This one will have guns in which you run around killing baddies? Oh wait, it's just like every other FPS out right now. Just so happens that ID is stringing all the FPS gamers out like this.
Hint to ID: Make more interesting and innovative games. Yeah, it's FPS, but I'm sure there's more you can do instead of updating the engine every few years.
Eventually, we'll buy a renderman card to do games with. Then it cant be "cause of flashy graphics".
We lived about 15000 ft from the CO, and we wanted DSL. We called them, and instead of saying "GFY", they said they'd look into it and call back.
One day later, they said we could get it. Turns out, we were the first, i repeat, FIRST in that whole area for DSL. They installed a DSLAM and got rid of 2 load coils on the lines. All that for a piddly 30$ a month for a 1 year contract.
I'm usually against inflation praticies, but the cost has to come from somewhere if they're going to solve the last mile problem.
Yes, I live 8 miles away from the local city, and there's a CO near there serving OC-3 to local companies.
1: How does the brain work? 2: How does the brain handle failures?
>We're learning that...
3: How can we interface hardware to the brain? Provide data transfers?
>They've already invented an artificial hippocampus...that part in the middle of your brain that's responsible for storing and retrieving memories. I'd look it up, since I'm pretty sure it was on/. before, but I'm too lazy right now.
How about an attachment so that the hippocampus is data-dumped to a computer, so that you can read data storage patterns?
4: Provide a learning, crash-resistant OS
>This one could be difficult. Definately won't be MS branded when it comes out though.
Humans arent crash proof, look at a loony bin. Those are ones that the damage is unrepairable and capible of taking care of themselves. Others, like autism, are functional, but the software that cuts down processing input is going overtime.
5: Provide very low, or no, heat CPU (your brain doesnt stay at 120F, does it?)
>I don't know about yours, but mine stays at a constant 98.6F.
Yeah, but you dont have a heatsink and fan on your head whenever you're thinking, do you?
6: Use Quantum computing for branch logic 7: Understand Node/Traffic theory 100% mathematically
>Technical hurdles. But they'll be jumped, and we'll sit back and wonder how we ever survived without such knowledge and power.
It could be used now. If I'm right, those are NP problems. The only way I think they could be solved correctly is with a quantum computer to branch everything at once.
8: Provide some sort of emotion (all jobs include psychology, doesnt it?)
>The last thing I want is some cheese-eating highschool boy thinking about my emotional state as I order my Big Mac.
Miscommunitation: I meant that the class of "All Jobs" includes the set of psychology. In order to do such, you need emotions to relate to their emotions. There's no way in hell I'd want Mr. I-want-fries-with-that psycho-analyzing me.
9: Easy way to rapidly fix either mechanical or hardware problems (thinking of nanite soup)
>Don't know what to say about that one...
I just cant think of any other way for them to heal, unless a blood substrate was created. Biorobotic.
10: Energy dense source for battery power. And remember, Bayttery power has NOT increased linearly with CPU power.
>Hydrogen. Better chemical batteries. Lower power consumption needs. Perpetual motion Deloreans. It can be taken care of.
The link's absurd. Hydrogen wont work cause it cannot handle heavy densities, unless you get it to metallic hydrogen. And dont tell me low power: the power's not for the CPU, it's for the motors and servos that move the humanoid monstrosity.
Only after answering these questions to the extreme, can we do this:
1: How does the brain work? 2: How does the brain handle failures? 3: How can we interface hardware to the brain? Provide data transfers? 4: Provide a learning, crash-resistant OS 5: Provide very low, or no, heat CPU (your brain doesnt stay at 120F, does it?) 6: Use Quantum computing for branch logic 7: Understand Node/Traffic theory 100% mathematically 8: Provide some sort of emotion (all jobs include psychology, doesnt it?) 9: Easy way to rapidly fix either mechanical or hardware problems (thinking of nanite soup) 10: Energy dense source for battery power.

Those are just a few things off the top of my head. And if you think we can overcome every one of those, I want some what you're taking.
Me being Catholic, chances are that the company would frown upon us if we asked that sort of thing. I know Buddhism (sp?) is another religion, but common practices these days in the US is to slander/sneer/ignore Christians of the many branches.
It's the same way with race. If you're white and another's black and you're both equally qualified for the job you're interviewing with, the black person will get it. It's not that they're any better, but that white is frowned upon.
The best I can describe it is as an anti-elitism. Affirmative action helps too.
Of what I heard, Gutenberg made the movable type so he could make books cheaper. But he also made the "Publishers' Guild" and wreaked what he could have made known to the public.
He put back knowledge for 100 years by allowing of such a guild that muchg power.
I really miss the years of Nintendo (85-93) where innovation hit games. People wernt afraid of developing a few "different" games. Yeah, many stunk, but those few were wonderful.
Now, it's "Lets Publish" v.X+1 of anything that sold in last quarter.
Kinda sad, but many linux games are more fun than Dancing Game 3000SuperX or DrivingGamePowerGo or 3DFPSShootSpree. Most of linux games are mindless (chess, go, shogi exempt) but at least keeps me interested more than 20 minutes.
Exactly. In the deep-linking system of Xanadu, you would be a content provider. And I'm sure you can assess a charge to slashdot if you had a good karma rating. And then, slash itself would assess a charge on all page views.
Xanadu was the first system for reverse linkable, micropayment ready, Super-HTML system.
It was set up originally to help content manufacturers so they could choose how much to reimburse their goods with. You could choose free, if you wanted.
Bandwidth still costs no matter what, so this could at least pay for bandwidth. And who WOULDNT pay.0002 cents for accesses to debian mirrors? I certainly would IF IT WAS EASY.
Xanadu also provided for searchable media: An mpeg movie is linked from IMBD to a section of frame 23508-24003 on the movie servers. The content people then would access a porportinate cost to that snippet. Who wouldnt agree to pay 4cents for that access?
And now for those whining that that network wouldnt be "All Pay", if you create content, you can get money too. It's like a payment counter that goes both ways rapidly.
Instead the HTML One-Way links, dead links, leeches, and no accountability system started. And it started ONLY because Xanadu was closed, secret system then (80's-early 90's), and HTTP/HTML was Public, known system.
Try to seal the room as much as you can (plastic sheets on all but intake) and put canisters of "Liquid Air" inside and turn the valves up to medium output.
If you use standard "Liquid Air", hopefully it's the 75% N, 20% O, 5% others so it would be breathable if you need to enter. You _could_ go with N2 canisters, but that'd be dangerous as it'd displace O2.
It would cost a lot for these cansiters, and you'd have to refill them every day. But that's why it's an emergency.
The only thing I can think of is pay "Energy Truks" : the ones that provide expensive portable energy to power your grid. Still, very expensive.
The best is having an off-site data center that can replicate all your data. That would immue to a shutdown of your plant there. That's not a solution now, but might be when you're back and running.
When is initialazation of a varible infringe on software patents? Or when you add 2 varibles? Or if you use a known, and old theorem for number creation?
And why isnt mathematics encumbered by the same rules and regulations?
Good ol' R, S , and A made quite a while back a system to digitize money into extremly long numbers to represent money. Each number would be encoded the bill amount alone. They also proved it would be untrackable and unbreakable.
They also made into the system a way of determining real-time if any "bill" was being used more than once.
Wow. Anonymous atm. It's a real shocker if it hasnt already be theorized up to the top.
Ok, I understand about the "fraudness" possibly made by the CEO. But if the stockholders think that, cant there be a stockholder CEO-Eject vote and find somebody better?
I'm pretty sure I understand, but I'm not well versed with upper-management in large corporations. Still learning though;-)
I dont understand exactly what Acclaim did illegal (other than make a bunch of shitty games). And it's not like they have a "We are the only game publishers" Patent.
>>>You are telling me it is easier to roleplay while making it all up over a coffee table, than it is in front of a computer game where you look like your character, move like your character, get to interact with mobs, explore a true virtual world and basically see what it is you are talking about? Oh and do it in realtime...
Yes. In a computer, you're restricted by the constraints of the programmer(s). When you're with literally, a party, neat things happen that normally wouldnt.
What matters most is that you have good RPers and a good DM. And if you wanted to compare Paper&pencil rp games, I'd accept something like "The World" on the anime series,.Hack/Sign . Nothing less.
Before, ol' Big Brother could watch us with no repurcussions. Now, we can watch almost just as much of what they do. It equals the playing field of spy-security.
In the future, everybody's going to have some sort of recording device somewhere: street corners, CCTV's in buildings, parking cams, possibly car-cams for "anti-theft".... I want some of that power to use against everybody too.
Just like the NSA thought about releasing NSA-Patches for Linux: If we cant get in them, make it so nobody else can either!
What'd be cool is if they offered a legit way of buying all the roms they have control of. For a few thousand games (and perhaps source?) I'd throw in 100$.

Ohh. Do they still charge you for using Linux, Mac, HP-UX, telephone computers, and others under the site-like license?

Still crap.
