where I can go to a hospital, have my life-threatening ailment reduced to a few numbers and receive "personalized" treatment by plugging them into a cold, unfeeling math equation.
While the story uses a poor choice of language, the ability to cut-down arbitrary treatment plans would be a step in the right direction. More surgical strikes instead of carpet-bombing.
You can also use Honda's online Owner Link to store your radio code, unless you're afraid someone will hack your account and then steal your stereo. There's a special field for it and everything.
There's testing that's involved, and there's also licensing involved. There's a lot of elements involved. When there's music involved, that brings up a lot of licensing issues... You have to consider the Leaderboard. People like to say it's the same [as on the PS2], but the licensing is not the same. You have to re-license it.
It still makes no sense that the full song list for the original GH costs $97+ by extrapolation while GH2 including the controller, packaging, media and more songs (that required the same testing, licensing and development work) costs $90. How can they possibly rationalize this?
What Microsoft should have done, instead of investing significant amounts of its own resources into the security patch, was tether a huge, yellow exclamation point over the Redmond campus. Wayward WoW players would be inexorably drawn to it where they would find a Non-payroll Personnel Coordinator (NPC) who would relate to them the details of the bug and why it needs to be fixed. Harvesting the collective zeal of the WoW community in such a fashion, the solution to the issue would have been presented to Microsoft promptly and at little expense. Patch notes could even be copied and pasted directly from the resulting Wowwiki page.
Incidentally, I plan to use a similar process to reduce the amount of manual labor around the home.
I wonder how comfortable IBM would be feeling if they saw AMD start to offer the same kinds of partitioning elements in their CPUs and architectures?
Probably pretty comfortable. Guess which two companies have a good history of strategic partnerships as well as technology and manufacturing agreements.
On many games I will agree that the rumble feature is a tacked-on gimmick. Usually, it is a used to physically "punish" the player for receiving damage. However, one well-reviewed game that used rumble effectively as an integral gameplay feature was Rockstar's Table Tennis. There are no visual or audio cues to tell when you are aiming your shot out of bounds. It is done completely with the intensity of the rumble in the gamepad. This is an extremely intuitive use of the rumble feature that allows a minimal UI, reduces screen clutter and eliminates audio cues that don't belong in a simulation game. Certainly this is one game that cannot be ported to the PS3 directly without sacrificing an excellent design decision or requiring a third party controller with cludged-together rumble support.
After putting thought into it, doesn't it seem strange that many of us want a feature that is usually used to simulate pain? At least some developers have given some thought to using rumble in new ways.
TFA says that the title will be exclusive on GameTap for an unknown length of time. Looking quickly at Telltale's site shows that the game will be downloadable from the developer's site starting November 1st.
there are some things whose design has absolutely been optimized to a point where it would take a revolution in technology to make any changes worth while
What? You don't know how to use the three seashells?
They may not do it the same way with people, but have you ever seen the needles they use to implant the RFID capsules into animals? I worked at a company that was doing engineering work for a cat food company that tested flavors of food on cats implanted with ID chips. Our company had received samples of the RFID tags to use for testing and they came packaged in individual syringes. These things were gigantic! Think of the ice core drills they use in the arctic or that giant auger they used to dig the Chunnel. Okay, maybe that's hyperbole. Basically, it's an over-sized novelty needle that can fit the 1/8" diameter tag inside while taking a personal core sample in the process. I don't know about you, but I'd rather not be trepanned for a dubious gain of convenience.

Legal experts agree that the film clip could spend as little as four months in prison after appeals and good behavior.
Perhaps it is based on the table-top RPG?

Take them down from the inside and then jet off to the Cayman Islands.
Your comment is pretty funny. In fact, I wish I had come up with it first. Oh wait, I did.

Therefore, I submit that I need a Ferrari to find out. And a Romanian gymnast to explore my previous hypothesis.

Indeed, this is the same John DiMaggio who voices Bender. I didn't know that until I saw his name in the story summary.
pain or death?
I'll have the chicken.

John Romero is a guy who refers to John Romero in the third person.
