a video game presents a scenario/problem
every user has his own individual way of attacking the problem (or in some peoples instances, avoiding them altogether)
this isn't art that you hang-on-the-wall per say, but it engages and invokes all sorts of creative and alternate thinking in the player. i could watch the individual player demos of all the CPL/CAL counter-strike teams and have tremendous appreciation for the players individual actions, the team's overall strategies, their execution, christ the list goes on and on. when a player charges into gunfire, its quite interesting to ask the player why he did so, just as much as an audience might be mesmerized by a painter's choice of color or canvas.
the third post said it best, really, as cultural climes change as a cause of time, what is deemed interesting or entertaining will obviously change as well.
satellite imaging reveals endless amounts of un-inhabited land that, without human interference, seems to create fractal-like patterns. google earth it. its real.
Instead of DRM, the product should be uniquely branded (degrading code or something), so that counterfeits are easily discerned, rather than attempting to prevent counterfeiting.
That's just me.
this is a great post. the only real interest the government has with net neutrality is with censorship and the limiting of packets from sources it deems offensive or blah or blah. anyway yeah, great post.
"MCM: We have to understand that for some decades the press has served basically an establishmentarian function. They have the reputation, and they certainly have the self-image, of being terribly skeptical, prone to disrespectful questions, probing dark matters that authority would just as soon have them leave alone. That's a very flattering view of the press but completely undeserved. The press will not deal with any story that goes beyond a particular scandal to cast doubt on the very viability of the entire system. The press in this country will studiously ignore any story that too violently rocks the boat, whose implications are too shattering."
"In Spinochordodes tellinii, which has grasshoppers as its vector, the infection acts on the grasshopper's brain and causes it to seek water and drown itself, thus returning the nematomorph to water."
Hah! Thats' what the end of "400 Blows" means! ^^
Good advice, but a lot of these things are not common sense to even intelligent people, because some require an intricate understanding of the processes of network operation, some of which is only learned by experience.
with negroponte's laptop freebie-thing, the kids of the future will hopefully be programming infrastructures and desiging better networks. networked digital interaction is the (near)infinite playground, it is play on a level completely different from physical play.
I was gonna type this^, but you got it.
Telepathy isn't some magic ability or superhuman trait; its just the result of repeated practice by many people on a task that does not drastically change. It is hopeful to assume that the members of the team had refined their coordination to finish the task with better quality after the eighteenth trial. When playing in CAL, my team had minimized verbal communication altogether, which gave us the tremendous advantage of being able to listen to what was going on around us. Excessive talking, in this situation, would interfere with environmental awareness.
haha, you reduced my argument to an example so absurd that it isn't even applicable to my point, but that's alright, you're still good at making histrionic comparisons to distract from your intellectual failings.

why is the modded funny? this should be modded UNINFORMED
i really doubt anyone engages in sex for intentional loss. the profit isn't always measured in dollars.

10,000 USD could provide triple-redundant backup for 700GB of data. Come on now.

this post is much funnier than the original post, which is really not funny.
i would definitely put a dedicated firewall in between myself and any campus network.
Nothing's hotter than coming in and hearing, "oh honey, someone else edited my kernel while you were gone. it felt good."

uhh, that would be me, having spent 10/14 of my bipedal years in front of a computer/interweb, and much less time in the backyard pine tree.
my frag videos are entertaining and original!

Oh, the adorable complaints of the pampered...
the symphony of the real-world is the best! man-made music is uplifting, but nothing compared to Life.
you were minorly inconvenienced. you got your money back. doesn't even sound like you had to threaten them.

some won't even admit its their own reflection...
kinetic force from an accidental discharge of a gun well exceeds the kinetic force from purposeful use of a knife.
