Lines are drawn everyday! The very nature of making that cake was/is offensive to many or a simple "Love John and Steve" message is the line for them, for you its just a bit further. Everyone has these lines drawn for everything somewhere...actualize where you are drawing them, where others are and hopefully everyone can understand each-other better.
Free For All (=Anarchy) You let everyone to get at the resources in their own way. Many form little bubbles of Socialism, Communism, Capitalism, National Socialism and Monarchies. Some of these bubbles bump up against each other and try to live side by side without popping. Some pop, some pop and are reborn under a new rule, some manage to have their own island and get really big because they are so far away from the other bubbles. In the end, the Bubble with the biggest "stick" pops the rest into submission.

So many of you are missing the point. Take world of warcraft for example. 6 million subscribers.
Now, imagine if all those items you can craft in the game can be made procedurally on the client and only requiring a 3kb file which contains the model and the textrues. WOW. User created in game content that can be sold in an in game auction house. If the wire gets too heavy with bandwidth the download manager simply works in the background and continues to download content and delete content that no longer exist.
Sure people will create a ton of crap, but just imagine all the twinks wanting their ubr loot to look really cool as well. It will come, one day, if not blizzard than someone else.
Open Source is just as important if not more than Free Software. With Open Source, I can VALIDATE what the vendor/group says the software is doing rather than having BLIND FAITH. Take Diebold for example, I would be 100% fine with it being Open Source, it allows the software community to give it a green light of trust, or not. Let them run their company, and me validate my digital vote as being what I created.
How about some "social reasoning" instead of purley "spatial reasoning". Too much is focused on what we as players see/hear vs. what may or may not happen based on communications with NPC's. If I can get a tip that beating the big dragon is as simple as shining light from a diamond into his eyes vs. beating him death then great, give me the opportunity to intellegently dig up that information from an NPC.
Not simply conversation trees mind you, but use "mood" engines, "memory" engines (as in I hurt an NPC's friend and the NPC isnt likely to help me out), persuasion, diplomacy, bluff and any other SOCIAL metagames/engines that you can think of.
Also, not necessarily AI on this next piece, but If a branching system does exist, make each branch have a significant outcome vs. all brances leading back to the same tree. Example, if my team is given notice that the right fork in the road leads to a man who gives me a potion to make the dragon talk and tell me where other dragons can be found, vs. the left fork ending with killing the dragon and getting his loot.
Already happening. I cant remember the specific article (Wired or Sci American), but a company developed a software program to look at various areas within the bio sciences and determine where a particular product/patent can be made, ironically, the actual product list and patents this autonomous program is finding are worth the investments to see these products come to life.
Please HL was not written in the context of an "interactive story", it was simply a script where every decision leads you down a pretermined path, hardly interactive.
Chris Crawford is the one everyone should be listening to. Especially his latest book. Every game "writer" should have this on their shelf.
Two things....First, PC's are a much better educational tool than Cell Phones. This is about "education", not "find employment, find affordable goods, negotiate deals, conduct business" which comes after getting an education for the most part. Try similuating a USABLE model of the solor system on a small handset vs a pocket pc.
Number two, your post is obviously one coming from an employee or lobbiest of some sort of the cell phone industry, you couldnt be more obvious and it makes me sick.
I call "watch your step". University Of Washington has said it will not accept Community College transfers for 2 years (2005/2006). I cant remember if it was becuase of costs, competition, overload or what, but the point is, Community College isnt all to great these days if you plan on transfering credits eaisly.
b. Honesty Our communications with our users should be appropriately clear and truthful. Our reputation as a company our users can trust is among our most valuable assets, and it is up to all of us to make sure that we nourish that reputation.
'Our response to being bored and rich is not to discard our possessions and live more simply, but to buy more stuff to reduce the space in which we might contemplate our shame.'
Hmmmm, a society that is based on spending $ on crap they dont need is setting itself up for disaster........one should learn to be content as possessions bring only "short term" happiness.
No, your way off base, Buddhist don't believe in a soul or some separate entity from the mind that you speak of, the core is that you are only in the current moment, no past, no future, the present exact moment and that is all. Not what you expect that moment to be or what you would like it to be, only what it is, with no outside interpretations/explanations.
Buddhist scripture of the concept of time.....it has an infinite beginning and infinite ending.
How about this for you techies-----Reincarnation, think of it as Manifestation-Re-Manifestation Let your karma bring you happiness and suffering.
The 520 Floating bridge takes you to and from Seattle accross Lake Washington, and is a literal rock skip from Bill Gates home.
The day of the launch, they had this sail boat with a massive sail with MSN 8 and the butterfly logo on it, it was very foggy that morning and windy. Too windy it cuased him to run into the bridge and a mad rush having to take down the sail.

In your IMHO? Try any Accounting 101 course taken at any college says this. Im not an accountant.
I rarely reply, but this has to be the most ignorant post on slasdot ever, and, Im rather pissed it was modded in the way it was. :(

TRUTHFUL & CLEAR???? Hmmmmmm
Great, one more UW website for me to worry about that doesnt adhere to any usability or visual standards.............
Thanks to /. I knew the reason for this exactly 1 minute prior to Dan Rather and the rest of the world. ;)
Also, this is just a sad display of how pathetic we have let various systems get out of control, sorry Canada, you are american after all.

preferably happiness of course
Or even to develop the survival skills needed to live in Montana (cold, dry, vastness, boring, emptiness, you get the drift)

Great, now they will have a monopoly on the hardware...........which is even worse their their current monopoly.
Create a demand........as in a new product or service in a niche market.
Come up with your own product/company, then let those in the corporate world feed off you and those in academia have wet dreams of you.
