I'm also doing a MSc. in CS.. and I find your point of view a little lame. I think most of the 3d computer graphics problem is solved, physics also. I am not an expert in the area.. maybe I'm wrong. The whole point of doing a Masters is to do something original and new or connect dots where they havn't been connected before. If you stand up to defend your thesis and say 'I made this new 3d engine' and they say 'that's nothing new or innovative' you'll wonder what went wrong.
I'm half saying this to piss you off... so that you think of a way to prove me wrong. Because then you will have something that a company, probably not even a game company, will put their money behind. IMHO It's a Masters, you should be thinking of your own thesis and finding money to fund it, not have someone dictate to you what your thesis should be and pay you to do it.
Don't worry.. He probably didn't understand the reference, stuck in the primordial goo of nerdiness.. to quote the same episode... Us that do get the reference are truly superior in our nerdiness..
I had to read this a couple times for it to settle..
I figured someone had to be pulling our leg? I can't believe this seems like it's actually for real? Do they have the power to do this in the U.K.? What about in other countries. Canada, USA? Seems a little too 1984 to me.. Imagine having to have your fingerprints taken just to enter a pub!! WTF
Seems like Wikipedia says there's no general definition of a thrid world country and that by the UN's definition of Mexico isn't doing that bad (in the 70th percentile).
However I do accept your point that Mexico has underdeveloped (and probably by defenition third world) areas. Believe it or not we in Canada have native reserves where the living conditions aren't much better than you describe. I assume they are on a smaller scale thou. My question is do you have an internal monetary transfer system to the poor regions from the richer ones or an appropriate taxation system in place? We have one in Canada called equalization that transfers money from the rich provinces to the poorer ones(granted we aren't in the same fiscal situation).
Mexico a developing nation??? Hope that isn't flamebate... Mexico's nominal GDP is 675 billion or 6494$ per capita. Not exactly America's but not in the same class as developing nations by a long shot (which are less than 1000$ per capita).
Although I agree with you the big downside of this game (as with all MMOG) is that you each need a copy to play together. I have GuildWars and I can't log on with two computers on my account:(
And it's diffrent from the
Transmeta Caruso how??? It has a camera, 802.11g, a detachable keyboard in a holster thingy and runs Windows XP.. Cheaper I guess... yes, i do mean that in both ways. This has been around for a while... Move along.. nothing to see here.
BTW I think they are discontinued cuz noone wanted them...
I agree.. It dosen't make any sense from this simple context. If all they want is randomized search requests they could use the Google API to generate them just as easily (if not easier) than what they're currently proposing. There must be a 'foot in the door' type alterior motive here.
When I was a teenager I was pretty average but I had good, smart parents that taught me these things at a very young age. The thing is that this can happen to anyone, anywhere, regardless of the internet. When I was very young we had many discussions about this type of thing. We had secret passwords if a friend was going to pick me up at school and so on. By time I was seven I got the jist of it. THERE ARE BAD PEOPLE OUT THERE! and I acted accordingly. Am I a special case? No, I was seven. Mabey good parenting is the special case....
At a very young age give your kids the upbringing to make their own informed decisions and they won't dissapoint you.
Not that I've spent alot of time thinking about what the best way to vote would be, but the system you just described seems pretty rock solid to me.. With this type of system available there's no excuse for purely electronic ballots. I don't understand how someone could stand up in Congress and say what's wrong with a purely electronic system and them be passed up. Could be one of two reasons; Either Diebold has a strong lobby and a financial reason for purely electronic ballots or a party sees a political gain in having purely electronic ballots.
I don't understand how this cannot be public knowledge in the States. I just checked Elections Canada and the raw database information is available right on their site to anyone that wants it.
In Canada we only have to make one choice; the minister we would like to be elected to parlament in our riding. As I understand it, in the States you make a bunch of decisions on the same ballot. Many Canadians have posted that "Oh... The paper works just fine here.. Silly Americans". Obviously! we only have one x to mark and count... I can see where electronic ballots can be useful in the States although I don't see how they can be as transparent as paper ballots...
However, in Canada the WHOLE election system is completely transparent and any citizen can access any information they wish through the public organization 'Elections Canada'. A similar public system should be in place in any democracy.
On another topic I'll throw this out there.. Why not have paper ballots that can be read into computers. Wouldn't you have the best of both worlds? Both a paper record and electronic counting/

I value my privacy. Not because I break the law and not because I don't think some supreme body should not be watching me but because a Government that is made up of regular people just like you and I shouldn't have that kind of over reaching power over us. Has everyone forgotten this???? I read the posts here and am scared for the first time about the views of many Slashdotters. Never thought I'd see the day.
A government is for the people by the people. Do you remember the intrusiveness of the Nazi regime and the USSR??? This is part of what we detest when looking back at these societies. Sloly but surely even the Land of the free is coming around.... Give the people the illusion of choice and they will follow like sheep I guess
To address the other issue raised here there are legitimate concerns about highway taxes but there acceptable solutions outlined in other posts that don't involve tracking every citizen that drives a car.
Your e-911 service is always enabled. The service you disable is the non e-911 tracking. Atleast on my Samsung it is. It actually gives me a warning to the effect or did before I got rid of it.. I live in Canada however so it may be different where you live
Anonymous Coward, I clicked on the replies to this post (as they were rated 0) just cuz I knew there would be a douche just like you writing an asshat comment about the post.
Who cares! Mabey if it was 600 feet in diamater this would be news... But 6 feet?? Come on! I'm sure 6 feet pieces of land fall into the ocean on a daily basis. Infact me and a couple friends could probably accomplish it! Just because it was recently created by a volcano and still hot this is somehow news?? If I am misguided and this is infact news please enlighten me.
Ummm... i just checked, Kazaa dosen't seem to be open source.. i could have sworn it was. Although there are other open source clients. Sharazza et. al.
Kazaa is open source. This only affects the version of Kazaa that is compiled by them. There's many other versions on the internet days after the official release is put up. All without this protection. The protection is built into the client, not the network. Not that anyone uses kazaa anymore...
Now that research shows that demographics in both countries are identical, practice has shown that the mentality of parents' in both countries also have very much in comon.
Continued exposure simply maintains immunity. The antibodies that are dealing with the disease do not have a chance to dissapear and are reproduced continually to combat the continuing invasion.
Since we are speculating, this could als be analagous to viruses such as Tetnis where a continued exposure to it (in Tetnis's case in the form of a vaccine per decade or so), ensures the persons immune system dosen't 'forget' how to make the antibodies.
Perhaps the ex prostitutes were not exposed to the virus for a while then contracted it again while their immune system could not deal with it or had forgotten how. Unlucky gals!

Don't submarines, aircraft carriers, and navy ships in general fit this description already?
Smaller scale I imagine but nonetheless...

By the jump in stock price it looks like the paper was printed around 10am Tuesday
Seems like a small company but hey anything is possible.
