Bleh, Aimster, ICQ. Who the hell didn't see these file trading systems back in 90?
Um I want to message my friend online... but I can't....
Duh, ICQ....
Er I want to share my files with everyone who wants to download them and not have someone in control
Duh, Gnutella/ICQster/whatever.
Just like probably thousands of other computer geeks, I came up with Gnutella and AIMster in theory, but never implemented it because of the waste of time to code it.
But there is always someone with too much time on their hands that will.
Its something that is obvious a next step... Its the Hasbro's of the world that want to keep all this intellectal property to themselves so they can bastardize it and hope to get money from you. When everyone would be happier if culture was free after its made...
How long until people stop competing against each other in a buisness world, and work together?
Yeah, everyone loves to write redundant code to just to compete with microsoft Office, or Quake, or whatnot...
We need some sort of value added system, maybe in addition to GNU licence. Something that made sense for buisnesses to buy into.
Then I could sit and laugh when whiney geeks get upset when I play monopoly games.
Geek #1: blah blah blah, bad monopoly.
Me: Whatever kid, I'm too busy getting drunk with call girls, and lighting my cigars with 50s.
Heh, the US government would arrest you if it caught you growing peanuts in your backyard.
I'll get some funding via stupid IT jobs. With my extra cash, I'm buying servos, circuit boards that emulate c++ programs then playing with a torch in my grandfather's junkyard.
Transformers definately can be made, the biggest obsticle is bipedal movement... which I think could be done with a balance system made up of a fluid and a series of floats.
Bleh, who knows how far I'll get, but its going to be friggin fun. Until I get stung by all the bees in the place.
Selling sex is wrong? When it comes to base prostitution, I can understand, helps keep mental rejects from spreading some VD...
But I'd have to think that throught all of fucking history most parents are guilty of persuading their daughters to be upstanding and get a good husband instead of one without a future... Go for the money is the motto. Not much different than prostitution here.
I don't see anything wrong with any girl selling their body for money, its theirs to do with as they want. Wow, softcore porn as characters. Who cares?

Got Tracks?

I thought tracks were designed for vehicles so they could spin and turn with no steering... I guess they double as tires now for people who can't afford a lift kit and bigger tires.
Seriously how hard is it to write code that doesn't give extra data to the client?
And maybe this has been brought up before, but software already exists to cheat.
I say let everyone cheat and then suddenly the playing field is balanced.
If only a few people cheat then nothing is fair.
Maybe you just misunderstood

One of the main goals of databasing human genes is to find out what traits they influence.
In the future we'll have this information, but currently the task is deemed as daunting
Sure my nick is CrazyJim, but I don't if this is thr craziest thing you ever heard... Thats kinda odd. I really think you misunderstood me. Seriously, go ask a genetics professor about what genes link to what phenotype and he'll prolly shrug or say that he's working on it.

I'm just finishing Scientific Computing at Carnegie Mellon and one of my main focuses is biological seqencing.
Everyone is up in arms because they don't think they can link genes or a combination of genes with a physical maifested trait(phenotype), but in actuality one can easily imagine and possibly roughly design an expensive and elaborate program or system of networks that would allow the following blackbox scenerio to work:
Enter a list of people.
In this list, each person has two objects.
Object 1: DNA string
Object 2: Phenotypes of note.
Now once this data is entered into the complex blackbox, it would proceed to reverse engineer which genes are responsible for the traits.
Large hard to copy blackboxes are great tools for keeping together your local monopolist.

How do you become investor?
Well
A: You spend a lifetime and earn it *laugh*
or most likely
B: Daddy spent his lifestime earning money and exploiting others and gives you a couple million.
The concept of money and interest don't really make sense when you start crossing a generation or two, it just lets people who have no brain cells dictate how the world will develop.
There are tons of technologies and sciences worth investing and cornering the market on, but if you're a brain dead Tycon's lil prodigy you're probably better off just putting your cash in a bank account
I'm just crushed by these pictures. I feel like a corner piece in the jigsaw puzzle in my understanding of human history is found. I look at the pictures, and the strong messages they convey such as the disparity of wealth and what humans are and capable of. I see many of the pictures, and would argue that they're better in black and white(the lone church for example), yet having them in color is a necessity. Someone mentions paintings, but paintings only show what an individual feels about a schene. By knowing the schene, you not only see what it is in concrete detail, but you also get to look back and peer into the painter's mind. Its really something, but I'm probably just overly fascinated by old photographs and overanalyze them too much.
I have no friggin clue how to get a job... I think its like hollywood's writers. If you're a good writer, you're not going to be found. All they want is good special effects. I think you'll see the same in computer games, no content, lots of special effects ala movie games.

Find a software product someone else hasn't made, or that someone hasn't created properly, then learn all the technical details you need to code it, and spend 2 solid months(500ish hours) on coding up and making it a reality and successful.
Then when Microsoft comes to pay you a visit, they're there to compete with you and steal your ideas.
This is why the last few episodes are spiteful, down, and soul searching.
The cheesy anime world was a reference to other anime and how it shouldn't be done.
The loss and hatred everyone felt was despair...
The ending, where he was asked if he was a god, and to end everything... was a reference to anime's roots, the bombing of Japan... Everything has to be extreme, there has to be ryhme or reason to everything, and how can you be a god if you don't have the power to destroy all of everyone.
What makes a man different than an animal? He can kill it? He's smarter? He obeys the same rules.
What makes a man stronger than another man, that he can kill it?
Doesn't make sense... A more universal answer is needed.
The dude seriously had some fucked up mental problems having to deal with the thoughts of life, everything, culture and people demanding a sequel. Especially a man drawn with the idea of immortality of ancestors through machine code writing down everything they know to power the bots... a loss of one's own personal family is almost ironic in one of those ways you almost want to think there is a real god out there who doesn't know the answers either but wants to see us act out in extreme cases to draw some selfish insight at our expense...
I hope thats a good explaination of the ending. In short, I believe Shinji acended to whatever heavens were there.
I grew up on a farm near a town with no commercialism because it was built because of a coal mine in the early part of last century. So what do you do?
Hang out with local hooligans and sit down and write strategy games is the best I could come up with.

Utilitarinism 101:)
Just go out and try to make yourself and to an extent(determined by your coefficient of liking society, mine is borderline 0 from a tough college life) other people happy.
You do this by learning about the world, leanring what makes you happy. Then figure out how you can get happy by achieving them. Try to accomplish the highest happiness over time that you can get. Everyone has a different happiness function.
Good enough explaination?
I just recently started playing my old c64 favorites through emulation.
Legacy of the ancients and to a lesser extent
Wasteland were two decent games.
But Agent USA captivated me... What was with this game... What are strategies... Why does it appeal at all...
Then I looked closer:
You're a person who is a part of society.
You can invest your gems to get more gems, but other people in the society are greedy and try and take them.
If they were not greedy, you could easily collect 100 and win.
Also, you should let the people have some gems to defend themselves too. So if you're greedy, then you loose too.
The map of the united states shows a FUZZ that spreads across the land like the old maps of the third reich(sp).
When you loose all your gems, you become a fuzz, which could be analogous to a homeless man rioting without any money for food.
If you have lots of gems and give them to people, you can be seen as a person distributing economic wealth.
Etc etc...
I mean to me it seems like someone would have wrote a strong paper on this game about its ties to Communism, but I couldn't find any.
I can't even find out the company that made the game. But this is probably my shortcomming.
