So basement dwelling scientists developed what body language is considered interpretable? Great, a whole legion of robots that interpret licking the Cheetos crust off your fingers before your code compiles as the universal signature of an Alpha male.

Well, the driverless car, an idea that's been germinating since the 1980s, is getting a little closer to reality thanks to an E.U. project called SARTRE (the acronym stands for Safe Road Trains for the Environment—no apparent connection to existential philosophy, except that you'd have more time for it)." In addition to this brief article, you can read the project's press release and information here.

Comment Another passing fad (Score 1) 215
I can't reasonably see devices like the Kindle being nothing more than a technological fad unless the costs come down for purchasing a unit and subsequent books. Many users of said devices say they are flimsy and break easily, and several months ago there was the controversial story of the 1984 book deletions by Amazon: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/18/technology/companies/18amazon.html/. Why not just carry around PDF's of books you legally own on a Netbook?
Submission + - Taking the drudgery out of software development (physorg.com)
Token_Internet_Girl writes: "Traditionally, developers have had to write software programs from scratch, whether or not something similar has been done in the past for a different application or circumstance. This has meant skilled people spending a lot of time doing repetitive, boring work before being able to turn out new software for a specific requirement. But a much more efficient way of doing things has been demonstrated by European researchers who have developed an automated way of searching a central software repository to extract software ‘artefacts’ from existing systems for use in new systems." This project is further detailed here.

What the hell is all this WoW talk? I'm surpised no one has made the conjecture that SOE is just bad for gaming in general, considering the way they pissed all over Everquest after acquiring it from Verant Interactive. Seriously, this topic needs an obligatory "get off my lawn" tag.

While I'm glad the spammers are being banned immediately, in all honesty they don't really have a market in Warhammer at the moment. The only mount is gained at level 20, it costs 20 gold, and its very easy to come across that amount of money before level 20. After that, you could spend gold on professions and purples, but there again mats for professions and purples are also fairly common right now. There's just no need for a large gold purchase.
