How about stacking? I don't know much about algae, but I can't imagine it needing anything too terribly deep. Could one-foot deep water do the job? A three-story, one-acre building isn't all that big, but could hold about 30 acres of this stuff. Then, being inside it would make collection simpler.
Possibly integration with microwaves and toasters and toilets and all those other things that can have pointless IP addresses. If a game tells me to go do something, screw it. If the game/rewards/ me, I'm there.
Generally, It would probably be a good idea to use some kind of small case or glove if you value your screens:-) That's about what I was thinking, too, but to me, it's main purpose seems to be as a music player. Scratches don't seem too big a problem as long as it is at least readable and audio quality is not effected (affected? i dunno, i no speek inglish good). In that sense, having to make sure the visible part of something meant for audio is extra protected doesn't seem worth buying extra accessories. This may be partly due to the fact that I'm still entirely to broke to have ever purchased an Ipod, and if I had bought one, the extras wouldn't be too much extra hassle, but still an existant one.
Of course, not everyone has the same goals out of their equipment. That said, I suppose my ideal wish for that would be variations in models to accommodate both those with my approach to the concept, and those who prefer a touchscreen.
Again, my experience with touchscreens has always been in a "not-likely-to-be-scratched" environment, such equipment in a computer lab, so I just speak from intuition, not experience. I do enjoy learning a thing or two from people with better experience, though. I deem myself +1 enlightened from this thread.

Sadly, no. Always wanted to, though.
So after these fatal crashes, which occur in the air unless I'm mistaken, they catch the planes?

fatal crashes involving the ground (as opposed to buildings, mountains, seagulls, etc) should be relatively rare I'll be willing to bet most fatal aircraft crashes involve the ground...
Touche. You got me there.
I happened to have found mine on a lucky day when a post-argument-long-walk led me to a crunched little box on the street. The ipod was fresh and new, but the accessories were gone. Having not had interest in it before that, I didn't realize the headphones for it had those controls, but given that fact, my mind is changed... I think.
What about scratches? I know mine got pretty banged up staying in my pocket. Does this affect a touchscreen noticably? I can't imagine it being such a problem, but really I've never used any sort of portable touchscreen where damage can be an issue.
Touchscreen seems nice at first, but after a bit of thought, it adds flashiness, but takes away from usability. I like the physical controls that allow me to use my ipod without having to look at it. The edges of the scroll-circle-thing guide my fingers where they need to be without ever having to take it out of my pocket. Having this on a screen, while nice looking, would really screw with my aim.
But then again, if everything that would usually be out-of-focus would be made in focus, wouldn't you spending too much time looking at all the background/unimportant stuff and missing the important stuff?... without the headache, though.
That being the case, if only everyone could just get start getting caught at once. When they catch 1 in 2 people, you pay double for a CD if you get caught pirating it.... that's a reasonable gamble, free or double price, and they get their money out of it. Who knows, it could be fun.
I've submitted some patches for an OSS game at one point, and it was as simple as introducing myself to the team saying that I was interested, reading the code until I got it, while watching what kind of changes were being made lately by other people (through cvs), and learning to patch so I could submit mine where it was reviewed (I suppose, I don't know the process; it just took a while). ^^ Wow, that's a long sentence, but I'm no grammerologist.
My reason for posting, though:
This post made me have to ask, is it at all a common practice for an OSS team to have 'structure guru' type role where someone doesn't particularly have too much emphasis on the coding of new things as they do just knowledge of how it all fits together and works out? I'd imagine it to be beneficial, because while it is one less coder, it is a reference for anyone else who would like to fix/revise/add/whatever and are new to the project... like a team mentor that's there to bounce questions off of where documentation might not cut it (for instance, maybe a very broad view of how all the modules of an application fit together). Just curious, never heard of it happening.
Sure, you could take those pictures with a cellphone camera. The real trick is picture messaging them back. I bet reception is pretty bad from mars. For that matter, when are off-peak hours?
Can you hear me now?

then XP... 10 pints? maybe 10 paragraphs? Either one seems kind of a downer after 2000.

I don't get how they would know something that huge... Wouldn't that mean observing it for a billion years? Could someone shed some light on that?
