Well check out here for all the different hardware Kyle has said they have tested it out on and they are currently in the process of writing it all up.
Heh, yeah humans end up being between 10% to 30% efficient normally if I remember correctly.
Checking some classnotes there is approx 686 kcal/mol in glucose which gets converted to 219 kcal/mol of potential energy in ATP. Which means only 32% efficiency for converting glucose to the energy form used by about every cell operation inside a cell.
Now there is also inefficiency in getting glucose to those cells (and not all of it of course gets to them). Plus ATP isn't completely itself efficiently used so 10% is prolly around the correct figure for the amount of energy used of digested food.
Heh yeah it was definately open but the same could be said for Morrowind as well or several other games I can't think of the names of.
Its plotline was kinda different from the norm (well besides you have to go save the world type thing).
Curious what you found different in Arcanum? I've played it and enjoyed and agree with the openess. But, the game itself was fairly similar per say to most RPG's else than it had guns thrown into the mixture.
The automap though I thought was fine. Now I thought it was funny how store owners didn't mind if you step into their bedroom with them and then stay there overnight and after they leave it so you can steal everything in their store chest.
Agreed on that storyline, Morrowind main plot was like what were they thinking. Lucky for them they had some of the best side missions I've ever played and tons of them at that.
Heh I like the jump scrolls that let you jump across the map in a single leap:-P So nice of them to give you like 5 of them or whatever at the very beginning.
Thats not completely true. Not in every field in science do you have to become a post-doc. Example in BioMedical Engineering it's not unusual to go straight from a PhD to faculty or with a very short time in a post doc. Now in Biology it isn't uncommon having to be a post-doc for 10 years or more before even having the possibility of a position as faculty.
Heh and your link seems to suggest 8,000 died not 16,000. Not that it wasn't a horrible tragedy just making note your source disagrees with what you quoted.
Actually the titanium they were selling us they did think was worthless. Basically they didn't know how to take it and make it in to the higher grade titanium because why bother when you have plenty of high grade titanium that is easier to use. And a lot of the titanium that we bought from russia we couldn't use either. It discusses this in the book Skunk Works all that. I might be a little fuzzy on the details but there were issues with the titanium that the russians sold off:-p
I myself am confused how a "statistical analysis of LexisNexis" show they are unbiased. Sounds to me like they are just profiling LexisNexis:-P
Anyways StratFor looks pretty good and unbiased. I seem to think the reason FAIR doesn't want to seem unbiased is because they aren't looking for an audience that really wants an unbiased view.
Hmmm I wish I had mod points and hadn't posted already. This both off topic, trolling and completely pointless (well unless you are trying to convince those who see FAIR as having a biased that they are completely correct). Resorting to name calling is never very useful in an argument (well unless this is politics then mud slinging seems to help).
Hmmm nothing against them really but just quick glance definately makes them look extremely leftist. If you want to be fair and unpartial on judging the biases, you can't have a huge bias yourself and constantly attacking it looks like anything that disagrees with your own biases. I would consider their articles worth about jack.
And you know what they say about statstics. With the right pickings you can make them look like whatever you want them to (or do they actually have some completely random and automated process to gather the data or is it some guy going hey this article seems biased lets throw it in).
To me it seems a group made to try to get an audience who wants to swear that the entire media is conservative based and have "evidence" to show there is no liberal bias in the majority of the media. Seems as exciting as the people who listen to Rush Limbaugh, Michael Moore, or tons of other crazy right and left nuts:-P
If you really want to make up your mind on the bias of the media, then you don't need to be trying to use a source that has a very evident bias in themselves and who seek to profit by this bias.
Where the hell do you work in the scientific field, where you don't keep lab notebooks and the such. Or records of hey we tried these drugs and this is what happened. And I would figure the FDA requires lots of paper work.
I guess maybe just those of us in academia are different and the private sector says screw writing this stuff down.
Much too complex for the average slashdotter who doesn't read the articles to be figure out if they are actually overstepping or not. Better keep with the certain days (unfortunately I don't have my Slashdotters Handbook on me detailing what days we bash the FCC and what days we cherish them)

hmmm Windows Update has been around for a while as long as IE4 I believe. And IE4 came out long time ago (Win98 if I'm remembering correctly).
Ummm except thats a third person POV. Really almost all tactical based combat games have used third person POV's...

Hmmm just curious, could you give your opinions AC on why it will be a worse game (besides 3d is worse)?

So you want an RPG revolving around Patent Litigation and piracy busting it sounds like.
Heh, thats only $250/ft must be a good deal :-p

The amusing thing is it puts the item over my google toolbar :-P

How about Microsoft Windows :-P
I'm guessing you didn't read the article for this one or the ones for the other news post.
Now thats a damn good idea. Patent it and release it before Microsoft sees it :-P

Ahh okay I was confused by what you said. Thanks for clarifying ^_^
