Guess they're not prepared to buy the next thing the internet tells them to. For shame.

What are those arcade games with the girl pictures on them? Dating simulator games where you try to say the right thing to a static image of a real person?

Just curious on cultural arcade differences, did kids play games with sex and nudity in them or was it more like Leisure Suit Larry?

I read an article about Dr. Dre and how he used to record his music. At the time radio was the dominant way people were exposed to new music, he realized that his audience would not experience pristine reception nor studio quality "reference" speakers with extremely low distortion. There would also be plenty of background noise and an engine sounds to compete with.

To ensure his music sounded to his listeners the way he wanted it to, he would broadcast over a private short-range radio station and drive around listening to his latest work at the end of each day.

Now to me, this shows from an early date that Dr. Dre had a pragmatic and insightful understanding of the end-user experience of listening to music. How did that mold his philosophy on sound equipment and Beats headphones? And they "crafted" to intentionally distort certain kinds of music for a more enjoyable experience? Are they the physical equivalent to a "Pop Music" preset on the iTunes EQ? Or is it simply creative marketing and the cheapest speaker components he could get his hands on? No idea, I'm deaf. :-) But I do think the story is interesting and there just might be something to the sound of those headphones.

I know that I'm probably sounding like some sort of Dr. Dre fanboi, but I assure you that there is no rap music nor hip hop in my music collection. I'm pretty much permanently stuck in the 80's and early 90's since that's when I could hear more. My listening is mostly attempting to follow along while filling in the missing sounds by memory.

This site takes a subset of the "Gang of Four" patterns and explains how and why to use them in your games.

You'll especially enjoy the command pattern which will be heavily used in an RPGSgame.

Looks like it's time for an international body to "kindly" step in and make these kinds of global decisions for everyone. I'm sure several are writing up proposals as we speak.

I can't tell much about Pyongyang from the aerials, what stands out about it?

When you have a Gauls working for you... you charge whatever you want.

"They actually are just fuel"

Probably from right there. The story of a bag of Kitty Litter actually being jet fuel would be much more entertaining than this one.

Welcome to a new cat and mouse game.

With a sufficient number of people successfully using this technique the detection methods will keep getting smarter.

Sizing a person based on the distance between joints.
Solution: elbow and knee extender prosthetics. Strap it on the upper limb and add a few inches before the joint is visible through clothing.

Recognizing a person through their walking styles.
Solution: Joining the ministry of silly walks and becoming and expert at switching gaits by choice.

Heuristics based on tracking bodies and the likelihood of people doing switcheroos while off camera.
At this point you would end up being a high profile target that gets human eyes overseeing your tracking.

Infrared lights can be filtered...
Errr...
Looks like the mouse always loses this one.

Uh oh. Now you've done it. Watch a 1-digit roll over in it's grave, and post to top that.

Nonono, Mac OS X is NeXT.

YESSS!! Finally I'll be able to log into and post from the illustrious Anonymous Coward account!

But it's good business for Google to increase user reliance on searching.

The former latter.
