THE 5 percent of Americans with the highest incomes now account for 37 percent of all consumer purchases, according to the latest research from Moody’s Analytics. That should come as no surprise. Our society has become more and more unequal. -

The Quake3 Networking Model
This article is a reprint/updated version of an e-mail I sent out to the mud-dev mailing list a few years ago, describing the Q3 networking model as described to me by John Carmack. I did this partly out of my own curiousity (since I was firmly entrenched in the graphics side of things) and partly out of a desire to propagate information on the 100% unreliable networking model in Q3 which I felt (and still feel) was fairly groundbreaking due to its simplicity and ease of understanding.
The First Attempt (QTEST/Quake2)
Carmack's first real networking implementation, back in 1995, used TCP for QuakeTest (QTEST). This was fine for LAN play, because the large packets (8K) wouldn't fragment on a LAN (by "fragment", I mean to the point where disassembly and reassembly induced significant overhead), but didn't work so well over the Internet due to fragmentation (where dis/reassembly and lost packets often resulted in very expensive resends). His next iteration involved using UDP with both reliable and unreliable data, pretty much what many would consider a standard networking architecture. However standard mixed reliabled/unreliable implementations tend to generate very hard to find bugs, e.g. sequencing errors where guaranteed messages referenced entities altered through unreliable messages. -
New York's Little Italy fights for its gastronomic reputation - latimes.com
Reporting from New York— A family from the Midwest formed a crescent around the posted menu outside an Italian restaurant on Mulberry Street, the main (and only) drag of Manhattan's shrinking Little Italy. It didn't take long for the Latino restaurant barker — the guys who stand on the sidewalk trying to lure in the indecisive and hungry — to pounce: "Ciao, bellas," he said, using the Spanish plural of the Italian noun. "Come in and eat," he added, motioning with a sweep of his arm toward the open door. The family, though, thought better of it and moved on.
