in Ocarina you could travel back in time, but time was not fluid (ala Braid), it basically was a normal (albeit awesome) 3D game version of groundhog day.
This game is using "5D": 4 spatial dimensions + time (when you play time progresses)
I dont know much about this and am curious why it is so important. Wont open source continue to be open source independent of what the EU decides? Or is this saying that the EU gov'ts will only use open source programs, and that is defined by this document?
More info would be appreciated, the article didnt really touch on the importance.
I'm curious how much more one would get out of this versus reading Brian Greenes' books.
Or is it more like a newer version of this with a bit more time behind it?
Do they open the old bottles and waste the wine, or do they wait under the table until someone drinks a vintage bottle?
Also 5% with how much certainty, they really need to give some values or link to a data source. What range of C-12/C14 ratios are there over the past century?
Doing things like this is frankly makes you look like a child acting out... "The environment is more important than these stupid rules and there are just too many people that don't care about the environment so I will defy them in a effort to get the rules changed. So there!"
I agree that convincing the people around you (or moving to somewhere else which doesnt have these looney rules) is a better route, but whats "childish" about non-violent civil disobedience?
Did you read the article? The difference is steam allows you to download games to your own computer, whereas this service allows you to play a game remotely off of their computer. The benefit is you dont need a kickass top of the line computer (just a fast internet connection) to have your performance match that of other players.
So you are paying them to get computer upgrades, instead of doing it yourself.
Is it worth it? thats a different issue. But the model is very different from Steam
As seems will be the case with the Tennenbaum vs RIAA case, these companies will probably be able to argue that the amounts are unreasonable and unconstitutional, so although these values seem ridiculous and inflated there are some nets in place to manage the claim amounts. And although this may require large legal fees, the companies that are shipping millions or billions of a product should be large enough to absorb this, or have legal teams on hand already.
I think the recent legal climate (see past few weeks of slashdot) towards open-source, freeware, etc. has made it so anyone who come up with a clever program/idea is more likely to do well than would be expected.
I'm excited to see how often issues like this occur when cards start incorporating RFIDs and other remote technology gets used to pay for things (like using punching in a number to your cell to buy something).

Does anyone know if slashdot is accessible in China? and if so are there certain articles that must be filtered

Space elevator + guys picking up trash on the highway = clean space

goes un-complained about
If you read through the article you realize that both sides are whiney little children. As a scientist I'm offended by all of this.
