For war gaming, a large projection setup would be great for maps and terrain. I figured a 4' x 8' translucent surface (giant light table setup) with a projector below it (how far down to fill 4'x8' surface?) would work. Not sure how to support the surface without casting some kind of shadow, though.
As for computer input, figures with rfid tags and some kind of triangulation sensors?
For D&D, yeah, a touch screen in the middle of the table, to display various scenario elements would be cool but not necessarily required. I suppose you could also use a Mac tablet, if they ever come out with a tabloid size one.
They described the arraignment of atoms as pyramidal in shape. Could this cause a concentrated North Pole magnetic field and a diffuse South Pole field that doesn't show up?
Just checked out your web page. Got some cool apps. After work (not allowed personal electronics in my area), I'll try out your stuff.
Biggest problem I have is trying to find stuff in Apple's App Store. It's not really set up for the volume of apps there. Wish I could browse it from a web page like Amazon's verses being stuck within iTunes.
Tim's mom was not on the United Way board with the IBM vp in charge of their personal computer project.
Also, Tim's dad was not an lawyer specializing in intellectual property issues and didn't advise him against selling his software out right and instead, just licensing it to IBM and retaining the rights to license it to other companies as well.
Part of his luck was that his mom was on the same United Way board as the VP from IBM in charge of their personal computer division. When she heard IBM needed computer software, she told him to contact her son; he was in to computers.
Another bit of luck was that his dad was a big intellectual property lawyer so when it came time to write up a contract with IBM, he advised Bill on only licensing DOS to them, not selling outright like the QDOS guys did to Bill, and to also have a clause allowing MicroSoft to license it to others as well.
After that, y'all know the rest.
So, yeah, he was lucky. Lucky to have the parents he has and that they were in the right place at the right time.
You make it sound like people are at fault for all the ills of the world. Don' ya know that the sorrows of man are always to be assigned to something nebulous and far away, like the gods, or the devil, or government or corporations?

How'd they know we all have beards?
Was thinking of the unsprung weight.
Also, I can move a 350 by hand around the shop but my 454, that mutha's heavy!
What if they made the road act like a suspension piece and flex and move instead of the wheels and parts touching it?
Now, if I can find a way to hook up a supercharged Chevy 350 directly to each wheel...
Or out of hard candy like Sweet Tarts!
(people would be smashing in to busses, just hoping for a spill of sugar powder)
What did Einstein ever do to you? Why you wanna' blow 'im up?
Yeah, my workplace (13k+ users) is moving to sharepoint. I'm sure that MS counts us all as users. Personally, FTP is good enough for me.
Better get some monkeys to take care of the pirates.
Tigers don't cook goats. They pretty much eat them as they catch them.
The roads?
Should be sterilized until repayment is complete? Hold on to children as collateral?
Three more payments and this baby is mine!
Ah, but with a translucent table top, optical recognition would be a pain. Maybe some kind of low level microwave field or scanning laser system...

What about the 8th ray that enables Martian air ships to float?
I was just trying to figure out the story from the article. Am still having a hard time trying to wrap my head around monopoles in general.
Ouch!

My money tree won't grow?
I tried that. Grew ok but then birds came and stripped it bare one day.
*sigh*
Here's a DOE Lab site. Fargin' Iceholes!
The Greens are gonna' kick the Blues' asses in the Hippodrome this afternoon!
The door knob's too slippery?
Wait, you're saying that people kill people?
Wah?
