And yes I did catch some form of the flu. To be honest, there were a lot of keyboards, mice, and game controllers swapping hands constantly so anyone that didn't see this coming was a bit of an idiot.
Good times though. Had a lot of fun even if I am still hacking up a lung.

Agree completely.. I've been a fan for over a year and have no intention of leaving the game anytime soon. It's one of those love or hate games in terms of interface and complexity. If you love it, you love it.

Lip-Reading Surveillance Cameras 271
mrogers sends us to Infowars for the following news from the UK, "which is fast becoming the front line of the war on privacy": "'Read my lips..."' used to be a figurative saying. Now the British government is considering taking it literally by adding lip reading technology to some of the four million or so surveillance cameras in order identify terrorists and criminals by watching what everyone says. Perhaps the lip-reading cameras and the shouting cameras will find something to talk about."

The environment in New Orleans and Lake Pontchartrain after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita showed high levels of contamination as floodwaters receded from the city, and this new study provides insights into public health and human exposure to both inhaled and ingested pathogens from sewage-contaminated floodwaters induced by hurricanes.

Comment CAVEs are NOT that expensive (Score 1) 80
I interned with a group at NASA Langley which is working to use mostly off the shelf components to build a portable cave. They already have a more than working prototype, or did when I was there 2 years ago.
Unfortunatly I do not remember prices, but I know for sure this was maxing at around $30,000. I don't have time to go hunting now, but here is a good jumping point: http://develop.larc.nasa.gov/projects/
Just google for nasa develop and cave
Journal Journal: Online Employee Training
I have decided that self-paced online courses for your employees are dumb. Unless it is something they are:
1. Interested in: there is no way to force yourself to sit down and do this kind of thing
2. Monitored, unless I know I am going to get in trouble for not doing anything, then I will simply surf /. etc
