The Big Daddys are fun to fight if you use your imagination! I used to have a Big Daddy fight night. I'd call one and start a fight with the other then sit back and enjoy the show, while getting a few kicks in here and there. Those who think the game is limited are limited by their own ideas of how to play the game!
Counterstrike. This really is a great way to learn team coordination skills. One group I knew were big into researching real-world tactics and applying them in game. It was funny as sometimes they would dance like bees as their teamspeak server was down, got to do some'n to replace hand gestures.
Seems like everybody in power these days is paranoid???
Evolution is something that works within the confines of the Laws of Physics. Without the laws of physics evolution would be impossible. The universe is governed by these immutable laws; therefore evolution is a property of this Universe. So what makes the Laws of Physics work exactly like they do??? So far we don't have answer to that one.
What about "Randomness", how can you have randomness within a mathematical universe? Do decimal rounding errors introduce randomness or is the universe a perfect computable system? All that would be required is the Laplace Machine to see that nothing is random and freewill doesn't exists, we just appear to have a choices because we can see the alternatives, but never-the-less always choose the same option. Schopenhauer says something similar in a thought experiment. If you go into a restaurant and look at the menu you're free to choose anything you want, so long as you can afford it. Then there's certain dishes I don't like, will I choose to eat one of those? What about the wife who'll kill me if she finds out I've eaten stake, as I have a heart condition. Before long freewill looks like more like coerce will. We still can't disprove that this isn't a predetermined universe.
So evolution doesn't disproved God, only that Genesis isn't a literal telling of creation. If you ask me they should rewrite part of Genesis and sick in a nice lump of the Selfish Gene give it a generator or two and nobody will know that it wasn't there all-a-long... Sure all they need to do if find some more of those Dead Sea thingies.
All you need to do to make the PSP2 a hit is make it both a Cell Phone + VoIP! GPS would be nice... plus WiFi IMS, also 8GB of storage by default with option for additional mem-cards. Don't think they would remove the UMD, but I wouldn't mind if they got rid of it, as it kills the battery.
People seen to overlook it's the basic principles of physics that allows all chemical interaction. These Laws have a prior interaction, with the outcome known in advance assuming we understand the Law being applied. So to say things 'emerge' is perfectly valid as randomness is being sieved through the rules of physic; like flower when cooking.
Evolution & Emergence work off the same process. But some like to think there's a controlling factor in Emergence, meaning ideas like Intelligent Design. The only controlling factor is the Laws of Physic.
So do these Laws work randomly? or constantly? Meaning if we fully understood Physical at all level: Marco, micro, Quantum, etc. Could we predict the actual "mutations" in the process of Evolution; because if we can it would be more accurate to call it Emergence as the Laws predestine all interaction.
Column oriented sounds to me a lot like an index with a single field. Even if you place all columns into a single block other columns could still be required when displaying the record, if you have multiple columns like this it could mean a lot of blocks being read once you actually know the direct block locations of your data. So do you combine row + column style, then using some DDL highlighting which columns to store independent of the rest of that row.
The Selfish Gene
Once you get the ideas in this book then you can make code some really interesting programs, if you're willing to use your imagination.
The Extended Phenotype
Another book that has some cool ideas about how other object's properties can affect us. Like certain combinations of flashing lights can cause seizures in some people, the light through their eyes gets into their brain causing it to malfunction. 'Snow Crash' is based off some of the ideas in here. SC is a great book also.
The Selfish Meme
How ideas work. Again this is building on the ideas in the last two books
The History of Western Philosophy
Bertrand Russell, we're not worthy! By no means a perfect history of western philosophy and some ideas are not given fair and unprejudiced threatened. But there is a wealth of ideas contained in a single place. It's a good place to start and then read more on individual topics of interest... like Schopenhauer
The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason
Lets stop all the crazy wars. A look at Man's inhumanity to man, done in the name God. A great gift idea for all those you love that are religious.
So is this the form of Democracy the US wants to give to the world? All I can say is, I feel sorry for you guys. If you try to stick it to the Man you're a terrorist. Bummer!
I can't see how this will be worth the money, the PPU was a joke. While this has it merrets Quad Core CPUs are just around the core'ner. At that point you have 1 core for game logic, 3 shared between gfx & AI. That's a whole lot of CPU cycles!
Seriously, people buy anti-virus because they fear viruses, who tells them what viruses to fear??? How strange that those anti-virus companies are all doom and gloom.
Battary life is now counted in minutes on these things not days or weeks! They cost stupid money and it makes more sence based on battery life + cost to buy a cheap laptop as you get way more bang for your book.
You want one to cost no more then $200 with 4GB storage, screen large enough to play movies, last 3 days without recharge i.e. a weekend away. Small, light, sturidy. has USB to other devices not just to a PC. WiFi + Cell Phone + Skype Phone. Easy to develop for, (i.e. free SDK) Palm Pilots were the bomb to code. And that means you could get a small games device, but nothing to powerful, maybe SNES standard (sprite based, i.e. not 3D).
I'd buy one of them, heck that's what Sony should do with the PSP2 it would be great as it's about the right size for all of the above (although you would want 3d GFX in that case) + the fact it was a phone would be liker killer, then with the WiFi Video confrencing for kids... it would be nutz
Yeap, spot on! Most people who know what they're doing will save a lot of cash by investing time into researching their gear! Yeah you can drop $5,000 on Dalienware, believing if you pay a lot it must be good! Talk about stupid. 3,000 will buy you an uberkick ass system that will spank Delianware's a$$.
At the heart of Superman is the question of morality and leadership! That's why Lex is he's arch enemy. He also has what Superman has; influence & leadership to shape the world, but it will just be a dark and morally corrupted world. Not to put it too bluntly; Superman is just Jesus with the occasional fist fight. As societies morality becomes more blurred characters like Superman loss there mainstream appeal. It's the "dark hero's" which in a former time might even have been the villain that are popular. People want violent vengeance, not valiant super heroes that are all about peace and justice.
Now but superman in a time when there's morality ambiguity and see how he comes to deal with a world that "doesn't want to be a great people". Then you could address superman's dark side, how does he choose to solve the problems presented? Is it violent or peace without force?
Is it just me or do other people think this is just part of the on going line of propaganda to undermine current technology and make people more open to the idea of Trusted Computing, formally know as Palladium??? I know the current software isn't perfect but you'll never have a completely safe system, so longer as the user operating it has system administrator privileges. Trusted computing or the solution to the above problem is to implement security access that even the owner of the system is deemed untrustworthy.
100 Gigabit in experimental phase and 10 Gigabit available if you have the cash, LANs are starting to get the kind of throughput too start having the Motherboard IO system become the bottleneck.
It's only the Internet that's holding back Disbursed Interconnected Grids (DIGs). But that's why there's an Internet2 to focus on greater bandwidth and reduce latency times. With such large data sets the other side to the coin is data compression or the ability to transform it into something more manageable while the bandwidth issue persists. But I agree bandwidth is still the most expensive item in the equation now-a-days.

they do all the development and then somebody else releases a dust buster.

Just as well I'm not interested in buying... I look forward to the demise of the once great PayStations!
I have to say I think this is a really good idea for Developers. To help reduce cost, it's only a question of how cross-platform it really will be.

That's what I keep telling the kids, shut the window your letting the heat out.
