I would prefer positive feedback instead. Say, every time you kill a baddie, the suit gently rubs your back for a few seconds. That would be a lot more motivating.
Now watch this thread deteriorate!
In *america* world, if your identity is compromised like this, people will go bankrupt very easily. That in majority of cases bring peoples life to stand still. They have to go through hell to fix the problem. He deserves what he got. Let him rot in jail.
Fixed that for you.
Dancing kitties will still be there?

How does the submitter know that the dancing kitties will still be there? Maybe there's a big fire and all dancing kitties have been burned! ONOES. Or at least, their digital representation has been burned. Still onoes I suppose.
No, that's not hard. However, I suppose you want a finer grained time resolution, like 5 minutes or so. Otherwise it would be practically impossible to determine which apparatus is causing more-than-normal energy consumption.
There already exist devices which allow you to monitor your energy consumption by monitoring the dials in your meter box. For instance the dutch http://www.enymate.nl/artikelen/enymate_lite.
Because this measures consumption by looking at the dial it is also possible to monitor gas and water consumption, and the measurements relate directly to the upcoming bill(s).

Well, the press release states "during the fiscal year ending March 2011". That's literally between April 2010 and March 2011, but the summary could have been a bit more clear. Maybe they're aiming for the holiday season of 2010?
According to TFA, they can currently make the structures as small as 200 nm, meaning that there is "only" a factor 20 difference. To make things worse, creating this "cloak" to hide a 1 micrometer object took 3 hours, so creating a cloak for Mr. Potter will probably take years, if not decades.
No, that article states for *some* countries how many percent of the total downloads come from the ballot screen (Poland 77%, Spain, Italy, Denmark over 60%)
In other words, this looks a lot like marketing with some selective data. Not that that's surprising or weird, but still.
These numbers don't mean too much, because at the time the ballot screen was introduced Opera introduced a new version of their browser as well. Probably at least part of the increase is caused by this new version, and not by the ballot screen.
However, still nice to see people trying something different.
Wouldn't it be easy if you had one card for ID, public transport, payments, building access, getting your treatment, etc?
It probably should have some kind of Chip. Now this would be perfect day!
Honest question - what kind of games are motion controls good for besides "action games"?
Bowling, fitness, golf, various other sports games? Seriously, take a look at the Wii lineup and you'll see plenty of games that could be considered action games in the widest sense but usually aren't.
Since I suppose that 133ms + delay from your screen is quite noticeable. Too bad if you're sword fighting with a friend, 133 ms can make the difference between living or having your head roll on the floor!
You never played splitscreen on - say - the NES? Ik worked quite well, even on the small tvs people had back then. Given the average gamer now probably has a 40" full HD tv, splitting that in four shouldn't be a problem at all.
Now get of my lawn.

Nor has it anything to do with fruit or one-breasted women riding horses and shooting arrows.
Well, if the salesperson is working in China it would be nice for him/her to know he's losing his job on April 10th.

Could be, but it doesn't say so in TFA. It may be *implied*, but that's not good enough in my book.
Nice to meet you, dsavi. You can remove that comment now :P

It seems you all either need new sarcasm detectors or should read "This Perfect Day" by Ira Levin.
I expected more from you, Slashdot!

Not for action games then?

However, if the launch vehicle could be reused you'd only have to send it up to the moon once, making your argument invalid.
Read the wikipedia article on buzz aldrin and you'll learn that his words were edited such that it was all very much out of context.
It's already been done in the future, by skynet.
Sounds like April fools to me...
