It isn't good for freedom because it involves copyleft. It does nothing to keep anyone free. It's just another sort of shackle. Throw off the shackles!
Even with all that, they still won't be able to avoid that very silent table until they hit it and might or might not be able to get around it with the technologies you just mentioned.
And I purposely limited it because people are talking about computer and console games which, by their very definition now-a-days (when is the last time a text adventure was released?) is a video game.
What sort of feed back to you envision for games like various versions of solitaire?
How about Hearts? Poker?
If it can be done, bonus, but I'm not losing any sleep over it.
After I hit submit for my original post, I thought about text-based games but since I did give the caveat of "video" in my response, I didn't think a follow up was necessary. Apparently it was.
They can be found in 23 states and DC. States are scattered from east coast to west coast as far as Oklahoma.
They don't have a large distribution of stores, but if B&N really is poised to fall, I'd say Books-a-Million would be more likely to buy them out then Borders.
The book store industry isnt dying, the publishers are slowly killing it.
I hate to pick a nit, but if the publishers are slowly killing the book store industry, doesn't that necessitate that the book store industry to die? And if that is the case, than wouldn't it be true to say that the book store is dying with the caveat being that publishers are the ones killing it? Just asking.
Actually, I wanted to do this as extra work. I had straight A's and time on my hands to do extra credit work and supposedly they had a policy of letting students pick their own final projects. This would have been epic. EPIC I tell you.
I had straight A's in class during the period I had approached my instructor about this.
It's possible that the guys in TFA are better at this than I am, and I'm willing to accept that.
It would have been easy enough to build a circuit that would have worked on such a weak signal and then built it up. I had all sorts of practical uses for such a circuit. I asked about signing a waiver saying ITT wouldn't be liable for my stupidity should it result in myself getting hurt and they still weren't interested (anything I built in school they claimed ownership of so they would have made a mint had I developed something cool like this).
While I have no problems with making games accessible to those with handicaps, video games are a visual thing (as hinted at in the descriptive word "video"). How would you make a video game for a person who cannot process visual cues or input?
And my instructors at ITT wouldn't let me build a circuit that would work off the voltages that could be taken from the temples (I could pick up a signal using the o-scopes at school and figured I could build a circuit to go off that, instructors were worried about me being electrocuted (lolwut?!))

ah, the joys of reading the fine article. (:

True, but either way.
true enough
Oh I know all this. Still disgusting.
The part about maggots doesn't bother me.
Nope, but since rabbits were carnivores before being vegans, I'm not surprised. It seems bunnies still have a bit of the old blood lust in 'em.
*Flush the wound repeatedly with sterile water or fresh urine to remove the maggots.
Might I just be the one to say "EWWWWWWWWWWW!"
Hungry dog saves man's life by eating a toe.
Wow.
That would be epic, thanks for the link!
The closest one is in Memphis, but having a website to start off with is awesome. Again, thanks!

Thanks for refining my answer. (:

Have we forgotten about Books-A-Million? I'd say they are doing a good bit of business. It's my preferred book store.
I guess I won't be self-publishing via Barnes-and-Noble's PubIt! program. Ah well. c'est la vie.

ah.
Are you serious? Driving under that thing would give me a new phobia (and I only have one).
That's pretty hot.
I didn't realize it got that hot in there. I figured they were at most no more than 10 degrees above room.
My concern is this:
If it does well in China (which does have a population and congestion issue), it will creep around the world.
100C is awful hot.
