which was an ad. New kind of annoyance? Maybe Slashdot may want to remove such ads?
Yes, but in addition to mimicking aspects of reality for people to explore ideas and concepts (and perhaps apply them to their own life if they deem it beneficial, and other purposes as well. MMORPGs can be used as research for future living standards)...I don't know what I was going to say
Uh, 10hrs/month for $1/hr = $10/month. Also, why charge more per month for hardcore players? If anything, charge per hour for everyone, but monthly is just fine as is. With the free month to try, you can determine if you like the game or not. Also, based on monthly fees, you don't have to worry about hourly fees racking up if you decide to play for too long.
Yes, but what about end of the word catastrophe possibilities? What about the possible asteroid that is to impact the planet in approximately twelve years? Are we just going to screw over space exploration and technological advances and risk the end of humanity?
Although they aren't manufactured anymore, I stocked up on plenty of Eveready (the yellow ones) batteries and have several Eveready rechargers. I've had the batteries for nearly 5 years now and not one of them has died. I believe Energizer bought them out, but I'm not sure.
If the RIAA wins, wouldn't it cause the downfall of the Internet? Well, I mean, if the RIAA goes after everyone who downloads their music (rather than buying it, or even along with buying it-download to find new and interesting music, then buy), what will they do to them? Have them jailed for their actions? Okay, so the USA becomes a jail country, where 50%+ of its population is held hostage by the RIAA.
Obtaining of media will never be the same! It's been brought up many times in the past; to have video on demand. Well get on with the implementations already. Perhaps do such with audio as well, although this will probably have to be free since it can be obtained freely anyway. Perhaps, in regards to audio, add some quirks and then charge for them. In my opinion, 75%+ of the population of the U.S. ages 12-30 download their music instead of buying. Although, there probably are some accurate statistics already (anyone know where) which would be interesting to see. We need to stop trying to censor our technological advances, but rather develop upon them while allowing them to flourish.
Yes, but, what if your email address is firstname@lastname.com or something similar that's identifiable to you?
I have received lots of spam on my primary email account since about 1997. I used to just filter the majority of it with my mail client's filters, but, it was just too burdensome ever since I began receiving spam from spoofed email addresses. I eventually had to resort to dropping my personal email address (which I paid for and had an alotted amount of storage space and bandwidth) at my own domain and obtaining a new email address.
It's not much work, of course, but, it's something we would be best without. Why shall we be forced to have new email addresses? Similarly, why should we be forced to have new phone numbers? We're paying for these services, yet, in regards to email, we accept the abuse?
Currently my workaround solution is to have separate email accounts for different uses. I use one for spam (signing up for any services/registering for anything), one for friends and family (and now school), and a few others for my other personalities. I NEVER post my personal email address, nor do I EVER use it when posting information on the Internet or with any programs (during installation or configuration). I also include a disclaimer to my emails as part of my signature warning others to not distribute my email address and/or email message and to not include me when sending spam/chain mail.
I have once had a completely spam free email address until one day a friend of mine sent me some humorous chain mail. It was very funny, but, it was sent to about 20 of his friends or so. Who knows where it went from there, but, after a few weeks in came the spam.
Will it even survive 500 years? Within 200-300 years the planet will be waterless (we'll have it all consumed) unless we come up with a solution or quit doubling in pouplation every few decades.
What's the point of domain names? Why not refer to a server's IP address rather than a domain name? It's really a waste of MONEY. If you're trying to search for anything, rather than typing www.company.com and guessing if that's the actual company's domain, just go to a search engine (Google is great) and type the company's name and it'll provide links to the site as well as other related pages.
With Google around, there's really no need for any naming structures.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is the non-profit corporation that was formed to assume responsibility for the IP address space allocation, protocol parameter assignment, domain name system management, and root server system management functions previously performed under U.S. Government contract by IANA and other entities.
So who is going to handle that then? The government?
I've been researching trying to find a solution to resolve the page-width adjusting problem occuring with some threads such as this one. So far, the posts causing the problem contain several &#x(numbers) that produce one long "word" even though there are spaces within the post. I'm not sure, but, it seems as if there's many hex codes that can cause this.
So far the following preceeded with an ampersand (&) cause the problem:
#x003
#x2022
I hope these are filtered out in the future. Any time I see the problem, though, I will post this same message (updated though with any new causes) in hopes that someone fixes the problem. It's f***ing annoying!
Not necessarily does the faster computer win.
It depends on the A.I. algorithm.
Take for example computer A playing computer B. Computer A is faster than Computer B.
In 2 seconds computer A compiles 4 good moves.
In 2 seconds computer B compiles 3 good moves.
If the 4th good move is used rather than the ones that computer B also generated, and it outcomes to make computer A lose, does that mean computer B is faster?

I don't think we'll see a hd large enough in our lifetime. Also, as time progresses, our technology will be enhanced in all fields. Movies will be of higher quality, and thus, probably consume more storage space. Same applies with audio. Test documents and formatting should maintain fairly small. Books can consist of formatted text, pictures, and maybe even audio. Same applies with newspapers and magazines. Although, I'm not too sure about audio, but, perhaps in the future we'll turn the page of a magazine and hear another one of those annoying AOL ads.
Depending on compression and resolution, as well as quality, there'll never be a hard drive large enough. I don't think anyway. There's far too much media that's ever existed and the total amount of media will always increase.
With today's standards and typical resolutions, compressions and qualities I'd assume maybe an exabyte would suffice.
1 exabyte = 1024 petabytes. 1 petabyte = 1024 terabytes

One reason not to buy a character may be due to the reputation of the character being of poor quality.

Why not just set both computers to count in integers from 1 upgwards and see which reaches googol first.
