Lack of skilled artists with spare time isn't really the problem in my mind. They exist, in masses, just look at fan art and person art pages. But these people are ussually just artists and lack the knowlegde of how to transpose a drawing into a game. What is in low supply is graphic artist with modeling skills. Making a good model still requires expencive software and a lot of time. But as making models gets easier and generic ones start comming avaliable there will be people willing to contribute.
To get to this stage though the OS community needs some things. First a usable OS modeling app, this isn't going to exist for quite a while though. Good modeling programs cost thousands and currently would require the developer to working with a different OS to use it. It would also require graphic artist to make in the first place. Things like Crystal Space are starting to appear though.
But there are other things that are needed to build games and the great thing about the OS community is that everything is build in interchangable peices. Things like the physic engine, ai, media handling could all be seperate projects that will evetually spring into existence.
Games like you can buy on the shelf now will be producable by the OS community in a few years. But we will always be behind CS.
The opensource model does not lend itself to the massive untertaking of making a game.
The great part of OS is that it allows everyone to add to a project, changing it to fit there needs or desires, and give their opinion. This doesn't work for making games though. You really need a group of people that are lead by a single idea.
Developing a game for free is not a viable idea. It takes too long and requires too many skills. If you were to do it following the OS model the game would be out of date by the time it hit alpha. An OS project that would be far more likely to succeed would by developing a physics engine or other core element, leaving the actual game design alone.
Games really require a monitary modivation to be developed properly. Games currently still rely on the box price for their income thus OS will not work. But as multiplay support gains viablity, like in MMORPG, the value of the game will come from providing servers. Hopefully this will create a licencing fee for online services and allow for free product and an OS model.
Well seeing as the bugs live off of the current envornment by "cleaning it up" they would be exterminating themselves.
The concept of planting sunflowers or other species of "normal" plants is that life attampts to maintain an environment where it will survive. Thus sunflowers would attempt to change the slag dump into a envornment where it can live and thus so can we. These bug, in there attempts for survival, whould maintain the alkaline nature of the dump and thus be counter productive.
I get my ass kicked by most chess players I go up against but I have still beaten every comp player I have gone up against. Sure these aren't great programs but GNUchess is pretty powerful and has beat many 1000 rack players that I have asked to play it. The key is that you can trick a comp very easly. YOu hid your self behind many move victories so that the tree doesn't see it before it is too late.
Comps are good at repetitive testing of piles of options but it has no innovation and the inablity to see what is happening in the game. If you look at game 3 from this match Fritz didn't have a clue it was loosing until the end. All it knew was it evaluated the game to -1.5 which is meaningless when you can see it's impending doom easily.
If you want you can strip everything out or pick a different distro. I hacked up a slackware kernel and got it running on a 1M DiskOnChip with a 386 processor and 512K ram!! Even got nano on it:)
"Problems with abundance"
"Any technology which creates abundance poses problems for any process which existed to benefit from scarcity."
Is this a bad thing?? Do we want to promote scarcity?
Better agricultural technology equals more food. So this happens to cause obesity in some people. Is that worse then having everyone starve?
Having the rich be able to control scarcity and block tecnology to keep abundance under control is not somthing I wish to promote.
Technologies ability to bring equality be reducing cost to the point where everyone can buy it is a good thing. The inablity to handle it is it own natural balance.
The alternative is the artificial war state of Oceania.
Skin is a major problem. Second to vision. If you have ever met someone that has lost there sense of touch you will realize how much you need it. It is very elaborate way of measuring pressure and danger. Far easier than trying to constantly "Watch" everything. Try think about how you could preform a hand shake properly without skin.
A diode has a 0.7V drop. A NPN transitor in the on setting acts like a diode. The 0.2V is probably an arbitrary guess at the voltage drop across FET which can basically be used the same way.
They carbon date the ink not the rock, the ink was alive. They can also carbon date many other items if you can determin what the initial conditions for the item was, like forged material.
According to the artical on him, also among things that he has done in his life to set up these three events include "to prove that he was living sought arrest [he:] tried to run for parliament, kidnapped the son of the uncle who had stolen his property, threatened murder, insulted judges, threw leaflets listing his complaints at legislators in the state assembly and demanded a widow's pension for his wife."
So do get the peace prize now you have to add kidnapping and threat of homicide along with being dead. I guess I am out of luck!
Wow I didn't think there would be that many people that would actually fall for it. It is like going to a cop at a drug bust to ask if you can buy some of it.
Ummm... you do realize that the US isn't a democracy. Look it up. The US government is a "Republic with Democratic tendencies." Hence why things like Majority supression don't exist.
You remove the energy from hurricans and other storms and you reduce the purpose of weather and turn the earth into a zero-world. A world that obeys the same weather laws as our current one but has no energy and doesn't cycle and is incapable of supporting life as we know it.
This talks a bit about the advances in nanotubes. HiPCO is gaining a lot of headway. If you have IEEE journal membership there are a lot of papers on it.
The human body is just a bunch of cell order in such a way that combinds to form one self contained entity. It preforms usefull tasks.
Anything that grows, adapts, and replacates can be consitered an orginism. And linux does just that. It is not diffrent than memes. In fact many consiter the open source mentality to be a meme.
In my mind, saying Linux is a product is like saying the human race is a single entity. There are thousands of forms and each installation of each form on each computer is diffrent in some way. Why can't I say that Linux is a Species of core software?
The heatsink has a liquid core, thus moving parts. And seeing as liquid expands when heated needs to be room for this inside the core. This will createe bubbles. Bubbles cause noise when the water is migrating from hot to cold through the pipes. There is also small amounts of noise from the metal expanding and contracting. Thus virtualy silent.
With 3.4^38 IPs even your home networks will need DNSing for you to find anything, nobody s going to remember that fe80::a34b:44f2:3905:932c is the fridge while fe80::a34b:5c32:3905:932c is the printer
Even with a DNS over the internet site names will run out far before addresses do. Using ever permitation of alphanumaric characters for the site name it will take 25 characters to map every address. You try telling someone that your site is www.sutdjosntajutsnelsynzpref.org advertizing will be hell.

it's can also reffer to possession. Where it owns something you would say "that is it's object" ~Never trust an AC for grammar advice.

I think he ment that 90AU is the distance from earth to the probe. Sounds a bit more reasonable to me.
