Silicon valley is widely recognized as ground zero of the information technology (IT) boom. Centered around the San Francisco Bay area, the region boasts a pantheon of innovative technology companies, including such industry leaders as Intel, Sun Microsystems and Cisco Systems. On the East Coast, however, the technology boom has created a new constellation of thriving IT enterprises. And while Silicon Valley may still be the center of the IT universe, the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area, which includes neighboring counties in northern Virginia and Maryland (known as the D.C. Metroplex), has developed a gravitational pull that at least one former denizen of the Valley found irresistible.
"Northern Virginia reminds me of a young Silicon Valley because it has a good resource base of think tanks and support programs for IT entrepreneurs," says Myra Peterson, president of Omniverse Digital Solutions, which creates and distributes multimedia content via video, CD-ROM and the Internet. Peterson spent more than a decade in various corporate and entrepreneurial positions in Silicon Valley before heading east to start her latest venture. "This is where innovation is happening. There are large and small computer hardware, software and Internet companies all mixed together and fostering creativity."
With the past decade's IT explosion, it's not surprising that IT firms account for just over 13% of be industrial/service 100s companies. But these companies have more in common than their chosen industry. About 77% of the more than 13 IT firms on our list are located in the D.C. Metroplex. A concerted effort on the behalf of federal, state and local governments, universities, venture capital firms and support organizations has transformed our nation's political center into one of the country's foremost IT hubs.
A recent study by the Potomac Knowledge Way, a Herndon, Virginia-based nonprofit technology consortium, reports that the D.C. Metroplex supports approximately 330,000 IT employees and generates $90 billion in sales by companies headquartered in the area. For people not familiar with the area, it may come as a surprise that one in every seven employees works in IT. Only the federal government has a greater "mindshare."
"This region is second only to Silicon Valley in the number and scope of IT companies," says Weldon Latham, a senior partner at the D.C.-based law firm of Shaw, Pittman, Potts & Trowbridge. Latham represents several be 100s IT firms in the area. "The federal government has been the catalyst for the area's growth because of its enormous need for IT services," he says. It's estimated that the government spends $30 billion per year on IT, making it the industry's favorite uncle.
The Clinton administration has been very proactive in enforcing minority subcontracting guidelines, says Latham, who serves as general counsel of the National Coalition of Minority Businesses (NCMB). The D.C.-based organization focuses primarily on preserving opportunities for minority-owned companies — such as federal set-asides and the Small Business Administration's 8(a) program, which have recently come under fire — to do business with the federal government.

You know how I say on here that a lot of the times my cards are internal pep talks to myself... if you combine these two cards together you'll totally get a vision of my road trip last week! I went on an adventure by myself (amazing to get to this stage in my life before I can say I went camping in a national park on my own).. While we do own an Airstream (it's an office at the campground), but for the trip I took our van, which was great! And after I collected the kids from their spring break adventures, the three of us camped out and it was perfect. The card above is for this week's PTI Make It Monday, Patterns behind die cut windows, most of the goodies on this card are from PTI (the trailer is from Hero Arts and the scallop die is from MFT, but otherwise everything else is PTI, paper included. And my second project for this fine Monday morning is playing along with the Coffee Lovers sip and share sketch with the Cat's Pajamas sentiment I won from the last hop.

My girls love Dr Seuss books. Although the author is best known for Green Eggs and Ham and The Cat in the Hat, my girl's favorite book is The Foot Book. It was one of the first books Morgan could "read".
I put the word read in quotes above because she memorized it and then recited it back to me. Regardless of that detail, that book helped boost her confidence. She thought she was reading, saw how proud I was and wanted to read more. She is only four so it definitely is still a work in progress.
This past weekend we attended a birthday party for Dr Seuss and all the kids were given yellow mustaches, just like the one the Lorax had in the book The Lorax. The girls loved the mustaches and enjoy reading while wearing them – I found this quite amusing.
On a simlar note, I wanted to mention that my favorite books growing up were the Berenstain Bears. Ms Jan Berenstain passed away on Monday. Lauren wrote a brief eulogy – you can read here. I offer my condolences to their son, Mike and the rest of the Berenstain family. Your values will live on in so many lives.
In closing, I encourage each one of you to read a book – or several books – to your kids today in honor of Dr Seuss' birthday and in memory of Ms Jan Berenstain.
What are your kids favorite books? What was your favorite childhood book or series?

Peak demand is starting to get more attention as the real issue. It is the proverbial nail in the coffin for the doomsday scenarios wrought by peak oil. Interestingly, the oil industry and doomers find common ground in their opposition to peak oil demand.
The ageing of the global population (shrinking labour force), economic growth shifting to services and away from industrialisation and the improvements in energy efficiency should see demand for energy peak sooner than expected.
And that assumes that current trends merely continue i.e. without much state intervention and no significant tech breakthrough. Tech developments will benefit from the gradual cessation of FF subsidies and increased investment in renewable energy.
And I don't believe that investment will remain coupled to oil price movements post-COP 21.
harrisonlw wrote:Jesus. I really wanted this thread to be meaningful but some people just cannot help themselves.
Pstarr, your views are respected by approximately three people on this forum. You disregard technical, scientific and academic evidence because it doesn't support your preconceived views. The call for humility is an interesting one too, considering that you asserted that I know 'squat' about these things in the same post. The hypocrisy is astounding.
But let's say I am wrong. As someone who presumably knows more about these things, could you please inform me where I went wrong in my assessment of changing demographics, economic substitution, energy efficiency and climate change negotiations? This is a forum after all. I am happy to be proven wrong.
harrisonlw wrote:Wasn't a statement, hence the question mark. My view is that the fast crash and the slow crash are unlikely to come to pass, and that we will transition relatively smoothly to renewables (with a slightly different economic system eventually, one that doesn't rely on perpetual growth in consumption).
Fair point though. I just wanted it to be the forum-equivalent of clickbait and to really engage everyone.
harrisonlw wrote:I should've been more specific. I meant pstarr's views on peak oil and its application to contemporary oil production, not its offshoots, whatever that means. Which is precisely why I've asked him to correct me on my views. Instead of being ultra-sensitive to opposing views and disregarding technical, scientific and academic evidence, pstarr could bring to bear his acumen and change my mind. My standing is irrelevant to me, though I will say that standing is decidedly subjective. I'm interested in facts and predictions made using evidence, something lacking in this forum.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by solid scholarly defence. If you'd like me to author a systematic review of the academic literature on renewable energy, you'll be disappointed. I read papers in peer-reviewed academic journals and articles written by academics and industry experts. I endeavour to contribute these things in the relevant threads.
So, onlooker, and I do mean this sincerely mate, what did I miss in regards to being in the throes of peak oil? Are you referring to the ETP model and its prediction of a lowering oil price? I don't know much about it but it looks to be discussed a fair bit and seems relevant to this thread so fire away.
Resource and energy use have to continue rising in these countries for the global economy to reach full industrialization. For that to happen, up to four more planets will be needed.

Spring 2006
Panel Series on Immigration Reform Well Received by Media, Immigration Advocates
In Dec. 2005, the U.S. House of Representatives passed HR 4437, The Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005. Key elements of the legislation include constructing a wall between the U.S. and Mexico, classifying illegal immigrants as criminals and thus allowing local authorities to pursue them, and severely restricting the humanitarian aid illegal immigrants receive. The controversial bill has sparked debate among policymakers, immigration advocates, the business community, labor organizations, and academics.
In January and February 2006, the Section sponsored a four-part panel series on immigration reform at the National Press Club. The series, "Fortress America: The State and Future of U.S. Immigration Law and Policy," was initiated by the Committee on the Rights of Immigrants, along with the ABA Commission on Immigration, and was exceptionally well received by both the non-profit community and various media outlets.
Drawing experts from a broad range of professional and political backgrounds, the first panel examined current and proposed legislation aimed at comprehensive immigration reform. Panelists included Angelo Amador, U.S. Chamber of Commerce; J. Kevin Appleby , United States Conference on Catholic Bishops; Eliseo Medina, Service Employees International Union; Cecilia Munoz , National Council of La Raza; Grover Norquist , Americans for Tax Reform; and executive director, Anthony Romero,American Civil Liberties Union. Christina DeConcini of the National Immigration Forum served as moderator of the program.
Panelists discussed at length the Border Protection, Antiterrorism, Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005 (HR 4437). Cecilia Munoz called the legislation an enforcement-only approach. She noted that although this is the same approach used by the U.S. for the past fifteen years, its ineffectiveness is evident by the pace of undocumented migrants, which has held steady at about 300,000 to 400,000 a year.
Panelists agreed that provisions making it illegal for humanitarians to give aid to undocumented workers is also a problem and could be disastrous. Kevin Appleby articulated the impact it could have on religious organizations, such as churches that offer food or housing. Anthony Romero cautioned that if the provision is interpreted broadly, it could also prohibit the ability of lawyers to provide assistance to undocumented workers. Provisions that allow local law enforcement to pursue illegal immigrants also was of concern to the panelists. Grover Norquist said he was concerned that these provisions might create a slippery slope with regard to the nationalization of local police, worrying that it would first start to jeopardize civil rights and liberties.
The second panel, held on Jan. 26, focused on asylum and refugee issues and included panelists B o Cooper, Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker, LLP; Mark Hetfield, United States Commission on International Religious Freedom; Cheryl Little, Florida Immigrant Advocacy; Jonathan Nelson, The Christian Legal Society; Rachel B. Tiven, Immigration Equality; Wendy Young, the Commission on Refugee Women and Children; and Stephen Yale-Loehr, True, Walsh & Miller, LLP. Moderating the panel was Eleanor Acer of Human Rights First.
Panelists reviewed the current asylum system and made recommendations as to how it could be improved. Mark Hetfield pointed to a study conducted by the bi-partisan U.S. Commission on International and Religious Freedom, that examined asylum seekers and expedited removal proceedings. It found that while the Department of Homeland Security trains its officers in the requirements and correct procedures to protect asylum seekers and refugees, it does not verify that procedures are being followed. Rachel B. Tiven highlighted the problems lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender immigrants face when they try to claim refuge in the United States. She said these immigrants are often too afraid to tell an official why they are seeking asylum. Stephen Yale-Loeher pointed to the lack of resources for Board of Immigration Appeals members, noting that the Justice Department has cut the number of BIA members at a time when the Board is attempting to reduce a backlog of appeals.
A third panel, held on Feb. 3, was moderated by Andrea Black of Detention Watch Network and focused on detention and removal proceedings. Deanna Burdine, a whistleblower and former employee of the Department of Homeland Security, and Malik Ndula, once a former detainee himself and now working at Keeping Hope Alive, spoke of the prison-like detention facilities and the need for oversight by the government. Both emphasized that contributing to the lack of oversight is the increase in privately run detention facilities, and the financial incentives for these companies to detain immigrants.
Judy Rabinovitz of the Immigrants' Rights Project cited a study she conducted in the early 1990's which found that the lack of a right to counsel in detention, the often remote locations of detention centers, and detention center conditions make it very difficult for immigrants to pursue their cases. She observed that none of these problems have improved since her report was released, but the population of detained immigrants has grown from five or six thousand to over 20,000. She, along with other panelists, supported alternatives to detention, such as the National Institute of Justice's four-year program of simple contract and notification of hearings, which had 91 percent of people return for their hearings.
Other panelists of the third program included, Judy Greene, Justice Strategies; Joanne Kelsey, the Women's Commission for Refugee Women and Children; Chris Nugent, Holland & Knight; Aarti Shahani, Families for Freedom; and Nina Siulc, Vera Institute of Justice.
At the fourth and final panel on Feb. 23, ABA President, Michael Greco, addressed the audience regarding the recent immigration policies adopted by the ABA at the 2006 Midyear Meeting. The panel focused on the "brain drain" occurring as a result of restrictive immigration policies. Ben Johnson of the Immigration Policy Center and a Commissioner with the ABA Commission on Immigration served as moderator. Panelists included Bill Wul f, National Academy of Engineering; Debra Stewart, Council of Graduate Schools; Daryl Buffenstein, Past President, American Immigration Lawyers Association; and Roger Bowen, American Association of University Professors.
There was agreement among the panelists that in order to ensure the economic security of the U.S., we must be able to attract and retain the brightest minds from around the world. Debra Stewart noted that as it stands now, graduate students applying for visas in the United States must demonstrate the strong intent to return to their home country after completion of their degree. She supports legislation currently in the Senate, the Pace Act, which would allow doctoral students in the stem fields to remain in the United States after graduation as long as they are working in their field. Daryl Buffenstein remarked that the business sector is also feeling the "brain drain" as there are a limited number visas available for foreign-born workers and the process to obtain one can take years. He maintained that this problem is causing many businesses to move highly-skilled jobs to other countries where talent is available.
The panel series was well attended and included coverage by many media outlets including, C-SPAN 2, CNN, CNN En Espanol, Aztec America TV, Television Mexico, Air America, Voice of America, National Public Radio, McClatchey Newspapers, Los Angeles Times, Government Executive Magazine Associated Press, Newsweek, Reuters, Media General, The Wall Street Journal, and the Financial Times.

SummaryThe Zelda Game You Knew Was Coming, But Only After A Long Wait
The GoodWhy So Serious?
Released in 1998, and almost too late to the N64 party, Zelda 64, was the 3D Zelda adventure we all knew was coming. What we did not know was it would take half a decade before it would be released. Due to many false starts and silly ideas.(Remember the ill fated N64 Disk Drive?-MM-)
I would like to make special mention of my take on Zelda. Some Moby Gamers seem to be under the impression that I dislike the Zelda series, this simply is not true. While I am far from a hardcore fan of the series, there are several games in the series that I actually enjoyed. Such as: Zelda II,( A cruelly underrated adventure.-MM-) and Zelda: Link's Awakening, among others.
Some overzealous Zelda fans and Nintendophiles, have even accused me of being a "hater" of the series. One such case occurred here on Moby. Some deluded fan boy, actually had the testicular fortitude, to send me a private message, declaring that I was a stupid head, or some such silly thing, for just expressing my honest opinion, about a particular Zelda game.
How did I respond you ask? Well, as any borderline psychotic might, I laughed at the poorly written and conceived attempt, to change my mind on the matter. And then I sent the dingus, a harshly worded response. And no, I never heard back from the belligerent fan boy.
Now I know what you are thinking. What in the nine bloody hells does any of this have to do with my review? Well, the short answer is, that without calling attention to the fan boy, I hereby dedicate this review to you. In the words of Pink Floyd: "Shine on you crazy diamond."
And I was going for the longest intro to a review in Moby history record.(Did I win, if so what did I win? Cash?-MM-) Or does Jazz Oleg, Lasttoblame, or Classic Nigel, still hold the honor? Without further ado, here is my review for Zelda 64: The Ocarina Of Time.
Of Elves And Swords….
Zelda 64, begins like many fantasy yarns, with the advent of the hero. We find Link, a pint sized elf lad, living in the forests of the Kokiri. Link as it turns out is the joke of the nationhood, yet he cares not for he is feeling good. And one particular morning he makes a new friend. A little pixie, Navi who is not unlike, Landstalker's Friday.(Only unlike Friday, she is very annoying.-MM-)
She tells Link, of what he must do. His first task is to help the magic tree, of his village.(All fantasy worlds have talking trees, don't you know?-MM-) And then for the first time in his young life leave behind the only home his has every known.
For here his quest gets more and more complex. And without giving too much away, I will say that out of all the Zelda games that I have played this one has one of the better stories. And it is the little things that make it worth you time. Link is an outcast in his own home. Yet once he leaves his home he will make new friends, and he is the only one that can save Hyrule. This is also by far one of the most realized Zelda incarnations. And he will find that some things are worth fighting for. Or perhaps he just wants to bang Zelda?
What is a great story with out gameplay? The answer is most likely not a videogame. I can say however that the gameplay in Zelda 64 is actually well done. And fun to play. The huge difference is that the game is now 3D not 2D. But that makes more if a difference than you might think.
The dungeons, combat, and just about everything else have been overhauled for the new engine, For the most part it works for the better. With a few exceptions. More on that later, now I would like to talk about the ways that it works better.
The dungeons are much larger and involving than they were in the 2D days. And as it turns out this is both a good and a bad thing. The good includes that it makes the dungeons more difficult. But not unfairly so. Not that all 2D games had easy dungeons, any one who has played, Phantasy Star II, Zelda II, or The Immortal, can attest to that. But they are more complex and often fun in Zelda 64.
The bigger dungeons also mean bigger boss fights. In cool retro fashion some of the classic bosses make an appearance here.(In many ways this game is a retelling of the original.-MM-) Fighting the dragon, and Gannon, in particular is pretty damn sweet.
Speaking of the combat. I think that you will find that the combat system is Zelda 64, is far better and more refined and quite frankly more fun. You can slash, hack, and thrust your way to victory. And now you can even lock-on to a target. And this is very effective. Unlike some games. Link, can also perform special moves, downward slashes, and leaping stabs among others. Great stuff.
And Link, has other weapons at his disposal. As a child, he can use a sling-shot. And as an adult he can use a long-bow. And did I mention he can shoot some punk ass monsters while on horse back? And did I mention that Link can now ride a horse? I pretty sure I did, yes definitely.
"In the country side I wander far and wide…."
The exploration is also improved because, of the new engine. I actually had more fun traveling and exploring Hyrule in 3D than I ever did in 2D. This is due to a few things. First off, in the old Zelda games of the 2D persuasion, if you saw a heart container, some where in the world it was fairly easy to figure out who to obtain it. In Zelda 64, due largely to the use of a 3D engine, it can be much more challenging, to obtain the hidden life-ups. And I enjoy a good stiff challenge.
In addition, to exploring of foot. Link, can now ride a horse. This not only makes travel faster, but it also allows you to deliver death from the saddle, via your long bow. Unfortunately, you cannot use you sword from the saddle. The horse, also allows you to partake in a racing mini game. If you are into that kind of thing.
As per Zelda tradition, there are tons on mini games, and side quests to undertake. And a great deal of secrets to uncover. Overall, they are a nice diversion, from the main quest.
Hyrule is big….that is for a game from 1998. On a console. Compared to Fallout 3, Oblivion, and even Gothic II, it is pretty damn small. So keep this in mind. That means you nintendophiles.
The graphics are good, for the time and for the N64. As at the time it had the most raw power of any console…until the Dreamcast anyhow. There is very little pop-up. Which plagued PSX and Saturn games, and the game looks pretty crisp and colorful. But not to colorful, like some other Zelda games.
For MIDI music, a device first devised in the 1980's the score in Zelda is decent, that is to say it gets the job done, but is a far cry from one of personal favorites. But I am sure that others will disagree, and that's all well and good. The sound effects on the other hand, well you will have to see the "bad" section for that.
I would also like to make a mention of the controls in Zelda 64. As they are very well designed. And work almost perfectly. The only downside would be that you would have to play this on an N64, on an emulator, it plays like crap, unless you hook your N64 controller to your PC, which can be done. But that is neither here nor there. Hell, the controls are so well plotted that a similar control scheme was used in Shenmue 1 and 2.(You know the boss, but criminally underrated Dreamcast games?-MM-) And it was also effective in those aforementioned games.
The BadAccusations And Ruminations….
Even as I write this, I realize, full well, that some Nintendo fans, will curse me and burn effigies dedicated to me. But I will speak my peace anyhow. I think that Link, is one of the lamest heroes ever. There I said it. And I know what the opposition will argue, 'He is supposed to be the pure eternal hero.' But to that I say that is why he fails, he is too boring. He lacks the complexity of Landstalker's hero Nigel. Or the dark decadence of Kain, from the Blood Omen, games. And those are just two better protagonists from other action RPGS, let alone films or books.
He also has zero personality. I also realize full well, that this is intentional, but it still is stupid. In Gothic you ARE the nameless hero, but at least he actually has a personality, he is not just an automaton.
The sound effects are to but it mildly annoying as hell. From the cacophony, of Navi's, "Hey lissssten!". To the once and former annoyance of the sirens warning that your health is low, like I can't bloody see that. And how could I forget Link's piercing cries of HUH! WAAH!, etc. It is like listing to nails being dragged across, a blackboard.
I am having trouble putting into words how annoying Navi is. And it is so unnecessary. I understand that Nintendo, wanted to help the gamer, remember what they were supposed to be doing, but why does she have to wail like a bloody banshee, every 30 seconds? When all they had to do was to take a page from Phantasy Star IV, and let the gamer "talk" to Navi via the in game menu.
Hyrule's sheer size is also a huge disadvantage. In some ways. For starters Hyrule seems dead. There is hardly a soul around anywhere. Except monsters and Link. And some of the monsters have a silly designs, not unlike the B-Film, "The Creeping Terror". At least getting lost is almost impossible.
This game is so long, that there is little chance of second play. At least for me. Especially since I did all the extra stuff the first time. It may also be to easy for some people tastes.
Some complain, that Zelda 64, is childish. And while I can see there point, I have to disagree. It has some adult theme's they are just often obscured, by silly situations. In many ways this is one of the most mature Zelda games.(Aside from Zelda II.-MM-) And many Zelda fanatics, themselves tend to misunderstand there own favorite game series, I won't into why here as it pertains to a spoiler. I can tell you that some reviews for this game I have read and even a few on Moby, clearly do not understand some of the plot devices. Perhaps there own perceptions and or biases have colored there perceptions?
The Bottom LineThis may be the silliest review I have every written, shall I end it?
When all is said and done, Zelda 64 is a fun game. But not without it's flaws. I would recommend it to others. If they can put there predeterminations aside. And yes this applies to both camps. Those that love Zelda and Nintendo, and those that wrongly accuse it of being childish.

You have to hand it to James Cameron. Well, actually – you don't. But assuming you want to, James Cameron deserves to be recognised for his ambition. He may not get it right all the time, but like his films or not, the man knows how to pick grand targets. Raise the Titanic, explore the bottom of the ocean – and now, replicate life on a photorealistic fictional planet in the far-flung future. Oh, and it's the first console game to be presented in stereoscopic 3D – another hurdle overcome.
And yet, for all the hype surrounding Avatar: The Game, it's a wholly generic experience that suffers greatly from a lack of variety and quality game design. Of course, if you enjoy games that send you on endless fetch-quests, running and driving from point to point to point, then be our guest.
The premise of the game segues somewhere in the setting of the film, never actually adhering to the film's story but playing with the environments of Pandora and its indigenous flora and fauna. Neither Sam Worthington nor Zoe Saldana, Avatar's lead actors, appear in or lend their voices to the game – though Sigourney Weaver has about 20 seconds of dialogue early in. She discusses the The Na'vi, Pandora's gigantic blue humanoid inhabitants, who form your opposition for most of the game – though, towards the end, you choose to side with one race or the other – and your decision radically alters the game's endplay.
'Choose-a-jarhead' mode (not the real name, obviously, but apt) opens the game, allowing you to choose your muscular military man and or woman, and giving you a glimpse of what their Avatar counterpart looks like. We opted for the Taxi Driver-era De Niro lookalike.
From here, the story-proper begins. Avatar straddles well-worn ideas of mankind's disdain for ecology and the implications of this. Pandora has been, for several years now, under human occupation, led by the 'RDA' (Resources Development Administration) Corporation – a mineral mining and military force that are plundering Pandora's natural resources. Of course, the Na'vi aren't going to take this lying down, and the resulting struggle is where you find yourself caught in the middle.
Gameplay, of course, is where Avatar: The Game distances itself from the film. Playing very much like just about every third-person shooter released in the last few years, Avatar is all about the combat. ...Well, that and running from waypoint to waypoint to collect stuff.
The viewpoint is over-the-shoulder; the camera controls are mapped to the right thumbstick by default and a very handy quick-turn function is included – and believe us, you'll need to master this. Jumping and quick-rolling aside, the emphasis is strictly on combat. There are no real puzzles to solve save for those that can be settled with a hot injection of lead.
Of course, the quality of the gunplay is critical in a game like this, and unfortunately Avatar rapidly dissolves into a repetitive blend of shooting gallery AI, constantly respawning when you re-enter an area, and obstacle course theatrics, thanks to the constant threat of vicious plants. You are constantly under threat from something, never giving you pause to really enjoy the view from a particularly neat ledge or even to appreciate the intensity of the action.
Indeed, the pace is constant – the alien landscape is not particularly impressed with your presence and you'll spend most of your on-foot travels fending off half a dozen different types of Viper Wolves (vicious, pack-hunting wolves that move at a heck of a clip), carnivorous plants that spit acid and slap at you with leaves like the blades of a food processor.
Of course, the Na'vi also populate the winding forest paths, valleys and snaking rivers of Pandora; you'd be forgiven for thinking they're actually secondary in difficulty to the rest of Pandora's critters, though. Armed only with staves or bows, they put up little resistance to your weapons – and this is really underlined when you hop into one of the all-terrain vehicles equipped with devastating missiles or the bi-pedal mechs that chew through munitions like a fat man though a steak sandwich.
The backbone of the experience is built around an experience points (EXP.) system. With EXP, you 'grow' your soldier character, constantly earning better and better armour and weapons. We found the balance of some of these weapons to be way off, making the flamethrower all but useless and the machine gun the weapon of choice for most encounters.
Complimenting the armed combat elements are the far-flung-futuristic soldier skills that make you an unstoppable force on the battlefield. In an almost knowing nod to the constant nature of the combat outside of your safe-zone military bases, the invisibility skills allows you to stealthily work your way past enemies, affording you just enough of a break to keep you sane. Beyond this particularly handy inclusion, a standard ability to heal yourself will become second nature, while you can also activate short-term damage reduction and ramp up the damage you deal, as well as rapid movement and you can even call in a somewhat unwieldy tactical strike on your enemies.

"FRAMINGHAM, Mass., March 6, 2017 The worldwide hardcopy peripherals (HCP) market increased 0.6% year over year to 26.6 million units in the fourth quarter of 2016 (4Q16), according to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Hardcopy Peripherals Tracker. The growth was driven by a solid performance in the inkjet and laser markets, which grew 0.6% and 1.6% year over year, respectively. Shipment value also increased to more than $14 billion in the quarter.
Each of the top 3 vendors saw year-over-year shipment growth in 4Q16, with HP Inc. leading the chart at 4.3%, followed by Canon at 1.4% and Epson's 1.1%. showed a 4.7% increase YoY. Fourth-ranked Brother and fifth-ranked Samsung posted year-over-year declines, with Samsung declining 25.2%.
Notable highlights from this quarter include:
- Six of IDC's regional markets witnessed year-over-year increases in unit shipments; Asia Pacific (excluding Japan)(APeJ) posted 4.2% growth, the best year-over-year performance, with China continuing to be the key growth propeller. Inkjet growth in China was fueled by continuous upsurge for ink tank printers within the small and medium business (SMB) segment, while laser growth was powered by channel expansion by the key vendors.
- HP outperformed all other vendors in the top 5 with more than 10 million units, increasing 4.3% year over year. The vendor enjoyed year-over-year expansion in both the inkjet and laser segments, which was driven by channel expansion and continued demand for its top selling inkjet and laser models.
- Epson continued to ride on the popularity of the L series (Ink tank) in APeJ and introduced four new L series models to help with its dominance in the Ink tank segment. The L series now accounts for more than 80% of the total inkjet shipment for Epson and L360 continued to be the top model this quarter with close to 302,500 units shipped." . . .

Using samples from those commercials over a driving beat, Electronica artist Confusium captures the frenzy of the early days of the videogame industry. Atari or Intellivision? A or B?
Intellivision Themes (played on the Intellivision console)
Early Intellivision programmers had little room to include more than a few notes in their gamesmaybe a short victory tunebut as cartridge memory grew larger, more space was available for music. A number of programmers with musical backgrounds were eager to see what the Intellivision could really do. Tracks 2 through 8 hold the answer.
2. Snafu > Russ Lieblich
Snafu, designed and programmed by Mike Minkoff, began life as a handheld game, so the game code was extremely small. Even in the 4K Intellivision cartridge, there was room left over for music. Russ wrote two melodies that alternated during gameplay, creating what many consider to be the first true home videogame theme music.
3. Shark! Shark! > Andy Sells
When asked to provide an end theme for Ji Wen Tsaos Shark! Shark!, Andy's original idea was to use the music from Bobby Darins swinging version of Mack the Knife ("Oh the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear, / and he shows them pearly white
"). But upon finding that publishing rights to the song were held by Warner Bros., owner of Atari, Mattel decided not to attempt negotiating a license. Instead, Andy created this original piece.
4. Buzz Bombers > Bill Goodrich
5. Mind Strike > David Warhol
Mind Strike started as a regular Intellivision game, but was ultimately released for the Entertainment Computer System (ECS) module. Even though the ECS, which contained a second sound chip, allowed six notes to be played at once, Dave kept the original three-note arrangement for the theme.
6. The Jetsons Ways with Words > Joshua Jeffe
Since this game required the Entertainment Computer System module, Josh was able to arrange the theme using up to six notes at one time.
7. Melody Blaster (Blasters Blues) > Hal Cannon
One of the features of Melody Blaster was capturing a song as it was played on the keyboard and then playing it back. Hal used this feature to enter all of the music for the game live, rather than programming it in note by note.
8. Thin Ice (Carnival of the Penguins) > David Warhol
George wrote "Carnival of the Penguins," which he offered to Mattel for $100. Mattel had a policy of not using freelancers, so the offer was refused. Despite this, Dave Warhol went ahead and programmed the melody into the game. Everyone loved the results, so an exception was made. George got paid, launching a music career which continues to this day.
9. Billiards Blues > Jimmy Martin
By the late 1980s, most music synthesizers could output files compatible with the MIDI standard. Dave wrote a translator to turn MIDI files directly into Intellivision music code. Its first use was on Steve Ettinger's game Deep Pockets: Super Pro Pool & Billiards. George Sanger, commissioned to provide music for the game, selected blues pianist Jimmy Martin to improvise this piece on a MIDI keyboard. Dave's translator turned the MIDI output into Intellivision code that perfectly captured Jimmy's live performance, and in a fraction of the time it would have taken to program by hand.
Unfortunately, INTV closed its doors in 1991 without releasing Deep Pockets. No other music was translated from MIDI to Intellivision.
10. Surfin on Thin Ice > The Fat Man
Here, George updates his 1983 theme for Thin Ice with a rocking surf arrangement.
Classics on Intellivision
11. Also Sprach Zarathustra
There is some question as to who programmed this music for the cartridge; a likely candidate is Hal Finney, who contributed sounds to several early cartridges.
12. Toccata in D Minor > David Warhol
Dave took advantage of the ECS modules ability to play six notes at once to create a rich organ sound.
13. Purcells Rondeau from Abdelazar, Schuberts Unfinished Symphony, Moussorgskys Night on Bald Mountain, Beethovens Ninth Symphony > David Warhol
The Rondeau from Abdelazar plays over the title screen. Schuberts Unfinished Symphony is heard over the get ready screen and during the main gameplay. Short excerpts from Night on Bald Mountain and Beethovens Ninth accompany grabbing a power-up treasure and losing a turn, respectively.
14. Lounge Shark! Lounge Shark! > The Tilton-Tate Orchestra
15. Maple Leaf Rag > Steve Ettinger
16. My Intellivision (1982 Mix) > Michael Schwartz
On Intellivision Lives!, the song was limited to a 30-second instrumental excerpt looping in the background. Here, for the first time, is the complete version with vocals. Sound effects are from Snafu.
My Intellivision
How could you put me in this position?
I miss your control and demands,
And so I sit here without ambition,
I want...I want my...I want my Intellivision!
And so I swear by my own volition,
Unreleased Intellivision Themes
17. James Bond Theme > David Warhol
18. You Deserve a Break Today > David Warhol
19. Linus & Lucy > David Warhol
20. Blow Out > Andy Sells
They put together a playable demo, Blow Out, to present the concept, Bill doing the program, Keith the graphics, and Andy the music. Mattel liked the idea and three Party Line games were developed, but none were released.
21. Yogis Frustration > Joshua Jeffe
22. Rocky & His Friends > David Warhol
24. Snafu City > The Buddy O Trio
25. The Closest Thing to the Real Thing > Confusium
The piece incorporates voice samples from Intellivision TV commercials, as well as from the Intellivoice games Space Spartans (designed and programmed by Bill Fisher & Stephen Roney), Bomb Squad (Gene Smith), B-17 Bomber (John Sohl, Bill Fisher & Stephen Roney), and TRON Solar Sailer (Keith Robinson). Unreleased German, French, and Italian versions of Space Spartans are also heard.
"The Closest Thing to the Real Thing" debuted in the Intellivision booth at the 2000 Classic Gaming Expo in Las Vegas.
26. TRON 1.1 > Tom Kahelin
Mattel published three Intellivision TRON games, and several for other platforms. Of these, only Keith Robinson's Intellivoice game TRON Solar Sailer used music from the movie. I asked our lawyers if I could use the film music, says Keith. They said they didn't know, which I took as a Yes. Andy Sells arranged the Wendy Carlos compositions for the game.
Now, Tom Kahelin creates a new suite incorporating the major musical themes from the movie. In the instrumentation he captures an important emotional theme as well: the meeting of the real and the electronic simulation. That, after all, is what happens each time we pick up a hand controller.

He's baaaaaaacccck! Chucky is back to give you nightmares!
'Cult Of Chucky' will begin filming in Winnipeg on Monday. The original voice of chucky, Brad Dourif is back also.
According to EW.com we are in for some more creepiness:
"It's hard to believe that it's been nearly 30 years since Chucky first terrified moviegoers in Child's Play," said Glenn Ross, General Manager and Executive Vice President, Universal 1440 Entertainment. "Since then the films have generated millions in worldwide box-office revenue. Now Chucky's back with more scores to settle in his trademark twisted style, and you can bet he won't stop until he gets his revenge."

Without warning, like the shadowy figures known only through whispers in the night, Ninja Gaiden Sigma has made its presence known on the PlayStation Store. The demo will be available today in the US, one day prior to its Japanese release, alongside a demo for Virtua Tennis.
Also coming out today are trailers for Gauntlet II, The Wheelman, John Woo's Stranglehold and The Godfather. The full version of Ninja Gaiden Sigma is set for a June release (on disc).
It is the 27th in Japan, which happens to be the 26 in the states, so by paper it is 1 day gap.
Sweeeeeet!, not getting any work done this weekend, probably wont finish downloading till late tonight, i know the network is gonna be moving tar slow by the time i get home, damn school kids.
until I confirmed that the demos were actually available online.
Sadly, I went to the store, to discover that they're not. Hopefully any time soon, though...
Just thought I'd share an unrelated, but positive sidenote:
What HAS been just released, is the new [email protected] update, version (1.1).
After visiting the store, I re-entered the Folding program, and was immediately prompted to download the new update. A recently-related story was talking about improved calculating abilities. What an UNDERSTATEMENT that was!!!...
After the update, my PS3 is now crunching numbers at a staggering .035 seconds per frame - compared to a pre-V.1.1 processing time of .07 spf...That's an incredible 100% improvement. It's estimating a requirement of a measly four hours for completing a total unit comprised of a half-million frames. In comparison, my PC is currently crunching at 54 seconds per frame (over 1,500 times slower!!!)
Sorry, but my enthusiasm forced me to share that unrelated tidbit of good news.
1. New eye toy
2. EyeVio
3. Ninja Gaiden
and now an update for folding at home.....
Wow! Just wow!

All About Archie / Re: List of Known Birthdays?« on: May 01, 2018, 11:52:46 pm »
Thanks for sharing this. Is there a link to the sources? I'm curious how this was derived. I'm also curious about the competing plausible theories for different dates.
I don't know where I got it from. It's currently in a text file on my hard drive. I'm guessing I got them off the official Archie Comics site back then. They'd changed it a lot over the years, so it's possible that these birthdays were listed in individual character profiles or even on a page that no longer exists.
