Listen, a house is a horrible example since they are never "open to the general public." A better example would be a store or private club. By default they are open to the public unless you hang a sign that says "Closed", or "Private", and lock the door.
Access Points provide a service, they are often PURPOSELY left open in order to provide network access. They are SIMPLE to lock down. Even if it's just using WEP, that's enough to at least say "you're not welcome here."
If you want everyone to stay out, put up a freaking sign. You don't open up a store on a busy street then try to charge everyone who comes in with trespassing.
Calorie restriction only works with adequate, or better yet, optimal nutrition. Even if you're eating 50% of your normal calories you still have to get 100% of all the required nutrients. Starving yourself it just a good way to die sooner.
Considering that the richest countries in the world, the ones that will be getting life extension tech first, mostly have shrinking populations... I don't think it would be a bad thing.
Like the subject title says, this study was done on yeast, not mice. And while it's a cool study and there are homologs between yeast and humans, don't expect 6 fold life span improvements in humans anytime soon.
step 1, keep all mp3's in a central place
step 2, have ssh access
step 3, locally shfs mount mp3s
step 4,...
step 5, profit!
ok, shfs allows you to mount a remote filesystem while only having ssh access. Simply mount the mp3 dir and point xmms or whatever at it and play. Works flawlessly for me.
No, because they can always just ignore the robots and hit us where is really hurts... at home.
Also, if both sides have robots, they are really nothing more than a buffer between the people fighting from their bunkers. For there to be a winner, people still have to die. Does it matter if it happens on the battlefield or 100 feet underground?
The problem with bt8x8 based cards under linux is that while the basic chipsets and tuners are supported most manufacturers use slighly different configurations. Then they refuse to release the changes that were made, thoroughly borking the btvideo module. For example, getting btaudio (audio over the pci bus instead of the line out of the card) working is virtually impossible on most cards.
Under linux you really can't beat the hauppauge PVR 250 or 350. Both include hardware mpeg2 encoding, the 350 includes hardware mpeg2 decoding. You can find drivers at ivtv.sf.net. It's nice to record tv shows at 640x480 at 2% cpu load.
There has already been research in this area using cats. The researchers were able to reconstruct images of what the cat was actually seeing. Pretty amazing stuff if you ask me.
Tell me how I, as a skeptic, have any more information about this to base an opinion on that you? You are the one trying to show that there is some extraordinary reason for what is happening to the cattle. That requires extraordinary proof, proof that you just aren't giving us. But you are the one trying to prove something here, not us. Your failure to convince us is your shortcoming, not ours.

"Degrading gracefully" (nice terminology) I would think would be part of whatever streaming model format was used. I've seen a couple of applications that use techniques like this, but they always failed with the interface. "There" seems to have done a much much better job on this than most previous attempts.
Adobe Atmosphere was a decent attempt at something metaverse like in terms of flexability, but I think it had two major flaws. One, the interface was just horrible, and two, it relied too heavily on existing web architecture. I think a true metaverse implementation will need to be removed from the web.
Although, if someone wanted to write an in-game web browser, I think that should be completely possible:) In the end, I would hope, there would be no need to actually use a normal "desktop" unless you wanted to, since it would be possible to do everything from inside the 'verse.
The point of designing something too intensive for low end users I think should be at the descretion of the owner. If I want to make something to intensive for anyone to run, I'll just have to accept the fact that people are going to avoid my place like the plague:)
and for server side load, limit the number of people on your property.

Stolen seems like a strong word if the victims exposed an API online with calls to transfer away their balances....
Maybe if our best and brightest didn't die every 75 years we would have some people living off world by now..
Ah well, wishful thinking.
rant mode on...

The amount of funding spent on anti-aging research is TINY compared the total US research budget.
"How will we justify the use of this when so many people die very young from preventable causes"
Um, because allowing normal people to die while there is a cure for their aging would be akin to murder?

Firingsquad did a test between different brands and different types (rca vs svideo). The results where pretty interesting:

That was one of the best written things I've read lately, thanks.

The card is also well supported by mythtv.
There.com has a somewhat similar concept. While not strictly an MMORPG, they do allow for the conversion of Dollars into ThereBucks.
Or at least they used to when I played the beta months ago before they started spamming my inbox.
I think you are looking for Win2VNC. There is also x2vnc.
and here I just started playing shadowbane looking for good online pvp.

I went to this last year and it was a blast (represnt'n the NC crew!). Sucks I can't make it this year.
Sigh, that poor poor hotel never saw it coming.
I also found this

haha, indeed :)
/shrug
although, I still think my points about what a metaverse should be are valid. and I do think that the clients and servers should be open. but..
this is a big step in the right direction.
ok, apparently they do have a programming interface, I'm interested in seeing how powerful it is.
