But with this new physics processing unit, I don't have to!
this is exactly what one of my trekkie friends predicted... the day we invent a star-trek "holosuite" is the day our civilization will start to crumble, as everyone will lock themselves up in their own imaginary universe and never come out again.

MOK: We all must have our own personal view of right and wrong. ZIP: but but but is what we are doing evil? MOK: Of course not! Remember Zip, 'evil' spelled backwards is 'live.'

The thing about running over pedestrians in GTA that everyone is talking about that bugs me is, when I played the game, I tried NOT to run over peds, because if there was a cop nearby, I'd get a star and that might impede the mission I was on.
What was even MORE annoying, is that whenever you speed along a given street with peds on the sidewalk, they'll jump in front of the freakin car to their death!
I mean clearly, kids who play GTA cannot be held accountable for the behavior of suicidal AI pedestrians.
I remember reading another article in which the author was describing his experience being recruited by a drill sergeant at an arcade where the author was a dead-eye on those pistol shooting games.
The sergeant was looking to prove to his superiors that shooting games can improve the shooting ability of anyone who's never actually shot a firearm before.
Long story short, he took the guy to the army shooting range, and the guy scored better on his first time with a real gun than most trained officers.

Funny mods don't count for karma...
No profit, so I claim fair use!
No worries, here's an artist's rendition
How many stacked VW beetles is that?
Today I'm announcing the WPU - the Word Processor Unit
Hey if, it improve Slashdots' snytax, gramer end speling, Im all for it.

That is until the Personality Processing Unit comes out
I think they have one of those at the Church of Scientology.
I've never tried it myself, but I read somewhere that everyone gets the same negative results from it.
The enemies of Linux are those platforms that constantly bombard us with WMDs (weapons of mass distraction).
If it weren't for those damned DirectX games, we'd be so much more productive!
Are there really holes that big allowing people to upload crap like this anonymously?
Though I haven't checked lately, my cell provider's webpage had an interface to send text messaging to cellphone subscribers...
So if you took your war-messaging script to a cybercafe, you'd have some measure of anonymity...
Here's an old school idea that doesn't get viruses and doesn't cost nearly as much.
Ha! When I was your age, "old school" meant using a rotary dial, pulse landline.
There _is_ _no_ _evil_ here

Apple may have to buy or build a record label to compete
But Steve Jobs promised Apple Corps Inc. he wouldnt do that in 1981.
for a printer that will print currency so that I can buy the current "largest" computer monitor and/or TV.
Hey you almost understood my humor!
In Soviet Russia, they used this to store information on red mercury.
The current design is proven, it's not like they'd have to go through the whole design process/testing again.
Just order the same parts, new, and put them all together.
for a remake of the UFO tv series, complete with liquid-filled UFOs, purple wigs and pinhole contact lenses.
Who am I kidding. They'd probably remake it totally different. Well, maybe they'd keep the wigs.
Science validates my tinfoil beanie.
was that the original game was pretty linear...
Was there any attempt to fix this flaw or was the game pretty much kept as is, except for the graphics?
The article doesn't tell us anything we don't know already...
I thought there would be at least mention of new prevention measures, or theoretically possible clean-up solutions being proposed.
And therein lay the problem. For years, fans of the original show -- with original star Richard Hatch (not the Survivor champ) as their vocal point-man -- had been agitating for a revival of Battlestar Galactica ... as it originally was
You mean there are two Richards?
Damn you Toronto Star!!! DAMN YOOUUUUUUUUU!!!
They tried, but failed to scour the shire.
My point? I didn't know I was arguing for or against something...
I didn't imply that.
