We had a set sent to our theater, and have had a bit of fun playing with them. We were amazed to find how many people actually use their cell phones during a movie.
Just goofing off I've seen cell phones, laptops, and a gameboy! But no camcorders, yet.
There will be a special on the discovery channel titled "full inbox" nov 28th at 7:00pm with this very topic as subject.
I did some post production on the special, and it really is an interesting and well-filmed film.
It's sickening how many bad parents I've encountered in the game. There was a woman we removed from the guild that used to constantly complain about her 7 year old son and said she has to lock him in a closet during major raids so that he wouldn't interrupt her.
Then you have the 40+ year old house wives who flirt with all the 16 year old males all day. It's SICK how many there are of these.
Everquest really does have a problem on their hands, their product isn't responsible for it, as these people would be find other things that cater to their mental problems, but they have a great oppertunity to find a way to help people. Perhaps people who log too many hours during a week could be offered counselling via e-mail? They obviously have a problem.
seriously, that rewording isn't a representation of the problem. In the original question, it is stated that one wrong choice will always be eliminated. Because of this, you never have a 1 in 3. One of the 3 is never really a choice. It's always 1 and 2. In the end, you're always going to have a 1 in 2 chance, in the beginning you have a 1 in 2 chance even though there is a third door, but that third door doesn't count because it's going to be removed no matter what.
ok, look. you're all being thrown off because you don't realize that one wrong door virtually doesn't exist. A wrong door will be eliminated each time. Your chance of landing on the right door from the start is 1 in 2 even though there are 3 doors because one of the incorrect doors, will be eliminated.
It doesn't matter whether you switch or not, the odds are 1 in 2 to start, and 1 in 2 after the third door is gone. If there are 100 doors, and 98 of them are removed after you choose one that is wrong, and you are then offered to choose again, your odds are still 1 in 2.
It comes down to you having one right and one wrong possibility in this scenario, from start to finish. 1 in 3 NEVER exists.
Same. I quit buying cds years ago as well. On two occasions I've met the artists of songs I've d/l'd after a show and handed them $50. I explained that I have a personal issue with the RIAA and that I would rather them get my money directly. One of the artists laughed really hard at it and thought it was humorous, the other was good humored about it but said that album sales are very important if they want to tour..
I guess the latter musician had a very real concern. The question now becomes, how do we boycott the riaa without starving our favorite musicians? They make more money from touring than record sales a lot of the time, and they can't tour if the album isn't selling well enough to encourage promoters to book em.
How will this affect Doom 3?

ID is already doing amazing shit with OpenGL, will this be something that helps a game like D3 do more or do the same thing faster?
It's amazing how quickly we went from having to make entire ballot trucks disapear last election to merely having the same voter from the bush family vote several times.
2004: election year of the vote box spammers!
I've beta tested SWG for several months now am I am just one of the MANY beta testers who are really suprised to see this being rushed so badly.
This game may be going on the shelves but it will be in beta for a very long time to come still.
I have to wonder if 802.11b is really all that great of an idea for this. A person could build a jammer for $5 in radio shack parts that would crash this thing.
The most high-tech component will be the helmet, with tiny, built-in cameras to spot enemies lurking in the dark or concealed by bushes. The cameras' images will appear on semitransparent screens attached to their helmets.
Sweet! Wall hacks for US soldiers. What else will we learn from counterstrike and quake 3 kids?
Everquest cost me my wife, my kids, my career. I now am recovering from spending the last 3 years of my life immersed in that game. I don't know what it is about that game, but it really pulls you into the virtual world and affects real life priorities in a way no other game ever has, and possibly ever will.
There's an open sourced missle guidance app called seeker that was made in the early 90s as a project at howell university. It was later used to guide p-30 rocket powered projectiles to a target some 450 yards away from launch point. The source is out there and easily googleable for. I wonder if it would apply for this project?
I got to test one of these while on a business trip at a computer expo in Hefton. My initial response was that it was rather novel, but after using it and seeing the detail put to making it a sanitary and convienient experience, I can definitely see how these units would fit nicely in an airport or such.
You definitely won't see these along side a construction site, but these will surely be loved at places where a time-pressed business person needs to quickly check their messages.

actually, it's 1 in 2 because in this hypothetical situation, one door is always opened that is not the prize, so you never have a 1 in 3.
