I agree it's sick and twisted. Yet, I wonder how many of these guys were interested just because she responded. Most girls I've chatted with don't respond, that could be what's making her special, not her age.

Haven't games been using NASA data for a while? Maybe not to the extent of this game, but I played one a while back that looked like it used quite a bit of NASA data; http://rumorgames.com/press-release-voyager-grand-tour/

Mostly shows how being good at finding bugs is a different skill than being good at job interviews.

It looks like he made one of the more basic pieces of software shown by Bret in this video from a year ago: http://vimeo.com/36579366 Check out his more advanced content creation demo @29:10 in this video.

Hey now, WoW was good until EA bought Blizzard. After that things took a bit of a downturn.

Microsoft Visual Studio has a fairly well agreed upon way of doing this automatically with StyleCop, http://stylecop.codeplex.com/

It's good to see this happens to people other than Indie developers. Working with Microsoft to figure out how the promotion of Apps in the app store works is not easy. Microsoft makes the process difficult. I waited up to full month for an exclusive Windows Phone game I made, BouncyLasers, to go from submitted to approved on the market. I tried to join multiple Microsoft sponsored marketing campaigns with no feedback other than "your app has been submitted to the campaign". Sure my app isn't too impressive as I'm the single dev, but some more help from Microsoft on how their featuring in the Market process works or what to expect from submitting to one of their campaigns is badly needed.

I wanted to add a forum to my site. My requirements were a bit different than yours:
- I didn't care much about the look and feel integration.
- My focus was free and low maintenance.
- I don't have user account registering on my website, which lead to spam on the forums I tried,

I ended up with the website linking directly to a Facebook page I made for it. It looks a bit like a hack job, but one that has been working really well for me.

I completely agree with "The devil is in the plethora of browser-specific quirks", yet companies are moving away from the web based solution to this, which in my mind is plug-ins: Java applets, Flash, & Silverlight. You may have yourself cornered in the future if you stick to the (better) methods of the plug-in/write-once-run-anywhere based past.

The video from the companies website, http://pal-v.com/, states that many attempts have been made to make flying cars. Looks like a lot of those attempts fly just fine. Guess they don't have access to wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_car_(aircraft) Terrafugia is one of the more modern flying car contenders: http://news.ninemsn.com.au/technology/8445752/flying-car-cleared-for-takeoff

I went to Metrix just last weekend for the first time. They were the only place I could find in the Seattle area to use a 3D printer. The staff knowledgeable and interested in wanting to make my project work and making sure I knew what it'd cost ahead of time. They frequented my printer job often as it was printing. They also have a ton of interesting projects around to check out and use for examples as they tend to share a similarity for what you want to create. The only downside is parking/bus routes.

So Iran is moving towards a DarkNet called Tor. I wonder if ACTA, SOPA, or PIPA would cause a similar reaction in the countries they're enforced upon.

Fairly sure this is the item Dave was waiting on: http://www.amazon.com/Playstation-3-Avenger-Controller/dp/B005CMZJL6/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325024685&sr=8-1-fkmr1

They also have an xbox version: http://www.amazon.com/Avenger-Xbox-360-Adapter/dp/B0051JSJ44/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325024502&sr=8-1

This is going to lead to a huge influx of level 20 twinks in the game.

Doing twink Battlegrounds will no longer be a 10+ hour queue.
