Back when I was having problems with epilepsy, my doctor sent me to an eye clinic to train my eyes to work together better. This training involved numerous exercises working with those magic 3D pictures and polarized glasses. There was one thing on the computer where you could see a bird with one eye on the screen, and a box with the other eye. You then had to get the box around the bird (It would chirp at you when you got it.)
Coach Morceau Oleander: The Human Mind: 600 miles of synaptic fiber, five and a half ounces of cranial fluid, 1500 grams of complex neural matter...a three-pound pile of dreams. But I'll tell you what it really is. It is the ultimate battlefield--and, the ultimate weapon. The wars of this modern age--The Psychic Age--are fought somewhere between these damp, curvaceous undulations. From this day forward, you are all psychic soldiers. Paranormal paratroopers! Mental marines who are about to ship out on the adventure of their lives! This [points to the brain diagram] is our beachhead! And this [points to his own head] is your landing craft. You shall engage the enemy in his own mentality--you shall chase his dreams, you shall fight his demons, you shall live his nightmares! And those of you who fight well, you will find yourselves on the path to becoming international secret agents-- in other words...Psychonauts!! The rest of you...will die!
Eh what about your pinky? The brain is pretty plastic. You could probally just graft a new nerve to the motor cortex, and just let the brain send random inputs to it until it figures out which makes the cursor go up and which makes it go left.
1. Most senators did not swear to it. 2. Not within the senate's power to decide. 3. Yahoo is now dead. I think the market is handling this fairly well. 4. Foreclosure happens because you took money that you could not pay back. Frankly Fannie should just be allowed to dissolve, but doing that could prolong the crisis. 5. I'm sure that taking oil producers to court would not be a good way to lower gas prices. Thats even assuming RICO was applicable in this case, which it is not. 6. We also don't have magical unicorns pooping candy that cures cancer. Deal. 7. Its stopping itself. You just might not be around to see it.
I disagree with you on many topics, but feel your frustration with the seeming powerlessness we citizens have. Surrender has never provided anything to a people other than defeat. We must continue to struggle or we will just be smothered. Maybe we should write a little letter to our representatives and start it off with, "When, in the course of human events..."
Yeah if anything they will be replaced by these new BCI technologies that are being developed. I could easilly see computer users in the future putting on a wrist strap that detects and intercepts the movement signals being sent to the fingers to run a virtual control scheme of some kind. Heck we could do that now for the most part with kind of a reverse carpel tunnel surgery. You would lose the use of your hand though.
Yeah but the steam version doesn't work with the mods that modify the binary. Fortunately it is possible to get them working though if you don't mind lowering your neuromancer rating a little if you get my drift.
No Crysis 2 requires 2.5 gigs. If you have less than that you can only run at 400 x 300, and replace all the textures with greyscale. The enemies still don't know how to climb stairs properly though.
If I could use a rusty boxcutter to carve a new orifice in my body that's compatible with this link cable, I would already be doing it. I can just imagine the pure musical goodness that would flow through this cable into the wound and fill me completely -- like white, holy light. Holding this cable in my hands actually makes me feel that much closer to the Lord Jesus Christ. I only make $6.25/hr at Jack In The Box, but I saved up for three months so I could have this cable. It sits in a shrine I constructed next to my futon in Mother's basement.
I only gave it four stars in my review because I can't find music that is worthy enough to flow through this utterly perfect interconnect.
Try playing around with "browser.urlbar.search.chunkSize" and "browser.urlbar.search.timeout" in about:config. The prefs file says this about it.
// Size of "chunks" affects the number of places to process between each search// timeout (ms). Too big and the UI will be unresponsive; too small and we'll// be waiting on the timeout too often without many results.
I just wish it would stop crashing every time I start it until I restart my computer. Even does it in (firefox) safe mode. I want to downgrade back to 2.0, but the download on their ftp does not seem to work.
The "awesome bar" is pretty nice, and I can't see that it is any more difficult to use versus the old urlbar. I really have never gotten a clear answer on how the new one is worse than the old one. I've seen some complaints about how typing "w" now gets a bunch of useless results due to "www", but you can easily avoid that by typing ".w" to get sites that start with a W. If you want to make a more complex search just hit the space button and type in another term.
It would be nice if the dev team would add some meta commands to let us change the behavior. Things like a regex match or ways to order the results by the last visited page or something, but thats a reason for the to just add features not to go back to the way it was.
Sounds like a local switchboard number. Likely it wouldn't work for anywhere farther than a few miles away. Its like someone omitting the area code when they give out a number in a local ad.
Kind of. Near the end of the novel there is one, but it isn't really part of the narrative it just happens off to the side. Go check it out in Baen's free library. There is a link in a response to the GP. Or you can just search google. It reads more like a masturbatory fanfic than an actual novel though.

I just switched back to ff2. I figure I'll give it a while and then switch again.

Thats nothing.

I tried to do that, but I couldn't get a hold of any.
Is it bad that I heard British rocketman, and immediately thought Soldier?

This box contains our own universe!
You were subconsciously including the IRS's contribution to your profit margin.
Look up the statistical definition of median and mean. That adage is wrong.
Not really.
So now when our CPUs overheat they won't just burn themselves out. They will explode sending a torrent of steam through the rest of the case.
More like this.
Yeah thats why I buy all my books printed on baby seal leather with ink made from ground endangered butterfly wings.
I bet the software won't be listed as free on the invoices they make to send to the IRS.
Ah yeah. Bang Paths.
