When the game is designed put a "Damage Modifier" in the calculation for each combat skillset's damage inflicted.
All the DM's start at one.
If a particular special ability of a skillset gives an unbalancing advantage then more people will be training that special ability, and more people will choose that skillset.
The game must automatically reduce the DM of the skillset with the unbalancing special ability and increase the DM of every other skillset.
Skillsets with super abilities get less effective damage automatically, and skillsets without unbalalcing abilities get more effective damage.
Every skillset should have one or two basic attacks that are exempt from the DM, to allow newbies and players on solo missions to be effective.
Skillsets like the force which are meant to be unbalancing get a DM that is twice what they ought to get otherwise.
ShaZaam! I hadn't even considered that there might be hardware speech to text chips, I was expecting that CMU Sphinx or another software package would be required.
The interface could be lifted from your CLI of choice, though multi-line output would complicate matters. Some of the work for multi-line output has certainly already been done for blind people. Just feed that into the TTS chip instead of a single line braille display.
But have you considered going without an eyepiece?
Consider that with a earphone/mic earpiece you can wear it anywhere and only get a few odd looks.
You don't need to implement voice recognition for control, it should be easy to recognize "dit" and "dah" for binary commands (or morse code if you prefer) to control your wearable PC.
The whole point of wearable computers is taking them everywhere.
Well, you can put it on from iTunes on Windows. But not from Linux (AFAIK), if that's what you mean.
I thought the iPod was usable as a standard mass storage device?
Is that untrue?
And yes, I'm aware that songs purchased through Apple's music store do need to be transferred through iTunes, but you should be able to transfer unprotected MP3's by just copying them over.
I'm a time traveler stuck here in 2004. Upon arriving here my dimensional warp generator stopped working. I trusted a company here by the name of LLC Lasers to repair my Generation 3 52 4350A watch unit, and they fled on me. I am going to need a new DWG unit, preferably the rechargeable AMD wrist watch model with the GRC79 induction motor, four I80200 warp stabilizers, 512GB of SRAM and the menu driven GUI with front panel XID display.
It's not so much that open source software is open to review by all, it's the fact that open source developers have learned from the MS mistakes, and they are not bound by the MS codebase to propagate those mistakes.
The biggest thing that open source code does is allow any programmer to submit patches, so when something is found there may be a few dozen people racing to come up with the best fix.
Put your first X in the upper right corner. The computer will play the center. Put your second X in the opposite corner. The compute makes a stupid mistake. Place your third X to block the computer and give you two winning positions. The computer will block one of them, and you play in the other one to win.

You don't get color data from x-rays. All you know is the amount of radiation that has successfully passed through each part of the object.
...they can give me slit pupils like a cat.
Every PvP conflict results in winners and losers.
The winner's skillset's DM gets modded down, and the loser's skillset's DM gets modded up.
This is only applied to the skillsets actually used in the fight by each player.

"But will it run Longhorn?"
Is Apple giving away an iPod to whoever uses this joke for the 100,000,000th time or something?
No, but they are giving a free iPod to the 100,000,000th person to ask if Apple is giving away free iPods.
If it has good mid-range game machine specs it might be a good buy as a standalone computer.
Of course they don't have games to sell to support the console, so it'll probably be pretty stripped down.
It's too bad that this can't be exploited to get your name off spamlists.
Use server side filtering and if the message scores 99.44% spam send a 550 code.
It would be a load on your server until the address got off the spamlist.

Everyone Poops?
Most likely their diet is poor. Really, we are what we eat to a great degree
So the problem is that we're eating tired food?
With all the times that this guy's email is being posted here for the spambots to harvest HE is going to be tired of reading spam.
...because there's something in there that'll try to kill us all.
El Goonish Shive?
And they could name it Microsoft Bob!
well, after tax that would give you about 650,000 robots
And they're short robots.
It's a proven fact that you can't take over the world with robots less than three meters tall.
I could use one of those invites.

Thanks!
I'm guessing that the gains are in Mac folks using Safari.
They have several percent of the computer market and they arn't shipping IE anymore.
Is that for Hams, or can anyone use that much power? (in the specified bands and adhering to all other legal requirements of course)

It's the code stupid.
It's the administration also.
People who know what they are doing have few problems with windows viruses, worms, and whatnot on thier personal machines.
There are far more unwary people running windows than there are unwary people runing Linux.
Now that's cool. I didn't know that the iMac had a video port on the back, I'll have to keep my eyes open for dead-screen iMacs.
And then I'll paint it to look like R2D2's head...
