I'm not an expert as far as MMO terms are but here goes...
You could try an Zelda style instance dungeon. Zelda has quests where a monster is causing grief for the villages and lives in a nearby dungeon. You go into the dungeon, solve a few problems, kill a few baddies and defeat the boss monster.
When you come out of the mountain, the people are happy and tend to thank you for saving their village. Different quests are opened up and new items are available, However you can return to the dungeon at any stage and play through it again, but the effects of your request remain completed in the game world.
I guess this could be a possible solution to online persistent worlds vs replayablility
This reminds me of numerous puzzles in the Legend of Zelda series of games. What next? Targets obscured by spinning disks that you have to hit with arrows three times?
For the initial UK release of Martin Handford's book in 1987, he titled the character "Wally". The "Where's Waldo" trademark was adapted for 28 countries. In addition to language translation, each franchise gave a new name and personality to the character. He became Charlie in France, Walter in Germany, Holger in Denmark, Willy in Norway and Hetti in Sri Lanka & Goa. Waldo can also be found in Japan. In Israel, Wally got renamed as Effy, and was a huge success at the time of its release. However the most successful of the franchises, even surpassing the original "Wally" brand, was the North American adaptation, "Where's Waldo?"
I'm really surprised someone hasn't posted this already, but use Firefox and the NoScript plugin.
It blocks all ad content from being downloaded, I use it to speed up my horribly slow internet connection.
Do you know how many natural toxins are present in vegetables?
This reminds me of a young woman who claimed that marijuana can't be dangerous since it comes from a plant. She thought that only humans can create poisonous substances.
I'd love to meet her when heroin is explained to her.
By the time you get to code review and test, you should be catching logic errors, not stupid syntactical and poor code style ones. If the tool helps a developer clean up and catch the obvious stuff, then testing can be much more productive catching the real problems.
I worked on a software project a while ago and was tasked with finding problems caused by some previous developers.
Buy using these tools, I found code with "mistakes" which, more than often led to the stuff that wasn't obvious and would have only been found by chance.
While these tools wont catch the "Serious" problems, they can lead to the poor code where these problems usually live
It might not be an answer to the unaccounted for "dark matter", but every now and then a astrologist comes forward and says there should be more mass in the universe but is not large enough to be explained by "dark matter". This "dust" could possibly be an answer to some of those theories.
And with Flash being closed-source I highly doubt that we will see improvements made quickly and Gnash the free flash player is barely usable though it is improving.
Didn't Adobe open up the specs to the Flash Protocol a few years ago, or am i prematurely optimistic?
Depends.. the IJ trailer was good. Many other trailers give away the whole movie making me have no interest in seeing it. I find this way too much in comedies. I had the twist in "The Island" given away by an aggressive ad campaign, ruined a good movie to a point.
Also "Deja Vu"'s Ad made me think it was something else that was actually a better idea than the actual movie. I hate that
Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I do wonder whether this is another "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" tactic. Or at least an attempt by MS to create a "view" of Linux that it can control, perhaps in a way that is unflattering to Linux.
I'd say its more along the lines of "Linux Computers are doing too successfully as Servers, but well make Windows Desktops able to communicate with them so users won't have to change to Linux desktops and we loose market share.
One of Microsoft's biggest successes, is having people use Office + Windows at work, then having them buy (or copy) Office + Windows at home. Its a effective lockout of the competition.
MS Operations Manager 2007 is probably Microsoft's way of keeping as many people using Windows Machines at work (then at home...). Microsoft isn't going to lie on its back and let Linux take over a good source of income.
P.s. Sorry about the grammar. I'm coming off a 5 day coding binge, i think it's called work (current Uni Student)
But "Bad Taste" is in that so horrible it's actually good category.
Looking past the bad acting and slow start, I have to say i really enjoyed that one possibly more than some of the garbage Hollywood seems to dump on us lately.
A 30 Gig iPod transfer is a little harder to catch than a torrent and only takes about 30 minutes. These kids aren't dumb. They know how to slide into the shadows out of view. The RIAA isn't making P-P go away. It's returning to sneakernet. In spite of the sneakernet, P-P seems to have little decline. Too bad they haven't figured out the product is too expensive for their intended market.
My first few albums were CD's copied to tape for me to play at home or in the car. I got more albums then than i have from P-P in the last few years. I have managed to buy these albums recently, but that's only because they were $10. To be honest, most albums i've bought have been inspired by those albums (i.e. Interpol -> Joy Division) i first received from my friends. Advertising cannot buy that.

Actually that'd be great for nerd kudos

I'll enjoy watching this pan out

You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads!
why do I keep on thinking this is the name of something in Futurama?

Whooosh!
I apologize, after watching that I promise to never throw around the word "horrible" again so lightly!
I intended to say that Bad Taste was so bad it was good, that clip was so bad i no longer wish to watch movies
But "Bad Taste" is in that so horrible it's actually good category. Looking past the bad acting and slow start, I have to say i really enjoyed that one possibly more than some of the garbage Hollywood seems to dump on us lately.
Well we have a rather bad immigration system, but we are not cruel enough to force immigrants to put up with our politicians :P
