It might interest some of you that CCP actually started out publishing the Icelandic board game "Hættuspilið" (en: Risky game) witch was notorious for getting its players so involved it would cause hefty arguments and even breakups or end friendships.
IMHO using an encyclopedia article as your only source for research is simply not a good idea, be it Wikipedia or Britannica or any other. Encyclopedias are meant to give an overview about topics and to cite original research, witch is what you should be reading and citing in your own research, not the encyclopedia article. There are of course exceptions to this, for instance if your are citing something fairly trivial and not fundamental to your research. But in general using an encyclopedia as your main source is just wrong.
Name the "important features" being hidden and I suspect the list will consist of features that are very important to a tiny fraction of our userbase.
I personally prefer using separate windows for each page, not tabs. This behaviour is no longer customizable in the Options and it took quite a while finding the about:config option for this. Frankly why this was left out of the tabs tab in the Options is beyond me since that tab is half empty anyway.
I'd like to add that this is just about the only thing that annoyed me about Firefox 2.0 (sorry, just bumped into the second one, Firefox is marked red by the spell checker!).
My windows box has 2G RAM and turning of the swap file works very well. Windows swaps to disk weather or not it neads to, unless you turn swapping of completely (System Properties -> Advanced -> Performance Settings -> Advanced -> Virtual memory Change -> (o) No paging file -> Set).
The computer is a lot more responsive without virtual memory, and I get no thrashing, ever!
Using this sort of setup I recomend MemInfo from http://www.carthagosoft.net/ to be able to monitor memory usage (hitting the 2G max can be painfull).
I first thought %90 was a kind of funny typo to be on the front page of slashdot. But when I started to RTFA I noticed this was copied from there, and stoped reading it. I just cant take someone who confuses where to put the % symbol with where the $ symbol should be seriously.:oP
Anyone typing "woot!" after fragging someone in a FPS would immediately be flagged as a n00b! It's spelt w00t weather or not you work for a dictionary publisher or not.
PS. Where is n00b? It's at least as common as w00t.
My point obviously got quite obscured by the metaphor.
The point was: Like what happened in the Wild West, properly appointed lawmen should take over what the vigilantes are doing and do it properly (with due process of course).
Shooting and killing and criminal cought in the act of shooting someone else is generally illegal (in civilized countries at least). However police get an exception from this rule, and are in fact expected to do it.
Hacking and taking down websites with crimminal intent is something the police should be allowed (and even required) to do.

No, that was 4 years ago. That's a long time when it comes to internet things.
In the video Hilmar mentioned that the number 514 had some signifficance in the gameworld. Has anyone figured out what that is?

Segway failed because they underestimated how lazy people are, I bet those electric scooter chair things are outselling it by far.

I think the 3D web will definately go to the same amazing heights and popularity as the 3D book, 3DTV and 3D films!
But everyone knows having lots of money leads to more sex.
But animals have no soul, what will be the impact on the soul? :-|
Voyager systems however are a lot faster than Enterprise but don't scale as well. :oP
It's the blink tag on the front page, I bet somewhere in the pagerank code you'll find:
if(page.containsTag('blink'){
rank = rank/2;
}
In a couple of years that sort of study will be classified!
Thats where most of the porn is currently cumming in.
Carpenters that build thin doors should of course also be liable for burglaries.

How much do I have to pay for advertising my site on slashdot like this?
Space weapons wont help us against the Cylons anyway since everyone is planing to aim them the wrong way.
