I feel it desensitizes a child too much. So I have to say I agree.
I have to disagree. I and many friends of mine have played these games since our early teens (I'm 19 now for reference), and we still avoid sites like rotten.com because of their disgusting nature.
please be aware such links require that a formal Agreement exist between our two parties, as mandated by our organization's Web Link Policy."
So its their policy, so what? It's not a contract, what binds anyone to abide by it? They can't do anything about it if he links to them, not to mention the free speech implications. This was just a lame attempt to shut off some bad press and ironically they're getting tons of attention for doing it. Perhaps that affect is the intention.
The granddaddy of all the laser weapons is the Mid-Infrared Advanced Chemical Laser, known as MIRACL, which fills a large building and its surroundings at the test site.
Nice acronym. Now every time I see a picture of someone standing in a beam of divine light from the sky I'm going to get a mental picture of him bursting into flames and melting.

I based my opinion on the articles, if I get my hands on the thing and I'm wrong, then I'm wrong and my opinions will change accordingly.

You say it is "just a scooter". That is like calling the automobile just a "horseless carriage."
I don't think so. The Segway and scooter serve the same purpose, and get the job done with negligible difference in method and results from a users perspective. A carriage, on the other hand, lacks a mile-long list of features that a car has.
It's just the closest concept you have to fit.
Yes, and beyond technology, which is irrelevant from a users point of view, how is this any different from a scooter?
Can't you see that a vehicle which uses Dynamic Stability to be driven as an extension of your own body movements is a great innovation?
Yes, its an innovation, but is it an advancement or just a cool hack thats too costly to be commercially viable? Most seem to think the latter.
They slashdotted a LAN party? Thats cruel.

Take a look on this picture and ask yourself a question: Do I wanna be there?
As pipe is probably saturated with the slashdot effect now, not really. This brings a whole new meaning to "party crashing". Michael must be taking his revenge on them for not inviting him.
I'm not exactly sure what you're getting at with this example. It seems to be the "People don't kill people, guns kill people" argument. Just because strength or whatever other characteristics you choose would give you the ability to beat the crap out of someone doesn't give you the motive also, you do it of your own volition. It all comes down to the person. And suppose your target has had the same improvements to his genes. Then you're dead even and no worse off than now: you can't beat him up without harm, nor can he beat you up, however, you're both better of because you have the strength and are able to put it to positive uses.
Only as far as the FBI using your computers cycles and bandwidth to track and send information to them is stealing of electricity and depreciation of equipment.
Bruce's email address is listed on his web site. Your guess is as good as mine, however, as to whether or not you'll get a form letter or a real reply. (He seems like a pretty approachable guy from what I hear, but he's got a fair degree of fame to take into account as well)
Yeah, especially at like 8 in the morning on Monday. Then you ARE fighting your way thru a bunch of smelly, moaning, dead-on-their-feet, recently awakened, semi-conscious bodies.
The following is a excerp from an email sent to the bugtraq@securityfocus.com mailing list yesterday:
Microsoft Internet Explorer has a vulnerability which allows a malicious
website to access any cookie in the browser's memory or those stored on
disk. Cookies are used by web sites for storing preferences, statistics
and tracking users, but also for storing more sensitive information such
as session keys and even usernames and passwords. Cookies are used by
many (probably most) online banks, webmail systems, and other sites
requiring user authentication.
Access to cookies may allow an attacker to retrieve passwords or other
sensitive information, or hijack authenticated web sessions.
What makes this possible are certain features of "about:" URL handling of
IE. For some reason, an URL starting with "about:" can contain html code
that will be interpreted by the browser. For instance entering the URL
"about:<h1>hello</h1>" brings up a page with the heading "hello". The URL
may contain JavaScript as well. Going to the following location with IE
causes an alert box to be displayed:
The above URL would result in IE displaying cookies of www.anydomain.fi
in the alert box, assuming that the site has been visited and it has set
a cookie which hasn't expired.
A malicious website can have a piece of JavaScript redirecting the
browser to an about: URL similar to the one above, and do anything with
the cookie information of any selected domain. Instead of showing an
alert box, the JavaScript code might just pass the cookie contents to a
script or a CGI program which could quietly store the information to a
file and then redirect the browser elsewhere or show some seemingly
harmless web content.
A web page for testing the vulnerability can be found at
Agreed. Not to mention an organization which seems to have an implicit trademark on the letters "KDHX". At the very least the two names are confusingly similar, which I'm fairly certain is grounds for legal action. (Anyone know radio law? Are the call letters assigned to a station their property?)
Just today I heard from a friend of mine about a piece of hardware that allowed an SNES to plug into a computer, allowing you to use your computer moniter, the SNES's or your computers gamepads, and your SNES game cartridges to play. He said the part was only available in Hong Kong, so take this with a grain of salt.
Don't underestimate the purple and light blues. Statistically, those are the squares people hit the most. They occur A) before "Go to Jail", B) before many card spaces where you can be skipped over them and C) right after "Go", where players are often skipped to. I'm no Monopoly champion, so this is just my $2*10^-2.
Knowing the/. crowd this has probably already been posted, so forgive the redundancy, but for any who are unaware there is an anti-SSSCA petition here. It was at about 18,000 signatures when I signed. (wouldn't it be interesting if we could get it slashdotted?)
Don't forget that the Linux guy was keeping up a couple mission-critical machines, unlike your Windows systems; your post makes it sound like Linux requires an admin for every 5 boxes whereas Windows only requires one for every 50. Thats comparing apples and oranges. If one of the Win machines goes down you lose maybe a half hour of work, if one of the servers goes down you lose a great deal more, and the servers are much more likely to be attacked. Also, if this Linux guy was "constantly solving network issues, and the like" doesn't that make him as much of a network admin as a Linux guy? It sounds like he was busier than you because he had a broader job description not because he was in charge of the Linux machines.
Did MS design the XBox's hardware? A bug in software is easily fixed with a patch, but what do they do when they find out the hardware is flawed? Or is there some process to eliminate hardware bugs before they wreak havoc? (I seem to remember one of Intels chips getting to market with bugs)
Thats different. We're not giving up anything we haven't already given up with these ID cards. They asked you for ID before you got onto a plane before Sept. 11th. I agree that its unnecessary, but this "oh know 'they' are going to track us" type of argument is unjustified. If they wanted to they could right now, as a matter of fact, not only "they" could track you. Anyone who really wants to can track you, its part of the society we live in.

According to GameSpy, Half-Life is a little over 10 times as popular as Quake3, and Unreal Tournament is slightly more popular.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding this question, but the M in MIDI stands for "Musical". Musical Instrument Digital Interface.
