You when will you literalists ever learn? God only used an integer because support for floating point operations was severely limited in the CPUs of the time.
I wonder if part of the reason Bill is stepping down is because he's seeing the company starting to sink and he'd rather be remembered as the guy they couldn't do without.
Can we please cut the ethical implication posts and have some how-to guides and risk/benefit lists? I'm afraid I don't have any experience in the field myself. I have been wondering lately whether recreational use of nicotine patches would work.
I'm confused by people who thought the part where they drop you into the fire and you're like 'NO WAY' is the end of the game. I mean, you spend the whole game learning to think a little bit differently about spacial orientation, how can you accept just being dropped into the fire without a fight?
People come to wikipedia because of the favorable signal to noise ratio which they attain with their editing guidlines. Sure, some guy can post his blog on wikipedia, but he can just post it on some blog site, having it searchable by Google, which is pretty much what you describe only without the wikipedia name attached to it.
Seems like someone is trying hard to overcompensate some inadequacy... "Why yes, I DO operate the Ginormousely Absurd You-Can't-Believe-How-Fucking-Huge-It-Is Oversized-By-Any-Reasonable-Standard-Of-Measurement-And-By-Most-Unreasonable-Ones-As-Well Motherfucking Large Telescope"
I did some powerpoint stuff when I was in the army, back when I thought building templates with punched out ellipses and a glass effect was good design. I did stuff like having tanks with the quarterly figures on their banners, passing to the sound of Conquest of Paradise, all those cheesy wipes, all to the requests of my commander who took this stuff real serious, he even had me mirror the progress of the presentation on a second computer in case something happend to the first while presenting it.
I was released for mental health reasons something like three months after I started doing those though, and I hear other people in that position haven't lasted very long either.
Powerpoint is such an annoying program to work with, and such a useless one when presenting it. I wish someone would do a study to show what a waste of resources it is so that everyone can move on and lead a happier life without it.
You're thinking too small, with brain to computer connection you can go to brain to computer to brain, people in society are already specialized for specific work the way our cells are, humanity can become one huge organism!
Sounds like what they're doing at Peekaboom and The ESP Game, harnessing humans to solve problems that are difficult for computers. Here's an nice video on the subject.
Damn, I'm such a nerd it took me about a minute before I realized NBA is not some competing agency for which I was trying to figure out what the N and B stood for.
It might be less trivial than EVE but I think making a rough sketch of continents and such and then letting the details be algorithmically generated shouldn't be that complicated. They can always tweak the stuff for specific places later.
What I would like to see is a more dynamic world. I haven't really played any MMOs since Dark Age of Camelot so I'm not sure what the state of NPCs are nowadays, but I think it would be interesting to see monsters migrate across the game world, players and NPCs building new cities.
I bet they just fried their server's CPU and they don't have any spares so they must go on a long journey to find a new one, saving the world in the process.
Slashdot Mirror
The screenshots I saw of Lincity used horrible pre-rendered 3D.
Am I missing something?
You're a clever one but I'm afraid your sig blew your meticulously constructed cover.

Don't you mean a Breeder Reactor?

For some reason my brain read that as Roomba Ascendant.
So the solution to the traveling salesman problem is a Beowulf Cluster of truck drivers?

On a related note, in Hebrew, the pronunciation of Zune is pretty close to the word for Fuck.
Earth first,
we'll stripmine the other planets later!

Or the teabagging that comes after.
Is this a purchase though?
Takes balls, making a porn joke on a child molestation thread.
I salute you sir.

Or maybe I've just read too much Sci-Fi.
Don't get me started on the DVD rewinder...

Adam is the canvas, and Plasmids are the paint.

I live in Israel, people in this area do it for a much lower salary and much higher chances of successful detonation.
