    You might actually have something there...

    Put some sticky glide thingies and use a very large mousepad. Just map a key to disable the lazer while you reset the mouse so instead of picking up the mouse you just push down on a key.

  7. Re:Anti-Sanbox MMO? on Galaxies To Beat World of Warcraft? · · Score: 1

    Oh and I just found out elk tags are $120 + $50 for hunting license + $300 for the gun, whatever the ammo costs may be. Sounds like alot of money, my wife sounds more interested then me. Maybe I need to go shopping for flower seeds.

    I've heard good things about it but from the screen shots the interface seems a little klugey. You make a good point, maybe i'll try it.

  10. Re:Anti-Sanbox MMO? on Galaxies To Beat World of Warcraft? · · Score: 1

    I'm thinking maybe a PVE flag similar to wow's PVP flag. You go out there you can't attack or get attacked untill you go back to base and reset your flag. Need some other penalties otherwise it would be unfair to those who gather while wanting to fight mobs. But hey, if the animal loot was worth something, that could balance it. Need something for these girls to do while gathering though, mere looting is not nearly interactive enough for fulltime playing. Maybe a gathering action that is as intense as mob fighting with a chance to spoil your plants.

    Puzzle pirates was a great oposite end of the spectrum but a little too far to keep yourself in the world.

  11. AJAX on Relocating an Entire Software Engineering Team? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Doesn't matter what it is, just build something around AJAX.

    If there was a game where I could go out and kill stuff while my wife stayed home and grew flowers and raised animals I think we'd be on to something.

  13. Re:Hang on... on Device Stops Speeders From Inside Car · · Score: 1

    What you mean to say is speed limits dont kill people, the speeders do. Going faster then the flow of traffic pisses me the fuck off and I dont want to finish this post anymore.

    At $100 you'll be making more laptops then ever exited before.

  15. Re:Original Xbox Media Center on Run Windows MCE Applications on Xbox 360 · · Score: 1

    Sounds like you confusing the xbox media center with the media center extender that they are actually reffering to in this article.

  16. Re:Original Xbox Media Center on Run Windows MCE Applications on Xbox 360 · · Score: 1

    Seems like the exact same thing except perhaps you dont have to buy the extender software? Meda center extender for the original xbox gave you all the features they mention, you are not going to get any more features without updating media center itself.

    News for nerds who have no idea what is going on outside their dorm.

    Its actually RDP, but sure, I guess you can run VNC in the RDP session to manage your PDC while working at the STFU.

  18. Re:Finally! on Breakthrough in Biodiesel Production · · Score: 2, Informative

    45%? No thank you, i'll drive my oil like an american.

    Thus, while oil continues to account for more than 95 percent of all the energy used for transportation in the United States, oil accounts for less than 20 percent of the energy consumed for other, stationary uses, down from 30 percent in 1973.

  19. Re:Why should I be bothered by this? on Massive Ads In Matrix Online · · Score: 1

    Anarchy Online introduced this in game Ad system to pay for the free accounts. Sony did this to offset the cost of making more profit.

    As far as the cable TV system we pay for the internet, that gives us access to almost anything, comedy central, FX ext.. You pay extra for premium services like HBO which do not have any commercial interruptions. So you see how the correlation between MMO and premium cable channels fit.

  20. Re:Newspaper is killing the newspaper. on Internet is Killing the Newspaper · · Score: 1

    Its not even the articles, $.25 was a fair price for the FRY's ad and some intresting readings in the classified, but for $.75 i'll just flip to the back of the sports page while paying for gas, and put it back.

  22. Re:Alternative Revinue Sources on MMOG Fortunes Rise And Fall · · Score: 1

    Advertising is in trial mode with anarchy online. I honestly dont see it as being that great of an income except enough to cover half the costs of the free users out there, the rest is consumed as a cost of doing buisness trying to get new paying members. Unless they can really streamline the user support, its alot of work still to keep the servers up for alot of people. That is in the proccess of changing the concept of "it costs us $15 a month to maintain the machines that store your char" is slowly dying as independant companies prove they can sustain that work for a cheaper cost.

    I have no problem with a game that caters to uber players with fat wallets. I just want something for the more casual players to do. world of warcraft failed this for me, all I could do was repition work of recreating my characters because all of the end game stuff was out of reach for the amount of time I can put into it. I'm not going to pay a montly fee just to start the game over every 4 months on a server that isn't even that massive.

    Blizzard US is around 1 million I belive (maybe not active accounts) they are not capable of putting them on the same system. I have a feeling it costs them more then $.05 a day per user on hardware costs.

    Zombies are already attacking other computers to become zombies. Its the end result thats trackable, it takes an insane amount of resources to track a virus writer, but it happens.

    As nice as the idea seams your talking about taking an industy that profits from developing solutions with as few resources as possible, to an industry that profits by spending resources on research and if they ever come out with a solution will be put out of buisness.
