Mod parent up! I agree.
In middle school (2003?) I would make programs to solve certain equations for me (Geometry and algebra, mostly), and I thought very much that it showed that I had a greater understanding of the subjects. Now I'm a sophomore in college, and I can say that the slipshod base I built myself in doing that still to this day comes back to bite me. I can find the power series solution to an ordinary differential equation, but I might run into trouble with some basic algebraic expansion. (Fortunately, because I identified this, I was able to mostly fix it, but for a while it was miserable)
I'm behind Google on the general principle, but did you actually use her Atrix at all, or instantly jump on it an customize it assuming MOTOBLUR was bad?
I've had my Atrix for a month now, and the only downside I've had with MOTOBLUR was that it has limited customizability. It runs smooth as butter, and I feel does a great job at tying together the android experience in Motorola's own way.
The virtues are really where Ultima shines. If you've never played it, essentially, you get bonuses for being virtuous, and not through silly binary GOOD/EVIL choices like most games today.
When I played UO, I was a rare collector.
Yep, a rare collector. My character was built for money making and self defense. I'd use my money to hire crews of warriors to go on live quests with me (or go myself, if I thought I could handle it) simply to get the rarest items I could. The nice thing about UO is that there were some completely unique items, and yet they were abundant enough that they weren't out of my reach. Sure there were perils, and sometimes I lost items worth many hundreds of USD to PKs, or even monsters, though I'd never have sold them anyways, but I still carried on.
In my final days of UO I owned a castle with every rare I owned locked down in it. The castle itself was open to the public as a museum.
That was my way of playing, sure it might seem lame, but no other game allowed me to express myself and play in my own unique way as much as UO.
As a sixteen year old soon-to-be-senior, I'm surprised it's taken this long for a study to realize this. No child left behind has caused me endless frustration here in Florida, where when I should be learning about classical literature, or even during classes on networking or globalization, I'm instead forced to review basic grammar in the school's hopes of preparing all students (see: low-achievers) for the FCAT (Florida's "big" standardized test).
I personally cant help you, since I'm happily using IFI_Loader and MPLAB (ok, not happily, but I can live with it ), but on the very slim chance you don't know about it, the website Chief Delphi is basically a huge forum dedicated to FIRST, a pillar of FIRST's community, and I guarantee you dozens of people there can help.;)
The new hybrid period at the beginning of the match is where we'll really get to see teams "shine" (pun intended);
You see, in the past teams usually just programed a direct control system and maybe some of the more savvy teams did some dead reckoning for an autonomous mode- Now teams are going to have to figure out just what predictive programming is, and are going to have to design their own method of conveying commands.
Personally I'm expecting the majority of teams to use IR, but as I said, some teams are going to be very clever and use something completely unorthodox, and that's the best part of the competition imho.

God forbid a manufacturer customize anything.
100 paper planes?! That's almost enough paper for a BIBLE! How dare they litter.

Dean Kamen has been presenting this thing for months now... I even got to sit in it at the FIRST Championship earlier this year. More. photos. here.
Aaaand obligatory photo of this poster driving it.
