One thing to note, LL Bean has had a similar business model for a very long time. My parents used to write down an order on a piece of paper pulled out of a catalog, send it away, wait a while and get clothes back. Returns were hassle-free. They are forward thinking so they've switched to ordering from the internet, but effectively the same process.
I work at a school, and am looking to download a HD version of the swearing in / speech / anything else interested & related (I've already got a few other inaugurations)
I want to project them on our big auditorium screen (so, the better the resolution and less flash videoish the better) and also hand them out to teachers on DVD for use in class.
Go to the Bowery Ballroom, man. It's got a better sound system, booths you can smoke pot in, and they sell their tickets through ticketweb.com. Much less ass raping than ticketmaster.
Don't just rebuild them. Make them bigger. So, This attack was iconic, destroying our symbols of prosperity? We'll give them symbols. Make one huge building. Make it bigger than the towers in Kuala Lumpur. Make it a Gigantic Sky Cock ass fucking the Sky into submission. We're like that Guy from Monty Python on smack. Oh yeah? You want to blow our shit up? We'll just rebuild it, twice as big! Fuckers!
Deal with it? That's like saying, "Hey, Your house is on fire. You could call the fire department and they could try and put out the fire. But, you know, Houses burn down all the time. Deal with it."
I think the best way to 'deal with it' is by working to prevent it.
Rendering realistic cloth movement might be tough, but the CG industry has already perfected rendering pure and unadulterated evil in humanoid form. Witness Jar-Jar Binks.
The story was posted around 9:30am EST and it's only 11:30am. All the good drug users won't be up for a couple of hours now. So I'm going to wait a couple of hours for the insightful comments.
The advantage of AIM over ICQ is that if you know any non-computer literate individuals (read: non-geek girls), and you want to talk to them over the computer, then you're probably going to have to use AIM. Lots and Lots of people have AIM. Less people have ICQ. Of course, ICQ does have the attractive feature of making typing noises when you type, which is necessary.
The Visual Effects category _is_ an award for technical wizardry. They already have another category for good movie making, that one is called 'Best Picture'
Alright, The actually act of taking something that wasn't originally filmed and adding it post-filming is not a new technology.
However, Adding a semi-believable character in post-filming is new. Having an entire battle scene comprised only of computer generated characters and making it look _good_ is new.
Both the Phantom Menace and the Matrix have good effects. But Episode 1 has groundbreaking effects, and all of them are visually stunning. The Matrix was an _amazing_ movie, but its effects were just a compliment to the great story, and weren't a reason to go see the movie. The Phantom Menace could stand alone on its eye candy. (As someone else stated, If you're impressed by the camera spinning around effect, Go watch a GAP commercial, Or go rent Wing Commander, that was a good movie, right?:)
The difference is CGI is a little more 'advanced' than an animated character. Jar Jar Binks was created entirely on a computer, and made to become a part of the scene. It was obvious was Roger Rabbit was a cartoon hanging out with a bunch of people. As long as you suspended your disbelief, It was less obvious that Jar Jar was computer animated.
While I expect the Verant version of Star Wars to be more akin to a MUD (Hack n' slash) than a MUSH (Roleplay orientated) there are plenty of Star Wars MUSHes out there for those who are more interested in the story aspect of the Star Wars than waiting around for the Obi-Wan respawn so you can kill him and get the +3 Force cloak.

You are in grad school and have three kids. When were you planning on playing video games?

Anyone got anything going on?
But compared to say, blackjack or craps, the lottery has terrible, terrible odds. Therefore, a tax on people who are bad at math.
The Catholic Church also told me that I wasn't allowed to masturbate, so I don't feel to worried about these kids' freedom of speech.
1998 called, they want their jokes back.
It looks like the ITER research facility in the US will be located at princeton. http://www.pppl.gov/news/pages/Iter_0704.html

Just a clarification, Newark Airport's designation is EWR, not NWK.
Excellent! Nothing would make the Giant Sky Cock more intimidating than some gigantic fucking missiles poking out of the side! Ha!

It also became a bad case of shitty music.

That was a pretty good troll, I almost fell for it.
There are large amounts of Dreamcast commercials on TV, wow. If I have to see one more CGI Randy Moss, I'm going to shoot something.

Personally, I use both.
Also, Wasn't Douglas Adams involved with that project? That makes any game better.
Don't worry, My Katz-o-meter didn't go off once during your article, I mean, You didn't even use the word 'Post-colombine'.
Who's that Dragon in the upper right hand corner there? Maybe someone could hook up her and the Mozilla mascot. I hear that guy is quite the loner.
Shortly after Gene Siskel mentioned that Titan AE was good, He said, "Brraaaaaiinns, I thirst for Braaaiiiiinnns."
