Carnage Heart is a video game for the Sony PlayStation, developed by Artdink. Its gameplay is a mecha-based, turn-based strategy game, where the player takes the role of a commander in a war fought by robots. The robots, called Overkill Engines (OKEs), cannot be directly controlled in battle; they must be programmed beforehand to behave in a certain way under certain conditions using a flow diagram system.Carnage Heart has become one of the rarest of all U.S. PlayStation titles due to limited production. The game was also plagued by poor sales and virtually no advertising. The bland graphics and steep challenge are the two reasons often given for the lack of success in the U.S. market. The rarity has not affected its online auction sale price, which is usually under US$20

The indicator I prefer is the Hot Waitress Index: The hotter the waitresses, the weaker the economy. In flush times, there is a robust market for hotness. Selling everything from condos to premium vodka is enhanced by proximity to pretty young people (of both sexes) who get paid for providing this service. That leaves more-punishing work, like waiting tables, to those with less striking genetic gifts. But not anymore.

The easiest way to tell a Real Programmer from the crowd is by the programming language he (or she) uses. Real Programmers use Fortran. Quiche Eaters use Pascal. Nicklaus Wirth, the designer of Pascal, gave a talk once at which he was asked, "How do you pronounce your name?". He replied, "You can either call me by name, pronouncing it 'Veert', or call me by value, 'Worth'."

What does that look like? I mean, these various numbers are tossed around like so many doggie treats, so I thought I'd take Google Sketchup out for a test drive and try to get a sense of what exactly a trillion dollars looks like.

MacGyver nostalgia these days "... why does MacGyver so
successfully play the muse to so many artists, writers, comedians and,
now, even mainstream products like Pepsi? And why does he still seem to
genuinely excite fans? It's simple: MacGyver was the kin
