and when did this guy become an IT person when he doesn't understand networking/firewalls.
Take ONE of those servers, and make it the firewall. you obviously have some hardware for it.
Having each box with it's own firewall is a waste of your time, and impossible to manage.
Which university is this? even the small college I went to, with 1100 students, had a real firewall. there has to be at least one smart kid around there who has a clue. I hope he's reading this!
all I can say is "GOD DAMN IT". I live in a light polluted city, and wish I had known about this earlier. The moon, along with most other astronomical(sp?) observations enthrall me.
What I love is that this plug in is far from new, I've been using it for close to a year now. I think its called research, yeah, that you know, you do before you write a news story...
The biggest hurdle right now is the quality of display technology.
The cost of a small display devices, that can provide fast response times, vibrant colors, and aren't heavy and power intensive is the big issue.
These devices are approaching, and will happen eventually, but the HMD that you used to see that looked like giant insect heads that probably needed a big counter weight on them.
As technologies that allow the image to be drawn directly on your eyeball, and LCD technology shrinks you will see the possibilities of virtual reality, and more specificly, "hyper" reality bearing fruit.
I think we will see people using "hyper" reality technology in the work place much sooner then we'll have full sensorium virtual reality systems.
Boeing already is experimenting with hyper-reality systems, which are images displayed on goggles much like heads up display systems that map out the wiring maps for jumbo jets. Allowing the builders of the airplanes to see where things are going, with out having to take their eyes away from what they are working on. Boeing has been using or experienting with this since 97.
Funny, I never would have known this, had I not read it here.
1. as a developer, who uses flash at times to do a project, this is absolutly insane on macromedia's part. for them to include this in their plugin, which is supposed to be a transparent part of the browser experiance, and force that upon the end user, who may, or may not know what their getting in to is... I'm at a loss for words.
Corporate environments that lock down their browsers better, and prevent such tool bars are going to stop allowing flash to be installed on their systems. which actually BACKFIRES for macromedia, as they are desperatly trying to get people to use flash / cold fusion / flex / breeze etc... Corporate entities will not allow flash to be installed on office computers if they're going to get some unintended software like the yahoo tool bar on it.
I'm dissapointed, and will start voicing such to macromedia.
people DO download High Def video files for use on their home computer. sure... it may take a while, but a lot of people I know virtually spend a lot of bandwidth and hard drive space to download the HD quality rips of films and TV shows. Combined with the recent work of verizon, which may take a few years to complete none the less, we're all eventually going to have fiber to the door. and if you compare the advance of TV's vs. the advances of computers, the computer, assuming it stays seperate from the role of TV, will have massive storage, matched with massive bandwidth. I REALLY hope that the media industry can move to a system that takes advantage of the technology, instead of trying to limit it, or work around it.
He's got a good idea with the physical distribution of memory sticks for media, mostly in my opinion, that you can pack them better then DVD's to keep them from being broken. but other wise, we're very quickly moving to a ubiquitous(sp?) networked environment, where people either with the right knowledge, or all of us with hope, can dump the concept of physical mediums for distribution methods. I just hope they let me make back ups, cause god knows window's is never going to be full proof enough to keep my data after it BSOD's on me.
I have a 1976 Honda 360t
thats a 2 cyl. 360cc engine.
it's leaking oil, and has f*cked up seals in the firing chambers, which means I'm loosing efficiency on the compression... and I still get between 40 and 50 MPG.
It cracks me the hell up when I'm gassing up and the car next to me is some giant SUV, and the soccer mom is making the hard choice between feeding her kids, or driving her car...
dear america, wake the hell up, you selfish bastards you.
... there are a lot of very interesting, new ways to place impellers, and energy transferance devices into the waterflow, which, just being moved by the motion of the river, will power a turbine... ????.... profit, er, I mean, electricity.
the need to divert a water flow seems really really labor intensive, and also, very 19th century.
This is/. right? theres got to be something cool in the archive about innovative hydrodynamic power systems.
We have CS servers, NS servers, BF1942 Servers, an occasionaly other servers that pop up and vanish as popularities wax and wane.
the community is where its all at though, we have a top notch admin team, who take cheating and general mis-behavior very seriously, and do an amazing job keeping the servers fun for all levels of players.
I went to Hampshire College in Amherst MA. The lemelson foundation has spent a lot of money building a program there for inventors and innovators. I unfortunatly never took advantage of the program while I was there, but it was all funded by the money that Lemelson had made with his Patents. I had always assumed that he had made the money justly, and not so... poorly.
oh well. another perception of good things shattered.
there is so much hinted at in the hobbit, that was formulating around in tolkiens mind about the world he was about to create, it would be easy for jackson to take a little creative lee-way and rename a few things to make it fit with the full depth of LOTR.
they even mention "the necromancer" in the hobbit, which is a clear reference to sauron, if not just one of his nazgul.
ooook.. this game has failed to inspire me AT ALL, I'm not a big MMORPG guy but I was excited for what this could have been.
everything I've seen is like nerf-herding... can you do that in the game?
I doubt it.
having a great game with a wonderful character creation system, and an amazing crafting variety... is what I call boring.
Pig is absoultly right, it needs content right now, but more then that, it needs to become star wars.
you MET thrawn and vader? and had tea and biskets with them? you know, I'm all FOR chilling with the dark ones, but... I doubt you were an 80th level imperial soldier when they let you in to the heart of the imperial palace...
did I mention that theres no space ships? did I hear this was a star wars game?
thats right, NO space ships. no YT-3000 freighters, no XWINGS, no TIE fighters... nadda.
and, pig... you are fighting with a pole arm?
was this star wars, or jackie chans martial arts show?
RP games are great, and I've heard from my RP buddies that SWG is great. but, its STAR WARS!, Sure, RPing IN a star wars world is fine, but how about having some of the STAR WARS parts of the game.
I will admit I've never played SWG, but, I'm not going to either.
one more comment.
why hide the imperial palace? I mean... its on coruscant, and, its the seat of galactic power. you'd think you'd want to find it if you needed to pay a fine or something... not, that theres anything to screw up and get fined for, lacking any content.
jabbas palace, I can understand that one being hard to find... but, I have to ask.
a few people have said it here already, but to be redundant, its all about competition. the carriers know that number portability will open up the market to a new level of equality. "I don't like Provider A, I'll try B now"...
The unfortunate reality is that this would be BEST for the consumers in the end, and in the end of that be best for the companies as well.
I can remember my Deskjet 550, from about 96, and 97. worked great... until the popcorn incident of 98... couldn't quite get it to stop streaking after that...
so, I got rid if it, and just stole time on the lab printers.
Now, at work today, we've got a few printers in the office, a HP 8850 Laser, works great. Its like a nuke sub. only needs to come up for more paper.
Then theres the Cannon color pass. Its a $11,000 color scanner, printer, copier. I think it even does the dishes, but we havn't tried. beautiful prints come out of it.... now... if we didn't need to have the maintnence guy come in every 3 days to fix something, it would be worth having in the office. Thank god its on lease, or else we'd be paying just as much for the tech visits, as we did for the printer.
Printer quality isn't just suffering on the low end, this $11,000 beaut proves it to me.
I know its alpha, and I respect that, but seriously, I think I stained my pants when I got past the first few zombies.
Excellent work, I've bought everything since Spear of Destiny, (wolf 3d was a gift), and have loved all your work.
