wait until society realizes that a photorealistic game is the best way, bar none, to educate, then we will have the real revolution.
First Person Learners instead of First Person Shooters.
What if, after completing a stunningly animated and directed PhysicsWorld I, II, and III you get a degree of some sort or certification. How about JavaArenaI-4 and the IPSuiteTrilogy? Maybe our decendants will pour their intensity and testosterone into mind boggling hardvard level training (not edutainment - bleah) that is not just fun but rocks. The overpriced, overadministrated halls of academia will quake.
I agree with you.
My dentist said he could get HIV from inhaling my tooth dust. He is misinformed or am I.
I have always sorta wondered about saliva, snot, and tears too.
Rick Inatome (CompUSA founder) soundly lost a debate to a Honeywell and an IBM jurassic defenders I attended back in the 1980's at WSU with the conclusion being that microcomputers (not really called PC's yet) were amateur level while big iron will be needed to run important business matters into the forceeable future. Well that was one version of myopia and Sun/EDS suffer from another.
it costs money to analyze, design, develop, distribute, evangelize. Someone will pay for those different but essential areas. If you are lucky, then you are a government employee (like many Euros) and no one really pays, or work in the university world (nearly the same as previous), or are a student at a highspeed internet enabled playground (god knows who ends up paying) or are a basement coder who works at a fast food joint for ISP money and do it for the joy of knowing your code will be on the list of 3000 application ported to FreeBSD but never used.
Otherwise, you probably can't make much as a normal commercial software inventor, which is increasingly seen as an anachronism from the last century.

Sure it always starts with the Ooohs and Aaaahs but it always ends up with the Running and Screaming.... (paraphrase from JPII)

only the outlaws will have exploit knowledge. (to paraphrase a wingnut bumper-sticker)

yeah but it might be MICRO$OFT's marketing department, with a lamely installed vanilla victim distribution.
funny... although if this is serious then it will be owned by lunchtime...
to find what a lot of scientists (Geologists, not "climatologists") think is by far the main reason the planet is warming.
