    I liked the messed up alchemy system that could make any potion maker into a god.

    And the item physics that let you make impossible stacks and then remove the lowest item to have a floating tower.

    It was a incredible game, but it could have been a lot more realistic in places.

    "Haaaauuurrgghhh ..." said Arthur as he felt his body softening
    and bending in unusual directions. "Southend seems to be melting
    away ... the stars are swirling ... a dustbowl ... my legs are
    drifting off into the sunset ... my left arm's come off too." A
    frightening thought struck him: "Hell," he said, "how am I going
    to operate my digital watch now?" He wound his eyes desperately
    around in Ford's direction.

    "Ford," he said, "you're turning into a penguin. Stop it."

    They never mention what kind of distance you have to be from a node in order for this to work.
    Yes they do.

    Article Quote.

    VDSL, a newer kind of DSL, provides much higher speeds, of up to 52mbps. But it can only transmit signals up to 800 meters, making it useful only in very densely populated areas, such as high-rise apartment buildings. VDSL services are popular in large cities in Asia but are not viable for most markets in the United States.

    UDSL provides a middle ground, according to Chow. Because the technology is compatible with both ADSL and VDSL standards, it adheres to requirements of both technologies. For example, at distances greater than 1 kilometer, it provides an ADSL-like service with ADSL data rates. But at shorter distances, it can provide VDSL-like service with data rates that match or exceed VDSL. In some instances, Chow claims, a UDSL service could provide up to 200mbps of bandwidth. This is four times as much bandwidth as is currently available through VDSL services.

    The answer is simple.

    You put the camera on the back and the emitter on the front as shown in the pictures.

    Then you sell it on ThinkGeek.com as an invisiblity cloak.

    From what I could tell neither of the two of them cared about privacy in the first place or otherwise that wouldn't have happened.

    And why care about paintball guns when you can simply shoot them with REAL guns without all the crazy mousetrap like action of shooting them once and then running away to set an ambush up later.

  17. Re:Logically, on Playing Games With One's Brainwaves · · Score: 1

    Well there would be a bit of tuning involved, but really nerve signals are simple.

    Each nerve goes to a specific muscle fiber.
    To move a muscle thousands of pulses are sent to various muscle fibers in the muscle. If you make a device that can monitor the nerve pulses, and have the person make various hand and arm movements. You can quickly map out the functions of the nerves for that person.

    Not really.

    While the actual brainwaves are complex, the signals sent out through the nerves are simple digital pulses that could easily be read and interpreted.

    You could alias the moving of an index finger to the movement of your character on screen, and make various thumb movements into weapon controls.
