No one ever played Tetris or Bust-a-Move since online gambling inc released the tactile 9000 untimate reality gaming engine.
Seeing as SolSuite and Snood are in the top ten games downloads at wwww.download.com I think the small timers are still in for a shout at the games market.
That is of using the same password for every login. I have three different passwords, a ten character 'public' password for things I don't really care about, the one I use for/.
Then I have a private password that I use for only a few accounts.
Then I have a secure password that I only use as the password for the encryption key that encrypts my other keys.
I've certainly seen bad code written by 'good developers' because it lacks that design of a business analysts. I think it's more important to have good designers and analysts than developers, but it's even better still is some of those analysts are also developers.
I guess I attach a special status to sleep - the inner observer isn't in possesion of all it's normal faculties, hence it's not fully aware of itself, or the validity of it's perceptions. That's called psychosis
I don't feel the same state could be achieved through VR and meditation.
it's not to hard to do with meditation, I haven't tried it with VR and meditation but I've certainlay been able to do it with meditation and other objects in the room. I also quickly stop noticing that black and white TV isn't colour and then subtitled films aren't in English.
It seems really weird, I've never worked on a project anything like as important as IE without having four or five separate teams , designers, business analysts and software analysts, development and testing teams all working on their own bits co-ordinated by managers, project managers and team leaders.
It looks like Microsoft have a couple of interns working on getting IE before they move onto thinking up new ideas that Microsoft can patent.
I'm English and that's the Royal we. I always refer to myself as we unless I actually mean I, this is because I'm a liberal and see how my actions affect others, if I were a conservative I would always use I since that would be the only person I care about.
Do you ever test Microsofts end user and server applications under wine to see if it's possible to extend Microsofts software line off of Windows and onto other platforms?
I've downloaded 50+ demos in the last few months and I've never not been able to find a download that's on a queued site on some other site with reasonable bandwidth.
www.download.com's usually ok, megagames lists lots of alternitive download sites (and it also has no-cd patches too)
There's a post on this thread that says... 'Haven't you ever jammed on the brake in a parking lot because the two cars next to you were backing out simultaneously and you could have sworn you were rolling forward?'
When you at the cinema, doesn't you vision start to cut out the walls and the people in front of you, have you ever visited a 360 degree cinema? It takes far less concentration than you would expect. (otherwise no one would ever daydream)

'Therefore you need a drug that prevents you frommoving, and makes you dozy.'
Meditating and being dozy are not the same thing, in the holodeck you want to use meditation techniques to create hallucinations and not sleeping techniques.
'Holodeck doesn't work. Not for anything except sitting on your ass and watching the action.'
Do you remember the last time you had a dream? At the time did it appear to you that you were moving perfectly normally even though you were unconscious and incapable of movement.
It doesn't take long for you brain to think that your really moving when enough of you senses are confused, I expect that a drug to prevent you from moving and a full d3 projection should be enough.
Hey, checkout KDE apps.org if you want a good example of why rating systems for software don't work. Some of the highest rated apps are ok, but it starts to get random below the top 10-20.
e.g. Kommander is quite good, but it's an absolute bastard to do anything dynamic with (like a scanning com ports for modems and listing only ports where modems have been found) yet it gets into the top 10.
Gambas isn't bad either, but it's got some really odd quirks like all of the objects data isn't available in it's constructor or destructor, and the inheritance and even models are a bit weird.
Well, when I worked at Experian 3-4 years ago we were doing all of that with JavScript, XSL, CSS, XML, Cobol for the main frame and no server side web scripting. On a typical page we would run a number of dynamic transactions that just modified the DOM instead of posting the page. Everything was based on standards where support was available (e.g. IE hack around code wasn't standards based), everything had to pass Bobby accessability and it all had to be simple to use (The police were one of our clients).
Anyhow I hope someone has patents on Ajax, I'd love to take them out with prior art.
Jesus, you write comments like my old employer wanted me to!!, he didn't like comments like..../* display hello world 5 times*/ for( int x=1; x5; x++ ) {
printf("Hello World\n"); }
nope 2) Less than 1/100th of 1% of cases are confirmedfraud.
I've reported fraud before and didn't get anywhere, so that's not in the 0.001% of cases where ebay found fraud.
They also won't count cases where the seller has refunded the buyer. I've had to ask for 2 refunds on 10 purchases because of missleading advertising, I didn't ask for a refund for the Guy in Thailand who advertised on EBay UK, and I didn't ask for a refund for some slightly fault goods.
Basically if I don't mind pirated, stolen, off the back of a lorry, faulty goods then I'll buy on EBay otherwise I'll buy from a more trustworthy online merchant.
Considering when you report someone who is selling pirate software and they do sweet FA, I'd expect the article to be nothing more than PR-Fluff.
All they need to do is remove any artical that it not as described e.g. goto laptops, look for anything with more that 64MB or ram, remove the hundreds of 'bogus were not selling laptops' entries.
They should also give you the address of the person selling the item once you have 'won', and force the seller to use tracked mail and send you the tracking number.

As the saying goes, if you keep on repeating a lie sooner or layer someones going to start believing it.
It's a bit like saying you had a choice in the last presidential election and democracy represents the will of the people.
