Very interesting, with your work on voxels will modellers soon have to model the inside of objects - eg) Rather than modelling the human 'skin', model each part - clothes, body, tissue, bone?

If you were to accurately simulate mental states, there would need to be some kind of cause like the player murdering all the NPC's friends in front of them to end up on 1 rather than a randomly generated value

well the 13 inch macbook pro is the most popular apple laptop and netbooks/ultrabooks seem more popular than 17 inch behemoths so I guess somewhere around 13 inches is right

I would like to see innovation in books like this http://vimeo.com/15142335 Linking content in the books to outside real-time resources. Alternatively, what would you think of a subscription based purchase model for a book where each year

I understand how some of these techniques work like creating a story for remembering the order of a stack of cards but surely it depends on how you think as in some people are good at remembering language, others pictures or feelings..

I agree and sometimes its nice to have an uncluttered interface to work with. I find it easier to work with a full screen minimalistic editor [1,2] when writing than say word.. 1 http://www.codealchemists.com/jdarkroom/ 2 http://www.ommw

It looks really nice and well designed. I really want to see a MacOSX version of this, there are not really any good minimalistic drawing programs on the Mac app store yet..

Maybe in a future version then? It seemed like it could be quite easy to sort out with open street maps which I think is already possible to do through canvas. Perhaps another idea though would be to make your own stylised maps with Mapbox

I remember the legality of emulators being rather spotty until this ruling was made: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Galoob_Toys,_Inc._v._Nint... . Since Nintendo are against emulators: http://www.nintendo.com/corp/legal.jsp#emulator

I do realise that as a bioinformatician, but we need more genetic data from multiple people to see if there are any trends with certain genes that do predict illnesses. I really would like in the future to see blood tests test for everythin

Perhaps though by analysing your genetic data, you may also help those family members if you find a gene that suggests the likelihood of getting cancer or some other disease which, when treated early offers a better quality of life.

Most of the 2000 may be highly skilled or at least a large proportion to that of a bank, increasing funding in such a company may increase the number of people taking up science and engineering disciplines in education.

I think the title should be changed to: Skills 'Everyone' should learn. Of course if you are taught this as a child then everyone will know in the future but many generations at this moment in time still do not accept all these points..

I think it also depends how much light you have in the room. I think you would find it easier to sleep longer if the room was still dark after 8 hours.
