceed, reduces the armor's ability to stop projectiles significantly.

They're issuing ceramic composites made by a company called Point Blank, I forget the exact model #, made up the road from me here in Florida.

(Bro-in-law is a Law Enforcement Armorer/Gunsmith/Cop and talks endlessly about the business)

Common sense.

They're speaking about the weak selection of games for the "core gamer" which is to say, a "non-casual" gamer.

If that game selection sounds cool to you, you obviously aren't a serious gamer, 'cause there's not one thing on there that would warrant a console and software purchase to me.

I'm glad you like the Wii and that it works for you, tho.

I hate engadget's comment system.

This "The popular perception is that PS360's are bedroom consoles for teenage boys." is total and utter bullshit.

I think you should supply a source from a reputable polling service indicating that there is a public opinion even remotely close to that.

FYI, the average gamer's age has risen to be almost 30 years of age, kind of throwing that whole "bedroom consoles for teenage boys" thing right out the window.

The NES, SNES, SEGA(anything), PS1, N64 and arguably the Xbox and PS2, could be classified as "bedroom consoles", but this current gen has transcended (to use a funny word in this context) from being a simple gaming device to being a media integration device/service.


So, grats on being so aged and mature, the rest of us "teenage boys" will keep on playing our (almost) state of the art consoles on our big TVs in our living rooms, you know, when we aren't watching a Blu-Ray movie or streaming high-def video for the family's enjoyment.

Ass.

No, he's right. No matter what the man says, Jobs be Praised, the iPod touch and iPhone really AREN'T good gaming systems, for real gamers.

For real handheld gaming, see: PSP, DS, et al.

^^ What the Invader said.

None of these phone's keyboards really compare to the perfection (In size and layout) that is the G1's keyboard.

(coloring and bad visibility aside)

The 800MHz ARM11 is such a bandaid fix/battery eater...

Bring on the next real generation of Android devices, please!

(I'll take an HTC, I heart me some HTC)

Something is very wrong with your phone if contacts that you entered on your phone are not being pushed to your gmail contacts, and the sync is over-writing them.

when you don't want two things to stick to eachother, a film of vaseline is perfect to serve as mold release.

Or masturbation, whatever.

lucky for them none of the rooms were constructed out of mirrors, eh?!

That'd be one hell of a way to screw with something like this.
