I share your concerns 100 percent. I'm also worried about the effect this will have on my guild and non-PvP play on my server. We're just now getting into a rhythm with Molten Core, often with our entire guild online and in the same instance. What will happen if half the members decide they prefer PvP and eventually battlegrounds? We'll have to rebuild two groups again or convince people to commit to a 6-night run at MC. Meanwhile I'm at work during the day and everyone else is building up their PvP stats towards better equipment...which I'm still lacking.
No, it's not necessary to move to the city (although I don't understand why you say that's suffering). Instead, people should work out in the areas where they live. It's about balance, and commuting is not a scalable solution - despite what these technophiles suggest with their inventions. If you dislike the city so much, why work there? If it's just about the money, that's sad.
One current problem is that people want to LIVE in rural areas even if their jobs are URBAN, and this is a selfish position. I live near where I work and feel my quality of life is better without the traffic congestion, and so have traded the bigger home for the ability to walk to a bus stop.
However, I am tired of the heavy traffic around my neighborhood as commuters race down our side streets trying to get to their suburban homes faster. They don't realize that their rural lifestyle rides on the backs of urban residents. And I doubt that automated vehicles will enforce traffic regulations any more than existing vehicles have speed governors.
Besides, if traffic improves as this post suggests, you'll simply find more people willing to live farther from where they work and congestion will increase: it's a self-regulating mechanism and urban sprawl will continue.
I'm just thankful digital video and photography weren't ubiquitous when I was a teenager. Oh the events that should never be recounted. Sometimes a mental snapshot is better than the true event...

But perhaps this should be part of a miliary college or proper government organization rather than masked as an acedemic endevor by an institution such as USC? I think you'll find most computer scientists involved in this work are happy to receive funding / support of DOD, regardless of the purpose of the work.
I find it amusing that universities will quickly turn down funding from cigarette companies because it is dirty money while military funding is fair game.
Oh, and by the way...we've done alot of the shit kicking over the past couple decades. I wonder if we're seen as good-willed?
Following up on a spat of/. posts complaining that people should _never_ run XP as Administrator unless performing administerial duties, let me quote the TribesV readme.txt:
* Installing under "Windows XP Limited user account" causes failed installation and non-progression.
* Game cannot be started by user who lacks Administrator access in Windows XP.
I'm not slagging Tribes, but rather emphasizing that running XP without full privs is virtually impossible. How much longer before we can truly separate admin and limited users under XP?
negligible energy withdrawn compared to total power of atmosphere. may as well worry about effect of high-rises on wind patterns. Far more important things to focus on...
Anyone notice that the right-most switches in this image are not synchronized between the two PDAs? Oops. Maybe I'm being picky...but if you're going to kludge a photo-op, get it right!:)
Corporate web sites rarely link to the outside for fear of implied endorsement. I imagine the best replacement links would also come from within the company's site. Then, even if the material is unrelated, at least you can attest that it doesn't break any policies or (worse) promote the competition.
Regardless, it would be a simple adjustment to have the tool replace only links to the same site.
I agree this is a meaningless number. And to equate the roles of XP and linux machines is also unfair. Think of the wide mix of untested applications/drivers that users regularly install (and uninstall and upgrade and...) on Windows boxes - I'm not surprised by the number.
Running an apache web server on a barebones linux box is very different from playing Doom 3 on an XP box with an Audigy soundcard and ATi 9800 Pro while also streaming iTunes over the network, etc etc...
I notice these are only available in the US through T-Mobile. Any added infrastructure needed to support these new devices in Canada (RIM's home!)? Or was this just a economic decision by distributors.
we already pay alot for games and I'm sorry to see them taking the all-too-predictable route of adding advertizing to the storyline. First it was sporting events: every moment of a broadcast is sponsored (stadium names, half-time shows, replay cams, etc etc) and nearly every visible surface carries a logo. Then it was adopted by movies, sometimes altering the plot in senseless ways...have any good examples? I remember Lara Croft parachuting into a jungle and driving a truck (BMW?) some needless distance rather than simply landing at the final destination...I refused to see Tomb Raider 2 after this annoyance.
TV commercials used to help generate revenue when broadcasts were received freely over the airways...now we receive cable transmissions at a hefty cost ($50/mnth here) but still endure commercials on most stations.
Perhaps if games were free I would accept commercials but this is unlikely. I look forward to third-party patches to remove in-game ads altogether.
How many job offers hinge on an "English Lit 101" score anyway? And if you're really worried about GPA you shouldn't be studying a subject in which your score depends on a teacher's judgement...in my opinion: if you take the course, enjoy it and disregard the score or audit it. If you're in it to compete, find out in advance how it is graded and decide if it's a broken system to begin with.
A win-win scenario for IBM: donate a software application at an inflated price for a big tax break while also looking good to the open-source community. At least that's how I assume it works in the US.
Compared to the alternative of supporting or shelving a dead application, can you blame them? Perhaps at least this will serve as a good model for other companies that still consider dead software as a corporate asset.

What additional constraits will be applied to companies that want to float zeppelins over cities? Given the recent restrictions applied to amateur rocket groups, I question whether their business model will...take flight.

I think you want this Red Orchestra link, rather than the other one which ends at an ad for the hosting company (at least for me).

Fun touch.
Considering that gold leaf is thick in comparision (100+ nm [ref]) I find this pretty amazing.

That's hilarious...thanks for the follow-up. I totally understand ;)

This is a dup of a story from Sept. 4th.

Incidentally, it has been "GE Healthcare" rather than "GE Medical Systems" ever since they bought Amersham.
