That's ok, Engadget, we don't have to pretend. We all know it's only guys who accomplish this kind of engineering magic.

It's very ironic that while you so keenly attack a stereotype, you splendidly reinforce another one: that German's are so goddamn politically correct it's not even funny.

Seriously, I know and appreciate German people quite a lot… except when they inevitably say one of the following:
- That joke is sexist/racist, I cannot accept with it, and I won’t even do you the honour of a smile.
- Germany sucks. Being German sucks. We all suck so much I want to kill myself.

THAT explains the beautiful well-aranged flowers, er, scenery, and the total lack of half-decent gameplay mechanics that don't belong on a cellphone game.

Also the shopping-list-style side quests that take up the 80% of the time before any violence.

Guess I'll have to keep looking - the cooking minigame is BOUND to be in there somewhere!

Hopefully it will make uploads 60x faster. I am stuck with 20Mbit down and 1Mbit up.

Rightnow 100Mbit down and 10Mbit sounds amazing to me!]]>Jul 16th 2008 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/photonic-breakthrough-could-mean-60x-faster-internet-speeds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/photonic-breakthrough-could-mean-60x-faster-internet-speeds/Jul 16th 2008 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/photonic-breakthrough-could-mean-60x-faster-internet-speeds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/photonic-breakthrough-could-mean-60x-faster-internet-speeds/

They still have dial-up and consider 256Kbit and 512Kbit "Broadband" in Australia.

So basicly it can mean 60x dialup or 60x256Kbit!! ]]>Jul 16th 2008 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/photonic-breakthrough-could-mean-60x-faster-internet-speeds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/photonic-breakthrough-could-mean-60x-faster-internet-speeds/Jul 16th 2008 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/photonic-breakthrough-could-mean-60x-faster-internet-speeds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/photonic-breakthrough-could-mean-60x-faster-internet-speeds/so id say its more like 60 x 24Mbit]]>Jul 16th 2008 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/photonic-breakthrough-could-mean-60x-faster-internet-speeds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/photonic-breakthrough-could-mean-60x-faster-internet-speeds/

They are offering dial-up and calling 256kbit and 512kbit "Broadband"


Although you can get 30Mbit cable internet in places such as Sydney and Melbourne, there are still companies offering dial-up and calling 256Kbit broadband.

The 60x dial-up was a joke! ]]>Jul 16th 2008 11:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/photonic-breakthrough-could-mean-60x-faster-internet-speeds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/photonic-breakthrough-could-mean-60x-faster-internet-speeds/

There are many, many groups working on PICs around the world and this is but a small piece of the puzzle when it comes to making a full PIC-based network.
