...spend less time on the road and minimize your exposure to the dangers of rain.
Granted, you are in fact not on the road when you're flying ; however I'm pretty sure that does carry with it a load of other dangers not normally present in driving.
World of Warcraft is like a car, because at the start of your journey, you haven't made any progress.
You must choose a direction (class, spec, etc) initially, but you can change directions at will.
Eventually, both the fast drivers (hardcore) and slow drivers (casual) can get to the same destination, given enough gas (time).
Once you get to your chosen destination, you can still choose another direction and start heading in that route (reroll, different spec, etc). There is no "end" until the car is destroyed (WoW uninstalled).
Now now, we don't need any of that.
I'm not sure I want to know what you kids do with chairs these days, but where I come from chairs were for resting on, not for assimilating, or whatever it is you kids call it these days.
Just a markup language, not really all that different from ANSI or RIP back in the day, except more readable.

Integration of [concept a] with [concept b] is really all "new" ideas is about. Integration itself is nothing new, though.
and concurrent revisions
Many things have had concurrent-revisioning.
Earliest that comes to mind for me is MUD-administration, however I'm sure that came from somewhere else.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Realistically no new 'concepts' themselves are being designed, instead people come up with different ways to do the same stuff. This can be for any of many reasons; enhance usability, scale to a broader audience, scale to a broader dataset, increase efficiency.
Often times things done to enhance one area have a net effect of enhancing another as well (sometimes entirely by accident).
The thought processes and concepts to come to these ends aren't any different, though, than they were 10, 20, 30 years ago.
The only thing that has changed is access to enough technology to convert the "old'n'busted" to the "new hotness".
Sure, we'll probably be seeing a lot more of this (this is the internet, folks, there's a lot of indie stuff out there).
Will networks pick it up? Probably not.
Is this the future of Cable? Definitely not. This business model won't pad the executives pockets enough.
This type of action does work for some shows though. Showcase in Canada picked this show up after a few successful "seasons" online.
There is, then, hope for these indie/online content producers, in the same way that there is hope for those who make iP*d apps and Steam/XBL online games.
It probably won't make anyone a few hundred million dollars, but it might net a few people a couple hundred thousand, which is still a very respectable amount of money when you're not burning it on 10,000/night hookers.
Since this takes 2 sources (the constructor, and the tape) the next step, obviously, is to make it (depending on the values entered through the tape) generate either a new constructor or a new tape.
Either feed the new constructor a new (potentially different) tape, and see what comes out, or feed the new tape to an existing constructor.
Run ad infinitum until the game is over (either no further replication, or a full life-area), divide the number of generations by 34 million, and extrapolate how many more generations humans have.
IANAPHD, but I'm guessing it's due to the studies showing that the body has a natural tendency to react against foreign objects. Rejection of the donor organ is one of the major concerns in transplants today (beyond the actual surgery), if I'm not mistaken.
A long-term implantable artificial heart is quite foreign.
A heart grown from one's own stem-cells, carrying one's own DNA within its cellular makeup is slightly less-foreign (even if it was grown in a lab instead of inside a womb).
PSX still had major, first-party titles being made in 2004 (10 years later) and still has even a few titles made for it today by small-ish, indie, or foreign studios.
PS2 came out in 2000 (6 years later)
PS2 still has major, first-party titles being made today (10 years later).
PS3 came out in 2006
I'd say PS3 has another 3 years rather than 7.
I'd say (by pure extrapolation) that PS3 will continue to have games being developed and released on it will into 2016.
Just because a new system might come out in 2012 (which will probably run GLaDOS, instead of XMB/Linux), doesn't mean that the previous-gen will just be thrown out.
Sony will continue to make money off of their non-bleeding-edge consumers. It would be stupid not to.
Entering the code required the game to be paused. Start wasn't part of the code, it was used to resume the game.
No, entering the code required you be at the title screen.
Start wasn't part of the code, so in that respect you are correct, but the button used to trigger game-start, not to resume game.
Hence, to play Contra in 2p with the code was up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-b-a-select-start.
Works exactly the same
Do you not remember the many stories when the Wii came out of people attempting to connect their wiimote to their plasma and LCD TVs with extreme prejudice?
The wiimotes were unharmed. The TVs less-so.
Squeeze a wet towel, and enough water comes out that you can then soak up some more.
Eventually, once there's very little-to-no water left to soak up, and you've wrung out as much as you can (you can wring a lot out by squeezing using high-pressure rollers), getting the rest of the oil separated from the towel is easy.
Burn it
Oh, you wanted something efficient? useful to society perhaps?
Roll the towels up into logs, ship them off to a poor/developing non-tropical country, and let them burn them for heat during the winter.
Wouldn't it then be "Friend Computer" instead of "Dear Leader"?
Are you insinuating that the Computer is a Communist Mutant from the Outside? What's your sixpack's security clearance?
Not in the slightest.
I am merely stating that those communist mutant traitors from the outside have become so enamoured by our Friend Computer (which is, by far, the best Friend Computer a clone could ever want), that they have attempted to develop their own. (*)
Your questions seem to indicate that my statements have caused you unrest. I deeply apologize for limiting in any way the amount of fun and happiness you're experiencing, but perhaps you might be best served by our Friend Computer in this regard.
Please proceed directly to the nearest confession booth. Friend computer has many new and exciting drugs for you to test^H^H^H^Henjoy, all of which may enhance your life, or at least cease any further unhappy experiences.
I suggest you hurry, fun is mandatory.
(*) based on reports from infrareds sent (by Friend Computer) to test that radiation exposure outside is, indeed, at an acceptable level
Wouldn't it then be "Friend Computer" instead of "Dear Leader"?
And yes, I'm already on my way to the confession booth, for my daily dosages of Fun(TM) and Happiness(TM).
You can only drink so much undistilled beer before evacuating (whether via urine, sweat, etc). Your body has a lot more time to deal with the lower volumes of poison ingested.
Similar quantities of the distilled liquid, containing higher concentration of poison by volume, become much more toxic.

Balmer [...] assimilating a chair
Now now, we don't need any of that.

Fuck everything, we're doing five screens.
What's the 5th screen for? removing the top layer of skin?

I wouldn't worry too much about it, then.

Give it up already.
These jokes are all being scraped from the bottom of the barrel.
I didn't know anyone could get into that position. Is she a contortionist or something?
No, it was a failed experiment.
She can't get out of that pose, now, and is unable to move anything other than her left eye, you insensitive clod.

Try that with your Wiimote :p
Works exactly the same
Do you not remember the many stories when the Wii came out of people attempting to connect their wiimote to their plasma and LCD TVs with extreme prejudice?
The wiimotes were unharmed. The TVs less-so.
All of the buttons on DualShock 2 and 3 are pressure sensitive.
Few games take advantage of it though.

The post I responded to never mentioned how they are using citrix. There are many ways.
From GGP:
...it's all one big virtual desktop because of citrix
And more importantly, are you a member of a secret society?
No, I am not a member of your secret society.
It is obvious you are in one. Why else would you be posting anonymously?
Friend computer knows where you are and will enact due punishment for your treasonous acts.
May FC have mercy on your genetic makeup.

Yes, but is now in a higher concentration, as you've taken a lot of the water out.
