I figure this deserves a post, though likely none of us will play it. As far as I can tell, it sounds like it's trying to be another FFXI: great execution, no particularly good ideas. That pretty much sums up how I feel as well. After having played several MMORPGS (EQ, AO, DAoC, FFXI), each for at ...

I bought that book for my boss for Christmas, haven't read it myself though. Still trying to find time to finish the Cryptonomicon (which I highly recommend btw). My boss is really into DaVinci though, so I thought he'd like the book. Might have to pick it up myself one of these days.

Anyone playing the Lineage 2 open beta? I'm playing on the japanese one. Game looks pretty cool so far. If anyone wants to group up sometime, I'm on server #7. names are Zekmyr and Zekra so far.

Ugh, this demo is a lot of fun, but it gives me a headache everytime I play. Not sure if it's all the l33t d00ds, or just me stressing out cause everytime we build a damn node, the other team destroys another one. argh!

I'd have to dig around. A lot of the device architecture work is unpublished because it's not patented yet. I probably have some general stuff I could send you from work tomorrow. PM me your email when you get a chance and I'll send you what I can find.

I don't remember the specific quote, but roughly what the intel exec said about technology from labs is that it'll be about 7 years at least from when they have a fully functional prototype until it is commercialized. Unless a lab gets extremely lucky in the next year or two, molecular computers ar...

Hehe.. of course I realize you don't speak for Intel, I was just curious on a personal level what you've heard and thought. Something you said sounds strange to me though, am I right to assume that you think quantum computing will be commercialized before molecular electronics? Because in the academ...

It's interesting to hear some of the more industry-related side of this stuff. The professor I work for is director of the California NanoSystems Institute, so we hear a lot of stuff about developments in nanolithography and research into making smaller wires and stuff. I think I see a seminar with ...

Well I haven't found much in the way of useful LPD config files, but I did find a lpd.crash.log file with an large number of crashes reported, especially in the past week. Here is an example: ********** Date/Time: 2004-01-28 12:41:03 -0800 OS Version: 10.2.8 (Build 6R73) Host: Diamond Command: lpd P...

Hmm... ok, so I checked into some of the things you suggested, but bear with me here because I'm kinda of a n00b when it comes to UNIX stuff. So it does use CUPS to print and I found the directories and error logs you were referring too. Unfortunately I wasn't really able to get any useful informati...

Architect's Leap... ahh.. that brings back memories. I think I remember seeing a variety of smashed computer pieces at the bottom actually... As for your suggestions, it's very possible that could be the problem, but I don't have the first clue how to check it or fix it. The Mac OS X server runs off...

Dunno who else to ask about this, so why not here! So I kinda run the network for my research group in Grad school, sadly we use Macs, but I don't pay for them, so not much i can do... Anyway, we have a G4 running Mac OS X server, with 6 E-mac clients scattered throughout the lab. The clients are al...

Nevermind... =P

Do you guys want to plan Mission 9 for sunday? I can't play tonight or most of saturday because of this stupid international symposium we're having on campus. Anyway, I still need to do mission 8, which i can probably do late saturday night if 1 or 2 people will help. So how many people are ready fo...

Of course it should be said that not all Japs are good either. I was in a group of really horrible Japs once that got me killed twice... so just because you can't understand what they're saying, don't assume they know what they're doing. =P

I think a /bonk is in order here...

I only have 3 hours to play and I can't get online! argh!!

Zekmyr

Sounds interesting, i'll tag along if i'm online. What's the point anyway?

Dunno where else to post this, so let's clutter up this thread a bit more! I'm seriously considering switching my main job to Dark Knight instead of Black Mage. I'm a little conflicted about this though, for one thing I'll be the crappiest race for a dark knight (and I have no intentions of starting...

My playtime this week and weekend and getting screwed by work and girlfriend stuff. I'll be on a little bit tonight and tomorrow night, maybe late Thursday and a couple hours early friday evening, but that's about it until Sunday. Huh, after listing that, it's kinda sad to think I consider that "a l...
