Sure you can. I've known everyone from Joe Sixpack to Ivory-Tower Intellectuals and in-the-real-world problem solvers to make stunning displays of stupidity, such as not unplugging an appliance, or walking away from an ATM without the money, or simply forgetting to have breakfast AND lunch and suddenly feeling hungry at 3pm and not knowing why.
Camping's created entirely by the users... it'll die as soon as the traffic algorithm is fixed so camping is not longer needed to try and boost people's traffic. Camping is just really basic Search Engine Optimisation. SL is entirely creative and consumptive. There are no goals, just creators and consumers and a whole lot of chat inbetween. I find the socialising comfortable enough in the areas I hang out, and I love being able to script and manipulate objects 'live' with others. Great collaborative opportunities.
If you've followed the games, you'll know his "leadership" is entirely not by his choice. When people follow him, he just tells them where to go. That's about the extent of his leadership.
That's impossible to 'fix' by the nature of the world. If you want an object to listen for another object, you set up a listener filtered to the other object's specific name or key. There's no permissions system for general chat beyond channels, and it'd be a MAJOR inconvenience if any object had to get permission from all parties within 96m of it to listen to them. Speaking on channel 0 is identical to speaking in public; anyone can hear you, anyone can record what you're saying. It's still a legal violation IRL, and a Terms of Service violation in Second Life, but it will always be possible. The only other way would be to make llListen like llRegionSay and make it unable to listen on channel 0. Now that WOULD be a pain, although it might reduce lag a little.
Space Cadets. They also had two actors amongst them, to aid groupthink conformity against the illusion. They convinced them they'd flown to Russia... they flew in a circle and landed in Wales, I think.
Yes, but how frequently are the in-car ones updated? Just because the data source updates doesn't mean the technologists deploying the data (ie. Google, TomTom, whoever) are updating as frequently as the data is released.
Plants are highly immobile, and food for both both dogs and humans. Don't anthropomorphise species which are not human, especially not within a scientific context like this. It's actually quite likely that plants treat 'sibling' plants as an extension of themselves; it's a highly logical adaptation. Instead of being two separate plants, they are two growths of the same plant, and thus do not compete, as fighting with that which is yourself (read: more or less the same DNA) is futile and does not further propagation of the genetic code. The reason animals fight is due to the vast genetic variation between siblings; also for purposes of entertainment and education. Even twins will fight in species with developed brains, for then memetic influence becomes key on top of genetic influence.

Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter. The two games (PC/360) play roughly the same, but entire aspects are different; more team-control in the PC version, third-person view in the 360 version... each uses their interface appropriately while reusing exactly the same graphical, level, and 'core' assets.
That's interesting, but what if step 11 of the loop is dependant on step 10? How does one vectorise that? I can imagine vectorisation of loops working alright for basic loops like the one you described, which'll help in a number of cases, but it's not going to scale exceptionally well. It's good, but it's nothing amazing if I'm reading this right.

Very much depends on where you are. In a city like Tokyo, not so much. Anywhere else, definitely.

Actually, I'm kinda hungry right now.
She certainly didn't get permission to inflict COBOL, yet I hear no apology.
Your sig actually flowed on quite nicely from that rant.
Hopefully they only do that after requisitioning the engine, and all other removable components, for use in police vehicles. :D
I would mod you funny, but I'm in crippling pain just from reading it. Bloody hell.
I thought I was near-immune to puns now, but... agh.

the Japanese have definitely forgotten this belief...
Really? I thought there was Italian butter in Montreal.
In the sense that Linux has no sort of coherence or pattern...
Agreed, "plank of wood" rather suited the character and story.
Yes, until you notice that their definition of "their own borders" includes Tibet and Taiwan...

Yes, and when Jabber updates, GTalk will update with it - faster, sleeker, and branded. Good luck.
Fish and chips? I'm all for that!
Ah, good to see someone brought it up. THE GRID IS DOWN, and thus I'm so bored I'm browsing Slashdot instead...
yeah, but from personal experience, Readyboost works with about 1 in 10 USB Flash devices. Finding a compatible one is a pain in the ass.

Objectivity clearly has an anti-Bush agenda...
Fixed.

human language needs more of parentheses
