It's an educational game involving programming robots. You're an astronaut with a mission to explore space, and you have a variety of robots at your disposal. You can control them individually, or more effectively, you're supposed to program them to be automated. Sort of third-person FPS with RTS elements, where you code your own units. It uses its own somewhat OOP language, and is just fun with variety of missions.
Considering how old it is it's kinda still expensive, but give it a go (there should be a demo iirc).
But now we can have it inside the person for months/years, and just wait for the perfect moment for the poison to be released. Might even have people go through mandated health care including vaccination, and anyone who steps out of line is just quietly killed off.
I thought Australian immigration requires anyone to be of at least 1 or 2 years (depending on few factors) as a permanent resident before they can apply to become a citizen, and becoming a PR in itself takes a while. Maybe easier to get the PR status for him due to his status and wealth, but citizenship is entirely different, I think? Possibly also requires certain amount of stay in the country to earn it. Would appreciate if any/.er has better detail on immigration requirements.
Because otherwise this just sounds like a really early non-news. Good on him for coming over to this side of the oceans though.
... that shouldn't even be a problem in the first place. What's so wrong with passports again? They already have various other security (like RFID chips, iirc), and they're much more tightly controlled than phones you can buy off ebay.
This is just human nature. I'm sure even if it wasn't for financial reasons, the way wikipedia is written, it's purely worked on by people with interests in the topics they describe. Why would someone who has no vested interest in the page do any work on improving it?
And it is that "legacy support" that is causing half the problems of Windows. It's never good to support legacy, at least, not without very careful consideration. Considering sandboxing though, it might just be alright to have all the legacy stuff in a VM-like environment entirely and have your host system be something a lot more stable.
That just sounds like having linux host + windows guests though.

What, you carry around a dedicated landline phone with a really long spool of copper wire?
Or do you mean you've invented a crazy piece of wire antenna that's somehow better than all the other antennas around found in phones?

And this regulator can't have itself vary depending on temperature?
The fact that this news like this actually got out is news in itself.

That's one hell of a career jump. A tasty one too, I might add, maybe I should get in on brewing too....
