Well, you're forgetting about the strategic angle. No nation likes to be a dependent of another nation.
Hmmm...they'll just claim Gates has WMD, invade Seattle, and free the population from the tyranny of proprietary code. Of course there will be no looting or pirating after the war.
And his argument about the original game generation getting older? Man, that's just moronic, IMO. Someone may want to let this guy know that people are still having kids, these kids are still growing up, and --- guess what? playing video games. Not only that, but more are playing these days than ever before, especially as gaming is no longer seen as a lonely geek thing with all the associated stigma of that.
Agreed and with the current co-op craze the older gaming generation is playing with the younger gaming generation (their kids!)
I like this trend because it gets parents and their children engaged in something together. Hopefully if the parents are good parents some concept of team work and sharing will develop.
Politicans tend to be lazy, just look at how many Senate votes that John Kerry has missed in the past 12 years. Something like 1000 or more a year according to Fox News.
My goodness, that makes him perfect for president. Bush Jr. beat out all the other presidents for most vacations...the previous owner of the most vacations taken was his daddy.

I can think of several uses (mostly involving outside projects.)
You're right though about internal objects. Unless it is an art house, I doubt anyone would do their bedroom with this stuff. I can just image the shadow play of the beast with 2 backs.
Of course, back in the 90s there was a all glass house in Brazil (I think) as art. A woman agreed to stay in the house for a few months. Every morning there would be a large group of villagers outside the house waiting for her to wake up.
Also, the evolution of primates does not prepare us for 'green' policies. Primates generate waste and move on.
It will be very hard for us to change our biology. Never have so many primates lived on the planet. In places that have had change, we have mostly failed to thrive. Easter Island is one example.

Of course we would, but then we'd bill them for it. Screw $1800
Paranoia is one of the few RPG games that new players do the best.
If you are a regular player, you care about your character. Newbies go for broke.
I once knew a cop that attended a Nancon convention here in Houston (back in the day) who had never played Paranoia, but threw himself into the role and won the tournament.
I always wondered if being a cop gave him an edge in that game....i.e. maybe he is a professional Paranoia player...
I was talking to my wife about the same thing over the weekend.
All countries wax and wane with the centuries. The goal of the US should be to maintain similar principles through out the ages.
Things such as the Bill of Rights should be the center of our government. If a portion of the center is damaged, we need to fix it or we will crash like the Roman Empire.
I'm not saying what the current administration has done is wrong. We elected them. We just need to kick them out ASAP.
We live in an age where tech is reducing the time it takes us to do tasks.
In other ages people had no time because life was harder. Now we have no time because we want to put ourselves before our kids.
And before anyone mods me down, you don't have to work 12 hour days any more. Developed countries have labor laws.
Spend time with your kids.
My sister-in-law doesn't. She acts like a peer with her child instead of the parent. During Christmas it was discovered that my niece stole her mother's s3x toys to play with them. She's 12 and failing school. She's not dumb, but she is very ignorant. She is a bully and the sort of person I would have disliked at her age. There are no consistant rules in her life because every new man in her mother's life is making the rules which are all different from the previous men. She hates staying at my house because the rules are firm and she can't wiggle out of them. Oh and did I mention she weighs 194 pounds. Her mother doesn't want the family to eat healthy because the other kids don't have a weight problem...the other kids are under 7...they've got energy to burn.
Getting back to the main topic of video games and ratings, My niece can tell me all the wonders of GTA3 and Vice City. Wasn't there a previous/. article about how mature titles end up in the hands of those under 17 with little difficulty?
When asked to estimate the value of the cosmic jewel, Ronald Winston, CEO of Harry Winston Inc., indicated that such a large diamond probably would depress the value of the market, stating, "Who knows? It may be a self-deflating prophecy because there is so much of it." He added, "It is definitely too big to wear!"
they cover that in the article. Basically during your life you form a 'blueprint to love' (their words.)
So if you gave the injection (which there would be at least 3 types,) you would just send the target down their roadmap to love. If you are in their path, good for you; however, if someone else meets more of their internal rankings, then you are a speed bump towards their intended target.
this was their explantion for people who seem to date the same type of person over and over again.
Hmmm...I've been thinking about this for a long time, but it finally hit me when I went over to a friends house to play. They had kids and they played D&D.
I know this is probably unheard of on/., but there are actually two sexes. We need the other sex to breed more future gamers.
(seriously) face to face gaming is the best no matter what game is being played. All of my favorite memories of games involved other people face to face. Even LAN games are the same way. I've played tons of Starcraft online, but it is the games with friends in the same room that I remember. I've played tons of dungeon hack-n-slash D&D, but I don't remember it. I do remember all the role-playing D&D games.
Maybe some Neural specialist could explain why that is....why is it easier for my mind to link memories of face to face games, but not online games.....
Anime is about the only category where there is cool new stuff. The entertainment industry of today is exactly like the auto industry of the 1970s, and the Japanese are about to buy the whole thing for about 4c on the dollar. Anime is a diamond mine of originality and creativity. There are anime series that are masterpieces of contemporary thought and literature, as well as fantastically capable demonstrations of state-of-the-art animation. Nothing else can even begin to compete. If the anime and manga shelves at Suncoast continue to expand at their current rate, there will be no Hollywood DVDs for sale there in five years.
Anime/comics. The entertainment industry already 'mines' these sources: Matrix, Atlantis, Spiderman, Hulk, etc....for the big screen.
The same thing happens to BBC shows. The entertainment industry is always looking at local stars. The problem is when they try to make it work for US they usually dumb down the show or butcher it in some other way.
Take Red Dwarf. They tried to bring that show over to the US with Terry Farrell playing cat. What were they thinking replacing a vain black male humanoid cat with a vain white female humanoid cat? Not to mention 28 days later having to have a happy ending for the US.
The problem is the entertainment industry thinks the US is a bunch of morons....
Losing privacy is not the problem. Having the data linked to individuals is the problem. Law makers need to know what their voters want.
I think anonymous stats could help to free us, but I fear data being linked to small groups like individuals.
A good example of anonymous stats is when anthropologists ask about your drinking habits and then go to the local dump to confirm the results....that you drink a ton.
The trick is to keep it anonymous, but those types of stats can show law makers what their voters really care about...
Ok, TIVO tracks their users. We knew this and I think it is a good thing. I do not mind the collection of anonymous stats. I do have a problem when it is linked to a person.

At lastly, since they only have enough money to pay people to run them for a couple months, why design a rover to last years?
From the hourly employee's point of view, milk it. Design it to last for ages and you have a cash cow.
How many mainframes from the 70s and 80s are still in use?
Also, if you gave it enough power, couldn't you tell the rover to walk to XY coordinates and then transmit back (unless you need futher instructions) Then we could land it some place safe and have it walk to the more interesting (water likely) spots and then transmit back. You don't need the staff on hand because it's all in the 'hands' of the rover.
