"The interface work will also enable us to easily extend Sunbird in the future, which will hopefully make it a lot easier to implement stuff like synchronization with a palm pilot for example."
media hype aside, the developers are aware of what features are needed in order to compete with outlook. like many people have pointed out: sunbird is currently at version 0.2.
(Hm. I suppose since they made a public announcement NDAs don't apply...)
I thought the Steam delivery system was just for the beta testers. I hate the bloody thing. Runs in the background, downloads maps as you need them, requires you to log on to play, etc. I figured it was a necessary evil as a beta tester; I'm not going to put up with it as a gamer. Is there some way to boycott this? First PowerPlay and now this shit. Valve isn't a game company - game companies make games.
They already have printers that do that (well, basically). If I remember correctly, the printer's "ink" is a glue that is passed over a layer of powdered plastic. Layer by layer of powder bonds with the glue to create the 3D object. If you can create it in 3ds max (or whatever your software of choice is) then you can create a real-world model of it. The only limiting factor is the size of the printing bay.
What offends *me* is your ignorance, gross generalizations, and knee-jerk reactions. By your logic I assume we should also outlaw writing. After all, they did find a letter with instructions for the terrorists. It's antiquated, hand-written messages like that that are the *real* danger to this country. Only through illiteracy can we be truly safe.
As for me, I'm off to bed. No, really. I have to get some sleep before I go to work tomorrow.
Jeez... I really hope this was just a sarcastic post that went over my head b/c I was sleepy... "Communist open source tools"? Yeah, it's gotta be a joke. No one could say that with a straight face and mean it.
Not that I've tried... I just assume they would be. Due to the conditions of the environment. And stuff.
Gotta go.
It's a myth (the story, not the game...)

(I forget where I first read this. The official site now describes each game as a chapter in an ongoing saga, so I suppose the following is irrelevant. Still, it's another way of looking at things. If you don't agree then moderate me away...)
Each game in The Legend of Zelda series is supposed to be a retelling of the same myth. Hence the root story is always the same (Gannon kidnaps Zelda and tries to steal the Triforce, Link must battle to save both). The games taht varied from this path (Link's Awakening, Majora's Mask) are simply tales created to bolster the legend. (i.e. Link is such a great hero he must have done more than just defeat Ganon).
With each retelling of the myth the narrative becomes more complex and more great deeds are attributed to Link (hence the increasing depth and scope of each game). As long as this holds true in Link's Game Cube excursion, I won't mind the fact that ultimately I'm just saving the princess again. Ocarina of time had so much else going on there were a few times I forgot I was supposed to be saving Zelda at all...
That said, I do hope Link isn't a child through the entire GC adventure... He's cute and all, but he may be just a little too cute...

As for Mario... Well, some things never change.
