It appears to me that this is just that a different, high-res set of images has been used for Indiana (and other areas that appear the same color). For instance, check out this Google Maps image, which has New Jersey and Massachusets similarly "off-colored".
What I want to know is, why does Indiana only have the high-res on this new service, unlike those other two states, which have it on Google Maps as well? As a Hoosier, I'd appreciate being able to see my city in greater detail than these "green-images" which transforum whole blocks into black-green smudges. It's almost like an old-school Game Boy.
I was talking to one of my CS professors here at Ball State University. He said that there are. on average, 200 students enrolled in our CS department. However, we only graduate 20 a year. And we're not on the 10-year plan. Basically, a whole herd sign up for CS as freshmen--even in 2003 and 2004, with the boom having been well busted. About half drop the major after CS 120, the first course. Another half drop after CS 121. We went from a 120-seat auditorium to a little 25-seat classroom. Would've been funny if it wasn't so sad.
The very first news post on Paranoia-Live, which was linked to by the link "an online forum", is the press release the headline comes from. Good day, citizen.
If you're wondering about the computer simulator, I can let you know some more about it, since I wrote it. It's just a simple, dumb combat simulator, where Troubleshooters shoot Commies and vice versa until one of them is all dead. No backstabbing, no running away, no using mutations... not very Paranoia at all.
But of course, the point of the combat simulator wasn't to make a Paranoia game, it was to help Allen balance out combat. You could adjust the amount of damage done by the weapons, the protectiveness of the armor worn, the penalties that different levels of woundings gave you, and various other important-to-game-balancing stats like that. It was a very simple project, but I'm glad that he/Mongoose got enough use out of it to think it worthy to put in the press release.

K-Meleon is the geekier, more configurable... Microsoft may have another reason to worry about Internet Explorer marketshare.
If K-Meleon is more geeky than Firefox, than I don't think IE will be worrying any time soon.
Alek, of course. My apologies.
Read what Alex himself has to say about the hoax. Pretty interesting to hear it from the man himself instead a news agency ticked off at him for fooling them.
*Sigh* I'd believe it.
