And to be correct you would have to make games adhere to the laws of war valid at the time so pre 1900 or so taking of hostages was legit as was executing them if the other side reneged. Medieval sims would have to encourage you to do the right thing eg 100 vp you allowed the children inside the besieged city to be baptised - so that 3 days later when you stormed the place and killed 90% of the inhabitants they would go to heaven.
There are table top games that model real world asymmetric wars where you lose VP if you accidentally kill civilians (which the other side encourage by using human shields and so on) - so its not a totally silly idea but you would have to apply it to all media and not just games.
Not when I looked at the case she wasn't. She should have joined the Journalists union . As I would if I had to blog/write professionally and no arguments about bloggers not being proper Journalists:-)
um ever worked on a production line/piece work there are large numbers of ways that workers game the system slowing down when the Time and motion people are watching - go slows I remember being told about one where the tea boy got £900 (in the early 70's)
A few years ago when I worked for BT I was on secondment in an office where a few months before there was scandal where a journalist had got a temp job and looked up the queens phone numbers.
The seconded staff had to be vouched for by senior staff before we where allowed in the door every morning.
And this was a very high profile project.
A few years data a dev team leader I knew was going to have to be DV'd - ie put through the same clearance as MI5 or MI6 officers because she could access data on every private circuit in the UK.
well at £400 plus say £200 for a monitor - was dirt cheap when a color text terminal was £2000 - where i worked another guy and i lobbied to get a BBC micro as a cheap color terminal - they eventually did this and used to to font end a pdp11 based system that measured temps on a huge hydraulic model of hongkong harbor (the largest ever in the world which used 1/3 of our total lab space)
When some people from the PRC came to look at the model - they where excited and apparently spent the next day scouring the shops round Bedford/Milton Keynes for BBC micros to take back in the diplomatic bag.
bollocks do you not understand ohms law - running any thing non trivial on 12v dc is a non starter - any telecom engineer will(and thats on 48V have amusing horror stories about near death (if they where lucky) with big dc systems and that is using 48V
because telcos have much much more stringent requirements for up time - a major switch failure is a once in a lifetime event for most people - we have had 3 failures for amazon in the last 4 months at work.
A second about not getting to tied to drupal or any cms -You do need to know how to do it from first principals - and not all solutions are suited to a CMS and 95% of those that are suited to a cms would suit word-press better.
Id also advise against getting to much into OO its a suitable paradime for some problems but not all. If you have the time and inclination id say look at things like hadoop and other big data as thats a growing area.
18 century political caricatures where very offensive - and if you compare the British press today the editorial cartoons a re far far stronger than anything published in the usa media - Steve bell would never get published.
posibly hes just making sure that you can be charged - its why they ask you if your an agent of a foreign power when you enter the country. Or mor likely hes a senator kinsy grandstanding or looking for some pork from google in his state
"long lasting effects in Fukushima still conflicted" huh compared to Chernobyl there are very few efects - Chernobyl had wards full of firemen and conscripts dieing horrific slow deaths from radiation poisoning - Fukushima nothing.
people seem to forget that >25k people died in the Tsunami - the effects of Fukushima are trivial compared to that.
actually from what my colleges a LN Risk tell me HPC clusters are not normally built with cheap as chips parts - they use commodity but fairly decent kit dual quad cores plus infiniband to tie it together

no get a http://www.christopherward.co.uk/ same movement but your not paying for the brand.

its the Amps that kill - and 12v at insane amps would require very very thick wires
bollocks do you not understand ohms law - running any thing non trivial on 12v dc is a non starter - any telecom engineer will(and thats on 48V have amusing horror stories about near death (if they where lucky) with big dc systems and that is using 48V

I remember they found that reducing the bank cleaning frequency increased to reliability of strowger exchanges (old school mechanical phone exchanges)
and an Igor - They know the secret of storing lightning in jars
has any one told Helen Magnus what Teslas up to now ;-)
Sounds like your company is hiring the wrong sort of developers then.
nah had him over the the ANA - much quicker and cheaper :-)

quite right they where considered "Traitors" not Terorists
you need to get rid of the "seniority system " not term limits

and probably many less deaths than say Aberfan which killed 116 children and 28 adults in a single coal mining incident in 1966

reley European cities are rather crowded - this is a cloud cookoo land fantasy
actually the french had more and better tanks than the Germans - just did not use them effectively
err you might be surprised (as I was when i found out about this) as US and Uk employment law descend from similar roots.
