So you don't give your Email address to your friends? I have one RealID friend in Wow and he already had my Email address from the Guild website. I have a Core Hound Pup to protect my account...
How about those nasty things called Pencils? You can stab someone with them, I know someone who fell down and stabbed themselves, I still remember the ambulance they called.
Don't you mean Wolfenstein 3D? Castle Wolfenstein is an Apple 2 by Muse Software that was later ported to the Atari, C64 and DOS. Castle Wolfenstein wasn't a 3D shooter but a side scrolling game, with a stealth element.
Judges are not stupid, unlike a lot of people who think the Courts are an extension of the Political machine. People may appoint Judges for political reasons but they should never bow to those reasons.
Emulation works great for slower system. MESS emulates a lot of old computers, SIMH http://simh.trailing-edge.com/ also does a great job with old systems, PDP-1 though PDP-15 and some other old systems. You see there resources out there so you don't need to run the Old systems, but I guess it more fun to use the old computers...
I thought it was crosstalk between the transistors that killed anything past 4GHz, silicon could do around 10GHz if we could get rid of crosstalk cheaply, or do you want to pay $10,000 for a CPU? Diamond or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphene could be used as a silicon replacement, but it wouldn't be anytime in the next decade.
Moore's Law has nothing to do with computing power, but with the NUMBER of transistors on a piece of silicon. Which he said would double every 2 years, which has be petty much true and will remain true for the next decade most likely.
No, it around 4nm is the limit, since the electrons will do whatever the hell they want too. I remember reading a electronics magazine from the early 80s that stated that 50MHz was going to be impossible because of noise. I don't think we will hit a limit for quite a while, whenever there is some sort of limit, we figure a way around it.
I think it took the introduction of VisiCalc to make people look at Apple II and computers as more than a toy. You need a Killer App for a tablet before it going to useful for most people.
I think they are trying to find out how many keep Ubuntu installed after they buy it from an OEM, instead of paying the cost for the other OS installed. If the OEM charges less for the Ubuntu installed and the end user goes out and installs the other OS, then it shows all the end users was doing was trying to get around other's cost.
I agree with you, I used to play the violin but I was never good at it. Why even use a Synthesizers, just record the score and play it back on an MP3 player, it even more portable, and will sound the same. What's next replaces the Actors with robots?
WoW could be around in 50 years, you never know, they have been around 5 years already.
Losing DOS years? I doubt it, Dosbox does a good job at running old game DOS games, it may not play them all but it play a lot of them already. You also have project like MESS where you could install DOS on a virtual machine and play the game or program. I'm more interested in games like Star Wars Galaxies and others where they won't be around in the future, and will most like never get emulated.
A 'general emulator' is called MESS (Multi Emulator Super System) http://www.mess.org/ you can play computers, consoles, and calculators, some work very well and other don't work right now. MESS supports 479 unique systems with 1,282 total system variations.
So your Phone is slower than my very old P100 which I could use with my GPS program? It updated very slow but it did work, my P2 400MHz worked just find with the GPS program.
I have a couple friends who work for Video game companies. One's programmer and other artist, the programmer is still a programmer, the artist is now a producer. I have known them to work anywhere from 40 to 80 hours a week at times.
I wouldn't push anybody into programming when they may not like it, but if you want to see if they like to program there are a bunch of very simple languages out there to try. I know another friend has started one of his kids on http://www.alice.org/.
You have to remember there are more jobs in the Video game than just programming, find out what your child is interested in and see if applies to the industry. Just one more thing here is a human interest story that happened about 6 years ago with a big company http://ea-spouse.livejournal.com/274.html

I would have to agree Atari 5200 controllers ranked right up there with Intellivision controllers, those things died all the time.
The problem I think is the people doing the research and not the research itself. People can lie about the results, which happen far to often.

They have a listing of the software the project used in the Credits at the end.

Estimated age of the universe is 13.75 ± 0.17 billion years, so we do know the age a lot closer than a couple billion years.

If you heard the Radio Play, it in there but Luke is at Ben Cabin, I believe, not some cave.

Very true, also the brain is very slow compared to a computer. A 4004 is faster than the brain, but the brain is wired differently.

I wouldn't call it a bus if it ride on Rails, it more of elevated Train.
Sounds more like the Hall of Presidents at Disney World but Chucky Cheese works too, I guess...

Tax evaders have tried that in the past and failed, by saying those augments.
Why not read about it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution/
Case law from the court doesn't back up what your saying either...
