These only use a single sensor (for a single location, can use many with one base station for multiple points tracking), I've used them for motion tracking and they seem pretty accurate to me. I'm not sure what you consider reasonable range, but considering the Razer system is supposed to be used with a PC, I'm guess you're not counting in the 10s of metres. This system has an optional source which can get you 5 metres of accuracy from the base station.
These are quite expensive (in the thousands of pounds sterling) so would be interesting to see how Razer managed it on the cheap.
I've never seen this happen in the 25+ hours I've played Left 4 Dead 2, if it pops up saying you need to login again just shift-tab back to the game.
Otherwise, set Steam to offline mode before starting L4D2, that could help (only single player and LAN play available). Good luck, great game and wouldn't want you to miss out!
If you watch live television, you are supposed to pay for a TV license. This includes on DVT or other digital television receivers plugged directly into a PC (it's a television reception license rather than the physical television object license, which does actually mean you can have a TV that's unable to receive broadcast television and not have to pay the license). Iplayer is more tricky due to the ability to stream the live BBC channels, but certainly watching the recorded shows (playback later/catchup tv) is fine without a TV license.
"The result is often that those who carry out online or casual work do so for surprisingly low rates of pay, with no job security or protection from unfair terms and practices," an employment lawyer told PC Pro.
As these are essentially individual contracts that are not amended at any point, it is easy to see the trade you are making (your time for their money). Although these deals may be bad ones, noone is forced to accept them and so accepting and completing these bad deals is entirely up to the individual. If someone values their time at this low amount, let them!
It has also had a lot more media coverage and been hyped greatly, and it's quite likely the marketing budget was larger too as Apple is touting it as the 'next big thing'.
This may lead to more sales even if the product isn't any better.
Tried the steam versions? It's pretty cheap on there and surely will run natively (otherwise I'd imagine they'd get a lot of complaints).. in fact.. I'm gonna go check now:)
Initial 'h' is actually dropped considerably more frequently in UK English than US English; e.g. "an 'istoric event" in British but "a historic event" in American.
I think you must have only been speaking to cockney geezers from the 30s or watching too much Oliver Twist.. "shine your shoes guv"
The majority of the rest of us pronounce Hs almost always and this is often played on for laughs when someone is imitating a 'posh' English speaker.
Not only this, but Mass Effect 2 for PC was out 4 days before release, entirely cracked and working, rending ALL the effort that went into the DRM scheme useless even on day 1, annoying SOLELY for the legal purchaser.
...This is ridiculous!!
Check out a torrent site for confirmation on this, s'all true.
IQ is more a measure of your 'working' memory and capacity to quickly understand new topics, it doesn't necessarily to what a person would call 'intelligent'. Allegedly GWBush was has a fairly high IQ (well at least 120+) yet, outwardly at least, he may not seem it.
I'm not sure you technically *are* a criminal if you've just obtained a copy of a film without paying, only if you're uploading during your p2ping are you actually illegally distributing copyrighted material. I'm not sure if there is a law against just having a piece of media without authorization, though if someone more enlightened does know, please respond.
"For instance, I am currently part of an email conversation with a prominent FOSS community member who has been pilloried who is hurt and baffled that I (or anyone else) could apply the word "sexism" to them. Their reasoning? They did not intend to be sexist, so therefore they can't possibly be. Therefore, labelling their behavior as unacceptable is unfair, they argue. The fact that, in context, their actions and remarks could not possibly be described in any other way honestly does not seem to have occurred to them. No matter what I say, they remain hurt and baffled -- and, like so many, deeply in denial."
The version of sexism as I see it(and I'm guessing most people in the UK/western world) is sexism *is* an intentional chauvinistic attitude, http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=sexism and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexism are the main things I am looking at right now. I can see that sexism may technically mean "the belief or attitude that one gender or sex is inferior to, less competent, or less valuable than the other", but this would mean that their intentions would be very important into determining what is meant. Using an emotionally charged word like that to describe someone without defining it would hurt most people, there is no reason to be surprised here.
I believe there might well be some bias in the FOSS world against women (although I've never encountered it due to working on fair few projects) and this should be rallied against (it's just foolish to be biased and helps noone, the project would suffer from fewer contributors), but labelling it sexism places it close to "women should be in the kitchen" thinking in my mind and is unproductive and will lead to defensiveness and even resentment from the male community for being labelled as such. It seems as if the author can't understand why someone might be hurt by being labelled a sexist.
In all, this doesn't seem to be very objective or useful reporting and is purely to get clicks and links onto his site and stir up some debate. In my opinion.:D
So does that mean we'll finally get Tron-esque glowing computer parts?!..I'm guessing it depends on the energy level of the photons and the frequency they are released.. but please let them be a soothing blue:)
In all seriousness, this sounds excellent, good job guys.
Ah yes because that is the sole thing I (and the 'average consumer') use my computer for, checking my email.
I can see for a certain group of people #2 would be a fine choice, but I don't think that group is large enough to be considered the average consumer.
Also it appears that the laptop + tether option's price isn't taken into account, it'd bring it broadly into line with #1s pricing.

It's actually amazingly useful, when I did it my MP replied directly to me, sent my email on to Gareth Thomas, Minister of State at the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform who sent me a lengthy response explaining the matter. This hopefully helped educate my MP as they had to do some research into copyright law, as well as ensuring they know it's on voters minds.
Made me feel a little less powerless anyhow.

Not from a magnetic field from any reasonable distance, not by itself, liars.
You need a whole slew of additional sensors to even get close to such accuracies.
The Polhemous Liberty and other devices have been around for a while now and offer 0.03" accuracy with 6DOF: http://www.polhemus.com/?page=Motion_Liberty

Ah they use an automatic scripted DosBox hack.. well it works well enough!

Doesn't bring Google profit? With a 30+% market share that sounds unlikely. Could you please cite your source on that?

Isn't there a "large Icons" selection?
Just hold control with the desktop selected and scroll the mouse wheel up.. voila! Changable icon sizes (in Vista and 7)
