Cave Story does a good job of that as well. I particularly like the placement of the fifth spike in the game, since it's exactly at the point where you'll die if you don't properly grasp the floaty physics.
...that this article is baseless fantasy. Half of it's gibberish: what does "cities heated by servers," even mean? The other half ignores what's known to be possible, with the holographic projections popping out of phones within four years being the most obvious clanger. How's that supposed to work? Like in Star Wars, of course, which is to say only as a special effect in a movie.
If you're going to be using electrical heating, you might as well get some useful work out of that energy instead of just setting it on fire.
As for holographic projections, a heliodisplay isn't technically the same thing, but it looks like the ones from Star Wars, so I'll give them a pass. It isn't that difficult to project a holographic phone.
(and, particularly at the middle and high school levels, many don't, which is why they are out on the playground punching each other and being diagnosed with ADD rather than in class...)"
Where exactly are you talking about? They've cut recess down at lower levels, and out of middle school+
The man who "invented" Mickey Mouse is long dead at this point, but the Disney corporation is still profiting from the its perpetual copyright. Whom does IP law benefit? Not its creator.
Do you have any idea how much it costs to maintain someone in cryogenic suspension?
Let's say I spend some number of hours a year in lines. Statistically speaking, any given minute of my wait is more likely to be in a slower line - since by definition they'll occupy a greater percentage of my waiting time than being in the faster lines.
No, no, it's fine. Modern medicine can combine the 0.4 extra children from the average couple with the 0.6 from the towers to create a single, perfectly healthy baby.

If he wanted credit, he'd post with his username and call Americans fat and stupid. Modded +5 in no time.
Yes, but as an american he's too fat and stupid to realize that.
That reminds me of playing exposition the game, a game where you talk as if you were a character in a work of fiction explaining an unknown concept.

Look, let's just ban timothy and kdawson, and call it a day.
Depends upon the cinema, too. Some theaters have really crappily done 3d rigs (including, unfortunately, my local IMAX).
Doesn't Nintendo already have warning on gameboy game instruction manuals telling you to take breaks for your eyes every thirty minutes?
So this?

And my emotion was that I hated the smug planeteer bastards and wished they'd all have died.
Then ask where the knife came from, how they got the peanut butter out without opening the lid, etc.
Ask a librarian!
See, watch:
1) I, for one, welcome our Open Source dupe overlords, but do they run Linux?
2) ???
3) Natalie profits, naked and petrified and covered in hot grits.
Woooooooosh!

Here's a video of all kinds of animals under the influence of a psychoactive drug!

I'll leave whether it was voluntary as an exercise to the viewer.

Supercomputer competition. Unless supercomputers start high-speed drifting through Tokyo.
Don't worry, congress recently declared it Too Big To Fail
Worse than that, I think this story might be a dupe.

How about this one?
Y = X.
Y is just the sum of x ones. Y = 1+1+1+1...
The derivative of 1 is zero. The derivative of a sum is equal to the sums of the derivatives of the components.
Therefore dY/dX = 0+0+0+0...
Therefore the derivative of X is zero.
While agriculture requires backbreaking labour, hunter-gatherer societies only worked a couple of days a week.
Only thought to be the case by Europeans who didn't think that hunting was "real work".
Well, why is he aging at the same rate as the real world, instead of the same rate as the digital world?
That's old news. They stopped selling them at Best buy back in June '09.
He's generalizing from a small subset to the entire group of people.
Everyone does it.
Or at least, I do.

Isn't technology grand?
