Why does the most indepth part of this review need be on the included Vista games? Only office workers with nothing better installed and limited internet resources end up playing them.
We're still trying to get an adult games rating out here in convict-land. Australian Adult Gamers was the fore-front of an organised effort but it looks like the site has gone and I cannot find a replacement
My only "programming" experience was some light VBA, I was able to pick up VBS in no time, mostly using Microsoft's site and help file http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting/
There are also site's out there with plenty of code ready for use and a buttload of books.
This was done without any forewarning to the 'fiercly loyal community' - I realize that they are giving the best part of a month for decisions to be made before the locks are shut - but its pretty much an overnight change which has made these forums an ugly, un-navigable mess for which commitment is demanded.
Honestly, I totally support the use of spyware in these situations for gathering evidence. We use VNC to check up on people from time to time with it running stealth and will screenshot users activity.
...But they only authorise our doing this on users and not management, I wonder why now...
Other wearable technologies coming soon:
*Thigh mounted popcorn popper
*Foldable stomach mounted TFT screen for my ass mounted, slim line nix box.
*Bicep Juicer
My bad. I was doing this purely from memory at the time and the sensationalist news reports. Here is the correct reason:
Grand Theft Auto III was refused classification on the grounds that you could pick up a hooker in your car, do your business, then afterwards beat her to death to get your money back. This is seen as being on par with rape. Rockstar simply edited out the coding that let the hooker enter your car, and re-released the game, with a classification of MA(15+).
Too bad in Australia they refuse to give an R rating to games.
We didn't see GTA until they had removed a scene in which you see a car rocking, windows steamed and can then get out and kill the woman and take the money. Other games have suffered a similar fate, like Carmageddon.
This is a strange fate for a country in which 18-24 year olds make up a very large portion of the gaming market - particularly console gaming.
Now I can have a purpose for waving my hands in the air for no apparent reason!
Possibly, unless you're The Boy Who Could Fly. Speaking of which, this should couple nicely with the flight sim addicted - Rotate your hand and dip a wing, still not sure whether I'll need to do somersaults for barrel rolls though:|
Will it be bloated?
The question is will it be realised with all these features and the end user cost sky-rocketing? Although Nintendo does has a reputation for releasing product that no-one buys.

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog isn't poetry?
We could use this to turn Star Wars Eps. I & II into something watchable?

I do the same and love to watch the puzzled look on their faces when I tell them we haven't paid our power bill.
The classic is to look at the glowing computer screen, look at me, back to the screen *scratch head* wander off into the lighted areas of the office.
