Personally, I love the idea of a Stargate MMO.. but am I the only one that thinks "Cheyenne Entertainment"'s website looks like a random collection of buzzwords targeting Venture Capitalists?
Does Microsoft internally release Security patches (like the recent WMF patch) to it's own employees before releasing it to the general public? Not talking about for testing, but did Microsoft's employees & systems suffer the same "week of vulnerability" that the rest of their customers faced?
If they didn't (meaning internally the patch was applied to systems before it was officially released), then do you think this is a kind of "rose tinted glasses" for Microsoft, effectively hiding the true scope of a vulnerability?
From the news reports it's strictly a marketing strategy move to isolate Microsoft. MS was looking at buying a piece of AOL to boost MSN, and Google saw a way to isolate them.
I love the GeShi page, how it blocks everything from Slashdot. Setup a site to advertise a product, then restrict people from using it....

You've recently announced that you plan to give Jump To Lightspeed to previous subscribers who had not purchased it for Free, since it is required for the new intro Tutorial. This is similar to the decision to release the "Total Experience" pack for $30 that included the original game, JTL, and the second expansion "Rage of the Wookies", with an additional item (The Barc Speeder).
Do you feel you have any obligation to reimburse the veteran players who payed the premium prices ($30) for each of these expansions when they were first announced (many times before they were even released)? Either monetarily or through in-game items?
There's no reason there couldn't be Linux Support. At the IEEE Viz05 Conference there was a nice talk from the guys operating www.gpgpu.org about cross-platform support, and there's a couple of new languages coming out that act as wrappers for Cg/HLSL/OpenGL on both ATI & NVidia, & Windows & Linux... Check out Sh (http://libsh.sourceforge.net/ and Brook (http://brook.sourceforge.net./
Once their algorithm is discovered (Yipee for Reverse engineering), it won't be long.
Mississippi State University has a good program, both in Computer Science and Computer Engineering, that focuses on Computer Graphics and Scientific Visualization. They also have a close working relationship with the DoD's 4 supercomputing centers (MSRC's) via the PET program.
You can find info on the DOD, MSRC's, & PET on http://aspen.ucs.indiana.edu/pet/
So what happens when an Engineer marries a nurse?
Well.. so far 1 daughter.. I'll let you know once we have a more statistically relevant sample, and I'm putting them all through college.

It's being developed/used by the DOE on alot of Supercomputer Cluster systems, for multi-terabyte storage stuff.
This is one of the fundamental flaws with the US patent system. You can get a patent on just about anything so long as you can write a plausible explanation for it (and "plausible" is all up to the examiner).
If you can't honestly built the item you're proposing, then the patent office just gets your money for free. If one day someone else does, and you try to sue them for Patent Infrigement, then they can file a countersuit proposing that you don't know what you're talking about. At that point, it's up to the courts and generally the guy with the most money wins.
Well, you can browse the forums and see that alot of people are taking you up on that.
The afternoon that TH made the announcement, someone started counting "I'm quitting, who wants my stuff" posts and stopped after 1000. Supposedly over 500 have left from my server (Radiant) alone.
CAVELib's is a very simple, glut-like API that lets you take existing opengl apps and make them "CAVE-Compatible" very quickly.. Unfortunately, it's difficult to do multithreading or view-dependent rendering the way it's setup.
I prefer VRJuggler. It's Object oriented, and pThreads based. IMHO, it's much more "mature" than CAVELibs, and allows alot more flexibility. Unfortunatly, it's a bit harder to learn.
Also, VRJuggler is developed by Carolina Vera-Cruz, the same person that designed the original CAVELibs. In her words, VRJuggler was designed to fix alot of the shortcomings and design mistakes she made in CAVELibs.
Although now they've got back to no penalty.
In a recent patch, there is no decay when you die from a PvP related event. So when there's a large Raid or Battle, everyone just clones nearby (to prevent the wounds), and zerg's the battlefield.
It's entertaining, but not terribly realistic. But it is a game afterall.

Doesn't the article say the PS3 has the 10 year lifecycle, not the PS2?

Right when it decides to find the fairy that can make it a real boy, and freezes with a solid block of ice along with Coney Island..
Or at least it should..

Can someone post the mirror URL's here? I can't even get the mirror page to load, as all of mozilla.org seems slashdotted.
I was just about to post this same thing :)
Has anyone thought that possibly Greg Blepp leaked the code? Being from Suse and all, maybe he still has a little Open-Source allegiance.
