I'm not seeing anywhere in the article (or in any other article) about the displays being color (or how many colors). I watched the milestone videos and read the ASU project site, but beyond saying flexible color displays is their goal I don't see anything that says they've achieved it.
Also, that image in the site looks like very old stock footage someone made as apposed to a demo unit. The ones shown on the site are all the size of a business card.
'out of print' by definition means they aren't making any more money on this book... which means they don't deserve money from a settlement. "We don't find value in printing this book anymore" should mean it defaults to public domain and becomes free access. Anything else sounds like just another abuse of copyright in my opinion.
Actually, spending the money on us would be stupid. Because its all loans from china and other countries who want to see us farther in debt. Balancing the economy and NOT spending money we don't have would make a hell of alot more sense than taking one massive debt generator and renaming it "for the people of america" instead of "for the people of iraq". In either case, we go bankrupt.
You seem to be a bit confused, there aren't any games out right now where crafting is required including your big example world of warcraft. Infact, WoW is so raid centric that people in crafted gear replace it by the first 10 man raid they participate in. You say there aren't any games where you don't have to craft but you are completely wrong, there are NO games where you must craft to get places left worth a damn. Its all a bunch of hack and slashers. Now, I'm not bashing hack and slash, I'm simply saying that yeah if you want to hack and slash? thats cool! Let me make the swords instead of a vendor because supporting the power gamers is more fun to me and rewarding than sitting in a raid for 5 hours a day 3 days a week. I'd rather be crafting new items.
read the article. He says there will be crafting, then goes on to day later that the game is based on loot drops and they don't think crafting matters and is below what a hero should do. Knife + spine.
Great! I'm looking forward to a new starwars game with an amazing crafting system! What kind of system will it be? Can I expect a crafter based economy, something the original SWG had but every single other MMO out there has failed at doing?
From TFA:
James Olen, Studio Creative Director: Yeah, our game is about loot.
You lying son of a bitch... it only took you to paragraphs to turn around and plant that light saber right between by shoulder blades.
You really need to avoid cutting the context out of the quotes like you have. If you only read what you want to read, don't be surprised to find only what you were looking for. Each of the butchered quotes you made have a meaning and a reason to the words and phrasing which you have purposely clipped out to make things to be something other than what they are.
The bible says "though shall not murder" not "kill". The translation from many bible versions is wrong, and has been corrected over time.
Kill != murder, there is a difference.
Well, some people just *look* young. My ex is 27 and when she went to pick up a job application she was told "you have to be at least 16 sweetie". I've been carded in movies, and I'm 25. Its not uncommon for people that are healthy to appear young.
Also, if you look at the time line for star trek, its all after a big war when we are recovering as a civilization. Even today the young are the ones who serve (at 23, you are considered an "old man" in basic training even today). Who is to say there are that many capable old soldiers left to command a starship AND run a whole fleet of them? Perhaps the oldest and most veteran are needed elsewhere, so they let the younger generation carry the front lines (also, not uncommon).
Hello mr. Constitution, my name was Paul. However, I was sued by the RIAA for infringing on their copyright of the letter "P" and now I'm known as inmate 5675. Unfortunately, God-King Bush said I also violated his copyright on free speech with my first letter so they took my Kidneys since I don't have anything left after my legs were taken for speaking against the media's word.
Actually hacking is the art of discovery and problem solving, of creating unique solutions. By your definition however, what he did was also hacking. Based on the simplest form of social engineering he utilized a built in back door to her email by answering her poorly chosen questions. Security is not about how grand and amazing the solution was that allowed someone to steal, it is about the fact that something was stolen. By example, if I stab you in the neck with a fork and you die, does it matter any less than if I shot you in the neck and killed you? Would walking into your unlocked back door and stealing your TV somehow be less of an illegal entry than if I cut a hole in the wall? The results of the action define the hack, the method defines the ingenuity of the originator. Often the simplest solution is the most effective.
a meter (from what I remember of 3rd grade) is 1.1 yards, or 3.3 feet. I'm not sure exactly, but logic dictates that 10000/3.3 != 30,400. I'm sure it was a typo... a very huge overstating typo...
"We have no f-ing clue, because we haven't been anywhere yet." There, how hard was that?
This whole guessing crap is getting old. Every time someone makes another guess at the answers to questions we don't fully comprehend someone tries to pass it off as either a fact or a great break through.
People once guessed the earth was flat and that the sun was eaten every night and regergitated every morning by great beasts. This stinks just as bad.
When it comes to space we are still learning to crawl. Lets stop stabbing the darkness and wait on the flashlight.
In ISP world, you have two types of field technicians:
Type 1: Knows the job, knows the solutions, doesn't care anymore and just wants to go home.
Type 2: Doesn't know the job, is more of a problem, and tries for overtime every day he can.
If you are lucky, you end up with a rare breed, a type 3. So rare they aren't worth mentioning, its usually only caused when a Type 1 gets lazy and doesn't buy condoms, so he volunteers for the OT that type 2 normally gets until he can get use that experience to get a better job in a different field. Cable technicians, especially when you operate an ISP, are cycled like water in a bathtub sadly.
Then please, please tell me why anyone thinks Al Gore is remotely relevant on the issue of climate change!!!
Perhaps because Al Gore has stated sources for all his information, which comes from climatologists. Unlike every bit of anti-global warming data, which is usually a non-climatologist quoting either himself or someone he knows (also not a climatologist).
Why are people so willingly ignorant to issues that could easily come to the end result of the extinction of our species? Do Oil tycoons not realize that they will DIE like the rest of us? Its not a "poor humans will become extinct" thing, its a "money won't save your greedy ass from suffocation" thing.
You don't pay for 5Mb download speeds, you pay for UP TO 5Mb speeds. There is the difference - speed is not promised.
However before we call all ISPs evil for throttling bandwidth, lets look at the facts. 5% of the userbase on average for an ISP provides for (usually) over 80% of the usage. Now, cables have a maximum capacity of bandwidth (that copper going out your wall? Yeah, theres a limit). If your ISP did not perform any form of traffic shaping you wouldn't ever reach your 5Mb speed, not even in bursts. Throttling has been going on since the beginning, have you ever bought a real router? Not the walmart linksys ones, but something on the level of a cisco 2800 or higher, they all boast a large list of features - traffic shaping is one of them for a very very good reason and has been since the beginning.
Oh, and I get my info from being the devil - aka, I manage the throttling for an ISP.
Everyone but these guys! It might seem a little crass, but when you think about it all the businesses that succeeded did so in part from the lessons learned during the "great crash". Which in many ways helped to bring the good idea makers and engineers together through the rubble to form meaningful companies and worthwhile investments from what could have been a severe slowdown for our overall progress in internet spread.
shouldn't end with you driving on cubes. The first three movies (not the "new" first three) were the best. The last 3? Not so much. Sometimes special effects on a shoestring budget are better, because you need to develop crazy things like acting, and plot.
I'll happily turn over my "nerd card" if it means erasing any reference to myself and those movies. I bet George feels the same;)
WTF are you talking about? We call him mentally retarded ON THE NATIONAL NEWS. Seriously, if "not" insulting GW is the only reason you can come up with your argument fails horridly.i
I find it entertaining that you all continue to insult people for belief in something you cannot see or prove, despite being the same people who cannot see or prove that a big explosion made existance by accident.
I believe in God, its a theory, my theory, but I do believe it. You say there is no evidence to support it. Well, you say you dont and thats fine too. What isn't fine is saying I'm stupid or dilusional when parts of science are faith (as with the big bang). "we can't prove it yet" doesn't make it science, its blind faith.
We are surrounded with things that cannot be explained, and when someone says "well, it could be god..." you accuse him of ramming a bible down your throat or being retarded. THAT however is the theoretical evidence supporting the hypothesis of God, the "little bits" that cannot be explained.
Don't get me wrong, I acknowledge the idea of evolution and even accept it to be true. However, proof of evolution does not disprove God, infact I think that it helps prove there is a god because of how structured the universe is. You cannot say why gravity works. Sure, mass density pull yeah all that but those are additional functions to the object. WHY does it work? honestly, why? What made it so that gravity functions based on anything? Why does any of it function?
In accepting the possibility of God you don't become less of a scientist, but in denying the possibility you DO show how close minded you've become. THAT is the point of the movie. You have become so close minded that you are performing the very supression that scientists fought to rid themselves of.

What is it with all this BS about the PC dying as a gaming rig? What the hell are you doing to jack the price of a PC up to $1,000 ?? ... under $500USD Shall we? ($474.42 total infact before shipping.)
Consoles are the ones that are aging. The prices keep going up while PC gaming prices keep going down. I play all my games at max graphics thusfar and still no problems, and my Monitor on my rig was the most expensive part at $300 (22inch widescreen).
