With the CGI ability that we have, they should just create the whole thing in a computer and film the action on a blue screen stage. Much safer, and you can do some impossible camera angles too.
Jesus Christ. Yes, it's true that privacy helps criminals do crimes, but it's not like I'm going to install a camera in my bedroom so that the police know in case a crime happens to occur within the bounds of my room.
Well every once in a while we get a super genuis like R. Kelly who did.
Second, imagine some radical group in the US. posting instructions on how to hijack some planes and fly them into skyscrapers on the internet. Don't you think your FBI would shut these sites down as soon as words gets out?
In a word, no. I would expect the FBI to talk to the owner of the site, find out what is going on in the person's mind, and determin if this person is a hazard to anyone else. But the person / group has the right to say what ever they want. That's why we have these hate groups running around in the open for the most part. they can be bigots and be open about their bigotry.
As far as 'free speech' goes, the Supreme Court just allowed virtual kiddie porn (and granted the law was over reaching, effecting medical texts and other beneficial forms of expressions as well, which is why it was struck down, but I digress) to exist, and we really try not to say what can be and want can not be said, but more importantly what the social constraints of what is being said, and why (just covering my ass with the shouting of 'Fire' in a theater). This is why the 'Anarchist's Cook Book' is legal and for sale here, along with books on how to make drugs, modify guns, etc, etc, etc.
Well, this is how I would think it would work, FWIW.
The game is on a DVD disc, which has upto 18bg of storage, so the game could in effect track which textures needed for the onscreen action, and which models are needed as well. Figure an array for a few hundred items for that. From there the images can be streamed off of the DVD as needed and stored in memory.
True, _but_ you need to realize that Japan uses it's home market as a way to find out where all the bugs are in the system. They sell a lot of junk and figure out where improvements can be made before the products ever make it overseas.
So what would happen if I had posted something like this:
In My Opinion Petswhatever.com is horrible because x, y, and z.
I don't see why they would sue. Contact me and find out more about why I wrote what I wrote, but to take legal action only risks ill will and a counter suite.
Just wondering how they will make it PG-13. Tons of sex and foul language in the book should be any standards a headache (let alone the poor guy who has to re-write the book for TV).

to various IE and Windows Explorer functionality well beyond normal javascript and that is exciting.
Here are my questions as it relates to this expanded functionality access:
1) What are the differences in power between Windows Explorer Plug-ins and Sash Weblications for Windows Explorer? i.e. what can I do in one I can't do in the other. 2) What are the differences in power between Internet Explorer Plug-ins and Sash Weblications for Internet Explorer? i.e. what can I do in one I can't do in the other. 3) Since IE is cross platform with versions now for the Mac and others, will the Sash Weblications for IE be equally cross platform? 4) One of the shortfalls of Java Applets has always been the sandbox. With the Java 2 plug in that is relaxed some, please discuss the advantages of Sash Weblications with regard to Java Applets.
Can't wait to hear the responses.

Hi Jan, Sorry if it seems that we are ignoring you on your last post (we certainly read it and don't mean to be rude at all), but I guess we had nothing constructive to respond with. Clearly the sash team strongly feels there is a market for something like Sash and we are finding many folks outside and inside IBM that agree with us... but then we *are* terribly biased;-)
One thing that may interest you that we are working on is a fusion between sash and a jvm.. this is no where near ready for public viewing yet, but will eventually allow mixing and matching between java and javascript code in a weblication, a unified security model, but with all the desktop integration and other system services sash currently enjoys.
Finally I can assure you that the sash team is alive and well, although somewhat consumed building a family of killer applications using sash for our intranet.
Kindest regards, Sean

Pfft. Sure, right, and I bet you think black NSA/CIA helicopters are following your every move.
No, they don't, nor am I that screwed up. I say this because I've been around the gaming industry for a 'while'. Half of my friends have worked for either Sega, Sony, or Nintendo.

How to program in the first place? I really can't imagine Senator Byrd (D-WV) and Senator Alan Simpson (R-WY) going at it over algorithms and what has better garbage collection utilities, C# or Java. My god, talk about gridlock...
Execpt that 90% of the reviews are bought and paid for by the game companies, the other 10% are just raving fan muttering about how great this version is. Objectivity is not something that I have ever seen in the game press.
IANAL - but you'd think that if the law is followed to the letter then: Any employee's after work hobbies, be it writing a novel, painting, or playing music, etc. etc. etc. becomes property of the company they work for. Begin a group of class action suites against the employees of companies, demanding the rights from their hobbies. Sit back and watch the law change so damn fast...
Let's face it, ICANN stinks like an outhouse in August. Does anyone know how to get in touch with Mr. Auerbach so I can offer my assistance? It's time to act.
And if someone put some thought about how the setting up of the.sex domain would work even fewer problems would arise from abuse like cyber-squatting on TM names.
That Australian guy who use to run the domain for AU who got the boot a while back - I now know why he was a royal pain in the ass, and I agree with him now 100%.
The internet is designed to route around problems, so why haven't we routed around ICANN yet? ICANN was designed to give legitimacy to the way the net is run, and the only way that they could have done that was to spend money. As soon as money entered the picture politics followed. Get rid of both and start from scratch with a better designed and built system. One where democracy rules, where the law is applied equally to both big companies and the little guy. Just a side point, what would it take to replace the 13+ root dns servers?

There is 3 types of code:
Bad code - which doesn't work.
Good code - which gets the job done.
Elegant code - which can grow as the needs change.
It is very very hard to write elegant code, and does require quite a bit of forthought, insight, luck and insanity to get it right.
