GeoMod allows the player to alter (and destroy) the environment so significantly because of the way it designates altered (or "GeoModded") areas. Whereas other game engines would have to modify the shape of the altered object to create a similar effect, GeoMod creates special objects which represent empty space.
Even though many posters here on Slashdot like to pretend they are hardcore users, GUI's can help. It might make it easier to write configuration applications that most new users can use, for example.
People stop acting like elitists. I want Linux to be more popular so more games will be made for Linux.
Worse, you can compare. Maybe in the future, instead of downloading a game, you will only download the image, and send you keystrokes to a server. I'm sure I saw this idea somewhere. It means you will be able to play better games on worse computer, true, but I'd rather play on my computer with no need for net.
This Weighted Companion Cube will accompany the satellites through space.
Aparture Science is sure this will reduce the number of insane satellites in orbit.
Slashdot Mirror
EA created its own Travian in Ultima setting?
There are games with voxels that allows you to destroy pratically anything.
I don't know how many people download pirate programs or pr0n, but I think it's more than 11.5M and they download a lot more than 474M each.
Well, from the summary I infer that it wasn't fully:
The difference between this and say, Red Faction or Bad Company, is that the destruction isn't limited to pre-set building sections.
But Wikipedia says different:

Unless the TPM can't be installed in the PC by the user, it still isn't the same.
It's one thing if the popular PC manufacturer sells its computer without Windows, it's another if it says you can't even install Windows in it.
Game and sport are not mutually exclusive.
According to wikipedia, "Chess is a recognized sport of the International Olympic Committee, and is led by the FIDE."
That's ridiculous. Everyone knows that dolphins use sonic amplificators.
You know, people in space need to be sensitive about other species too!

it says that cars don't take damage from colliding with walls. That means you can't run a car against a wall to smash it. But it is so fun!
Also, those cars have very strong fronts, because they don't take damage from there too.
Was this an effort for recovering from the hit it has received from the lack of support by iPad, iPhone and similars?
It doesn't seem like a good idea to make a interface so different that it looks broken in a moment like this.
I would love to believe this is the case, but this news is from March 30th
I can see now a lot of people claiming to be supertaskers.
I hope those news don't make it to the general public;
Ohh, lines...
It's interesting to notice from those graphs that apparently the main languages are Perl, Ruby, PHP and Python.
The graphs by region are interesting for showing the distribuition of those languages either as a local effect or something bigger.
Quite interesting I might say.
According to the article, Open Solaris won't be closed, but it won't receive updates to keep with Oracles Solaris.
Does that means that there will still be a free Solaris option for those who don't want to pay Oracle?
Well, the plot of that episode references 1984. Anyway, weren't they five lights?
Well, Canada's Queen lives in EU. All Hail the Queen!
It's as if we discovered that instead of algorithms, what really did the work inside the computer where little chinese men going up and down.
Would they win if the pc gaming industry died?
So many interesting things there.
By the way, is this War's horse?

Isn't everything math, according to some philosofers? Could we use that to finish all patents?
When I was young, we used to fall using our feet. In the snow! Uphill! Both ways!
