uh... EVE Online? I played it for about 3 years... it's pretty much what you described, but the skill system is such that you will be very far behind when you start out (there is no cap on anything)
I'm told the economy system is very close to a real-life one and indeed, it's very cleverly made.
it's also frequently updated - there have been at least 4 expansions when I was playing, and there's a new one scheduled.
try playing for more than 10 minutes on GTA: Liberty City on PSP... it's AGONY i tell you! that twiddly joystick... *why* did they put it right down there....
haven't you thought this might not be a dupe? I for one never saw the original article, so I wouldn't have known about this otherwise. In any case, most people probably forgot about that specific date until it was mentioned here again.
Remind me again why this is even news - you said it yourself - "portable mini-LCD DVD players spend more time on family room shelves than in-use". Portable video players already exist. Just because it has a lowercase i in front of the name doesn't make it news more than anything else. iRiver have had a portable video player out for a while now, and I don't remember a/. post on that.
what I don't understand is how we can only perceive three dimensions and yet we must exist in the other six as well, but we can't see them. There are no objects or life-forms that exist in one or two dimensions, so how can we exist in just three? I would imagine from a sixth-dimensional perspective we look how a piece of paper with no width (2 dimensional) would look to us. If we do exist in six dimensions, but can only sense three, what properties do we have in six?

Ooh, Larry Wall wouldn't be happy about that at all!
Have you tried bitlbee? It supports most protocols, and you connect to it using your IRC client.
It even has webcam support.
I've been using it for a while, and it's very stable. It's better than any other client i've used.

That's beautful, man. Really poetic. Seriously.
The way things are going, AOL will probably have an equivalent firewall in a few years time. Then they can rent it out. Hooray for the free world.

'Kaplan added that Nintendo's seven-week-old Wi-Fi Connection wireless gaming service has had more than 550,000 unique visitors globally.'

this is a great list of MIT pranks.

My favourite computer prank on the list has got to be the 6.001 spellbook handout
I need to go to MIT....
