I hope that this wont lead to more fraud and scams. I hope that the reason people don't commit crimes against other people is because of moral reasons (absolute or relative), and not because they fear getting caught.
I thought it was about the ports deal. I was thinking about what a stupid name for a company Snort is, and I figured it was some combination of SEA and PORT.
Interesting. I guess I just find it hard to believe that 50 years worth of pollution can have a large enough effect (or is it affect?) on ground-based telescopes as to make them obsolete.
As for the 100' optical space telescope in orbit around the moon. I hope we have the technology and funding for that withing my lifetime, but I can't see that being too cheap!
Between the Space Shuttle's budget, stupid wars, and highways to nowhere, the US government should be able scrape together a few million for these important missions.
Maybe ground based telescopes will not be as efficient 50 years without taking into account advances in technology, but I doubt that they will be obsolete. And what about the huge telescopes that are being planned today? They aren't going to be built where cloud cover will make them obsolete.
Anyways, I guess a little more cloud cover and vapour trails combined with "light pollution" will make today's designs less efficient, but I can't see how there is any way that ground based telescopes will become obsolete.
Personally I will not be participating in this sell-out, but will conitnue lobbying to have most of this IP freed to the public that so generously allowed its creators a profit in the first place.
It's not illegal to copy the idea for a game. Go nuts.
See, that's ideological thinking. You assume some sort of magical system will be put into place and it'll all work well. You assume a system which has not even been designed yet will work better. How can you have any basis for that conclusion?
I live in Canada.
The simple fact of matters is that our system isn't as bad as people make it out to be, and the nationalized systems are not as good as those same people make those out to be.
I don't think anyone will claim that national healthcare is perfect. Just better in theory and most likely better in practice. Wouldn't you rather have the people own the healthcare system and not the insurance companies, lawyers, and drug industry?
Since gold had little if any actual intrinsic value in those times (today at least we can plate electrical connectors with it), acquiring more of it had just the same effect as printing more paper money today: it created inflation, not any new real wealth.
So, is there an IDE like Visual Studio for AJAX, or are we expected to wade through pages of HTML and Javascript like in the old days of the web? In my opinion, GUI applications are best developed inside GUI applications.
If you have 20 minutes to waste, this is a fun read that takes you through the author's experience with the game Eve Online. The author is a jackass for trying to pull off the scam, but the story is very engaging. I liked it, and I've never played Eve Online, let alone any othe MMORPG.
This is probably a stupid question, but could all of the undersea listening posts that were put in the ocean (to detect nuclear subs) during the cold war be used to detect earthquakes?
There's even a new use for a design element we've seen elsewhere: the application of the Prince of Persia time-rewind to the racing genre.
What's the "new use"? Oh wait, there isn't one: it's a direct ripoff. Please don't try to sugarcoat at all what is an obvious grab at existing genre money.
I didn't know that Prince of Persia was a 100% original game. That's amazing, really.
The Xbox already has two popular racing franchises to its name. The exclusive Forza Motorsports is a powerful sim, while the multiplatform Burnout series finds its shiniest home on the Xbox.
Can be summed up in one sentence: Make it a First-Person shooter, or a Realtime Strategy game. Or a sequel of something.
Or did you see anything else hit the game market last year?

Get rid of the bloody Space Shuttle!

Everyone with their national healthcare, as if it's some, so to speak, magical cure to what ails us. Fuck that.
It's better than what americans have now.

Sadly, most people can't comprehend that.

That's cool, but where do you get the tiny little paintbrushes?
Let's just hope that there is another naked patch for this game. What? I know I'm not the only one thinking that...
Damn, I thought there was some New Software Design Hardware. Ah well.
Isn't this technically spyware? Illegal spyware, nonetheless?
Are you kidding? It's not illegal when politicians do it. And by it, I mean anything.

Actually I was asking anyone that knew the answer. This is how slashdot works.
Glad to see they named a comet after a child molester. Oh... Pojmanski? My bad.

What about Project Gotham Racing?

Wow your reading comprehension skills are great. "Even if I set aside the flawed logic..."
For a second there I thought the title of the article was MOD PARENT UP! God I hate when people say that.
License to burn cds. Fuck the record labels. I already paid for the stuff when I bought the cds.
