And if giant alien Sponges attack (square-panted no doubt) we will be amply prepared to repell them. Of course imparting a skin temperature of 54 degrees C in the middle of the desert day is more likely to cool the crowd than over heat them.
Hang on. Are you telling me I can't cash out my First Life dollars whenever I want to? Geee-zuz! Extending that logic, there are a few elite at the top of the FL pyramid scheme that are syphoning out FL dollars whenever they want to. Wonder what it all buys in the end?
But they are just crappy implementations one layer up the stack! We need more flexibility damnit! I want the source code for the physics engine, THAT's what I want!
Hey I am still having problems running First Life. I mean the resolution and refresh rate I am getting is AWESOME, but maintenence on my avatar is disturbingly difficult. It takes weeks to modify the look of my avatar (many users have reported a similar problem), and all my support queries to the Developer seem to be piped to/dev/null.
And not ONE cheat code has surfaced yet. I ask you!
Being a paper-sniffer I just can't see a future for this. Every book has its own unique sweet smell of wood pulp made laminate - unless you can reproduce that via an olfactory plugin to the digital device, I would rather lug the tomes around thanks very much.
Do Something Different. I am starting to lose interest in games after playing for 25 years now (dear old Hungry Horace). The reason is that I have played it all before...
Just another machine for Skynet to employ in its war against humanity - oh has Hollywood taught the millitary nothing!!!! (and yes I know I am mixing machine-driven doomsday titles...)
Yet another notch on the bedpost of wasted time labelled as research. Besides the fact that a 2-year old with a basic spreadsheet and the appropriate data could reach the same conclusions, I humbly propose that nobody really cares.
Hold China to the standards here in the West? By that you obviously mean:
1. Being a war power is good (being able to engage 'enemies' on a worldwide scale to suit your needs is better)
2. Trade bicycles for cars (how could they! I mean the West is predominantly bicycle commutering isn't it??)
3. Grow parts of the economy for maximum profit without respect for the long-term effects on the environment etc(Hmmmmm - let's see how fast the Arctic can melt while the West continues to pump out C02)
I think you will find China is on more of a level playing field with the West than you would like to believe...
"Its many features include compartments for emergency morphine and salt, a knife and emergency light." Now just add one for slices of lemon and a canteen of tequilla...ole
It will probably find sequences that make human flesh so tasty to predators that evolution sorted them out millions of years ago. It's all a ruse - MacDonalds is funding this research - McSoylent Green, McSOYLENT GREEN!!!!!!!
Maybe the chemistry doesn't compute, but that doesn't mean the muppets weren't going to try it anyway. Not sure how keen I would be to fly on a plane with something smouldering and sputtering away in the toilet (well something other than the usual suspects)...

Just send the whelps to play outside where the perverts are easily identifiable as the guys in the playground offering around sweets.
Just another inbred lizard.
Design flaw was the wings dropped off when it got a fright - which was when it first leapt from the trees. Ouch! Evolution pulls a nasty one!
Methinks that's taking backward compatibility a bit too far.
Personally I would preserve the original 'Prince of Persia' for our millenial descendants to enjoy, nothing else.
Best to retrieve it before China shoots it down I guess.

What? stop looking at me like that!
Hell - medium-term exposure to Robin Warren's homepage background art could give you an ulcer!
Btw, I think I inadvertently copied their experimental technique over Christmas when I polished off a large Stilton...
Most teenagers and young 20 somethings worth their salt surely still pirate their games???
What is the world coming to?

Of course technically a laptop screen is also a flexible plastic (albeit not quite as flexible) - old tech I tell you...

Damn. Missed my cab ride home again...
Everybody knows Christmas is the season to celebrate the Baby Cheeses. It's move to the internet is inevitable.
