Star Sonata is a MMORPG set in space. It's sort of like Eve online, only less pretty and free. If you ever played Subspace or Cosmic rift, you know how the game works. It's top down, and you fly your space ship around blowing up AI ships, getting XP and money, and buying better guns. There's a leveling system to train skills, and if you want you can get skills in placing drones to attack for you, or skills in building a station that will mine resources for you to trade with other bases.
The game is really open ended a lot of fun. It's still in beta but I suggest you check it out. It's free:D. Warning: The game is highly addictive and will steal your life.
Can't we get electromagnets or something? Surely they'd be more reliable and less likely to accidently explode.
Wasn't it a faulty bolt that blew the Challenger?
Well surely it does. Atheletes are getting better techniques and strategies every games. Otherwise explain how a 4 minute mile was an unacheivable goal 100 years ago and can now be attained by high school students?
Mod up parent. I use adblock too, and it's been quite some time since I've seen an ad from the likes of doubleclick. *.doubleclick.* gets rid of them nicely...
E-mail is not P2P. E-mail is built on a server-client model. Ever heard of a POP3 server? an IMAP server? an SMTP server?
Direct IP connecting in online gaming, however, IS P2P.
I'm telling you all it would take is one big influx of cash into india to boost their standard of living to the point where they don't want crappy low paying jobs.
drop a couple billion there and boom economy comes back home. Artificial inflation.
Of course, that presents the problem of getting a couple billion.
Heh, I could see that being a serious problem. Just imagine being in a public place and hearing your 'cell call' indicator, then not having anyone calling you.
oh this could be fun

As someone who wired my house when I built it, I have one MAJOR thing I would do differently.
Every room should have at least two cat5 ports on the wall that run to a central box in the basement. Then all these cat5 ports can be patched together any way you please, rather than forcing them to use certain paths. This makes it so much easier to design your home network in a way that suits you rather than the way that works with what you've wired.

Unless the UNIX computer was his brain, the article makes no mention of his use an anagram finder...

"Citing concerns over materials being distributed to American students by the BSA" The Boyscouts of America?! What's wrong with the Boy Scouts?

That's how I got my parents to use Firefox. Except some sites said "IE Only", so I had to spoof it too.
Ugh, the very page about browser statistics you link to is a .asp
I don't believe they named them after a poisonous snake for nothing...
