The difference between the stadium and microscopes is that the stadium pays for itself. A quarter-million dollars is just concessions for two home games at most universities. That makes it easier to justify.
Just leave a few minutes earlier... People want to buy these 10 ton SUVs and watch DVDs and play video games in them, listen to satellite radio, drink their Starbucks and eat McDonalds. If you create a vehicle that is nearly as comfortable as your living room, why are you in such a hurry to get out of it? I drive a small Honda Civic, and people will gladly risk my life to whip across 3 lanes of traffic and make a U-turn into WalMart. Trust me, my time IS as valuable as yours, and I am not in that much of a hurry.
I worked in the game industry for a SHORT time. The team I was on pulled a 30 hour day before showing a demo to the publisher. Needless to say, much of the next week was spent cleaning up this mess. Speaking for myself and everyone I worked with, no good work gets done after the 12th hour at work.
It's true that experienced programmers could meet these deadline and ship games on time with little cruch time. Having worked in the games industry I can say that too much time is spent fixing and backing out changes to code made by kids who should be interns. Most games a hideously hacked O(n^4) algorithm.
but they'll feed you pizza or Boston Market every night. Oh yeah, you can play foosball at work too. As long as your priorities are warped enough and your standards are low enough, you can have a happy career in game development.
Won't the oversaturated visuals, and light flares all over the place make viewer's eyes explode? It looks like an art student photoshopped every frame of this film...

Do you vomit when playing FPS on a large monitor?

Let me guess: Nvidia FX cards?? Oh, that's right, you said high-end...
One timothy just wasn't enough...
I left the lights on in my car the other day and then my car wouldn't start. Could these two events be related? Did anyone else ever have this happen?
Bruce Campbell may be getting a little long in the tooth...
What it really needs is to give a bibtex entry for each paper it indexes. That would be so useful...

The reviewer is the type of idiot who thinks that $200 cable are worth it, and who watches wrestling...
I last heard it about 15 years ago. Seems the author may be quite old school.
Oh no, not another camper...
