I'm surprised you didn't hear about JIEDO... they were around during that timeframe, but I guess they weren't as aggressive about getting the word out.
How many times do I have to say it- Dammit, watch your OPSEC!

Most science fiction featuring artificial eyes has one's sight adjusted by combinations of eye movenents and blinking rather than feedback from the optic nerve. Controlling it with the voluntary muscle movements associated with sight sounds plausible, but who knows whether this would be practical in actual electronic eyes...
In the EU, any advertised price has to INCLUDE ALL THE TAXES you must pay when you purchase something. This includes things like airline tickets... ever considered how many taxes the airlines tack on on top of the advertised price? It's ridiculous, but at least here you see the ACTUAL AMOUNT YOU WILL PAY in the advertised price. No burying hidden costs in taxes, tacked on at the last minute.
This has drifted completely off topic, but please bear with me. Before writing off the balloon attacks, read up on Japan's Unit 731's activities (warning: it's quite unpleasant reading: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-439776/Doctors-Depravity.html). If the war had gone on just a little longer, we could have been faced with a massive biological warfare attack... it wouldn't have taken many of *those* balloons getting through to make life quite unpleasant.
I like HTTPS Everywhere, but I turned it off for Facebook. Several parts of the site's functionality just don't work on the HTTPS side. Chat was the worst example, but not the only one...
The immediate application that came to mind for this is combat trainers/simulators more than traditional games. Think of the ones used for military/police training or exposure therapy with PTSD. When you're trying to build confidence and muscle memory for life-or-death scenarios that extra bit of realism could certainly help the training.
People don't believe just how quiet hybrids are. A friend of mine had a Prius that we called the ghost car. He took delight in sneaking up on us in parking lots and blasting the horn; sort of a way of counting coup. We took to jamming small pebbles in the tire treads to give us some warning...
This whole thread has attracted quite a bit of moderation, but I don't want parent's comment to get overlooked. Either through ignorance (public defender...) or malice, the defense doesn't always give juries everything they need to make a just decision.
I have been using delicious for a very long time. I have almost a thousand bookmarks collected over the past 5 years. I use it to tag things that I find interesting and will want to reference later, as a search engine to explore tags and find relevant sites when I'm getting interested in a new subject, and to be able to reference bookmarks from work or any other computer I find myself at. I have not seen much spam at all; the only time I ran into links that were obviously spammy was when checking out porn related tags... and even then it wasn't terrible.
It was a good service. I was a little worried when they got bought by Yahoo, and now I'm sorry to see it go. I've seen Diigo and Xmarks tossed around in this discussion as alternatives- I hope they are as useful as del.icio.us was.
Suppressing? If a company decides that (for example) telling dead baby jokes will offend and alienate its customers, and they therefore decide not to do so, were the jokes 'suppressed'?
How are the principles of civic liberties affected because a private group of people (EA Executives, board members, and game designers) decide not to pick a fight with a vocal minority?

Completely off-topic, but I'll take the hit. In the new achievement system there is an April Fool tag that seems to require posting in one of these innane stories... feel free to post a reply if you want it too.

TFA mentions this problem, and pretty much rules out the possibility of using low energy neutrinos. A significant part of the paper is about picking just the right neutrino energy to communicate on.

Tell that to Ryan Air...
Oh, so Ledgermain (roguelikefiction.com) doesn't count as a roguelike? Roguelike interactive fiction is a perfectly cromulent genre!

They sell powerful magnets that you can put on the bottom of your bike so the sensors will detect it.

You do realize that these are pulsed lasers, right? There won't be an anime-style beam-of-death jittering around the battlefield.
But only for 5 days a week ;)
40 working hours per week / 162 hours in a week is about 25% of your time spent working.
