Yes, tracking hones is extremrly cheap. It consists of (at their choice) measuring the strength/time delay of your signal from three phone towers/walkietalkies. Sending a policeman to fetch the theif is more expensive, but hey, it's their job anyway.
Seing how far objects move when you move forward/backward or side-to-side is an important aspect in judgeing distance. Incidentally, the parent shows that you would only benefit from the 3D if you have your head at the right angle and distance from the screen. blagh
Te 3Dness works (or was that fails to work?) by allowing each eye to see a different picture. Only B&W is 3D, and the front picture is color. This is cheaper but no doubt causes problems. It's no surprise that "3D" games don't look 3D on it because it is a different type of 3Dness than before.
Give this some time, and it will improve significanttly. Plus, it will be backed by the computer industry (sell more bigger CPUs and memory)
Sure I saw it. But I didn't like it. The symbols/charecters can be distinguished at a glance, compared to pictures. Pictures can be made clearer, but it decreases the field of vision (less squares per screenful).
Set timelines. (Closed: I can set a deadline and everyone will work towards that goal. Open: Its done when its done.)
Not if there is a company setting the deadline but there are open sourcers working on it in addition to company employees.
Definite commitment to the project. (Closed: people have alot invested to make sure that the project is a sucess. Open: I can leave the project at a drop of a hat and have very little repercussions)
Again, this is if only volunteers are working on it.
Startup (closed: I just have to convince upper management that people should be working on my project. Open: I have to convince everyone that they should work on it)
closed: I have to convince upper management to put people on my project. open: I may convince anyone to work on my project.
It depends. Open source debugging is more efficient because people have a tendancy to be blind to bugs in code they are familiar with. Same as others can find spelling errors in your paper even though you checked and rechecked it.
Is there any way openness could be less efficient than closed?
I have never been told that priacy raises prices (exception: pitating ships might raise the price of its cargo in its destination, but still reduce it elsewhere.). If someone told me that piracy raised prices, I would just laugh at him.
Line 1: I'm not forced to use Windows - I use it by choice. So does everyone else I know who uses Windows. As you may know, there is a viable alternative to Windows: OS X.
Line 2: Oh wait, actually at my last job I was forced to use Windows. When the company purchased a new computer for me (I'm a software developer) I requested an Apple but was turned down.
Reply: Your choice to use Windows was an illusion. Microsoft is a monopoly. It's as simple as that. When you went to buy a computer, and you walked into the little store, did you see a lot Macs, or a crap load of Windows PCs?

Violence is part of most games. I sure hope they don't ban NetHack! I can understand banning games with sexual content, but this is rediculous.
Mod parent Insightful. That will help against continuous tracking (though not if you make a call).
Yes. Most people on Slashdot can't even spell pr0n

Or if you lend the phone to someone else before committing the crime
Calm down, ACs. The story said it was for tracking suspicious^H^H^H^H^H loved ones.
unless they lend the phone to someone else. So much for knowing where your children are.
I thought that the complaint was that it didn't quite do what it was supposed to do.

I was going to make some comment of this type, but you beat me to it. I can't wait for 3D pr0n.

My experience with NetHack and Zangband is that they would be worse if someone tried to make them graphical. But each to their own liking.

The only way out if you want cheaper games is to accept simpler games.
Or produce them more efficiently. Long live Open Surce.

Well they've sold us water, so air is next!
Are you familiar with SCUBA diving?
The problem with legs is that they are slower and harder to program. On a battlefield, being slow is bad.
Ouch, ouch, ouch. You are so right.
It is a lot more difficult about Windows that few people know anythng about computers. Lots of them don't even know basic HTML

Yea, how will I ever enlarge my penis and get out of debt?
But we are the "other developers, quality assurence folk, and everywhere-testing folk"
Right. There is no sense in tv taxes if their intention is to remove adds. This is best done by commercial networks which guarantee add-free tv.
