What sort of impact will this have on game sales?
I know that libraries won't be carrying tons of new games. But even if they carry a few dozen different games, how many will that prevent from being bought at a retail store?
Or, are we just talking older games?
The problem with writing an OS specificly for a purpose so small, is that you'll find there are less people who care enough to maintain it, or it'll cost a bunch for the OS to support a team of people to keep it up.
"Well, training machine-learning agents to fight in a digital battlefield isn't really result in "realistic" behavior - those agents are just going to behave in the optimal manner they've learned."
You make a very awesome point here.
A training tool will produce results. But only good tools will produce good results.
Meaning, a tool has to represent a real world situation with the best accuracy possible, for the trainies to come out properly trained.

We rape a planet, and what if life is there?

Thanks!

The next new thing!
An OS, emulated on APACHE!
Microsoft has the capital, and this should at the least give them some strong insights into how a company lke that opperates, so they can counter it.
Well, they could probably afford to buy the people, if they could manage to only pay $1 USD person. :)
To keep the floppy industry alive.
Stop complaining, and start backing stuff up on floppies too!
It's an old standby. :)

"The problem with oil isn't that we're using it - it's that we have no plan to handle the byproducts produced by using it."
So the hangover is the problem, not the drinking?
One is caused by the other. If we can't effectivly eliminate the issues our planet suffers by using fossil fuels, then we need to stop.
"Does it allow for future bases on Titan to somehow suck up methane for fuel?"
You would hope us humans would have learned out lesson about draining the natural resources by then.
bah, what was I thinking?

Something I hadn't really thought of, until now.
Actually, they were built by a slashdot controlled manufacturing facility.
They might have the robots, but we have thier money and the remote.

But you keep reading, so why should they change?
Well, different people have different fun.

They outsourced the editing department.
