The map's creator probably just wanted something eyecatching. There's really no other explanation. It's always disappointing to see a well-reasoned argument go by the wayside because of vanity or stupidity.
Why would the districts be divided by way of Phi spiral though? There isn't any explanation given, and it wouldn't make sense from a geographic perspective. Especially in the middle of the Rockies, wouldn't the sensible thing be to divide the districts along natural boundaries, like almost all of the world does?
A Synergy+ setup would be good, too. Using a single wireless KB and mouse for several systems is a major hassle-reducer.
It's based on a comic, isn't it? Makes you wonder what other interesting stuff's being produced under the radar over there.
"Robots will do it" doesn't consist of a plan, in my estimation. One interesting consideration is whether the moon would even have the necessary concentration of rare earth metals to create solar panels in the first place, though. Still, even as a ridiculous thought experiment by untalented buffoons, this is especially unimaginative.

I believe that the interconnected nature of mainstream (especially DC and Marvel) comic books contributed greatly to their current situation. I'm not a big manga guy, but I read the better titles, and that's kind of impossible to do with any serialized comic book. If I have to know who the hell the Blue Beetle is, or that Magneto secretly went to a parallel universe in X-men but then came back to help Spider Man and Iron Man defeat the Hulk after killing his own zombie clone etc. etc, I start to feel a little out of my depth. It's like those soap operas that have run for like a billion years based on their revolving cast. There's no right time to get in, you're always missing something.
Manga, on the other hand, are mostly independent of one another, and that works to their advantage. If I want to start reading Naruto (unlikely), I can go back and pick up issues 1-however many of Naruto, and with a day and a half of reading, I'm all caught up. I don't have to have read issues 3-5 of One Piece, 9-12 of Death Note, 29 of D.Gray-Man and 73 of Bleach in order to know what's going on. Graphic novels are similar in that regard. I know what I'm getting, and it's easy to get it all. That's all I'm asking for, really.
The comic book format is solid, there's no denying that, and when used correctly it tells a story just as well as any other medium. However, if appreciating the biggest titles, the ones everyone knows about, require the kind of encyclopedic knowledge only a loser can accumulate, ALL comic books will naturally be shunned as the sole domain of those losers.
Why do all these evil badass asassin girls even bother going to school? It's like a bizarro world where murdering people gets a slap on the wrist, but the truancy cops, now THEY'RE scary.
I don't see how Verizon having the spectrum makes 700mhz any less viable as a "third pipe." It's not like the first and second pipes are run by charitable, egalitarian companies either.
Oh cool, I've been waiting for this for a while. For those that don't know, this actually came out in Japan ages ago as the Scythe Kamarack.
Well come on, they're counting EVERY PetZ *shudder* game as a single whole. Considering they crap one of those out roughly once every ten seconds, in stark contrast to Prince of Persia's three in however many years, this doesn't surprise me at all.
I don't know, I think she would have looked cooler with robes and a real scythe. When you start sexualizing DEATH, you're really starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel. In fact, it would be kind of neat if part of the whole story is that she and her father emphasize being somber and rigid about the whole thing, while other characters have different opinions about death and dying.
My dad has all of them, actually. Apparently he never had the DIY drive that compelled everyone else to take theirs apart.
