I was reading this article and suddenly had a vision. Combine MMORPGS with Augmented Reality! Let the game world coincide and merge with the real world. A virtual world (or several) layered on top of the physical world, visible only to those who are logged in.

Ok, this is one for everybody who as ever posted the phrase "Is this really news for nerds?" . .
Give me a nice recursive function any day.:)
Imagine giant, lab grown sheets of leather. We can genetically engineer the cells to mimic the tanning process. Leather jackets and such will no longer cost 100-200 dollars. Cool:)
And they didn't replace her with Worf. Worf was on the show from the first episode.
There was some lesbian action on DS9, but it didn't really count because of the couple in question, the last time they had been together, one of them had been a guy.
104.3 in Baltimore is a Clearchannel station and they played 'Imagine' (it's on the list) this morning at exactly 9:45, the time of the first crash, immediatly after a short moment of silence.
Widespread but only partial news coverage was given recently to a remarkable editorial broadcast from Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian television commentator. What follows is the full text of his trenchant remarks as printed in the Congressional Record:
"This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least appreciated people on all the earth.
Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of these countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States.
When France was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up, and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it.
When earthquakes hit distant cities, it is the United States that hurries in to help. This spring, 59 American communities were flattened by tornadoes. Nobody helped.
The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped billions of dollars into discouraged countries. Now newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent, warmongering Americans.
I'd like to see just one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplane. Does any other country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tri-Star, or the Douglas DC10? If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all the International lines except Russia fly American Planes?
Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or woman on the moon? You talk about Japanese technocracy, and you get radios. You talk about German technocracy, and you get automobiles. You talk about American technocracy, and you find men on the moon - not once, but several times and safely home again.
You talk about scandals, and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everybody to look at. Even their draft-dodgers are not pursued and hounded. They are here on our streets, and most of them, unless they are breaking Canadian laws, are getting American dollars from ma and pa at home to spend here.
When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both are still broke.
I can name you 5000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble. Can you name me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even
during the San Francisco earthquake.
Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I'm one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them get kicked around. They will come out of this thing with their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their nose at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles. I hope Canada is not one of those."
I was going to mention that one. I'm glad it got some lip service. There is a bit of violence in it, although not perpetrated by the main character. A couple of people, the protagonist's friends, get shot (not killed). All in all, it's a great game.
Funny how all the cultural fears of technology come from books and movies like Frankenstein, Brave New World, Colossus, (remember that one?) and 2001
Probably because science fiction has a funny tendency to become science fact, but here's another piece of sci-fi for you. In Isaac Asimov's robot novels, he predicted that robots would attain superior intelligence, but along with superior intelligence comes superior morality. There are tons of stories like what you are describing. True, a story is boring unless there is some kind of trouble, but in those stories, the happy-friendly-harmless-monster / perfectly-working-computer simply isn't the source of the trouble.
Slashdot Mirror
You make sure that eash QE transciever is built in such a way, that it can't be tampered with without unentangling.
For shame. You're a reader of slashdot
You should know by now that there's no such thing as tamper-proof technology.
Believe it or not, where there's a will, there really, actually IS a way.

Somebody shoot that guy
...who didn't see that coming. :)
Now that game would make a great movie.

It's not technically a mmorpg, it's just a morpg. 64 player limit to a server is not what I'd call 'massive'.

"Disney is not all bad. They were one of the first major coroporations to offer benifits to same sex couples."
That was actually the reason that the Christian Coalition tried to boycott them.
Does that mean that in the sequel, Tron is super powerful and trying to control everything and HE needs to be taken down?
All the manufacturer has to do is "encrypt" the camera's internal memory
Ok, that might delay the hackers for about a week.
That is beautiful. It almost made me weep. :.)
And if they do, the RIAA will pay off Congress to patch up those loopholes.
That theme song must be changed and all copies of it must be destroyed. Can someone please start a petition to get paramount to change it?

This sounds like an article from The Onion

sorry, 8:45
