Moving forward and left produces positive motion on the Y axis and negative motion on the X axis, and without other interaction, your orientation stays the same.
Adding yaw changes your orientation.
If I spin out at 0,0 and go straight to 1,1, while still spinning the steering wheel like mad, I'll be yawing like crazy yet my up/down, left/right movement is a straight line. I could be turned around, facing left, any direction on the X-Y axis.
Now, if, at the end, I was facing forward AND up instead of just forward, I've changed pitch. If I was facing forward but on my side, I've rolled.
I guess you're thinking of something like GTA or some other top down game where moving left and right is an implied yaw and your orientation changes automatically... That's not proper geometry.
...so how does this theory explain the 3 week campout people did to see 'Revenge of the Sith' or other movie campouts? Plus it seems that more people are reserving a Wii to keep; it's the PS3 that's going on Ebay more often.
Sometimes it's not economic imbalance, sometimes it's just emotional. I'm sure there's a thesis in here somewhere for some aspiring economist...
I would say get the parents involved if they're repeat offenders, but for a first offense, they should take into consideration that, for lack of a better phrase, boys will be boys. Get them something not trivial, but not over the top, scare em straight, and if that doesn't work it's open season.
Public defamation is bad, sure, but on the other hand, students have been defaming teachers since time began.
If you're children are 12+, supposedly know right from wrong, but still think posting defamatory material about someone is "right", then you should seriously question your parenting skills and, if you ask me, should thusly be held liable for your childrens' actions.
Speaking from personal experience, I had some friends around that age and we'd just do crazy shit. It's not that our parents were bad, but it's an age where you're still immature and 'fun' often trumps 'consequence'. Either it's being rebellious or just being stupid (in my case, usually the latter...), it wasn't stuff our parents should've been held accountable for. It was *my* decision, it's *my* fault, and *I* should have known better.
Life is learning from your mistakes, to find yourself, and even good parents have to let their kids make mistakes and let them have time to themselves unsupervised. It's the only way they'll make it on their own. In this day in age, I find it highly unlikely 100% of kids are going to be perfect angels.
Unfortunatly, I don't think there's any way this can be solved reliably other than the suggestion below to "modify" the settings on the WAP.
Course, if he's the consultant, perhaps he can consult the client sites on this. For a little investment can probably get a big return. The big guns who'd be using the WAP would not be torrenting, they just want to check their stock portfolio, so they'd be happy.
Claiming that you did business with someone and that they ripped you off is not "expressing your opinion", it is deliberately trying to hurt someone's livelihood.
So why hasn't http://www.paypalsucks.com/ been sued out of existance? If you do business with someone and do get ripped off, you SHOULD be within rights to let people know.
The problem here is we don't know what transpired between Bock and Scheff to cause the rift. Obviously if it was intentional defamation, that's one thing, but one has to hear both sides of the story to draw a conclusion. Scheff seemed to take advantage of the situation.
What gets me is this part: Court papers that Scheff and her attorney David H. Pollack mailed to Bock were returned to Pollack's office in Miami.
They made no followup attempt? One would imagine that someone decent would continue trying to serve the papers so they're aware of the case. Obviously the reporters had no problem finding her...
I am of the same opinion.... wait until they release a new revision, if it is better that the old one then buy one, if the old ones have features that you liked but are no longer present in the new revision then buy an older one off ebay
Incidentally, one problem I could see with this is what if the older feature is in high demand, especially if it makes custom modding easier, like a certain BIOS revision or a motherboard revision that's not layered in an inch of epoxy.
Whether or not something like that tips the balance on ebay, I couldn't really say, but it's a thought.
Can ICANN even pull a second level domain?.org is managed by Public Interest Registry. One would imagine all ICANN could do would be to put a halt on the org TLD...
So, hypothetically, I buy a new copy of Crab Slaughter for the PS3. I beat it/get bored, sell it to Gamestop. Someone buys that used copy. They sell it back. Repeat....Doesn't Sony only get paid once during that whole thing?
Isn't that why used games are cheaper? I mean, outside of the not so fresh feeling, that there's no kickback to the studio? I'm not an economist, but it seems logical.
U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor ordered a halt to the wiretap program, secretly authorized by President Bush in 2001, but both sides in the lawsuit agreed to delay that action until a Sept. 7 hearing.
Integrity's there, it's just few, far between and often gets tucked away in janitor's closets.
But it seems that 'all' content includes third party mods, given the recent Oblivion fiasco. Do we have to keep people evaluating new mods and patches to ensure the rating stays the same?
Do patches have to be evaluated before they're released since they're studio productions? Even if there's a critical update in the game? People aren't going to get upset at Congress for this mess, at least, the majority. They would just see it as a game company dragging their feet.
I doubt they'll be happy until every game company goes under.
<tinfoil> Clearly this is all a ploy by the **AAs to kill off competing entertainment industries. Anyone check Brownback's contributions lately? Heh...heh... </tinfoil>
And further down the road it says "abridging the freedom of speech"
There's nothing unconstitutional about a rating system, as much as we hate to hear it. The voice of the game companies is not being stifled in any way through the legislature. They can still make whatever game they want, they're not being prohibited from making it by any law passed by Congress.
True, they end up getting stifled by the economic powers-that-be, but if you're going to be mad at anyone, it's really not Congress, but the Wal-Marts, the Best Buys, the EB Games that, by policy, won't sell stuff in the AO category.
But that's the benefit of a free market: companies have the right to decide what to and what not to sell.
The kicker though, there's been zero day exploits that weren't patched before Patch Tuesday anyway. I can fully understand the desire to test it as thoroughly as possible, so I'm not too concerned about the 8 day delay (given the quagmire of code they have to work with)
What the surprise here is they DID release it early. This has happened only twice before, once with the Windows Meta File (back at the start of the year, http://www.informationweek.com/windows/showArticle .jhtml?articleID=175802202 ), which seemed to be under duress, and second with the DRM patch. More surprising is this one looks like it was done voluntarily.
However, while the media jumped on it, I'm pretty sure it was a non issue. They've got tight enough schedules as it is on those missions without dealing with one extra biological experiment.
I'm expecting fighting games where you can duck left and right by tilting the controller
Nah, just need two sensor bars attached to the ceiling so you duck left and right by tilting yourself! (Police 911..great game, kills the legs, couldn't walk straight for a week after a 45 min session on that thing)

Spiced != spicy. (Spam = Spiced ham)
Spices include other flavor additives including oregano, paprika, thyme, salt, pepper and many many others.
Spicy, on the other hand, implies something that is made with peppers having a non-zero Scoville rating.

Judges aren't required to know how technology works, they just make rulings that affect it.

The more you damage, the more you buy... The more you buy, the more they proffit.
They don't profit if you buy used.
Or is there any integrity left in the government at this point.

Scrolled down farther, figured out it's position and movement. Don't need the replies to clarify.

I'd like to see some of their rejected names, personally. That tack board must've been a testament to failure.

And in 10 years, you won't remember The Killers.
If not naturally, then by lobotomy, I'll make sure of that.
Music didn't change my friend, YOU changed.
So what you're saying is REM and The Killers are the same thing, and the reason I loathe the latter is that I've changed?...

If it's a money dispencer then you consider this common sense i think.
Common sense isn't. This is why curling irons have "Do not insert into any orifice" on a warning label.
