The VM's ram footprint is larger than the amount of memory he listed.

My local development database CentOs VM with a stripped down dataset is larger than your plenty of memory.

I also did this :( Never played an actual pen and paper game with other people until I got to college.

Having spent the last year developing an app that falls strictly into the later category (tracking) I was operating under the impression that the division you described is how things currently operate. The idea I received from our client was that as long as we did not encourage decisions or try to promote behavior we didn't have to worry about going through FDA regulation. This didn't save us from developing to the same standards as we would have for FDA submission, since the client has plans to expand the product in the future.

I was really hoping for more useful information at the "Largely Hopeless" hyperlink, I should have examined the url first.

I'm a complete convert to Bsnes, it really is a magnificent piece of software and a noble effort.

I believe that's what he meant by the field being self interacting. It effects itself.

Glad to see this coming to fruition, The head of this project from Valve was at the future of education panel at PAX east this year and it was quite an interesting presentation. It was pretty annoying that it got shunted into a slightly shorter time slot, this is an incredibly interesting subject area.

Well said. This thread is killing my faith in Slashdot.

Yes? It's hardly inappropriate for any fifth graders who actually find it interesting to read.

Because it's a great children's book? I read it in third grade the first time.

I followed three links deep and couldn't find anywhere that actually said what the 'pornography' claim is based on. I haven't read it since college but I can't think of anything that would fall under the term pornography.

There's no NDA in the beta. Non elective mode has 'slots' and you pick one of a selection of skills for each slot based on it's type. For example, pick a rage generator for this slot (bash, cleave, frenzy, etc), this slot you have to pick a rage spender, and this slot is for a utility skill. Elective mode just lets you pick any skills for your bar and gets rid of the slots.

Old news is old.

I received my only cease and desist letter around 06 for downloading a game I already owned. I'd left my NWN2 cds at home when I went back to school and just grabbed a new copy of it and used my cd keys for the install. The annoying part was they sent the letter to my schools IT department, who just told me I was in violation, so I deleted everything questionable only to find out it was the one thing I didn't delete because I legitimately owned. This is probably why I'm such a sucker for steam now and have 200+ games on my account.
