While this might be a big TECHNOLOGICAL advancement, I can't really see how this is a MEDICAL advancement or a viable cost-saving measure for health care.
A lot of your anethesia is monitored/performed by assistants these days, with an anethesiologist in the building just incase something goes wrong. You will now have the ability to have LESS people walking around monitoring things because it can be administered/controlled remotely. The results will be:
1) Less assistants assisting.
2.) More territory for an anethesiologist to cover.
It's the same formula that has been sweeping the nation for years. Do more with less, with someone remotely "assisting." I don't think they'll offshore anethesia, but there are possible applications for this.
What I want IS the old stuff. I want the ORIGINAL series on DVD. I don't want it re-touched, re-mastered, THX'd, shockwave'd in space, nothing else. Just the originals.
Which you can't find unless they're on VHS or badly bootlegged. Why can't we just buy the original cut?
I'm interested to know if anyone's deployed a trojan on an app you actually purchase.
I'm sure this CAN be done, but has it been? I like a free app as much as the next person, but if you're not going to take the time to read what the program is capable of and paid apps are safer - then why not just purchase the full version of something similar?
So we go after a government healthcare because we don't like how that is running, then we go after an ISP, then we go after a cable company, then maybe we go after dentists because we don't the way those are run either.
At what point do we decide who is allowed to operate without government oversight?
I did not propose the idea of a federally owned ISP. I was responding to someone that did. I am very well aware that a government ISP has nothing to do with net neutrality.
Every other country is not governed like the US. The idea may work when implemented by the proper authority. We, currently, do not have the proper authority in place.
Somehow, I think a Federally owned universal ISP option might end up being the same as universal health care. At the end of the day, someone is going to pay for it (not the people that want to use it), and it's only going to compound the problem.
How well is the postal system doing these days? Notice any disruptions/changes in your mail delivery? What happens when the government decides they are going to make some changes to your universal ISP option? They need money, so they sell advertising space on your ISP connection and/or start selling "premium" universal access. You're basically right back where you started.
I'm all for the government regulating monopolies and encouraging competition, but DO NOT put them in charge of services like the internet.
Battlefront did space combat fairly well. You had engineers that had to repair things on your ship or else it was destroyed (granted you could "repair" a destroyed ship). Why not just do the same sort of thing, minus the respawn?

DRM vs. Unfinished Games

Don't you usually pay $60 for an unfinished game anyways? What's the last game you purchased that didn't require at least 1 or 2 updates to fix things that were broken from the start?
I'm glad someone else here picked up on that. I'm not going to be building a deep space probe anytime soon, so I can't attest to the difficulty, but their definition of success does seem to be a bit like dynamiting fish.
Also, the probe could have technically blown up at launch and it still be considered a MAJOR success - if they recovered the capsule. +400
Or it never went to the asteroid in the first place! It was all performed in a backlot. Pretty amazing how everything that could be used as evidence of this deep space journey was inexplicably lost...
I'm going to be testing this in my office. We use a lot of Adobe editing/stamping/bookmarking and I see some potential with this. 18 buttons may be overkill, but it's worth some investigation.
As a side note, I love how close-minded the Slashdot community has become. The reaction to this device would have been quite different had it been called the iWarMouse and was only programmable with macros that Apple approved.
It's pretty simplistic, but it's one of the most widespread and easiest to identify. I imagine an artist could do a fairly good job representing this equation graphically without writing it out explicitly.
The sleeve is a pretty neat idea. I think it could work out very well if you pick functions/equations that can be visualized.
I can understand they are pointing everyone to the typical things we use on a daily basis. Everyone thinks the world ends if our computers stop working. I don't necessarily think a reset button on the world would be a bad thing.
I was just wondering if anyone had looked into things that might be effected aside from a computer, television, or phone.
So would something like an EMP destroy pace makers, artificial hearts, etc.? I know the typical discussion is in regards to someone not being able to listen to their Jason Mraz album on their iPod, but would something like this essentially kill anyone with an artificial/bionic enhancement that controls life support?
LORD should make the list. My friends and I racked up countless hours playing LORD on a few different BBS's in our area. Next to that was Exitilus, which I thought at one time someone was making an updated web version.
As far as PC games go, I really enjoyed Battledrome. It was a 1st person mech game that had quite a bit of customization to it. The single player campaign consisted of battles where you would wager on the outcome. It was interesting in that you could even wager restrictions on the weapon sets for the battle. I only played the multiplayer version over the modem and it worked fairly well for a 28.8 baud connection.
I thought the level creation tools for Duke 3d were great. Even more so, you could combine objects in the level editor to "make" new ones.
Case in point, I recreated my entire high school and played the levels with my friends quite a bit. I even recreated the gym with basketball hoops made out of a pole, a steel tile, and a bucket. Of course, if I did such a thing these days I would be flagged as a threat and thrown out of school - instead of being praised for using a pseudo-cad system to recreate an entire building complex. Oh how times have changed....
Back on topic - I don't expect to see DNF during my lifetime, but I will tell the tale of the game to my son, and his children, so that the legend lives on.
What I think the mass seems to forget is that the typical schooling formula doesn't work for everyone - but you were at least in the school system for a period of time. Even if you feel that you were learning despite your school, it probably benefitted you early on.
The problem would occurr if this "unschooling" trend kicks in with parents of kids at an early age. IE. Little 5, 6, or 7 year old Timmy who doesn't like to do anything and play video games all day long. Instead of his parents actually parenting, they let him "unschool" because "it helps him express himself" - even though it does nothing more than let him waste the day away.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't have minded that option at a young age - but I'm also not living in my parents basement at the age of 29 and wondering why people won't hire me even though I have 3l1t3 halo 3 skillz.

But it will switch fixed costs to variable, which is all the rage

If he somehow wins this case, NCSoft should payout with the equivalent of $3,000,000 in in-game currency.

There really isn't a difference. I think they are just noticing more of a trend with wifi slugs.

Oddly enough, the first film seemed like it took two days to watch as well

You got it. Santa Claus questions would probably be referred to the TSA. The black cat questions might be referred to the Corps of Engineers.
I could be wrong though, so you may want to check http://www.whitehouse.gov/open/

That's right up Steven Seagal's alley. Is the world ready for a Michael Bay and Steven Seagal collaboration? Under Siege 3: 3l1t3 4RMY
A movie with the eye-candy of the Transformers series combined with legendary acting skills.
