i joyfully clicked that link, eager to see a frozen hard drive shatter like glass. But all i found was a T2 clip. Now i have blue-eyeballs and have to watch a few Will It Blend videos.
Thanks for nothing!

i've always wanted to try using duct tape to strap an HD to a sledge hammer. If i used enough tape, the pieces would stay somewhat together. Eventually i'd have a duct tape bag full of HD bits.
If it's your favorite Sci-Fi movie of 2009... it IS the best Sci-Fi movie of 2009. Anyone who doesn't love it as much as you is an idiot. If someone says something about their "opinion", just tell them that their opinion is WRONG. Also, everything is a competition, especially your feelings about movies, music, TV and other media. There is your experience, and there is the WRONG experience. Don't let them get away with some bullshit about "subjective experience". Use some words like chiaroscuro. Talk about how it has no plot. Just because one event caused/led to the other doesn't mean it has a plot. It has a plot if you like it. If you don't, it doesn't.
If a movie you like does well, that just proves how right you are about the awesomeness of the movie. If it tanks, it's because most movie goers are mouth breathing cretins who know nothing about cinematic aesthetics.
If you hate the movie and it does well, it's because of those same knuckle draggers. If it does poorly, then that just proves that you were so right about how bad it was that even the plebes didn't like it.
Everyone should feel and think the same way you do.
No can do. i'm entirely too stupid. i am so humbled before your superiority that all i can manage is to tell you how dumbfounded i am at your magnificence. You're clearly smarter than all the people working on using twitter for these applications. You could be the hero who saves the world, why are you keeping this secret to yourself? Save us!
Twitter has plenty of uses. The issue has been that it's primary use is reinforcing the ego-centrism of teenagers. Cars and planes were derided as toys when they were invented. Twitter (read: mircoblogging) has tons of potential just waiting for imaginative developers.
Where i work i proposed using it to send alerts to students and faculty. "The DC campus will be closed until tomorrow. Ashburn campus will open at 1030". (guess where i work)
"Students of Macroecon 101, Tuesday class. Your professor was eaten by a grue. Class is canceled until further notice."
Personally, i think twitter should become a feature within other sites, or an open protocol all sites can use.
Would you say he dies every day, or once a week or once in a while?
Seems to me he'd just die the one time like everyone else. Unless he's a fictional character. Hamlet dies at the end of the play, every time the play is performed.
Capitalism started out as an absolute do-whatever-you-want-just-don't-share-with-anyone free-for-all. Like most conservative fantasies, it rapidly devolved into an authoritarian group usurping natural ownership and dictating rules galore. "We automatically own all your stuff" isn't the only feudalistic rule totally contrary to the system's original spirit.
Erm. No, they aren't in jail for senility. They're in jail for something along the lines of obstruction of justice or destruction of evidence (evidence tampering?), disobeying a court order perhaps. Imagine a company whose executives embezzle millions from customers. They commit their crimes on encrypted servers. The cops confiscate the servers, but the conspirators refuse to decrypt THE EVIDENCE. In US law, they might be able to hide their crime under "self incrimination". If i murder someone in my house and refuse to allow the cops in on the grounds of privacy, they'd laugh all the way down to the precinct. Allowing people to hide crimes behind encryption is risky.
It sends a message that A) you can refuse to do what the court tells you and B) that it's OK to commit a crime as long as you encrypt the evidence.
So we must either A) make it a crime, like 'contempt of court' or some such to hide evidence or B) hold people in jail or on bond until we can decrypt the files.
Methinks the term is over/mis-used. If it is massively multiplayer, it MUST be online. There are no LAN games that are massive. If it is massively multiplayer... it must be multiplayer. The second M and the O are not needed.
If i say its an MFPS or MRPG, it should be understood that we're talking about a game that uses the internet to connect many players into a shared space.
Diablo *can* be played online, and *can* be played multiplayer. But it wasn't built around that. It's not massively multiplayer so, and it can be multiplayer on a LAN. We don't need the internet for it.
We can't play WoW on a LAN (i'm not counting private servers).
i would love that. WoW, EQ and even Aion facilitate one style of play. Even if you play a sneaky character, it still always comes down to killing. These games rarely offer any real puzzle solving, stealth or negotiation.
Spyware watches you to target advertising at you, and to help companies figure out how to optimize their costs and profits. This game is watching you so they can make games more appealing to more players. A game that designed to appeal to one play style will likely annoy the other types. Your Solver will complain about the lack of puzzles or over dependence on violence. If you can make a game cater to multiple styles, more people will speak well of it and more people will want the sequel. Yeah, you're helping them gain some competitive edge over another company, but you're also likely to get better games. Or games with broader appeal, without losing the niche players.
If this game can sense that i don't dig puzzles, it could send me more bad guys to kill. It could create opportunities for less violent play by letting me sneak around or by negotiating with NPCs. If it can do this w/o me thinking about it, so much the better. i don't want to tell it i'm a solver.
i'd love to see games adapt difficulty in real time. Let's say i'm playing BioShock 2 and i suck at FPSes (true). i have very poor eye hand coordination. But i still want to play the game. The adaptive difficulty could sense that i can't aim for shit and maybe reduce the health/armor/agility/awareness of the enemy. If i am spamming tons of ammo, it could give me more, or narrow my cone of fire. If i'm being hit all the time, it could give me more health kits. This would reduce the urge to reach for cheats, and could make the game just challenging enough to be fun (rather than frustrating or boringly easy). Most people like a bit of a struggle, but the still want to eventually win (this is true of most human activities, even dating).
Heh. i'm just the far seeing visionary in the marketing dept. If you want actual solutions, we'll need you to talk with our Engineers.

Hmm, let's go for it!
Well, maybe it could be sockets in lamp posts or posts between the concrete dividers in the lot. Or better yet, have trellises that cover the parking lot. They support planters that provide shade to the lot and maybe clean up the air a bit. Add some solar panels here and there. Have power cords dangling from the posts.
Maybe some kind of induction system, if there is a way to do it safely. The network knows that it's ok to charge your car when it senses an RFID. The panel under the asphalt charges your car by induction.

Thanks for the CoinForge link! GoldSilver.com has a minimum of $50 and high shipping costs. Other sites seem to have even higher minimum orders.
Let's get through the issue of you being a dick. OK?
Well, we could always dust off and nuke the site from orbit.
It's the only way to be sure.
Am i correctly remembering that the Moon has a good supply of H3?
It wouldn't be the first source you'd use, but once the infrastructure is in place it should be a good source of energy.
You broke my heart!

Overkill is an oxymoron. There's no such thing as TOO dead. :)

Or, build a game without farming or player trade.
As for "outsourcing" it goes against the idea that games should be fair. i can get all the inequity and unfairness i can handle iRL.

Sounds like the MPG is non-issue for this car, unless it's operating beyond that 40 mile range. In that case, we need something new....
Miles per dollar?
Miles per kilowatt?
Miles per Newton (or whatever we can equate all fuels to)? (i have no idea)
In any case, the 40 Mile range is AWESOME for some people. i could go for a few days w/o charging.
