This version of UnQL has no relation to an identically named unstructured data query language proposed by a University of Pennsylvania researcher over a decade ago, Phillips said.
which funnily enough is linked in the summery.
Maybe you should fix this to point to the actual link in TFA http://wwww.unqlspec.org/ ?
It's also a pleasing experience when you go back t o extend functionality, think to yourself "Now why didn't the developer provide this API functionality?" and soon after discover that he not only did, but also provided the functionality you were working on.
Even nicer when it happens over a 5 year timespan.
Does anyone believe Britney has any actual talent outside of shaking her ass?
And that's precisely what makes her an artist and not a musicician.
Which I actually believe is the bigger issue here. If someone can't sing, can't write, can't play, but can shake his/her ass and generally take the life of being an artist (not saying Britney can though), let's call them an artist.
However, let's not confuse them with the persons who are actually making the music.
Heh, once while trying to fix a old Dell, I had to run their wonderful Dell Diagnostics application (to get any support from their support).
The diagnostics application informed me that the computer lacked a motherboard.
My guestimate is that about the P2 400mhz w/256mb ram and background processes cleaned up is where the machine doesn't matter and the network connection is the only substantial bottleneck.
Seriously, this is one of the most interesting starts of a campaign I've heard of in a while!
(And the good thing is that I'm starting a PnP campaign soon, and is quite known in my group for NEVER killing characters (Except when they've done something exceptionally stupid, or in Paranoia). So this will be an interesting concept to try!:)
Oh, and people who compare XNA to game engines like Ogre are missing the point. XNA is not a game engine, it's more of a development tool/platform. It does come with lots of library code, but it's not a full-fledged game engine.
Well, neither is Ogre.
From Ogres about page: ( http://www.ogre3d.org/index.php?option=com_content &task=view&id=19&Itemid=79)
"Is OGRE A Game Engine?
No. OGRE can be (and indeed has been) used to make games, but OGRE is deliberately designed to provide just a world-class graphics solution; for other features like sound, networking, AI, collision, physics etc, you will need to integrate it with other libraries, something several frameworks have done, and we have a collision / physics reference integration library as an example in our distribution."
Actually, you didn't have to go online to get the drivers, you could've just used the driver CD. Which by the way also includes detection of the hardware. And doesn't install any bundled applications.
This link has popped up a few places today, but just in case you missed it: the SF Chronicle did an interview with Fripp back in 1996, in which he talked about developing the startup sound to Windows 95.
I'm kind of a Fripp fan, so I got a kick out of reading this:
Pity that you're not a Brian Eno fan, as that interview was with him...
You're worried about the Wii?!
Just look at the picture on page 2 of the PS3 article! The guy with the controller is standing in another ROOM! I mean talk about large movement!
But really, I'm intrigued, they said they only got some racing game, so is the guy running from his out-of-control car or what's going on? I could understand a new Track and Field, but a racing game?
Seems like if you could define a timeline for outside events--that is, ones that don't directly result from an Actor's Verb--and then possibly have Verbs (yours and Actors') add or remove things on that timeline, that would be a big step forward. Then events can happen, independent of any one Actor, and everyone (you included) can be affected by them. The timeline becomes the plot.
I think I have the same impression from Plotpoints and the Action cycle. But still, I think it'll require quite a bit of 'out-of-the-box' thinking to actually implement a strong story with this... But as you said, this will be really interesting for independent actors.

And didn't Opera do roughly the same thing shortly before the release of Opera Mini on the App store?
But to the wrong paper, as stated in TFA.

Try reading that again. It says "Bluetooth car kit functionality is limited to audio output. Additional car kit features are not supported on iPad.".
Why? Everything important will sooner or later appear on /. anyway.
Yeah, those are much better! http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2010/03/usb_combination.html ;)

Or how about Lucasarts' Habitat for even more prior art?
And solitaire.
Nope, they remade Solitaire for the Vista versions that includes it.
Well, aren't they in a way censoring MPAA from reading these "studies" on what people want to see?
Heh, once while trying to fix a old Dell, I had to run their wonderful Dell Diagnostics application (to get any support from their support).

I'm still in awe over that one...
And that's where technology managed to get it right.
Upgrade to a new shiny body every third year, and these problems would never appear.
(Though it would be nice if they managed to work the bugs out before releasing the body to the market.)
Oh!
:)
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Still better than a related link I got to ebay earlier
"Racism from $1"
I still wonder what they meant...

OMG! And I just rolled 7 D6:es and got 13!
Hrm... Maybe I should quite pen'n'paper RPGs?
