Children love to peel the sticker off and stick it on their forehead. I hate to think what children will be doing to their foreheads if this laser thing catches on.
There is one problem with this that seems like a showstopper to me. A road car steering wheel needs to have light enough steering centering forces to avoid tiring the driver and so that the tiniest old lady can drive it. A steering wheel provides for this by using a large range of motion to control the steering. A joystick can't provide that much range of motion, so it would have to be designed with much stronger forces to make sure it isn't overly sensitive to the lightest touch. Otherwise the driver would constantly be overcorrecting and weaving all over the road. And then like I said, if they make the steering too heavy, then the driver will become tired and the elderly and physically disabled will have difficulty driving it. A steering wheel is a logical solution for this problem because it just spins around. The range of motion consists of spinning in place so it makes good use of space inside the vehicle.
Holy shit. Holy shit. HOLY shit! How. How... How could they be so inhuman as to not realize how incredibly dorky this is??? There has to be some rational explanation. But all I can think of is supernatural explanations. ET's and conspiracy theories, and Jesus and the devil and all that.
Yes, tension does not do any work unless it moves something, so the turbine would have to be at the energy source. Or you could have the kite unwind a spool attached to a turbine on the ground, but then you would have to keep bringing down the kite and winding up the spool again. Or you could just build a 30,000 foot windmill.
I don't know why people think it's easy to corrupt mail voting. You'd still have to do something with all those ballots, and run the risk that postal or election workers would notice. Seems to me it would be a helluva lot harder than just switching some bits inside a computer.
Some people in Oregon are even afraid to use pencil, because they're afraid someone will erase their votes. I just picture some guy trying to sneak off with a box of ballots, sorting out all the ones done in pencil, then erasing them one by one while no one is looking. Again, it sounds much harder than switching some bits. And not much easier than doing it at a conventional polling place.
Mother smiling gumdrops! I think that's a bunch of bull smurfs! That sparkle pony happy hole, Bill Gates and his piece of rainbow company, Microsoft, can go flower themselves with a sunshine until they bleed out their bunnies!
But that's not realistic at all. There's too much incentive to sneak in inproper code, closed source, and limit scruitinization. And people don't understand the issues, so there's no widespread demand to enforce those characteristics. Let's just stick with pen and paper.
Firefox 3.0 and Adobe Flash plugin on Ubuntu 8.0. Actually it works better than on my XP machine, cause I can zoom in properly. There must be some hardware specific problems that some users are experiencing.
That sure sounds like illegal coercion, even if he didnt take your camera or arrest you. You should talk to a lawyer, particularly since you have a witness. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$444
She's getting slapped with federal charges because she violated the TOS. So this isn't about child abuse, or anything like yelling "fire" in a crowded theatre. Potentially, anyone who violates TOS could become a felon. That's why this is a freedom of speech issue.
I think that's what the real topic is here. For me, puzzles always seemed out of place in an adventure game. You kill all the zombies and find the magic flute, then all of a sudden the excitement comes to a standstill while you solve some number puzzle. It completely blows the fantasy. If you can make a puzzle that's synergistic with the whole of the gameplay, that works, but that's not what you typically see in adventure games.

Sorry, but nobody had made that wisecrack yet. It is obligatory.
I think Sony's defense will consist of "come on, we make VIDEO games". Then they will cite the definition of the word "video". Case dismissed.

I already have a monitor that beams an image onto my retinas at much higher resolution than that.
Darn, I guess I have to come out of my early retirement, at age 35.

Maybe the running shoes of the future will look more like sprinting shoes. http://www.industryplayer.com/images/licrespic/Sprinting.jpg I always thought modern running shoes and trainers with the big chunky sole looked a little ridiculous.

It means they have little to no oversight, and no checks or balances against them. Sort of like an actual czar.
You can always trademark "Cloud Cloudedness" and then sue people when they look clouded (confused).
Got to take it easy after burning thru Saturday.

When net neutrality is completely destroyed, you won't be able to find any web pages that aren't cornographic!

And just think... The technology in it will probably be used to fight the wars of the future!
I tricked Mattathias Schwartz into writing that shit.
