For some reason, while at level 3, gamers never just stay there and continue to lord over level 2 and 1 mobs. I wonder if you just kept making interesting quests that have level 3s continuously romping about in level 1 & 2 areas, if they would choose not to advance, even if the level cap was 50.
There must be people out there who want to be big fish in a little pond.
See, now by his allegories, this would not be hold as it is an achievement to be toothier than the average Osmond. You might, however, say toothier than your average British octogenarian.
FEAR...no idea why I'm referencing Wikipedia for this.
That was a first-person shooter with a great story, was actually scary, and had you reeling at just how screwed up it all was after you finished playing. I recommend.
If I can't poke it in the eye or shove a sword through its guts, I don't consider it true 3D. Give me a holodeck with the safety features disabled, a BFG, and a flask of whiskey -- then we'll talk about licensing your technology.
You can use HTML tags such as bold and italics instead of _do_, etc. I understand that Rogue/Nethack managed to do great things with just the available characters on your keyboard, but this is the 21st century...
I remember my friend's father, a lawyer, asking what I did for a living. I told him I'm a systems administrator. He said, "That's a nice trade." Since his son and I went to the same EE school and his son does chip design for Intel and I do sys admin stuff, AND the fact that he's a lawyer, I believe he was impressing upon me the fact that I wasn't doing enough with my life.:-)
One thing people here are looking for in virtualized environments are snapshots and disaster recovery simplicity. All the products handle moving VMs from one box to another differently, and so far I've heard VMWare is much easier than the rest. So it's not just hardware and OS support, it's ease of management -- which is VMWare's strength (though you pay for it).
The articles should be posted in a slightly less opinionated format. Leave the opinions for the discussion. When's the last time you were in an English class where the professor said the next assignment was "Discuss how Netscape was completely mismanaged allowing their loss of the browser market share that contributed to their eventual demise as an Internet power." It's fine, except it starts out jaded.
But don't listen to me. I'm just an evil conservative.
I think you're confusing Conservative and Liberal with being conservative or being liberal. Conservative (little c) generally means you want less drastic change -- you're content with the status quo (in my original post, this was a two century run of white male vice presidents - which as it happens has more to do with culture than with race, I'd suspect). I'm conservative about some things and liberal with others.
Conservative, these days, often gets mixed up with war-loving Neo-cons, while Liberal is a peace-loving, communistic hippy. It hurts to see descriptions of thinking become insults, and then have that be the understood definition.
There's good and bad to both sides: conservatives generally want you to do it yourself without the government's help (and everyone's taxes) -- America offers you the opportunity, it's up to you to grasp it. Liberal thinking is that not everyone really gets that opportunity without some effort on other people's part. Both sides have merit...we can neither be too hard nor too soft.
I was thinking the opposite. Conservatives being conservative, and being McCain's voting majority, would likely have preferred a white male running mate. I suspect he'll lose more votes from his base than he'll gain from uncertains or democrats. Regardless, it's a bold move in many ways, but I don't think it was politically smart (if I may insert an oxymoron).
I think of all those interfaces the most likely to still be used is Ethernet cabling. Get a NAS with ipv6 and dhcp enabled. Assuming we've adopted ipv6 in the next 25 years, this may be your best bet. Also consider wireless!
Yes, the UK has a well-developed mass transit system, small towns with a variety of stores close together, and walkable cities.
The US has residential suburbs a couple miles from the supermarket which is a couple miles from downtown which is a couple miles from Walmart. You can consider us well ahead of the curve once Star Trek transporters become the normal mode of travel.
I drew up a rough design doc about related pieces of the world. Players need food so they hunt deer but they can't overhunt or the herds will thin. So you learn to cook or salt the meat to make it last longer. Wolves can eat both the deer and NPC farmers so you need to keep those under control. Villages will have NPCs you grow relationships with...bit an Orc attack undefended may kill Mary the pie maker and you no longer get cheap pies...
But then it's no longer just the adrenaline rush of hunting and killing that current games supply...it's more like life which is antithetical to a role-playing game.
You know, I wrote it because it seemed appropriate. I'll google it to see if it's been used before. I can't imagine it hasn't in some form or another. It's profound, but hardly an uncommon thought.
So I don't understand why someone has modded your post insightful.
Funny what $10 will get you...(kidding).
So sure, no recount potential with electronic voting. But what makes you think recounting is going to go much differently the second time around? There are elections that have had three paper recounts, all with different outcomes.
I agree that electronic-only voting should be ended, but our gains will be small there. I think a way to verify your own vote would be good, though I haven't heard or thought of a way to do this safely.
What app would Seinfeld want to use on Windows for video editing or DVD authoring?
I was thinking of Windows MovieMaker though I don't think I've ever used it so not sure how simple/advanced it might be. Anyway, it's all in good fun...Macs are designer computers with some nice pre-installed apps for home users. PITA to deploy on a business network though.
You seem to think ballot voting was more reliable before electronic voting. I'll grant you that electronic voting has the potential to forge votes more easily (...if (Gore) then (Bush)...), but there has always been issues with large numbers of people voting: stuffed boxes, lost boxes, poor counting, false counting. When you think of what's at stake (leader of the free world), you'll realize that some people will do whatever it takes to get their person elected.
That being said, stay angry, keep your protests going, and we'll all try to get something for the better.

The question is, who would he lose them to?
People would just not vote.

Seriously, that is some major FUD of which IT just became a victim.
share space with someone who can afford AC. Virtualize services to reduce machines.

I googled for "atari 2600 shields blue". And I think I did play that game in my youth...
