Players run through the simulation, make certain choices, and then they all engage in an after-action review session to check the appropriateness, or effectiveness, of their choices.

The AAR, great in theory...but harder to sit through than a 4 hour budget meeting.

I tend to agree...and I've sunk more time than I'd care to admit into Aerobiz Supersonic.

As long as my neighborhood hogs are actually paying their fair share, and my provider uses that revenue to increase our infrastructure

Oh that last part tickled me...what color is the sky where you come from?

I am sure that only sane, rational, and courteous debate will follow. Finally an argument-free thread!

No, I'm pretty sure the box said Swedish.

In a related story, researchers have discovered that the Google Translator translates "whooooosh" as "Ljudet av ett skÃmt som flyger Ãver huvudet".

The repairs will actually be done a little sooner, but they pushed back the release date so they wouldn't have to fight with Star Trek, Transformers, or Harry friggin Potter. Just be lucky Iron Man is waiting until 2010 or we'd never get any sciencing or universe imploding done.

Heck, just send it in to Exploding Dog. I can't foresee any interpretation which would not range from surreal to hillarious.

Further proof that crime doesn't pay. Unless you have a reliable business plan, of course.

Electronic Arts is ironically going to be the savior of Open Source then? [citation needed]

75% of the fish I eat are Swedish. They declined to comment.


They will be punished.

...bigger than football and hockey combined.

It's easy to understand why. Have you ever tried kicking a football on skates?

No, I'm merely pointing out the absurdity of the claim and the likelihood that they really developped anything. This patent is taking the classic shotgun approach. Their core idea appears to be (if one can even be said to interpret patent writings)converting HTML to XML for the purpose of navigation by quadrants. They then of course extrapolate that to all possible uses, even speech recognition software. Had this patent been filed 5 or 10 years prior, there may possibly be a case for it. It's only been 2 and a half years however. This should not, and can not be allowed to stand.

Do both, and then walk in to your boss's office and give them a hug. Offer no explaination when pressed.

That is preposterous! Why they're as equivalent as Java and Javascript!

That is certainly a necessary invention for a real estate developer...otherwise how could they display information about their latest housing projects or large malls on an iPhone?!
