delauter "The act committed when one person threatens to sue another for using the first person's name without authorization.
Delautering is the next level and more general form of scientologying, which is suing or threatening to sue for calling Scientology bogus."
TV audience engagement currently requires (positively or negatively) engaging content. That's why you see people using sites & social media to engage around television shows.
Manufacturers & broadcast companies don't HAVE to cater to their users' engagement desires, but I don't think there's much to debate on the value of doing so. Interacting well with your customers and building a strong community around your brand are known ways to develop profit centers.
If TV isn't broke, why fix it? Because the status quo is ok as your business's starting point, but shouldn't be the end goal.
Have you ever actually undergone an actual ADHD test & not simply a psychological evaluation? It's a battery of tests that incorporates psych evals, IQ tests, memory tests, and attention-measurement tests.
I'm not sure what test you're referring to, but regardless, you're trolling. This is a very real condition and without educating yourself about the disorder, it's incredibly difficult to overcome. And purely medicating ADHD is nearly unheard of as an actual solution to the issue (note: this is not to say that it doesn't happen, but that it isn't a solution & the doctors/parents doing this are acting irresponsibly). Medication should be paired with coaching & therapy.
I could go on, but really, all I wanted to do was ask that you stop your ignorant trolling.
Kongregate is an online game portal with several neat things available to players and devs. They just added the Kongregate Collabs: http://www.kongregate.com/collabs
I can't wait to see what comes out of there.
Here are some quick marketing-style bullet points about the latest version of Flash Player (including the 3D API): http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/
I wasn't able to find any details on the implementation of Quake Live, but I wouldn't be totally shocked if the Flash Cross-Compiler (compiles C/C++ into Flash) is involved. I'm expecting someone to blow my mind with that somehow.
It's a bit late in the thread to be relevant to other people, but this link may shed some light on dealing with your younger players:

I've been tutoring a few students for the past year and noticed that several of them had this "You either got it or you don't" mentality. For some, it can be difficult to convince them otherwise. But I find that the best way to get them to be willing to challenge themselves is EXACTLY what you've been doing: lead them into it gradually. It makes sense when you realize that there are two issues here: their concept of intelligence and the lowered self-esteem that comes naturally from years of thinking "I don't got it."
I attribute my proposal being accepted to the fact that I'm implementing a real-time web version of a game that makes my mentor (and probably other proposal-choosers for Portland State University) feel quite nostalgic.
When I called him to initially discuss the idea, he actually cut me off mid-sentence and said--with Renee-Zellweger-like tearful joy in his voice--"You had me at 'Nomic'."
The formatting of this story just smacks of pre-written garbage. I googled for "specifically, Linux's lack of Token Ring support" and got the following two links:
I'm only silent at the moment because my current opinion of "I didn't like it" isn't constructive. I need to sit down and examine my experiences in the class and decide what I think needs to be changed, how, etc. I'd like to do some research into what's being done elsewhere to maybe get some insight into what the professionals (industry professionals, not education professionals) think is important. I'm planning on letting the people involved with the course and the department know how I feel, but I'd rather not go in and seem like some kid that just wanted to play games all semester. I'd like to be able to tell them what I want, not just what I don't want.
I'd be happy to give my input, but the problem is that I don't think I'm in much of a position to steer the course. I'm also not sure too many of the students in there are, either.
I actually have a game concept I'm currently developing and am not looking for any help at the moment. When it's been better developed, then I'll need to start considering game design details. I don't see that happening within the next 6 months, though, so I'm happy to wait for the next go-round of the course.
As far as joining the SVGA goes, I've just been waiting for a meeting time that I could actually attend. If I'm not at school, I'm at work, and usually past 5PM.
I just dropped this course last week. I was kind of disappointed by it. The texts are a book on game design and Sam's Teach Yourself Game Programming in 24 Hours. The classes are fairly unstructured. Either the professor is running down bullet points from the next chapter on game design principles or we're working on our projects. So far, two projects have been assigned for the semester. One has come and gone and the other was just assigned. The first was an independent game (think "flash game") using a program called Game Maker. The second is a group project involving Game Maker.
I'm holding out until next semester, when there is supposed to be someone hired from the game industry specifically for the purpose of teaching this course. I have high hopes for the curriculum as a whole, but think I'd rather reap the benefits from lessons learned by the inaugural group rather than stumble through unchartered territory.
You, sir, have obviously never owned a portion of the sky before. While you are limited in how high you can build a wall around it, as far as what you do in that portion of the sky is completely up to you. In fact, the sky's the limit!
As a friend from high school used to say, that movie got attacked by a mob of suits and "tag-teamed like Jenna Jameson".

Knoppix Hacks

· Score: 5, Funny
Rankin has collected a "who's who" of Linux hackers to contribute to this book: John Andrews, creator of Damn Small Linux; Fabian Franz, creator of FreeNX server; Alex de Landgraaf, creator of Morphix; Simon Peter, developer of klik; Wim Vandersmissen, creator of ClusterKnoppix and many others no less accomplished, all of whom have contributed to the future of free software/open source development.
I emailed Simon Peter for information about klik, but he denied involvement with it. I pointed to this review in a followup email as evidence. Again, he denied it in his reply. Upon my pointing to him being listed on the klik site, he replied "I don't know this klik you're talking about," denying his involvement a third time. Then a rooster crowed twice.
This is 'news for nerds.' In this instance, Bush is anti-nerd and Kerry is pro-nerd. Would you have been happier if the poster had added "Bush isn't against outsourcing"? What if the roles were flipped and the poster said "Bush is against outsourcing"?
While this may be a community for nerds, I'm sure there are plenty of uninformed people here that may or may not know where the current candidates (that have a shot at winning) stand on issues that affect this community. The poster is simply pointing out the pro-nerd candidate for this topic (which also helps for people who decide to just read the summary and not the article).
Of course my Republican employer, having been pointed to this report, insisted that whoever they had reading the WMD report was illiterate because it clearly shows that Iraq had WMDs and major WMD programs. With a shit-eating grin on my face, I calmly said "I think you just proved this report's conclusions."
When I was 18, I'd already heard so much controversy over democrats being disenfranchised (locally and in other parts of the nation) that I registered as a Republican. I'm very much a democrat in nature and in my beliefs, almost to the point of libertarianism, but I live in a very conservative and predominantly Republican, and I'll be damned if I'm kept from voting because of the party I signed on with. After hearing about all of the latest efforts (ie. signing up democrats to vote and then trashing the forms) to disenfranchise democrats, I'm glad I belong to the GOP.
When I walk out of the voting booth, though, I'll proudly proclaim "I'm a Republican and I voted for John Kerry" as I leave. I'll still be Republican on paper, though.
Just thought I'd give a personal example of how absolutely right you are.
