Ravensburger is a German company, so any English word is considered to be sufficiently exotic to be trademarked.

Remember that when the USA pushes next time for harmonization and enforcement of trademark laws in other countries.

Well, that is what happened in Fukushima Daichi 1.

All reactors switched off in reaction to the Earthquake.

Then the tsunami took the diesels out.

If they had a reactor that was up, and that was rigged to supply energy to the others, no meltdowns would have happened.

So, reading the article, a simulation lattice imposes a limit on the amount of energy that can be simulated.

Now some physicists wonder whether there is such a limit.

Well, look no more, we already know the limit because there are black holes, which effectively are a set of nodes in the lattice that are overworked and slow down time near themselves.

The only question is whether it applies to all kinds of energy, but since it applies to light, I guess the answer is yes.

There are many applications and games written in C/C++ that I love.

I also occasionally code in C - sometimes it is fun to use pointers and read/write files without chaining two or three objects.

There are however huge drawbacks to using C/C++.
There is surely a full list somewhere, but for me currently the not-buying-point is the preprocessor.

The preprocessor allows conditional compilation of any file. Sometimes the file might do that, sometimes something different.

This means that it isn't practical to have pre-compiled modules (although I guess you could go the route of splitting your project into dozens of libraries).
Thus, a very small file can require Gigabytes of memory to compile, because all the dependencies have to be pulled in, and represented in memory.

C is cool for learning how things work, but not good for making things work.

I found some bugs documenting my own code lately, but I think that only works if you write the documentation a month or so after you wrote the code.

If they had a 3D chat client and game in 1995, which contains portions of the patent (which was filed in 1999),
they essentially made their own prior art.

IANAL either, but AFAIK you had 1 year in the US during which you could file a patent after its technology went public, and in Europe you had to file the patent before you made you technology public.

There is some logic about reasoning about low-probability events here:

cool if you know the hotkeys, useless otherwise

No, if you move the horse, black can win.

However, to make it fair, black shouldn't move the horsie either ..

Then I discovered it was mostly firebug with the network log turned on that ate the memory with every ajax request made by setInterval.

Here's something about the developer:

Oh well, forget it ..

Well, because of that.

Don't think it will get any better with video ..
