I guess I don't understand, Dungeon Keeper? I left that run for well over 5 days on end once, just so I would have more money than King Midas and each of my creatures would be little godlings. Were there widespread issues with it that I never saw?
With lots of steg info, I can see where it quickly turns into a problem. I was considering more of the situation where I have ONE really important piece of information to hide (a.doc with all of my financial accounts, for example) and considered the idea of stuffing it into a forest of innocuous files.
I am no expert, so I welcome modifications to this method, but here goes:
1. Take small piece of highly valuable information and encrypt it with a stong encryption method.
2. Download large amount of random data (pictures of kittens from 450 different websites, lotsa grainy ones)
3. Make strange modifications to pictures (lens flare!)
4. Apply favorite steg method and hide encrypted document.
Because an encrypted stream is obviously hiding, it gives the attacker something to focus on. What a person might do instead with Steganography is embed encrypted information, so that the set of information is not only hard to detect in a field of dummy files, but that once the encrypted data is found one still has to decode it.
Good lord, it's just like Cell from Dragonball Z! Quick, get your magic beans! You'll need them to win THIS fight (and every other one)
The great teachings of anime have shown us the answer. Instead of just breaking it up, we need to use FEELINGS and get really angry.

Actually, I play a wide range of games. Real time strategy, First Person shooter, 3rd person adventure, an odd side scroller here and there, Starscape (which I'm not sure how to classify, maybe Space shooter / strategy?).
My point has been with this, that rather than being critical of current control schemes for the PC, I am being optimistic about the challenge Infinium faces with their scheme.
They plan to bring PC games to a console market. If they plan on a wide spectrum (FPS, RTS, etc.) they are going to have to develop a control system that is not only easy to use (req. for console gamers) but also equally as functional as what the PC games were designed for. What I see is potential to force these folks to innovate within their somewhat unique project.
Make a wheel better, it still rolls like a wheel. Fire that burns cleaner, is still fire. Make a control scheme better for the computer, it's still a computer. Just better.
Mouse/Keyboard is my favorite too. BUT, if these guys are determined to make PC games into a console solution, I figure they might have an idea about a more console friendly controller scheme. Maybe it will be better than Mouse/Keyboard, probably it will be worse. But I would like to see what they produce, if theres a possibility that it could be better (faster, more accurate, easier, etc.).
Just because it's always fun to see innovation.
Because the console is supposed to be a PC more-or-less, I'm actually hoping that they get it right and produce something. That of course means no more sidetracking to sue people for mentioning them negatively. But if they plan to turn a PC into a retail gaming machine, it would follow that they have a control scheme(s) worked out for the PC games they will be running.
In other words, I'm looking forwards to seeing if they can advance PC gaming control to something better than mouse/keyboard. Aren't you?
I would think the Fathers Against Rude Television would have some pretty strong words to say to this secret forum AND The Illuminati. Just look at the acronym's they come up with!
So the doctor who mis-diagnosed 2 of my grandfather's three heart attacks should be totally protected from all consequences of his actions?
I think you need to clear up the above statement, otherwise it seems extremely stupid right now.
A curious thought struck me about the submitters comments. Telecoms would almost certainly have heavy contractual stipulations about their degree of liability, if they were the providers for remote surgical connectivity service. IANAL, of course, but it would seem to me that there would have to be very specific events described where the telecom would be at fault (their own operator cuts the power/line, for example) while most other occurances (freak storms, non-related contractors) would be excluded.
Has anyone had any personal experience with this out there? It would be interesting to hear how they set up a liability structure for such a critical thing.
Also, during remote operations is there a qualified in-person backup handy?

I'd put in for China's plan to expand their energy generation. It would be awesome to see Pebble Bed reactors get some decent coverage mainstream to their stability and safety. If china leads here, I can only hope we play follow the leader. Rolling blackouts, caused by deadly waves of stupid, are just embarrassing.

My solution was to always poison my food. Ever heard of Da Bomb? Wonderful hot sauce, adds some real zing to cheese dip, chili, soups, and the shampoo that first drained, then filled up with water mysteriously.
Perhaps they could release a kit commodore as well, it has been a long time since beginners to computing could sit down and build their own computer from the chips up. Be a great learning tool to see again...
Or, I could take the 6502 and finish work that bending robot in the garage...
Is this still true after BMW bought the rights to the Rolls name a few years back? I only read about that deal in passing; the details basically were that BMW got the name, VW bought all the assets, and BMW was looking up old Rolls Fan's to reverse engineer the cars into the 21st century.
Just curious, that's all...
On the upgraded graphics note, go check out

The game includes an additional module that, instead of replicating the original NES graphics, seeks to have the original game with graphics similar to the SNES verion.
Here is a link to the above mentioned Book. It's pretty good, but it's out of print.:(

I noticed on a machine, that Acrobat filled up the windows Temp directory to the max of 65,534 files. Acrobat would crash horribly because it couldn't generate any more temp files that it wasn't going to delete.
Find your window's temp directory and see if cleaning it out doesn't help you out.

Please discuss, I am quite interested now.
