When the thing walks, the entire body trembles because of the added stress on the other legs. This causes the entire frame to flex a few inches. I'd be guessing this is yet another reason why this is one of the only (correct me if I'm wrong) five and a half ton robots.
IANAL.
I suggest you print up all of your source code you have and mail it to yourself. Do not open the letter (with postmark), place the letter in a safe deposit box and get a lawyer.
I for one have already have too many flaming aircraft parts fall on my house. So, why is this a good thing? It's [b]BAD[/b] to hack certain things (like our ICBM aresnal).
I wonder if E-Paper could be adapted to form circuit boards.. Download the chip, plug it into your e-paper, watch it assemble itself. I bet it could be done.
Somehow I doubt most professional baseball and basketball players lakc the intelligence to use DeCSS, let alone comprehend what it does. If these guys were really bright, they'd have real jobs, instead of whacking balls with sticks and throwing balls through nets. Granted they're good at what they do, I don't see how this issue relates to them at all.
So now that we've established that DeCSS has no impact on athletes.. how does it impact the baseball leagues and the NFL? Does it screw the management (greedy bastards)? Does the media cartel have their hands down someone else's pants? They [the players and management and co.] just strike me as another greedy organization looking to exploit the little guy.
I want a lightsaber!! Attach a slender carbon nanotube pole to a MASER emitter (with a one way mirror!), then put a metal reflector on the end.. The waves would bounce around inside until you slashed someone with it. Not quite an 'energy sword' but I think it comes close.
If a website wants me to give them money to provide content, their advertisers can find a better way of shoving ads down my throat. It isn't our fault that we're smarter than their marketing nerds. If they make it, we can beat it, if they can make it better, we can beat that.. let's see who runs out of money first!
With so many cartoons out there, why do so many of them suck? For starters we have: Dave, Cathy, Family Circus and Spiderman! I mean, if these people just looked around they could find some good cartoons like Penny Arcade, Sluggy Freelance, and some of the stuff on Keenspace, like MacHall. I'm sure there are a bunch of starving comic writers who are dying for syndication while a lot of cartoons that really suck are being published.
Maybe the two styles of play could be married.. Have one player orchestrate a war, and have others fight the battles. Could make for an interesting and complex game, but it would be the best of both worlds!
It seems to me that Bioware butchered the AD&D franchise with Baldur's Gate 2. I mean, it's fun and all, but I demand dynamic games. It's good to see that they're redeeming themselves with Neverwinter Nights.
[Oh come on, it's ontopic.. turnbased games.. get it?]
It simply isn't realistic. Life doesn't pause for you and let you take a breather. Granted a lot of real time games suck (because they stress building crap and then rushing with everything.)
What we really need are more real time tactical games.
Ever heard of Myth: The Fallen Lords and Myth II: Soulblighter? Two of the goriest games ever made, but that doesn't mean they aren't great games. In my opinion, they're two of the finest tactical games ever made (move over StarCraft!)
Like Rune, some units (well only Ghols) could use body parts as weapons. The gore wasn't added for shock value, it was added to make things realistic. Those silly Dogma guys fail to realize that 640x480 looks like crap and that games devoid of any realism or modern technology tend to suck.
DirectTV, a subscription based service was beaten. Granted, they reclaimed what was their's, but it worked. It may have only worked for a while, but it proves that if they build it, we can beat it.
Do you honestly believe that their software will be uncrackable? And if it is? We all just switch over to Linux or OSX. A taste of corporate stupidity and competition might turn Microsoft into a company that makes quality products (yes, I was joking.)
The bottom line is that if M$ does this, it'll be the biggest gunshot wound to the foot since Apple not liscensing out their OS back in the day.
Also with subscription based software, has anyone considered the posibility that companies could easily install spyware? (Well, they probably have considered this..) But a company could create a piece of software to check to see if you're paying for your other software, then they sell the list of non-paying customers to another company, blam! It's so simple it's horrifying. Subscription based software would be worse than copy-protected harddrives.
Spam doesn't bother me, because I don't get any. One of my e-mail accounts is avaible to my friends, the other can be seen here (saeru00@hotmail.com, come on SPAM me, see if I care). Maybe if people didn't leave their e-mail address lying around or use AOHELL, there wouldn't be so much of a problem.
And no, I'm not trolling.
Websense is the censorware of choice at my school. It's downright hilarious. The site blocks DarwinAwards.com, but fails to block Rotten.com. So we can't read about people who got themselves killed, but we can look at them..

This e-mail OBVIOUSLY has some momentum, and I do believe that it will compel people to put that on their census. For Obi's sake, it was slashdotted!

Just rename your mp3s to their hex values. Problem solved.

I can foresee a day when people will warez their CPU and their motherboard (not to mention 3d accelerator, soundcard and ethernet card!).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there were no giant robots in the original.
Told you so.

I bet it'll happen again sometime. Maybe not in our lifetime, but it'll happen, and someone will be there to sell t-shirts.
always harnessed for the engines of evil?

You might not want to click it.. unless you're into that kind of thing.

Oh great, now we'll have bigger clunkier browsers and even more script kiddies who think java is 133t. What next? "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US."?
