  1. Re:Why not lock, instead of unlock? on Just Let Me Play! · · Score: 0
    F.E.A.R. and Farcry were pretty cool in this respect: You have a maximum amount of carrying capacity and have to make decisions based on various weapon stregnths/weaknesses.

    Also, who can forget Deus Ex, with upgradeable skills and a limited "inventory." That was a great game.

    I think the idea of a fixed "carrying capacity" that forces you to make decisions (but allows you to change those decisions to a minor extent) makes gameplay that much more realistic.

  2. Re:No wonder some are nervous! on $400 Million IP Experiment Making Some Nervous · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    totally off topic, but Volvo and Audi have had 5 cylinder engines since the mid 80's. Mod me the heck down...

  3. Re:There will be a job for you on The Future of IT in America? · · Score: 1

    I got my edumation in engineering. the thing is, my school didn't differentiate between different engineering discplines until 3rd year. Brilliant, I say. It gives all of us a background in all the basic sciences 'prior' to making our choice, and even after the fact, we have enough knowledge to muddle our way through the various engineering exams (EIT, FET) in various fields. Personally, I thought the idea was brilliant. Now, if only I can squeeze my way into that R&D job...[I think I can]

  4. Re:Force Field? on Mysterious 'Forcefield' Tested on US Tanks · · Score: 1

    I would first locate the sensors on the armored vehicle and take them out with small arms fire. The system can't possibly respond to small arms threats, thats what physical armor is for. Once the sensors in a given arc were taken out, it would be short order to take out the vehicle. Solution to this dilema? Harden the sensors (given that they wern't armored in the first place.) Would this be hard to do with the "flat panel radar" and others from TFA?

    I'd call it a Phalanx for Tanxs...

  6. Re:I wrote about this a while back... on Missing Link Fossil Discovered · · Score: 1

    I was just outside and looking at the birds realized, "maybe there is hope for us..." Not really, but it does fit into what you are saying, a God with style. I mean, imagine a god whose system allows dinosaurs to take to the air...
