Shadowbane failed because they couldn't keep the server up for more than 4 hours at a time for the first 3 months after release, and couldn't keep the server up during a city siege within a year after release. Eventually they hemorrhaged enough players that the servers could handle it, by which time critical mass for any kind of commercial success was long gone.
In the aerospace world, interface documents define the interface. If a part doesn't conform to the interface document, the part is broken, not the document. The part gets fixed, not the documentation.
This is true, and the reason I'm working with data structures that have 9 bit floats and 48 bit booleans.
Obama hires Indian code-slaves to make a website to help people find jobs. McBushcain would have given Haliburton $200 billion to maybe hire some more people, if they wanted to. Ron Paul would have left unemployment for the market to solve and hit the snooze button on his alarm.
Firefox "was about defending open standards from Microsoft's attempt to lock people into Internet Explorer 6 and its proprietary approaches"? Maybe in Stallman's world.
In the words of one of Firefox's creators: (http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/ben/archives/009698.html) "We discussed the rot within Mozilla, which we blamed on Netscape and Mozilla's inability to assert independence. He suggested it'd be perhaps preferable to start again on the user interface, much of the code in the front end was so bloated and bad that it was better off starting from a fresh perspective.... These browser efforts were reactions to the rot we had seen in the Mozilla application suite."
The developers need it because the settings exist before the control panels that manipulate them. Totally different teams of people are involved in kernel/infrastructure coding as opposed to UI/HMI. The "special strings" are a general feature used since Windows 95 to make things appear in the file system that don't actually reside on the disk, including printers and the standard control panel.
Don't forget the Ares V. It really would have been nice if the article was clearer about whether there was a specific rocket in mind, or if they are actually going to the drawing board for something totally new.
Pure guesswork here, but perhaps the commercial alternatives to Ares suggested by the Augustine commission can't reach the safety standard NASA is asking for? Or can't do so profitably, which for anyone but NASA is the same as being unable to do it?
Carpet bombing industrial (ie, population) centers. The fact that we don't anymore has more to do with the availability of precision bombs than development of new ethics.
Actually, the military would quite like to defend us from nuclear attack through a variety of techniques. It's the Democrats who think mutually assured destruction is fine.
Having modded for a few different games, I really appreciate the Unreal engine for one specific reason: it assumes that all the space you haven't touched is filled rather than empty. That way, creating the basic flow of a level is just a matter of drawing out a cuboid per room and subtracting it from the filled space. By contrast, the id style starting with empty space requires you to create a cuboid for each wall, ceiling, and floor. There's a three page tutorial on how to make all the seams line up properly - and heaven help you if your room isn't a simple rectangle.
The next step, as far as policy recommendations go, is for more government initiatives and funding of big science through NASA, NSF, NIH, and DOE. Even setting funding/salaries at a level making them employers of last resort for scientists, it would halt the negative feedback loop that's depressing desirability of scientific careers and degrees. The return on investment for the taxpayers is through the technologies that result and indirect expansion of GDP many times in excess of the direct investment in salaries.
There is nothing "new" about it: people--probably many of the same kind of people who have signed this petition--have been using organized intimidation of other people for 90 millennia. And they haven't stopped at intimidation: they have killed, injured, and discriminated.
"Man installs data sniffer on government computer" is probably closer to the story that concerned the FBI.

That's kind of the point. If you are doing 5mph in a 45mph without an emergency reason for doing so, you are being an ass - regardless of the type of vehicle you're doing it in. All the campaigns to increase respect for cyclists have it backwards as far as who is disrespecting whom.
The difference is that Secret World is aiming to make their game a game. Oh, and UO was classless and Shadowbane had politics and territory control long before Eve did either of these things.
Hard disks have a highe life expectancy than mainboards
Really? Over the past 20 years I've averaged 2.5 HDs per motherboard and only ever replaced a motherboard due to useless obsolescence rather than failure. Solid state vs object spinning at thousands of RPM is usually no contest.

Doubt is good. Healthy skepticism is a sign of maturity and intellectual involvement.
Now if only the people doubting science weren't turning to creationism/fundamentalism/angels/aliens/homeopathy/etc instead...
The nice thing about gravity wells is they have less tendency to outgas when punctured.

Myst was also remade as realMyst, with realtime rendering as good as or better than the original stills. (And a bonus level)

You also might see that Cthullu is in your laundry hamper. Either way you're making wild claims with no supporting argument.
They make sense as aliases to sites that also have standard domain names.

That's assuming there's objectively such a thing as a world-line. I favor the view that wave functions are the fundamental reality.
Mac users already subsidised their upgrades with the $1000 hardware premium.
