It's like that vertical take-off plane, I recall someone saying that this thing shouldn't even be able to fly, the only thing keeping it in the air is the computers (technically speaking).
All you have to do is like GTA is doing: if you barge in on regular NPCs you get demoted by the game, blocked by your fellow NPCs, etc.
The goal of such a game would be to be a reverse GTA. Heck, imagine if you put that option in GTA, then add MMORPG elements to it. You could play either the bad or the good guy, online, against other players. And make sure the game allows for vigilante so that you have the other two kinds of players chasing you, for extra fun.
Say what you want about ST:Voyager, but at least the Doctor was one of the most entertaining character I ever saw (witty remarks without completely realizing it, etc).
I'd love to see a Seinfeld-style sitcom with the Doctor (Voyager), Data (Next Generation) and Julian Bashir (DS9).

And we'll never be able to make a computer small enough to fit in a shirt pocket.
Science-fiction is fiction based on science. It doesn't require actual, current technology, only theoretically possible technology.
Just because you think it's not possible with today's technology doesn't mean it'll never exist.
In any case, a rocket-jet-inside-a-shoe is still at least more believable than some guy being bitten by a spider who can then hold a tramway full of people with his bare hands.

For once, it looks to be at least within the realm of possible science (i.e. real science-fiction as the term implies, not the usual hollywood acid trip scripts).
Oh, and none of the "I got bitten by a mutant spider/got exposed to gamma ray/etc" crap that is usually associated with american super-heroes.
Right now, using SSD is not about saving money or having a faster drive (unless your other choice is an 1.8" drive, like the MacBook Air).
SSD is supposed to be about power savings, which should be one of your top priorities when designing a portable device (see also Nintendo GameBoy vs Sega GameGear).

So that's where the rocket boots get their fuel from.
Bravo!

Actually I'm waiting for kind of the reverse of GTA. You could play as police, S.W.A.T. army, vigilante citizen, etc.
It could even start as you playing an average guy, like Half-Life.
And if such a game already exists, I'm sorry and please tell me the title of the game.
Well, at least they don't need to upgrade their video card every 6 months.
Grand Theft Auto IV = 11,800,000, Polio = 4,890,000.
Not only that, but movies are usually shot at 24 frames per second. Therefore movies are encouraging people to be shot 24 times per second.
Movies are murder!
Slashdot links to this story, other websites link to slashdot, etc.
The parent is right, by linking to this you are actually helping Jack Thompson.

Nope. Remember what Fox Mulder said: trust no one. AFAIK that includes yourself.
Tell me about it.
I bet one or two photos would update the whole town, too.
If Adium is based on the same libraries as Pidgin I hope this fork won't put Adium in trouble (or at least won't add any delays in updates).
Wow they have them in gray now? Good-bye beige, time to upgrade!
All the people I know either use Trillian or MSN Messenger on Windows and Adium on Mac OS X.
Anecdotal evidence isn't a strong argument, unless you only wanted to prove that AC wrong.
How about asking actual users before starting to code anything?
Or at the very least, fellow programmers who work on the same project?
Is there any way to know if a certain device has built-in wear leveling capabilities?
More specifically, I'm talking about CompactFlash cards, since they can be used as an IDE drive with a simple 10$ adapter.

I bet there's a secret coalition between Seagate, Western Digital and Samsung to fill the internet with p0rn just so they can sell more drives.
Sorry if I forgot any current company or included a dead/merged company in my short list, it changes as quickly as tribbles can reproduce.
Great, now I have to find Nemo?
Oh, the quality is going somewhere alright...

it's going down!
Negotiating contracts with ATI and nVidia for a share of videocard sales does take time, you know.
Geeze, you must be new here... is this the first "you insensitive clod" joke you've seen?
Yes I was trying to be funny, however I really am lactose-intolerant.
Thanks for the information.
