Have you seen air joystick or a dataglove? Maybe not perfect but some of the tech is there. Without a 3D environment to test it in, guess how much development on a 3D UI there will be.
If you read section 17 of the FTA, it saya both parties/nations/whatever they call themselves, have to have legislation that does this.
So any attempt by/.ers, FSF, EFF etc to get the DMCA repealed will fail if the FTA gets up as the US gov will state but we have to abide by the FTA with Oz, and have legislation that enforces such restrictions.

One idea I have seen toyed with is to the universe itself as a random number generator. I may have picked the idea up somewhere on the 'net a long time ago.
Specifically the microwave background radiation.
Point microwave receiver at the (night?) sky, record appropriately. You need to make each channel wide enough to get the appropriate number of bits per second, and enough channels to get enough bits. If you want a huge number of bits at a large bitrate you may run out of resource.
You need to check against local source contamination.
Secure against intentional and design flaw.
Note the anistropy in the background microwave radiation will not affect this as you have to take in all the sky, not just a small patch to pick this up.
"First, any language properly so-called has referents in reality."
What about the interpretation of reality that is lost when the social context the language "lives" in is lost?
"Second, the characteristics of human language which affect computer languages are - what?" Assembler and Ada have very different paradigms. Are you telling me that the worldviews of people whose view of time, spacve and philosophy have no potential to contribute a different paradigm?
"...any complete computer language can do anything any other language can do, as long as the ability to access given hardware is the same." Wrong. Want to bet that their exist (older) versions of Fortran that do not allow recursive functions? Want to bet some people could design a functionally crippled language? So there are no non-Turing machine complete languages?
"Whether an addition operation is called "Addition", "Summa", "Plus", or "+" is irrelevant really, other than conciseness of syntax (leading to "+" as ideal here.)" See above - it not just about words - try concepts. What about a programming language where addition gives zero, one, "twenty or so" and many as all the only possible answers? What different concepts would you be forced to deal with to do something then. Just because you can count "everything" doesn't mean you should.

well at least I haven't been able to pick up, was how long between the code being swiped and appearing on the 'net.
It's older code w2000 SP1(?) or some such - so maybe it has done some underground rounds already before someone got careless, or wanted to get the script kiddies to download it to cover themselves.

does European Air War work though?

This would be funny if it wan't true
Most brilliant find Sir (Ms/s?)
Thank you
I tried all the DVD stores in Brisbane Australia. No Firefly released or planned to be released in Australia.
Firefly not released in Australia (Region 4). Store guy recommened downloading it off the intenet.
Anyone seen Region 4 DVD of the series available.
BTW; it has also not been shown on TV here either.
Could you please flick this to someone who can answer it - does European Air War work under the new release?
To the best of my knowledge there is no widely played Air War game for linux and EAW is widely played and cheaply available.
If so please have them email me or reply to this.
Many thanks.
Last time I looked European Air War still not supported which is sad for me.
Current:
Rating:0 out of 5 [ Does not install and does not work. ]
I believe it is a directx problem - has anyone heard any word of a change in this?
Try the waybackmachine.
/. search isn't real good.
Alternatively use google advanced search. As granparent said -
I have used my as per /. info yahoo account for years. Before I even had an isp.
So far yahoo has outlasted 2 (3?)isps, 3 jobs, 2 changes in state of residence and I don't keep anything important there
find Sunbird
The only game I really play on my home machine is European Air War. Transgaming have lsited it as soemthing like - crashes at start or won't start.
Anyone ever had any luck otherwise?
Bochs: I think EAW on Win98 on Bocs on a PII 400Mhz just won't work
Or are they just hoping all of IBM's lawyers are tied up with SCO?
Isn't that why IBM is an international company - because they can't fit all their lawyers in the USA?
Reaches for tinfoil - why wan't Microsoft listed? Are there no use jpeg' used in Windows?
seventeenorbust.com - you can discover the a truly huge prime number if you are really lucky
Plus, the Wildcards were just badass!
What's this were shit?
Last I saw they were still on active duty.
Did the 5/8 ever give up? Die maybe yes. Give up no. There is still hoep for a return.
I wonder how I ever get anything done with firefox or google..

You may want to check the source or have someone you trust do so

I would really like to hear that you have.
Great resource.
Was pretty sure it wasn't a new idea, but had no idea where I saw it.
Not sure I am keen on buying the software for it though.
"A simple FM radio, tuned away from a station, would generate suitable data"
What about a TV Tuner card in your PC?
Or
Plug out from FM radio into soundcard mic jack.
Mmmmm, software radio extension module?

it is getting close apparently.
There is an happy gui interface to an ODBC object, but it is not displayed as it is not fully supported yet.
