meeting our needs for the next millenium, it says. Well, at least it's realistic. I'd even be willing to say that this technology may be viable in a mere nine-hundred years!
Though those who developed the "perfect mirror" are busy applying this technology to new long-range fiberoptics (called "omniguide"), I think the most interesting part of the perfect mirror is the ability to "tune" the mirror to specific frequencies of light. That is, this one will block infrared heat at All temperatures, if desired. Google for more thorough descriptions.
Ah, so the screenshots arenot merely worthless because they look just like the old one and so dont show any of the things which have changed, but they are also worthless because even if they did show a change, it wouldnt matter anyway. Thanks for clearing that up.
I certainly wouldnt expect it to. And I dont know where the official page is or anything.. here is an interview. Of course somebody will hopefully make a mod to another game which out-does this thing in every way:)
they're making an SG-1 game now.. (projected 2005 release) have fun for now playing the RPG, injecting yourself with Naquadah like it's heroine (so you can use a hand-device), and using the unstable vortex of the stargate as a battering ram- I bet that wont make it into the real game.
As for the zat gun being fun to watch, it seems a bit too fun. I mean, you shoot the guy once and he falls to thew ground in agony, twitching and shivering and such, then you shoot him again and he's dead, shoot him again and he disintegrates.. boring! I want to stun him repeatedly so he can twitch over and over again...
once, I took the business advice of someone who abbreviated Microsoft as "M$". As a direct result, millions of Americans lost their lives in one of the bloodiest displays I have ever heard a first-hand account of.
They will release the code if people donate to the EFF- that is, they will not release the code unless money has been given to an organization which is able to defend them in court when Tivo does what Tivo will.
Cops nailing you for DMCA violation? First: What does the DMCA have to do with anything? This is just simple copyright violation: unlicensed public screening. Second: Copyright doesnt self-enforce by the law alone, nobody is going to arrest you because they see you with a projector unless a complaint is made by the copyright holder. A police officer has no authority to tell you "stop playing that movie, it's copyrighted!" unless he has been informed by the copyright holder that a violation is taking place- yes, even if you are sitting there out in the open mass-burning DVD copies, it is not a policeman's job to assume that it is illegal. If he wanted to be an asshole he could call the copyright holder and ask them to file charges, but that sounds more like the kind of thing an asshole neighbor would do (a cop can just ask for ID and then shoot you when you pull out your wallet if he wants to be an asshole anyway)
How far we've come. An advanced civilization took a computer the size of a city and millions of years to do this, and now we can come up with the same answer in only 45 bytes.
no.. it's a batman movie. There will be a badguy. Actually, two. I think I've heard the Scarecrow and.. well, that guy who's name I wont try to spell. I love that guy:)
responsibility to the sponsors.. yes.. the responsibility to keep the site up and running, and displaying ads. Horrible thing for a government web site which is trying to stay up and running to do.
when I think of "He's just this guy, you know?" I am always thinking of the second (maybe third?) time the line was said- by Zaphod's personal brain care specialist.
While it does look kindof cute and non-metallic, remember who manufactured him. He's your Plastic Pal who's fun to be with. While my first impression was "that doesnt look like I imagined at all!", after thinking about it, it makes perfect sense. Why should a huge intergalactic corporation with a marketing department large than certain nebulas we won't mention design a personality prototype and not make it horribly cute?
what ever happened to that standards compliant version of the slashdot page that was on ALA? Did the editors just decide "Oh, that's nice enough to link to, but not nice enough to impliment"?
you dont quite get it, do you? The reason the libraries dont want these CDs (and incidentally the exact same reason the RIAA is giving them these CDs) is there is absolutely no demand for them. Zero. How would eBay help? If you've found a way to sell things for which there is zero demand, please contact me and we can go into business (for a short time, before the whole of the world economy collapses due to fundamental laws of trade no longer having any meaning)

maybe you dont understand his post. Let me explain: you're an idiot.

Hey wait a second, that was off-topic!

it produces the number 42, using 45 bytes of code, jackass.

the only thing that will make nanotechnology safe is yet more nanotechnology. So we can't be too cautious :)
excellent work, detective.

Not all games are designed for you.
dont base it on hours.. I do nothing but play games all day and I still suck at everything :(
(you turds)

I always thought Cardassian ships were supposed to be a nudging refrence to the Vogons

Have a great day!
yeah.. I'm stuck on the heart of gold. Remembering the books, I tried to explain tea to the machine.. doesnt seem to be helping.
