When everyone gets their own IP addys and don't have to use stupid NATS, then people can log directly onto the other computers during the login sequence instead of using servers as a go between. For games this will result in something unheard of: a 2x speed up in ping times. Instead of client1->server->client2, you'll have client1->client2.
Now the downside of not using a server will be that games are more succeptable to hacks, but good programmers can make anti-hacks. Another bad thing about clients with static IPS is that viruses will be able to spread easier, but I forgot the exact reason why.
I got the impression from some of the news stories that two professional poker players barely beat out the machine
In poker, professional players barely beat out amatuers nowadays.
My friend and I wrote an interesting poker program which sets up a table of 10 on a standard sit and go style table, and plays through 10,000 iterations to see which bot is the best.
Me, being the slacker, never made any bots to play his so it kinda fizzled out because I'm a bum... But it did have potential.

Asheron's Call 1 had some of the best "Slot machine loot" of any MMORPG I know. I used to make $15 an hour on ebay with the normal stuff I'd find, then when an ultra rare came along, it could net me upwards of $100. Too bad the Chinese came into the fray so soon. It was pretty lucrative to play and sell stuff on ebay. Some people made enough to buy real houses with their income. Now you're lucky if you can dredge out $5 an hour because the games are so unfriendly to tradable loot and Chinese gold farmers.
I was thinking today: If someone wins at a slot machine, they tell other people and get them interested in the trip to a casino. Now when people lose, they don't go bragging like they do when they win so negative publicity is low. It's always,"Hey I bought a motorcylce with my winnings." or,"I played all day on one dollar."
Shouldn't there be a virtual machine that runs binaries across all new distros sorta like the windows.exe file? That way you could have a closed source software vendor that sells it's products to the Linux OS.
Microsoft allows programs to install into any directory they want to and modify just about any file. There is no such thing as root access either because every program has it.
Also M$ uses.dlls which any program can change and result in causing programs to crash.
Finally you have the registry which is deliberately made complex so the user can't figure out what the last program they ran put onto their computer.
I'd say these are just flaws with Windows and not really flaws with new Microsoft software.

I think the reason people like RPG with their action is that as the game ramps up difficulty, you can just level your character if you can't fight the boss on your own.
Just think of all the hot chicks you can hear breaking up with their boyfriends. You can totally catch em on the rebound with your,"Hey I'm just passing through, and my job is an FBI agent." routine.
Tron 1, people invade the computer space. I assumed Tron 2 would be the computer space invading people space. I imagined a tank coming out in downtown NY and crushing over a ton of cars. Maybe a light cycle bursting out on the highway clips off a car that just cut off another driver. It wouldn't take a lot of thought to make computer models invading our world work.
Because the government gets to define what's wrong, and they keep changing the definition.
I'm in the minority because I like the Bush administration, but I do have to say that Ashcroft pissed me off when they imprisoned Tommy Chong. For the longest time anyone could buy drug paraphernalia in head shops. There was no law against it. Then suddenly Tommy Chong gets arrested ex post facto. They changed the interpretation of anti-drug laws on the fly so they imprisoned a man who did nothing illegal, and had no chance to stop doing it once they declared it illegal. If I lived in California, I woulda been out every day of his imprisonment holding up a protest sign. I'm sure a lot of people would have been there too, but then the government would have just cracked down on them hard because they'd assume they were drug users. The people knew this and never showed up for a rally.
1) Don't even try hackers
2) Go ahead, hacker, I am taunting you.
3) Consumer, buy Blu-ray discs because your local pirate won't be stocked for years.
4) Vendor, HDDVD is hacked, go with us for more sales instead of losing untold billions in piracy.

I'm sure people will stop buying PS3's due to their outrage.

Next up? GPS tagging plates.
Until a relatively complex network of cars all using GPS is created, thieves can just rip off GPS tags unlike license plates.

Basically every site in .kids would have to be policed by an organization and by the kids viewing it themselves. What happened to this idea?

One of his arguments is: "Show me yours and I'll show you mine." I could just imagine someone saying this to a cop.

I'm sure there is an actual reason.
