Given equal AI (and ghost speed of, say, 75% of Pac Man), the ghosts will always win. If you assume that they are programmed to give PM a little bit of room around the power pellets, taking that time to spread out around the possible exits from the pellet area, then a four mob coordinated predator pack will have no problem tagging a one mob prey, even with the occasional role switch.
Any civilization/sentience/life that is sophisticated enough to do those things that you mention in order to harness all spare solar energy will likely have also found a way to harness infrared (and anything else).
It sounds like you predict life evolves to create dyson spheres. If that's the case, then once all energy is harnessed by this civ, then they won't show up to us anymore.
I will never recommend any for-profit paper mill to anyone, particularly ITT. I've got 40k worth of debt for the majority of classes entailing being a teacher reading a book to us. There were only two teachers that were worth a damn (Hi Mr. Miller and Mr. Richie) and I took three classes under them, total.
Going there went something like this:
First three quarters: This is pretty basic stuff, guess I get to the meat of things later.
Second three quarters: Well, this seems to be as good as it gets, I've already spent almost 20K, may as well finish it out.
Last two quarters: Regret. At least I'll have a diploma.
Not to mention there was a guy in the classes that did nothing but surf the web for nothing but entertainment sites, did poorly on all the tests, didn't turn in homework, but still managed to get on the honor roll.
I hate that place with all my heart and I chalk it up one of my life's biggest lessons/mistakes. I wish I would have paid 1/10 of what I did and gone to community college for the same education.
So as long as I automate the replication of content on the web (eg, make the server do it instead of manually doing it), it is legal? That sounds like a fallacious argument.
I agree, I appreciate that I am able to see it via his website. I'm just confused as to why the line is drawn.
People are complaining about the nice fellow that is serving up the image when the site has been slashdotted, but no one is complaining about cache servers serving up the image. Why? Aren't they just as guilty of unauthorized reproduction as he is?

I notice that they didn't ever skip the video back to the PS3 after "loading" the backed up game. I don't have a PS3, so I can't confirm and/or notice any differences in OS between what a proper disc loaded up looks like or vs. what a backed up game would look like (when they view the ratchet and clank game).

Let's hope that the tech developed to mine or explore this area is remembered for when we need to send probes or other such to similar condition on other worlds.
I stick to my assertions that we should not be spending so much money on trying to explore other worlds before we have thoroughly discovered and explored our own. This is just another reason why - unclaimed resources and opportunities to test remote vehicles/probes in alternate world (or at least more alternate than what most regions offer) conditions.
I imagine that being able to measure one of the basic elements of reality, time, in a more precise manner is a great boon. Wouldn't this be akin to finding out how to measure much smaller spaces? Great!
Also, I don't think New England was considered when they were looking at names. I'm sure there's a bit of confusion in conversation among Mac enthusiasts.
Is there a organization dedicated to exploring and inhabiting all the different environments of the world and developing materials to make it easier? I'd fund them before I funded NASA.
All the money we spend on getting off our planet could be used to further explore the planet and the advancements made applied to space travel. If we could develop materials, method, and technology to the point that we could easily live on the bottom of the ocean (extreme pressure and temperature), I think it might be easier to get that same rig adjusted to work on Venus. If we can easily inhabit the (Ant)Arctic, I think it may be easier for us to check out that same tech on Mars, etc. If we can get a self sustaining flying environment, it might be worthwhile to send it to Jupiter.
In addition, someone else mentioned that it would be impossible to get the materials back from wherever we went. Well, I'm sure exploration of our own Earth and the ability to safely occupy any of it's environments would give us a wealth of resource exploiting opportunities, or at least experience in resource harvesting under adverse conditions, which is what we would need to get those resources from whatever planet/moon we visited in the first place.
You gotta crawl before you walk. Putting man on the moon was novelty, and now we are too hung up on going back. Putting man on the bottom of the ocean in a self sustaining environment has practical applications. In addition to the research and advances from getting there, I'm pretty sure the bottom of the ocean is safe from any cataclysmic event save tectonic motion, which provides another level of certainty that our species survives things that may otherwise destroy most life on the planet./ramble

Half Life 3 would be the launch title to get this platform off the ground.
Now we just need the mods to rate this informative instead of funny and we have a derivative issue with all of this.
Scientific progress goes BOINC?
Wish I had mod points. These statements are, at their root and in order, science, religion, and fanatic.

Hopefully you remain unsuccessful, otherwise he will disappear to his native dimension.
You can pick this thing up from anywhere with the right equipment, right?

If you please, what language is this in before I clear and spend the resources to obtain it?
