Anyway, has anyone actually done streaming skeletal recognition over the web yet? Seems that's the kinda thing that would be an interesting addition to Second Life or some of the other "open" virtual worlds.

Something like "Unexplainable Aerial Phenomena" would do the trick. As soon as it is adequately explained it would stop being a UAP. But unfortunately the past tense of unidentified means that once someone declares something a UFO it always will be.

Arguments like yours are why the scientific method is such a necessity.

Yes, "UFO" is a stupid term. Has been for years. To normal, sane, people it means "I saw something flying that didn't look like a plane" but to drooling morons it means "OMG! Aliens!"

They seem to just make em up as they go along.

There's open source drivers that do that too.

He apparently has *millions* of dollars now.. why not hire a team of decent C programmers and convert the game? I imagine you could get it running on mobile platforms damn fast shortly afterwards and make even more money.

Make the game for PC/Mac/Linux.. the Kinect just plugs right in.

Well duh.. and frankly I can't understand how anyone could miss that. "Oh no, he might get out!" "So what?" Shows rows and rows of soldiers who blindly follow CLU's every command.. what did you think they were going to do when they got out? Sell cupcakes?

Personally, I was hoping he'd get out and we'd have a romp in the real world and get to see the iso's power.. but no, the movie had taken too long to get to the portal.

Until right now I had no idea it was a CG Jeff Bridges.. I just figured they had decent makeup artists who could make him look the same as he did in '82.

#8: You're nitpicking in the most pedantic way possible.

In other words: he's a nerd.

Especially when people write Generic Strategy Factory pattern to create a single object.

And by Smalltalk you mean Objective-C right?

Get a room, and don't pay by the hour.. cause I hear you take a while to get started.. :P

I'm sure you already know this, but it's worth mentioning: idiotic sites, like gawker, ignore more than 8 characters. So, in your example, 6 of the 8 characters would be weak.
