You don't understand. First of all when you request foo.txt it will request the latest one. Second the;2 on the is handled by the OS. So when you request foo.txt you will get the latest. If you made a big mistake somewhere want to go back serveral save points you can then open foo.txt;2. It's very intuitive.
I can see this as being a good thing. For one I don't think this will lead to some kind of tourist attraction adding a bunch of vehicles and pollution. This is Antarctica we're talking about, nothing to see. The south pole is home to my interesting scientific experiments, whether it be astronomy related since the view into space from there I would imagine to be much clearer of radio signals and terrestrial light. They mentioned studying neutrinos and what little I know of this area, terrestrial radio noise plays a factor.
It's not like they are going to be building a 6 lane highway. Probably won't be much than a gravel back road.
I'm with you there. I am very limited to the type of music I like. Rock, Progressive Metal, 80's Metal (not glam rock). That doesn't mean I don't listen to other types of music or refuse any other type. I have a wide range of appreciation, I will give anything a chance... just can't stand to hear the samething over and over again. Metal typically presses the right buttons for me.
Same thing with books. A big Sci-Fi fan, but I've read plenty of other books through school or recomendation. I like most of the other genres, but Sci-Fi books are the ones that keep my thinking about it weeks, some years after reading, they just strike me.
Even though it's such a bad movie. I love the scene where he is eating the guy's brain and feeding it to him. Just hope the computer won't decide to get some sort of sick pleasure and start feeding your brain to you.
Maxtor, generally seems to be good. But I have a 27GB 5400 RPM maxtor that I got I think in '99 or '00. Until recently it's been fine, but twice now it's crapped out on me. First time I had WinXP on it *ducks*. The Windows dir was wiped, I then installed Win2k *ducks* on a different drive and ran chkdsk cleaning it mostly up but the windows dir never recovered. I then started using it to store downloaded files and it pooped out on my again. chkdsk cleared it up mostly with a few files lost. So it could be nearing it's end or NTFS suckieness showed itself.
When Real first came around I remember it being revolutionary. Being able to listen to streaming sound on a 56k modem. Even with video it was possible. Although, you couldn't actually see anything. Seems like they never improved anything sense then, their player just got worse.
You are right. I wish they could manage advertising. Do it just like real world advertising. Budwieser signs in bars, billbaords outside, etc. These 3D worlds, no matter how fun, are still just novelty. I can do with out. Hell, I don't have cable tv just to save money. In most homes cable tv it standard.

I think the point of this one is a virtual utopia. Not mimick the real world in every way, just mimic some good points. Everybody here is saying you people need to get out more. I get out freqeuently but there are days every so often I want to be alone and play computer games in my my boxers, smoke some pot and drink a few beers. This is just another means. So what, no harm done. Yes if some one were to have this replace Real Life, then there is a problem. If you don't like it and only want to play FPS's fine, but every body's idea of fun is different.
I had always evnisioned for a 3d desktop. Sort of a room where on the walls you could have windows open. The closer you got the clearer they got. If the control was like a FPS, since I am very comfortable with them I would find it fun, maybe practical.
3Dtop for Windows tried this but, it was useless because your desktop was 3D, but when you opened a window it would just show a normal on top of it.
There is 3Dwm for X11, I would like to try though. I have no idea what that is like.
I always thought that a good way to do this is use an existing 3D engine instead of the difficulty of writing one. Say use the Quake3 engine and make a mod to interface with your desktop.
I see uses to keep in touch with friends. Many of us can't get together often mostly because of distance. IRC and IM just got old, this could bring the fun back.
I was in it quite a while ago as well even built my own house. When it went to pay, I lost intrest. But I have been searching for a good 3d world eviroment ever sense. I can't wait to try this one out.
Excuse my late repsonse, missed your reply... No actually it's a name I started using for online gaming Counter-Strike, etc. Actually I wanted something eviland bad like Satan, but of course that's a bit blatant. So I looked up Satan in a thesaurus and Moloch was appealing to me.

Agh, I forgot about cheese... definately can't go without that as well. I've been eyeing soy products for quite some time. Have you actually tried the soy cheese? So the milk is noticeably different I suppose, if you must eat it with a sugary cereal. Does it actually taste bad or just different?

Although I agree with vegetarians views for the most part. I wish animals would be treated better before their slaughter at least. I don't eat veal and cut down my milk intake. Mostly for cookies and cereal, which is not often.
I can't and will never give up steak and sushi. If lab steak and sushi can be created that tastes the same or better then fine. Burgers, well I could do without, it ties me over in between expensive steak and sushi eatings.
I good friend of mine can really lack common sense at times. I sometimes try to look out for him as people tend to take advantage of him. When you meet his mom it all comes together. His dad is one of those "macho man of the house" types. So sometimes the parents were raised not knowing better and it's just an endless cycle.
I sure hope he isn't the one writing the comments about some of those girls. I hate it when one says "good looking blond" and I look and it's some monster beast with blonde hair.

Of course there is a chance of disaster, but if I saw an incoming plane with landing gear up its intentions would be much more clear.
And no incoming planes with landing gear up should be allowed either.
