How long till some one just puts a txt file ELUA on the CD? They don't need any thing else. They have lawyers to go after the ones that break the ELUA.
Yeah, a major software company is releasing a DRM system on windows next week. They are expecting to actually "sell" music on-line. Apparently the media & software users love this one software company so it must be a "good" thing when they bring it out.
I wish them luck. I think Steve Jobs should run for President, or at least Governor for CA.;) Nah, he'd need more acting experience.
I think South Korea should buy it mainly to secure their future source of games. Or maybe NK should buy it and make South Koreans pay large sums for the Blizzard games.:)
Not to be negative or anything, I really want them to get into space. But how many "attempts" do you think will be made before they actually get into space and back safely? Truthfully, I'd say it is alot braver stepping into a craft that has high loss rates. How many of those ships were lost at sea trying to make it across the Atlantic? Now, how often do you here of commerical shipping being "lost at sea?" I don't consider our selfs at the crossing the Atlantic phase. I'd consider that star to star travel that could take generations. We are not making the full use of our solar system. Heck we aren't making the full use of all those oceans and those deserts we should be able to think of something usefult to do with them.:)
How would taking charts, graphs, and grids of numbers into 3D make it more attractive? I think a better solution would be for hi resolution 3 or 4 ft LCD screens. It would be "cheaper" implementing it to. How many accountants or secretaries would get a CAVE system? Unless it improved productive like ten fold, not many.
Until the games industry starts branching out into other occupations other than "lone military man behind enemy lines," driver (usually race but they are branching now alittle), pilot, or sports, then you won't find alot of use for it. What we need are games like crime scene detective, archaeologists (other than Indy).
Most outdoor type of work though would be alot cheaper performed outside somewhere. The advantage of a CAVE system is that you could have a standardized model that everyone practices or tests on though. Alot of information can be lost if artifacts aren't recovered and recorded properly. It could help for randomized digs to get proper record keeping pounded into the students heads. Sort of like how CS 1 Professors were trying to pount Hex and Binary math into our heads. Without practice, most skills fade and get lost.
I hate websites that have no real e-mail address to contact. Yesterday, I was trying to contact anyone at the FBI that was involved in UCR and NIBRS. I couldn't find a single e-mail address anyone. They had mailing addresses. I don't want to send a letter. I want to make a simple e-mail inquiry. It may be nice for others, but I hate that approach. I hate forms, because you never know where that message went off to. I like having a person to contact. Would you like trying to do business with someone without their e-mail address?
Nah, our brains are just adapted to the days before spelling and speaking where "standardized" when you had to learn a different lanauage or atleast dielact with each tribe or town you visit. With Radio, TV, and Printed Media in general, we take that for granted.
Was that the Version with the dancing russian guys in the center of the screen? I loved that version. I hated the version that I brought. It had tetris on it and it was just plain brightly colored blocks. It was still fun, but no where near as fun.
After graduating with a BS in CS in 2000. I had a job in fast food. min wage 5.25/hr not even 36 hrs a week. I quit that one worked for Molex "through" ManPower evil temp job company. I interviewed with Molex, but they had me fill out Manpower paper work so I ended up being a Manpower temp. person for just over a year making 7.25 / hr for 37.5 hrs week usually and 45 or 52.5 hrs when we were lucking to get over time. That job I got layed off. I was welding wires. Not exactly the computer job I wanted. My next job was 8/hr for 4-5 hrs doing tape backup on and AS/400. It was a nice night job. One day I showed up and asked for the key and sent me home. I called the temp. company that I was working through and they didn't know anything about it. They could have easily had them call me, which I'd have perferred. Thank God, I've got a Tech Job with a City Government working on the police department's comptuers. I nearly got let go at the end of the 6 month trial period, which thank god that they didn't. I'm making about 26K and happy job wise. I'd have loved that 40-50K a year that I was supposed to make in 2000, but that'll never happen. I'm thinking of switching industries, but what the hell does a BS in CS with a Math Minor switch to? I like my job, but I really *need* more money.
Although I'm not familiar with the game you mention, I'd rather kids get there kicks from games than actually going out joining a gang and spraying paint anything in sight while running from the law.
I open to my open in tabs in phoneix and have these pages load: http://www.sluggy.com http://www.userfrien dly.org http://www.schlockmercenary.com http://www.wired. com http://www.news.com http://www.slashdot.com http://www.cnn.com/tech for that one different story http://rantburg.com/ to see how bad the rest of the world is doing
Nope, I'm not bothered with it. For some reason, I don't think the government really needs after ID though. With our trading practices, it is atleast nice to know that we can turn completely imperialisc if we had to because the rest of the world considers us broke except for our military.
Thank you Europeans, Japanese, South Koreans for testing out all the new high tech toys. It's good letting others do the testing that way we get 3rd or 4th generation tech relatively debugged by the rest of the world. Of course now we my have to read a few additional languages.
Personally I feel it is high time we brough back debtors prison for amoralistic scam artists such as these.
Yeah, and for those that default on there Credit Card payments and those that have been victims of ID theft, but the Finance Industry would rather right it off as "Credit Loss."
And lets not forget those that are late on those college loans. Those are half way "educated" people that need to be watched before they get ideas into there head.
Work arounds... If I was losing millions in Taxes, I'd find a way around it. I'd start to bundle an Open Office or similiar office software. I'd also put slots for my Sony Memory Sticks on the "New Eurporan Version" so that they'd be able to save more than 8 mb. Let's see they could get with lexmark and make a P2 Printer. They'd have it made.
Actually, I think China could get a ton of money pumped into NASA. NASA would do something stupid like a man-mission to Mars. While China figures out how to cheaply and reliably send men to space. US gives up for lack of interest until the annoucement of Chineese planned Moon Base or Space Station. I think the US would ignore a Space Staion all together no matter how large. A Moon Base would cause the US geeks to cry in outrage an few Billion would be pumped into NASA and we'd have a token Base on the Moon with less than 20 human there. China will beat US in the long run. It is our outlook on life. In the short run we will always be ahead but oh in 2 or 3 hundred years China will either have control of the high orbitals or there will be a Taiwan in space that everone will have to deal with.:)
Yack, although it would be neat and get tons of good slashdot coverage, do you really think that an open source solution would follow all the CYA practises of the health care profession? They are so binded mainly by the fear of malpratice law suits... What doctors really need are EULA. I hope that they never get them though.

How long till the annoucement from the Baby Bells that they are all going voice over IP to avoid regulation?
1. Have regional monolopy with 2 token "competiors"
2. Change business model to become unregulated.
3. More Profits by reduced costs!

Was Tomb Raider from Japan? I forget at the moment and I won't want to bother googling it.

exactly why is it not a "real" computer?
2 Words Politics and Taxes.
Work arounds... If I was losing millions in Taxes, I'd find a way around it. I'd start to bundle an Open Office or similiar office software. I'd also put slots for my Sony Memory Sticks on the "New Eurporan Version" so that they'd be able to save more than 8 mb. Let's see they could get with lexmark and make a P2 Printer.

Mom and Dad were the best job finders for me. Of course if you don't want to work near family this might not work for you.

That's just what the world needs IBM Rockstars. All he needs are groupies.
