Study yourself, your spouse and/or children.
Seriously.
Get some domotica installed, and monitor your activities as you lead your life. Formulate hypotheses and vary the circumstances.
Besides the challenges involved in getting good readings, you will learn stuff about your family and yourselve that will otherwise always go unnoticed. And if you apply scientific rigor and creativity you might even get some real scientific results.
I just did a completely non-scientific experiment. I pressed reload three times on the main page of slashdot. It took 9, 9 and 10 seconds to get the complete refresh.
For good measure, I also tested with IE6. I got 12, 12 and 11 seconds.

You should not compare the experience that YOU had twenty years ago to the experience YOU have now playing computer games. That is not fair. You changed too much during those twenty years.
You probably had a richer imagination back then
Playing a computer game -any game- was relatively newer to you back then, than it is now.
You should probably try to find a way to compare the experience that a kid today, new to computers, would have with a particular game-genre, with the experience you had, twenty years ago, with a game of that genre.

Lots of interesting stuff there...
Sorry, but I can't find such an increase. There is a small spike, but not really significant. Also, in the cumulative graph nothing major happens.
In fact, I come to the opposite conclusion: there was no noticable increase afterward.
What about the parts of DirectX that are not about 3D? The article is only about the Direct3D part of DirectX.
I'm using DirectShow a lot myself actually. Are changes expected there too?
I have to disagree with you. I can not believe that in other countries all criminal acts are acted upon by law enforcement.
My opinion is that this "gedoogbeleid" happens in other countries too. But then why do we Dutch think we are the only ones having it?
Recently there have been some incidents (fireworks explosion in Enschede, fire at new-years party in Volendam) where poor law-enforcement has been part of the discussion. However, I think that a major reason why soft-drugs usage, copyrighted file trading (and perhaps other issues too) are not acted upon as much in the Netherlands as in other countries is, because everyone accepts them.
Dutch tolerance and freedom? Yes, but not given by the parliament or government, but defined by all Dutch people.
My download through this torrent link is corrupt. At 1:42 into the movie the sound becomes distorted and video stops.
I'm using BitTorrent 3.3, the newest as far as I'm aware.
I tried it twice. Did not help. Is anyone else having problems?

I got paid roughly 600EURO a month in 2001. Had a great time at Philips NatLab, soon to be the High Tech Campus. I am dutch, but I know they accept foreign students too.
And what about Image Based Rendering (IBR)?
Here is an introduction for people really interested.
The basic idea is to use photos to create a 3D-model of reality. If this could be made realtime the applications are endless!
Think about:
You have a cool Volume Serial Number. It might explain why it isn't working as advertised...

Well, could that perhaps lead to a company taking this open source for the great - but ugly - game, and creating a fancy "front-end" for it. And sell it for a few bucks?
Could be interesting.
Some tidbit of information that I didn't know about: Vint Cerf happens to have some STRONG ties to another mayor news-item: WorldCom: WorldCom: Resources: Cerf's Up (Check out the date on this piece)
Since I didn't know this, I guess other people might not know it either.
