1. I have a medium-sized Hutt ship. I can travel between planets as it has hyperspace. I think most ships that aren't your starter (newb) ship have hyperspace capability. When you are in your ship hit the H key to toggle the Hyperspace window.
2. You can go from the starport to space. Fly back into the space station and go to a different starport on the planet. You may not travel "overland" in your ship so to say.
3. The veteran SoroSuub ship (Lando's Lady Luck style) is a multi-player ship. There is a rumor of guilds being able to buy capital ships later on. From what I can tell 'space' for each planet is about the same size as the planet but has the x,y,z coords instead of just the 2. Supposedly you can dock with other ships, I haven't been able to pull this off, I may not be a high enough level yet.
I'm hopeful that this will eventually make it into word processors like in the OpenOffice or Microsoft Office suites. Seems like the best standard faire we have is a little paperclip/dog/wizard/other nuisance asking how he can "help" make a cover letter.
Well, Archimedes discovered quite a few calculus-esque ideas such as adding up infinite slices to determine the area of something in a cube. This was of course quite some time ago. Although these different calculuses (calculii) vary quite a bit I think that some credit should also go to Archimedes.
I've been dabbling a bit so far. I haven't quite updated to 0.7 yet, however from what I've cooked up it is fairly intuitive. The API documentation is derived from the C header files nearest I can tell. With just about 30 minutes to an hour I had a terrain with some public domain tree models textured and such. I had dabbled with Ogre and CrystalSpace with limited success. Irrlicht has a very nice feature set and a pretty decent software renderer.
>> A webcam pretty much does the same thing - except you don't have avatars, you ARE the avatar.
I think a lot of the desire for these things is to still have that layer of abstraction/anonmnity between you and the people - likely strangers - of who you communicate with online. It can be an intimidating thing to plaster your face in a window with an anonymous party. Also, while this has gotten better, setting up a webcam for IM applications can be fairly non-trivial.
Acclaim was making worse and worse product. I doubt that Acclaim's fall was due too much to piracy at all. Rather, I feel that people "voted with their dollars" and were sick of seeing "Extreme BMX Blowjobs 3" and wanted some better product. These corporations making the money are largely those who purchase an idea or an implementation. They are paid for the marketing and sales which, personally, I don't feel is very innovative at all.
I've been hoping that some of these companies would do similar to what Google did (before this TopCoder) thing and issue a bounty of sorts to get these done. Perhaps the winner/winning group could get the right to develop the *n?x driver and possibly have it made into a paid over time position of sorts. As long as they pay less than they would in house + paperwork it seems both parties would make out pretty well.
I hope this is at least quasi-relevant. Just how much potential energy is there stored in nuclear waste. I've heard that there is still a lot, it is just harder (or requires too much energy input) to get as much a payoff from it.
This is one of the reasons I have been hoping for an embracing of GPL and/or similar licenses for purposes other than code. GPL'd art, music and the like. I know there have been steps in this direction but I'd like to see a full on trek down this path.:)
Is he a citizen of that country who pays taxes to help permit that to exist? The same thing here in CA that states that you can't smoke, I believe, is also part of the property area. He is on that public property, the public AP is on that public property.
The issue with this is that if steam or what-have-you is loading up the game, the game is in it's memory space you can analyse. Even making attempts to crack the encryption with a simple brute force technique would show some signs in breakpoints as to where the checking is done. All you have to do is lock down all the conditionals. I've seen this done times before with weaker encryptions like twofish in MMORPGs relatively often and with relative ease. Encryption is fine when you only have access to one node or on manner of portraying the data but not when you have the whole data loaded up with which to poke and prod.
While I think a manned mission to Mars would be a wonderful idea. I ponder if we would be able to collect enough data to see if using "greenhouse" gases to supply Mars with a more human-suitable atmosphere would also be a good long-term goal. I know that would probably negatively impact our manned missions there for quite some time until the "incubation" is well underway or finished, but I think that with what resources we've been able to find Mars may be more viable for a station or colony than mars.
GMail iirc, was still in beta. Perhaps they just figured that it was a scratch name they weren't sure if it would hold or not. Although, it does seem rather silly that they wouldn't register it, there are reasons for them not to have.
On the google cache it shows a program that could decrypt the AES on the MPEG4 streams. Maybe they just did something stupid and used the same key. Then they'd only have to take care of the wrapping.
When I go over to parents/grandparents and see them checking their e-mail on AOL and having their VCR/DVD player (lesser so DVD Player) flashing midnight, I realize just how much abstraction needs to be done for all of that to be a smooth process. The article does talk a lot about practical features and de-jargonizing the whole thing. I know they were most likely targetting the early adopters with this, but to get the highest amount of saturation they will have to make a lot of changes, some sensible, some quite radical.
The sad thing is that all these giving into fears and rampant paranoia sound exactly like things that terrorists and terrorist acts are meant to instill. Kind of a shame that such a large group of the populace ended up going right into the main plan of terrorism. In a manner, they are supporting it with near the amount (if not the vehemence) of those that contribute directly.
Agree or disagree with the argument itself, I think that it results to the fact that it is broadcast over "public airwaves." That is in that any basic receiver can pick up the transmission. This is the same as regular network television. While one would hope it would be at the discretion of the viewer/listener, apparently the FCC doesn't see it as so.
Jello had given a talk at Defcon a couple years back. What with such impositions as the DMCA and the fears we knew from the imposing UCITA and such, I think that it's good for people to learn a lot more awareness and advocacy of the socio-political aspects that are ever so becoming a part of our hobbies/jobs. I've had positions that required a bit of reverse engineering of competitive product, within the confines of the law of course. These limits are becoming ever diminishing. How long will it be before people are unable to do their job out of fear of breaking an injust law? Jello's discussion about becoming the media and keeping up awareness are incredibly pertinent, especially now with the relative cheapness of bandwidth and higher storage capacities to be able to propogate news. The negative publicity shown from the Philidelphia march a few years back was caught on a webcam if I recall and put online which resulted in at least one major news station issuing a retraction. That is what I feel is the importance of Jello's talks at HOPE.
I know this perhaps sounds silly. Could someone perhaps keep bouncing messages off the MTA and using the signed messages from that to try to decrypt the cipher and such? If a system is compromised (i/e: with a virus/worm) couldn't the technology be defeated via that as well? Signing messages like that sounds like a good idea but when you have weaker links or loopholes that aren't readily being fixed or are being ignorant by apathetic admins how does one handle that?

but does netcraft confirm it?

The really sad thing is at first I thought this was a reality show to find someone to live in a living room.

Crappy graphics, horrid networking, beyond shitty "multitasking" are they repackaging NT 4? :)
