Being a traditionalist, I do favor scary and/or creepy costumes, and this fits the bill. This is a little less threatening than a priest costume, though.

This fascinating commentary on evolutionary biology is filled with facts. I’m synthesizing this plus Mark Sisson’s assertion that we max out at 4,000 calories of exercise a week plus Richard Nikoley’s relentless assassination of dogma (whether in politics, nutrition or the paleo community). I think it’s time to mix back in a lot more endurance activities. Also, bonus cool thing: did you know people have been running horse versus human marathons and they are close races?
There are many other features in the head that help us become exceptional long-distance walkers and runners. I became obsessed with the idea that humans evolved to run long distances, evolved to walk long distances, basically evolved to use our bodies as athletes. These traces are there in our heads along with those brains.
This is somewhat of a retreat, though, from a company that’s used an anti-software trademark for more than a decade. And given the popularity of OS X, I’d be interested in a clarification on its lifespan, too.
Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, always game for a little tech trash talk, said that Microsoft’s Windows 8 operating system would be “the end of Windows” and that “Windows is irrelevant.”
I’m curious to see if wiping my box and installing 12.10 from scratch will make Chrome and Unity behave again. Although, Gnome 3 has been working fine since I switched.
I found it strange that the article offers Elite 2 and Elder Scrolls as examples of games that generate their environments procedurally. Nethack comes to mind. But if you watch the video demo of A New Zero, the blocky graphics and soft music might remind you of another little game called Minecraft.
A 3D video game that creates a virtual world on-the-fly could change how blockbuster shoot-’em-up titles are built.

The idea of building gaming environments from code, known as procedural generation, is not new. Austin points to an early 1990s space simulation called Frontier: Elite 2, which procedurally generated a whole galaxy for exploration. The popular Elder Scrolls series of games uses procedural generation to draw many of its dungeons, which are then touched up by artists.
