Players will experience amazing adventures as they solo their team of characters in the wilderness, feud against individual rivals in family vs. family duels, group with other players in dungeons to defeat epic bosses, and unite with fellow clan members in massive city vs. city conflicts. This is Sword of the New World Vis, and this is what MMORPGs should be.

Also note that engineers typically from middle class backgrounds and with hard work can become moderately wealthy. However, the tax code is quite abusive to people in these 80k to 120k range who are without alot of assets to start. If you cannot make the jump to the big numbers obatainable by lwyers and management you will not become comfortable or have much of a net against layoff.

“But I fear for Americas future if your unable to within the next 10–25 years to foster a new generation of scientists.“
Posted by: AmericaFirst
Right now getting a Ph.D. in the sciences/engineering doesn’t mean that one is employable; many tech jobs are being offshored; corporations in the USA regard engineers as a cost, to be regularly purged; age discrimination starts at 40.
Given all that, why would a rational person go into science/engineering? And if they did to the point of getting a BS, why not switch fields, to something where a BS in science/engineering gives them a leg up, rather than being no big deal?

I guess this is Americas punishment for fostering a spoilt generation, here in europe too the trend is the same but I suppose with the growing muslim population here and the increasing exodus of our scientific minds America will be a good place for them to migrate to.
But I fear for Americas future if your unable to within the next 10–25 years to foster a new generation of scientists.

I’m glad to hear the folks at the Pentagon are catching up to the fact that modern terrorist organizations often don’t follow traditional bureaucratic structures — a fact that’s been noticed already by everyone from counterterrorism experts to The Onion — http://www.theonion.com/content/node/44900. But other than that, the USA Today article is mostly a collection of cliches and non-sequiturs. “Terrorism is decentralized. The new internet economy is decentralized. Therefore, there’s something about one of them that can teach us something about the other if we just do something.“
Take this lovely graf: “When Sandy Weill was CEO of Citigroup he took steps to decentralize a company that today has 300,000 employees in 100 countries by letting divisions compete freely against each other. To defeat terrorism, young people must believe they have opportunity in the world, or they will blow themselves up to get to the next, says Weill, who helped raise $100 million for victims of the 2005 Kashmir earthquake in Pakistan, a country known as a breeding ground for terrorism.” What if anything does the first sentence, about decentralizing Citigroup, have to do with the second, about poverty being a supposed motivator for terror?
Then there’s this gem: “Centralize the decentralized opponent. An example of this would be to let Hezbollah go ahead and govern in Lebanon. Hezbollah is defined as a terrorist organization by the United States, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Israel. But it is more centralized than al-Qaeda and is funded by the centralized government of Iran. Centralized governments are easier to persuade and/or defeat than independent cells, Beckstrom said.“
As they point out, Hez, unlike al Qaeda, is rather centralized, except perhaps at the tactical level on the battlefield. So… what exactly does letting it run Lebanon (as opposed to only half of Lebanon) prove about “centralizing” decentralized opponents?

The Air Force/Hollywood screenwriting science class is pretty old — the NY Times reported on it in 2005:
http://select.nytimes.com/search/restricted/article?res=FB0814FD345B0C778CDDA10894DD404482
It’s behind the “cough-up” firewall now, but if you trust me, the article’s dated August 4, 2005 and titled, “Pentagon’s New Goal: Put Science Into Scripts.” The CS monitor (and the other news outlets that seem to have picked up on this today) don’t look like they’re picking up on anything new like a radical expansion of the program or anything, but I admit I haven’t sat down and read their article very thoroughly.
