*Except my wife. While she has a planetary body, it in no way resembles the classical representations of Venus that I have seen. I think heavenly body is the phrase you're looking for, unless you mean your wife is morbidly spherical.
or mouses that basically allows webpages to have "surfaces" that feel different when you hover over them... The possibilities are endless. Yes, blinking flash ads that literally grab you.
It still seems strange. The place is really dry, meaning there's lots of sun. Just make a small package with a GPS receiver, some simple weather instruments, a radio uplink to a nearby relay, a small camera and a solar panel with battery. If the GPS detects any movement, or the weather instruments detect any drastic changes, turn on all other stuff and start piping data to the relay, which passes it on by whatever means.
If anybody steals the package, it'll sound an alert and record who took it, and where they're taking it.
Certainly, but keep in mind that FSX has a fixed mesh for the entire Earth, 5GB of textures just for the ground, plus 2GB of mesh and texture data for select cities around the world. Then there's the player's aircraft, which typically takes 20-50MB for mesh and textures, additional memory for any other planes in the vicinity not of the same type and livery. AFAIK, trees and similar abundant objects are the only thing you can autogenerate. And if you really want, you can get an 8GB expansion mesh of the Earth. Having a dual core really helps for this game.
No matter which way I look at it, no FPS I've ever seen can reach this kind of magnitude in scale of data, not to mention that FPS's are usually significantly more restricted in how you can move about, meaning preloading should be a lot easier.
On the contrary, Microsoft Flight Sim X composits the entire Earth literally on-the-fly. If you fly really fast and/or speed up time radically, the world starts to get rather dull and featureless, since the compositer can't keep up. Slowing down to normal pauses the game while it loads everything it needs in one go, but if you were to fly at normal time, or at least no more than 2x, then there would be no seams anywhere.
What do you mean? My government is precisely the government that is the least interested in what I'm doing and where I'm going, it's all the other governments that keenly inspect my IDs and credentials.
however often the reason behind a specific decision we make comes from deep inside some primitive part of our identity This is so true it's almost saddening. Logic is only a part of a larger brain. Imagine if it were universally easier to overcome our instincts, and people were just 5-10 IQ points smarter on average. My god, so many of the world's problems could just melt away. Sometimes I feel like humankind is just teetering on the edge of intelligence, having barely tasted it.
They're not actually claiming that one thing you think. They have two products you see, one secure, and one lame and convenient. This is unsurprisingly about the lame one.

perhaps the average/. reader does not consider accidentally flashing your companions a problem. It is merely a small bonus added to the overall delight.
Hmmm... there goes my automated video game reservation messages, my Blockbuster overdue messages, automated messages from companies telling us our product has shipped, and any other ligitimate and useful automated phone message you might receive for appointments, etc. Email and SMS is great, you should try it sometime!
The main lessons from TFA seem to be: get rid of CRT monitors Another lesson from me: don't use screen savers at all, use power saving that turns monitors off after 15 minutes. If you have several hard drives, make sure they turn off too after some suitable period of time, especially if one of them is dedicated to storage and not used continuously. Also, the power saving on my AMD dual core drops the power draw from 120 Watt idle to 95 Watt idle for the whole system. "Idle" is of course not quite idle, downloading torrents and web browsing still keeps the processor largely at 1GHz, without bumping it up to 1.7 or 2.3GHz. Graphics card is a decent 7800GT with only a heat pipe, no active cooling.
Additionally, I have a radio remote controlled master power button, to which I've connected all monitors, speakers, chargers, and everything else non-essential for running the computer. This makes it easy to kill all power while still leaving the computer on. A bit more power could perhaps be saved by using an even better power supply, but not buying it will probably save more money and environment.

I was thinking Short Earth Orbit, like SpaceShipOne.
Well, it's certainly demolished. Pictures.
Parent is not a troll. In fact, I agree with him fully.
"Time" is undefined, however.

The graphics in FSX is no small beast.

The xenophobia in more conservative circles is perhaps more heavy than around where you stayed. Specifically, conservative government circles.

No, $40 is 33% less, but $60 is 50% more. Yes, percentages annoy me too. Tools of evil manipulation, they are.
I think the point is about private messaging, not discussions.
However, it is more so now than then.

90 days, wasn't it? VB6 is almost adequate.

Sweat doesn't actually smell, you know. It's the bacteria that grow in it aftwerwards, if you don't remove the sweat.
No, it was called slow-scan TV and the quality was terrible.
