Now, I *would* like to see augmented reality applied to board gaming. Something that combines the tactile experience of playing with wooden pieces, with the convenience of computer gaming.
The Tegra demo from a while back comes to mind. Integrating that in with a miniatures game of some sort would be interesting.
If it's the NSA losing the data than it's a feature for the public; illegal domestic spying considered.
Don't worry, I'm sure they'll have that covered...
However, there are currently no security standards for cloud computing, and until such standards have been developed, and used effectively to measure provider services and enforce accountability, any failures will fall on the agency's in-house IT organization
Is this funny? Or do people just chime in with whatever enters their head but is actually not funny? Serious question.
Well you can't just say "first post" anymore, you'd get modded down instantly. So you have to think of something in the.7 seconds before you lost the first post spot. So yeah, probably is the first thing that came to mind.

Now you reply and collect the "holy over-analysis batman" karma:-)
The rate for a 30-year mortgage is around 5%,' Lee said. 'Why should anyone have to pay 8.5%?
Because if you default on the mortgage, they can take your house. Education repossession technology is still in beta. Even when it works it and rarely returns anything of value.
Definitely does fit in the current political climate, complete with just making stuff up left and right.
Opponents of net neutrality rules say there have been few examples of broadband providers blocking or slowing traffic.
So what's the problem with restricting if if there have only been "few examples" of it?
In light of the growth and innovation in new applications that the current [regulatory] regime has enabled, as compared to the limited evidence demonstrating any tangible harm, we would urge you to avoid tentative conclusions which favor government regulation
So what do they consider tangible harm and what's the evidence of it being "limited"? The article and letter could use about 15 [citation needed] tags. I can't seem to find anything to back up the "could slow investments in broadband and slow minorities' access to telemedicine, distance learning and other services" either.
Democrats, including U.S. President Barack Obama, have generally supported new rules that would prohibit broadband providers from selectively blocking or slowing Web content
It's okay, they still think the Internet is just the web.
The interview doesn't exactly alleviate those concerns either:
You could play through a mission as a stealth role, and then play through it again as a combat role and get a new experience that way. You may also want to replay a mission because you didn’t get the highest level of rating on that mission.
So if you got a bronze the first time through, you might think, “Well, it’s fun to have the bronze, I can go on and now do the missions that that bronze level unlocked me, but I might want to go back and redo it through the silver rating or even the gold rating
Not exactly something I'd focus on when trying to hype up a game.
If this is a discovery then why did I learn about this in my electromagnetics class I took a semester ago? And why did I have to work on problems with magnetic circuits if this phenomenom wasn't discovered yet?
Clearly you have never worked in an environment when one boss has several personalities, they change several times a day, and each one contradicts what the last one just said.
Now that you mention it, I have had a few bosses that looked awfully similar...
Chin up, your situation can't be all that bad. I noticed you referred to "boss" in the singular. It only gets rough when multiple bosses say conflicting things that all must be correct. Then you have to start redefining words.
The line between factors isn't always so clear. You can ask "who's your favorite musician?" and your answer could be "Kanye West". Now is that something you know ("Kanye West is my favorite musician") or something you are ("a douchebag")?
this is really a push to create Blizzard's own digital distribution network, similar to Valve's Steam.
It'll be nice to see some competition. Having one company control the distribution channel will cause issues over the long term when they get too comfortable. Blizzard's one of the few publishers that has the weight to compete.
I doubt they'd be quick with the friends list integration though. Third party tools will probably pop up long before.

And you thought buffer overflows were scary before...
But correlation is causation.
No, the two are merely correlated.
Ow...

And when you default on the student loans your wages and other income gets garnished. That renders your point moot.

You thought grinding xp by combat was bad, wait until you see stealth grinding.
Follow 20 different sewer rats for 1min each without being seen.

"A high-voltage nitrogen jet is not compatible with the human body," says Takáts.
Well, I'm glad we've gotten past those experiments.

I think you know why.

Reminds me of some type of engineer to politician spectrum, with everyone viewing their position as the pinnacle.
Wow! My work is the same way! How do you think we should fix it?!
Short the stock, then you're guaranteed to win!
