  1. Already used to ads on APB To Use In-Game Audio Advertisements · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've already heard ads in GTA4 but they were for fictional products.

    Why not just have a radio that tunes into the current area that you can switch off after a minute of play, or just continue listening to all the ads.

    The afghanies are resisting the americans and are bombing the mining corps, but this american soldier is sent disguised as an afghani to convince them it's a good thing, but then he falls in love with an afghany ... wait a minute sounds familiar.

  5. That's a travesty on Exam Board Deletes C and PHP From CompSci A-Levels · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They should have dropped VB and PHP, maybe also drop delphi and introduce Ruby.

  7. Re:old palms - eink on HP's Slate To Be Replaced By WebOS Tablet? · · Score: 1

    how about sms only?

    if i could share the same number with another phone that'll do voice, that would be great.

    I know there's a peek, if that was in england and somehow one could have a clone sim card to have it intercept the sms message that'd be cool.

  11. Re:Remember on Microsoft Tips the Scale In Favor of HTML 5 · · Score: 1

    Step 2 is to compile into some HTML5 and javascript from Visual Studio, maybe with a Flash studio-esque timeline and animations.

    Expression Blend, HTML5 export comes to mind.

  12. This could speed it up on Obama Outlines Bold Space Policy ... But No Moon · · Score: 1

    give companies rights to a HUGE exploitable area once they have landed a habitable craft onto the moon.

    Lets say for each colonists, say 10km. they can they build the next mine or power plant within that area.

  13. Re:I'm conflicted on Will Adobe Sue Apple Over Flash? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Nothing is stopping MS from creating a legacy-free OS which they would have the control over.

    But the market would pick a competitor if they made the wrong move, they would prefer to keep compatibility to benefit from the existing userbase.

    If they broke compatibility they would also be breaking their own monopoly, and have less restrictions.
    The monopoly issue was with competitors being affected by microsoft bundling their own version of software into windows (which they had a monopoly on).

  14. Optimal revenue on Red-Light Camera Ticket Revenue and Short Yellows · · Score: 1

    Optimal revenue can be acheived when combining red-light cameras with speed cameras and setting the amber time so that exeeding the speed limit is required in order to not run a red light.

  16. Re:Smart move and good news on Adobe Flash CS5 Exports Animations To HTML5 Canvas · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This was the logical step to go from the start.

    Adobe has kept that quiet whilst pretending to be worried about flash going down the pan.

    Flash is just an export file format, and they can now export to a slightly less bloated/featured format. this type of technology will cement Adobe more into the web development industry.

    If Adobe are smart they will be the number 1 HTML5 authoring tools around.

    Very impressive.

  17. Re:They've done it to themselves on Activision Countersues Modern Warfare 2 Execs · · Score: 1

    mount and blade, sins of a solar empire, anno 1404, torchlight deserve a mention. just go for pc only games when buying for pc. instead of keyboardified console games.

  21. Exclusives on Game Devs On the Future of PC Gaming · · Score: 1

    I'm only interested in PC exclusives now... i.e. Indie games, and Starcraft 2. Mount and Blade: Warband looks/seems amazing.

  22. swf might die on Adobe Not Worried About the Future of Flash · · Score: 1

    I doubt .fla will ever die. Adobe can change the output file to html5+js when it is mature enough. It's the authoring software that they make the most money on and not the players.

  23. Re:Fat fact on Fatty Foods May Cause Cocaine-Like Addiction · · Score: 1

    Either that or it would make slightly less profit but the fitness industry would go through the roof.

  24. Touch sensors on the steering wheel on Will Your Car Tell You To Put Down the Phone? · · Score: 1

    If the steering wheel isn't being touched by both hands for at least 10 seconds whilst moving, sound the warning.
