I bet his brother installed the hacks and he had no idea how they got there... i have heard this happened to dozens of people in CAL, TWL, and OGL... im sure it is a conspiricy.
makea bootable CD that turns a PC into a Linux Gaming Console that plays games built for the LGC. thats the hook get developers to release games for this one console. instaid of getting a linux version of a pc game we get a linux gaming console versoin of all games realeased. if we can show a large enough installation base we could market it. perhaps phantom 2?;)
you support my point. area 51 is not a joystick if memory serves correct. it is a fake gun shooting at a 2 dimensional depection of a 3 dimensional sceene (like duckhunt). the motor skills will most likely transfer in this case. additonaly it looks like some of the cognitive components did as well;)
americas army uses thier video game for exactly this purpose. it is a research tool to investigate if squad based virtual combat will make a soldier that accels "better" in a number of different catatgories. They are not really interested in whether motor skills can transfer. they know they dont and have plenty of research that supports this. the ability of motor skills to generalze to novel situations is well known and somewhat easily predicted. if the simmilarits of the game are close enough to the real thing then the skill will transfer. the question of what is close enough is a minute detail question. common sense can do wonders here, too much theory can muck it up. riding a virtual bike with a joystick is not a skill that will transfer to being able to balance on a bike. but chosing a good route through an envoronment will. the lattter is a more cognitive task the depends on being able to execute the more motoric task of riding a bike. I know studies have shown that general reaction time to targets is improved with fps videogame use but actual transfer of skill such as shooting (aiming at targets) from fps games to actual targets has not held up under scrutiny. you may have a better awareness of targets in a visual field but you will be no more able to shoot them than the average joe. cognitive skills transfer more readily to novel situations than do motor skills. Most of what will transfer from a video game will be cognitive unless the new task involves using a joystick or keyboard/mouse in a simmilar way.
was reading about the AI that was used for LoTR battle scenes. this would be a helpful tool to get a mm online game going. the startup of one of those huge massively multiplayer games makes it difficult for companys to get a foothold. the ai of the mm game worlds inhabitants has been very poor imo. much worse than a non mm game. I have yet to find AI in any game that did not just make me laugh at some point in time. halo was not half bad but still way off sometimes.
"suggesting wistfully: "We?d really love to make a hardcore dark Zelda, but at the end of the day, that?s something that needs to be discussed with Mr. Miyamoto and his group and that's his baby."
Let someone give birth to this baby! i grew up playing the first zeldas as a kid. I even bought n64 just to play one of the games. I would love to see where they take this charactor if it went dark. it would also be cool to play it on a pc...
it is only a matter of time before this is used to round up non terrorist criminals to make some politician look good. that is essentialy what this kind of information is best for. no terrorist is going to show up with the kind of info they are putting together. there is no way some this will not be used against the peaceful criminals in this country. its a damn shame.
as a PhD student in perception the confidence intervals should be at 95%. this is standard in psychology for more reasons than i will ever have time to write here.

update the drivers? i have a nforce 2 mobo an i needed to update the nforce drivers then install the ati drivers. this was for their latests (9.2?) distro. this was about 2 weeks ago. sounds like no 3d support (i dont have the game so...) hope this helps.
my parents have a media pc and use it for recording because they cant figure out how to work thier vcr... if my mom misses dr phil i have to hear her problems on the phone... so i am motivated to keep their computer running. after spending most of my visits home reformating their hard drives and reinstalling everything i have come up with the following solution. I have set up vnc on their machine and i have the password to their router. i log in to their router, open the port for vnc and take care of what needs to happen. i also installed google toobar for popups. unfortuanetly i cant have them use a user account with fewer privleges because they need the media center functions which wont record if you are not admin. my next move is to use something to take an image of thier hard drive they can just install. they have a recordable DVD so i am looking into this as a possability. last time i went home thier pc had a ton of spyware. teach them a system for saving files in a certian place allways. that way it is easy to get everything back to normal once you have to reformat. if u can afford osx. then by all means do so. my wife uses it.

it not the inventor we are woried about. even if intended for good it will most undoubtedly be used by somone else for evil.
