The one thing currently not retired from office that makes me embarrassed to be an American.
There's got to be a better way of beating the brains out of our children.
There are many artifacts found for which we have no explanation as to how they were used. Lets take the Baghdad battery for example. Is it a battery? Is it medicinal? How bout the Pyramids at Giza? How were those tools used, propaganda? esthetics? What about the Moai of Easter Island? All the monoliths were "tools" same as magnetic tapes we use today. How bout we say that all tools from recorded history still are used, and those from before, are not.
Yes they led a good life as the america's coffers were overflowing with gold coming from the European refugees, however, their life style was unsustainable. What ever achievements they made were insignificant to what could have been done if the culture was evolving into intellectually arousing direction instead of the car-crazy-burger-swallowing head-bashing-sports-a-rama which made Americans look like idiots to the rest of the world for.. well still are. So F*** the old timeys and their "American Dream", this is a new age, and I got a new American Dream, and in that dream, other countries get to form unions, and fight for equality, while we, as the "more mature" nation, develop the intellectual prowess needed for the next century.
Wow, I didn't even bother to read past the first page. You Mr Gewirtz is an idiot. The era of being able to provide for your family by standing all day pushing a button, getting off at 4pm and drinking all night with buddies is over, Industrial revolution, is over. Your ideology is stupid. I think you are afraid that with out mfg jobs everyone will be a geek like you, and you wont be soo freaking special, you looser.
Wrapping up game development into 50 hours is a recipe for a life long nightmare for someone. Imagine if some of your students actually will really LOVE making games. Are you going to be the one that tells them that being that they are "Fine Arts" major, there are not likely to ever get anywhere close to game authoring and at best can only find a job as a 3D graphic artists and only that after getting another degree! What you are doing is a SHAM.
I have nothing against outsourcing. I my self have worked with outsourced groups many times. Very pleasant folk, if anything, they make me feel more confident in my market viability.
But in return, please, don't tell me that we should be adopting any habits like corruption, and monstrous bureaucracy of a regime such as India.
I think someone needs to teach these countries that Globalization doesn't mean you get to pick and choose those attributes of trade which fit your needs best. It's a model, get with it, or get off the train. Seriously, why are we sharing all our technology with these shady countries? Oh yeah capitalism, and slow as shit Pentagon. Don't complain the world is filling with despots when we aren't willing to regulate the chips supplied to North Korea, or the control over technology we give to shady governments like India and China.
I fully agree, did the poster even read the article? I'd rather see someone just fail (because of budget constrains) then try and fail (with a gianormous budget). I personally did notice the ring and thought it was "whack". The original was awesome because the explosion mimicked Fireworks explosion and transitioned smoothly into the ending scenes with the firework celebration.
I feel the Gesture Wars are coming... This is a quite a bit simpler system, targeting broader market, then the one suggested by John Underkoffler, that was developed during the making of the "Minority Report" the movie. I have also noticed the demo for both systems did not tackle close-up gestures which is how the "Pad" will most likely be used. Plenty of space for more ideas, and competition.
Ingenious solution, but just like "Junk Shot" it is bound to fail.. Why not just Nuke it. It's already planned to be a quiet neighborhood for the next 10,000 years or so.
The rules of the road were devised for everyone's safety including your own. Your comment is inaccurate, because what you are trying to do is stupid. On the other hand if we all put to a vote whether one should stay in a lane or swerve as desired, and you voted to stay in the lane, but lost. If you started swerving despite what you believe in, you would be a hypocrite.
Whoever modded my comment to Flamebate and then Troll needs to grow some balls and let those who are willing to stand up for what is right, do the right thing, which sometimes is just calling out the idiots as idiots.

Do we really need to use those terms when referring to Space exploration? StoryAuthor.Lame++
Is that kind of like North Korean Kingdom of Heaven or the Saudi's Arabia?

What's jesus and what do you take it with?
Does that mean I now qualify for hazard pay??
Obviously this bombing was staged to incite more fears amongst general public about the use of alternative energy methods. +1 Big Oil.
Except problem solving skills.

I think it's time we start recording public policy votes and prohibit use of technology by individuals who opposed it! I'm tired of these hypocrites.
