I am having mine on our usual drinking night. Got 20 gallons of homebrew and pizzas. Sit back and stream something from netflix and call it close enough.
Remember when MXO started they promised that everything that happened in the game would become lore for any more movies. Too bad that the brothers(!?) screwed up the last two so bad that there never will be any others.
Of course MXO bit the dust last month and no one even cared about the end of the Matrix.
This is right on track for my development environment of choice. Believe it or not I find Soundtracks to Major MMORPGs actually to be the best music to develop to. Right now I have Conan, EQII and WoW BC in my arsenal.
I'm in the middle of developing an Android location based services game. I have cut it down to the course location (read cell tower triangulation) and only am using to data to do two things. The first is to determine your startup location and radius of play. The second is to allow interaction between users based on if you fire up the game in their location. You have certain options not available to you when you are in someone elses territory. In no case do I keep any of data except your startup location. The rest gets wiped when you exit the game.
As for privacy concerns I guess it would be a valid point. I know that I have played Parallel Kingdoms (which is cross platform both android and iphone) and it uses the location based services also for the same general purpose of picking a starting area. I'm not any more concerned about a game storing my data than I am about the ability to track my phone without my consent via triangulation. After all the phone has to communicate to the towers.
And don't forget about gambling. It must not be reasonable either.
Honestly I question why a person sitting on a domain that has a single search page is squatting? I have several that are either in development (behind the scenes) or failed attempts. Probably more failed attempts but I suck at promotion. These ALL have something on them that MAY make me some money to offset the costs that I have incurred while developing. I'm not squatting on them and if someone wanted to purchase them they could easily negotiate with me. Squatting would mean that someone else owns the rights or property to the said domain.
I have a similar issue with yahoo. We have people sign up for classes then mark the email they receive with their information as spam. This means that tech support gets to field calls because yahoo bans also by IP. No one that uses yahoo gets their login information and every one of them calls.
Emails to the administration "team" result in form mail back telling me to email them if I want more help. Damnit! I can't email them from the email they want me to email from because they have it blocked. They just don't give a damn.
This is nothing new. I am a Manager at a fairly sizable ISP on the west coast. Comcast has blacklisted up to 3 of our mail servers at a time. We call them, they say just wait 24 hours and a couple hours later mail is flowing. Our customers get pissed at us but will eventually understand that we can't control a huge corporation like comcast. Comcast doesn't have whitelists according to their engineers. Its all an automatic process. What a way to run a company.
Its Comcastic! Or like we like to say.... It's Craptastic!
Perhaps now the movie industry will implement thier own version of Cleanfix and sell the movies for even more to cover the labor costs.
My take on this is that if cleanfix was working with the movie houses to clean up things while maintaining "Artistic Integrity" this would have been moot. As it is I cannot take a movie and alter it then give it away without giving the original can I?
If the Idiots in congress want their email faster perhaps they should do something about SPAM. His late email delivery was not becasue someone was downloading porn it was because the mail servers are clogged with spam and it takes them all day to process the crap.
Oh Wait! There won't be any! Seriously how can this be enforced? Its not like the person running the forums has much control where they are hosted anymore. I host many forums. All of them in another state. Now how can a state I don't pay taxes in impose its will on me?

This device was on a recent Ted Talk. It looks very promising and is really inexpensive. http://emotiv.com/

I can't believe there is no EverCrack! I mean seriously?
It just seems like its been 25 years since we had a prez that paid attention to small details such as science. And I agree a play for grant money.

You could have shared your birthday with me if you had been a little more inpatient and got out a day earlier!
