Then out of the sky swooped a giant bat, picked up the dragon with me inside its belly! The bat flew high into the sky, and actually gave me a nice little sightseeing of the fantasy world from above
Just curious, but how could you see anything if you were inside the dragons belly? Did he have a clear stomach or something?
It makes you think though.. If comments become "too" detailed, it's almost as if you are explaining something in one language then repeating it again in a another language. Why not skip the code part and create machine code based on the comments alone? Perhaps this what future compilers will do?
I prefer to use google maps simply becuase I can scroll through the map easily without having to wait for the page to reload. It gives me a better perspective, IMO.

This makes me picture the cookie monster with an accounting job. I guess he decided to leave Sesame Street once he found out they weren't going to let him eat sweets anymore.
Yeah, I was wondering why some of the text was blurred out. I thought perhaps it could have been a cool new "feature" brought to us by the boys at blizzard.
Okay, I've never actually read or watched any of the Harry Potter books or movies, but my sister is obsessed with them. I remember reading this article and annoying the heck out of my sister by stating that Harry Potter was a fraud;).
Out of all serious though, sometimes a dupe, or "rerun" as you call it, isn't necessarily a bad thing. At the rate at which articles are posted on slashdot, it's almost impossible to have a decent debate with anyone. The article is forgotten within a few hours.
I dunno... I think a more appropriate analogy would be if one installed a huge arse window in the front of your house, then stuck a giant plasma TV in it and getting annoyed and frustrated when people stopped by and watched TV through you window
Yes but what if you were watching porn on that television? What if I could hear your speakers down the road at 2am in the morning?
The question that we need to ask those that are accesing unsecured wireless networks is that was it intent or ignorance? Analogies don't seem work...
There are so many other aspects in current gaming where this could be applied. In an RPG game it could add another aspect to an AI controlled party where, not only would the levels of the other part members matter, but their combat training/experience would matter as well. In fact, the "level" aspect of your part members could be completely removed and it would make sense. Just think of all the stupid things we do when we are first starting out in an MMORPG or RPG because we are inexperienced (well, that might change for some, but in general we do get smarter about approaching our enemies and know our strength and weaknesses better as we level).
Personally, I think it would be cool to be able to go through a series of training sessions to teach my squad of 5 AI controlled soldiers to do what I want (urban warfare comes to mind). However, it would also add to the "work" factor that is present in some games. I picture an online scenario with me and my AI controlled squad versus another player and his AI controlled squad, where he has put many hours into "training" his soldiers, and he just destroys me. This is probably fair, even in a real world situation, since the better trained troops should win, but it would take the "casual" out of gaming.

I don't think that it's necessarily because we don't want the responsibility. It's just that each of us have different levels of responsibility and our views and opinions reflect that. That's why we have laws... because we are so different.
Some people like to ask questions before they shoot.
I think going to the theatre is more about atmosphere. Sure you give up some "conviences" but, at home, you are prone to more distractions (i.e. the dog needing to go out, the cell phone rings, baby crying, etc). At the theatre, you are there for one reason only, to watch a movie. You are focused and set in a "mood".
However, I do agree with you, with television sets becomming bigger and higher resolutions, I feel that this "atmosphere" is going to switch to the home rather than the theatre. Then we'll all just become social outcasts... well some of us probably already are;).
that "Nerds Make Better Lovers" does that mean that they can develop and program a sex robot to pleasure themselves? I hope that the author didn't really think that nerds can actually get real live women did they?
I read TFA. I was simply stating that they were only doing the tests on A6 sized paper and they claimed 170ppm on other sizes.
Besides, unless they had a way to add/remove heads, you'd have to purchase seperate machines to handle different widths of paper. I.E. A letter sized head wouldn't be able to handle a ledger sized paper and vice versa. What if I wanted to print a postcard?
I'd keep my money and go with the speed and versatility of a color or b&w laser printer.

Well how else do you think Bill Gates gets customers? It's the same reason Kim Jong-il is in power. Gotta get 'em while they're young!
For some reason I don't think that there will be any kittens sacrificed because of this program.

TFA states that it prints 150 A6 pages per minutes. A6 pages are only 4.13in x 5.83in. Alot smaller than USA's standard 8 1/2in x 11in paper size.
