This reminds me of a game where you would program little triagles to fly around a small 2 dimensional arena and try to blow each other up. I never really got into it but my friends said it was really fun. Anyone know what this is/was? It was pretty technical, not like a dumbed down programming thing like the windows version of MindStorms.
Anyway: to relate to the story: I would think coding the AI would be a LOT harder than building the cars.
Despite the fact that I am typing this on a shiny G4, I don't think it matters what a computer looks like. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a beige mid-tower. I wish the computer industry would get away from asthetics and focus more on power and affordabilty.
There are two fist posts above this, both say something like "fp." What is the deal with first posts!? I think most first posts can be compared to skipping every question on a test just to hand it in before everyone else. Why can't anyone post a first post that has something to do with the article?
I think that the OPTION of being able to use an installer wizzard is nice, but in an OS that is known to be so versitile and let you configure EVERYTHING the way you want it, it is a bad idea to require an installer script
I think that this article is trying to say that it is correlation. It doesn't breathe a word about Macs causing inteligence. Pointing out that it is all correlation will not discount the article.
If you created enough levels of policing you could have a lower level police the highest level. That would still have the problem of the highest level influencing people down the chain so as they are not policed. I don't think that could happen though.
If you can't see all of someone how the hell are you supposed to get a 3d model of them! Admitedly you could assume that their symetrical or something, but that is usually a bad assumption. And who is to say that the dimension you can't see isn't normal. Like a person who is 5'7" and three feet wide but whose depth is normal. Their side veiw would imply a normal 5'7" person.
When I noticed their policy about a year ago I thought it was strange too. I wonder why they don't want people linking their stuff. All it will do is get them more hits on their site.
Hey, I have no problem with people cheating in single player, I do it myself sometimes. When you cheat in a multi-player game, especially if you hurt someone else in the proccess, you ruin it for everybody. Also you should know that the article addressed MMORPG's. MMO's aren't run on private servers, so you dont own even a liscense the part of the game that has to be modified for you to cheat.
I have always been bothered by cheaters and jerks and such. Mostly my real world friends and I just play alone. Beats dealing with the general gaming pupulace.
I'm glad that mobile computers are begining to catch up to destops in the video card area, that has always been my major complaint with them. Maybe I'll reconsider my laptop puchase now.
Everyone who has touched a computer has a problem with Windows.
what I do whenever I have a problem that I can't fix in less thgan twenty minutes is re-install. That usually clears it right up, nut you still have that nasty Windows problem. But now it IS Microsofts fault.
Wow wont it be great when everything is controlled by microsoft?
Just think: Microsoft TV can hype Microsoft OS that is bundled with Microsoft Internet that wont let you see all that nasty "free" and "good" stuff available.
and noone will have to worry about incompatibilities! it's all microsoft, you know how well their stuff plays with their stuff
Not that I have a cell phone, a PDA, an MP3 player, a laptop, or anything else portable. Except for my really spiffy digital watch. But this thing is amazing!
Now all i need is one that costs less than twenty bucks.
this may seem slightly offtopic, but: What could you POSSIBLY have against homosexuals. They're just people who are attracted to their gender, not the opposite gender.
Ahh, that's the Capatalist way, wait for something to get big then claim you own it.
That reminds me, I have to tell everyone that I was the first person to think of Napster, but left just before things started going bad.
Instead of not buying them, or merely returning them:
Buy them, get around the copy protection, burn yourself a copy, and one for all you 3rd cousin's friend's uncles, then return it to the store claiming that it didn't work with your cd player/computer/ps2/.......
this may be illeagal, but, it will show record companies who's boss

thats Athlon, gripe gripe gripe gripe
i would just like to point out that Apple has been using 128 bit processors long before the PC world caught up

Actually, I think it did say something about a single stationary camera. Maybe I'm wrong though. Thanks for helping me clear this up.

Ok, maybe slashdot shoulf offer to lend people bandwidth if they link them. Seems like it only takes moments for a small page to go down.

Blizzard does it, that's why b.net for d2 is soooo laggy sometimes. in War3 they will be doing other cool stuff too

Futerama would be good if it had better characters, better animation, better plots, better jokes, better acting, and better flow.
But then again....... so would Pokémon.

Since it is their contest, they can accept any kind of entries they want.
Maybe they don't want people to use their characters, and that's their every right.

well, it has some very good technology, but its hideous!
a very very very good idea though, glad someone did it
