Sad thing is, while "Operation Human Sheild" may protect us for a while, the fact that all the n00bs are so passive, makes it easier for the government, corporations etc to become stronger, and more authoritative in obliterating privacy, if crap like this isnt stopped now, it will never be, we will all be living the 1984 life, and have the additional agony of being bombarded by constant spam from all mediums, and directions.
Patenting a form of user input for a website, is about as stupid as patenting a a method to swing on playground equipment, but as we can see, they both held up at the patent office, the fact that such stupid patents as 'playground swinging methods' have been accepted by the patent office, obviously shows that the whole system needs to be overhauled
Zeesh, im so lazy, its hard enough for me to dump the doritos crumbs out of my keyboard once a week, and i normally amass a huge pile of pepsi/dew/amp/sobe dragonfruit cans/bottles on the floor next to my desk, anyone interested in being hired as a maid, for one room only?
Now everyone can have a fairly affordable 50+ inch flatscreen display, for a truely awesome gaming experience!!!
well if its dark in the room and you have enough windowless wall space anyway and enough room to put the projector and.. and.... Well on second thought, back to the drawing board
Yes, games use approzimations of actual physics to save on processing power, but the approximations are normally based on the actual accepted scientific models, so im sure carmack has done some decent physics research just in the creation of his games, and i am even more certain that he has done his homework as just a strong rocket enthusiast, not to mention starting a company, surely he has looked into the physics involved
Of course it can be done, the only thing the government has that most normal individuals dont relating to space travel is more money, if enough people donated to the cause, or a few outrageously wealthy geeks helped out, we could be launching into space and rubbing it into NASA's fase in a decade
Game programming, Espescially 3d game programming, is some of the most math intensive coding around, in fact id much rather have a game coder launching rockets, than just your average kernel hacker.
I havent used OCR in about 2 years, but the last time I tried it out, it sucked horribly, its acceptable for small documents, that arent that hard to proofreed/correct But for huge documents, like books, etc... Dont expect a huge ammount of accuracy
Slashdot Mirror
And thats all i gots to say about that.
Puting your acual face into a game (its been done/discussed before
Voice commands?
If they can tap into it in the first place, what makes you think they cant enable the access remotely just as easily...
The sick perv's will just watch you undress, etc...
Now im actually glad to have dial up
Funny, none of the currency in my posession has never said a word to me.
Patenting the use of the itnernet to sell goods is like patenting the use of a calculator to do mathematical computations

Maybe someone should build a custom enclosure with White LED's

Gives Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) a whole new meaning doesnt it.
I have enough trouble making my code compile in ONE language, 4 at the same time is a bit much
RealNames changes name to FakeNames and releases new adware software to screw with DNS entries
Linux can run on a 486, done know if it can run in 64k of ram or not
Any one ever heard of 'AOL keywords' same concept, Something like this needs to happen, but it needs to be standardized
Wonder if anyone will be able to get it to run on the upcomming Palm devices, they are supposed to use ARM procs if im not mistaken.
But it keeps an army of fans to keep my desktop cool enough to runs stabely, and it sounds like an aircraft carrier.

This must be why the 'Rocket Launcher' has always been the weapon of choice of multiplayer gamers in quake
'Invented' (for the most part, the first person shooter
Continually evolved the capabilities of realism in computer games
Created the base for so many great games to run on (Quake3)
Im sure, if there is a way to get private individuals into space cheaply, carmack will find a way.
