James Randi has already dismissed many scientifically unexplainable feats. I saw him first in a horizon documentary where horizon tried to prove that homeopathy works, which would have showed that water has a memory of past diluted molecules. They used double blinded tests with statistics to prevent any mistakes and it failed.
If anyone can prove something not possible scientifically they get the $1 million jackpot.
sorry, can't edit previous post... the Ubisoft campus will not be located in Sherbrooke, but in Montreal, but the graduate classes will be given in Sherbrooke.
I am currently studying in Quebec city in the province of Quebec in Canada and most people have a hard time speaking or understanding english although many of our books are written in english. It is the same situation in Sherbrooke where the Ubisoft campus will be located so it is pretty sure that the courses will be in french.
When talking about precision (delicate movements) and not movement speed (jump-180 railgun). Your mouse would need to be able to slide on the desk a lot more to develop ultra high precision.
Try doing slow precise movements with a high-res optical mouse. How well it slides on the desk could be a limiting factor.
I used to like RPM for its speed, but with the new cheap casio calculators and maybe others, I don't have to close parentheses and I don't get lost in long equations. I don't know how deep new stacks are, but the HP-11C could only handle for numbers.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but here is the key counts for the two methods without rearrenging equations and counting numbers as one key:
the equation:
2 / ( 6 ^ ( sqrt( 4 * ( 5 + 8 ) ) )
in casio 14 keys:
2 / ( 6 ^ sqrt( 4 * ( 5 + 8 =
in RPM 16 if stack deep enough:
2 ent 6 ent sqrt ent 4 ent 5 ent 8 + * sqrt ^ /
It's also hard to calculate in rpn when someone is reading you the equation.
The only way the industry can avoid piracy is to give features no one can easily rip. For example, what would make someone buy a copy of RedHat: manual, support, bandwitdh... So, music should come with complete lyrics, artist pictures or poster. It should be recorded on DVDs in 5.1., have production videos, show calendar, artis bio. Now people would be a lot more likely to buy it then a mere CD.
But then DVDs writers are becoming common and it would easily be ripped and compression for 5.1 audio is becomming better. Say 2 years from now, when everyone have a DVD writer, they should get a bigger media than DVD, which no one would have a burner and include more stuff that no one can reproduce perfectly and compress it. They would have to include extra high quality DVD, 1600x1200 resolution and more...
And maybe 7 years later include virtual reality things were you can touch and interact with Brit^H^H^H^H artists and play with them.
All of these will make me buy music. Not a mere sound wave.

The masters will be offered in the Sherbrooke University in Quebec: http://www.usherbrooke.ca/

We will have to wait for some mod like this one: http://coop.doom3maps.de/
