Re:Quantum Mechanics: Ph.D Thesis of Paul Dirac on Monday August 12, 2013 @04:19AM (#6198192)
I think these are just his notes on his thesis, rather than his actual thesis. I don't know what the source is, but this same document was posted on HN as his `handwritten notes for his Ph.D' (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6002173).

It's incomplete, full of corrections and deletions and covered in notes that are not referenced in the text.

Cambridge keeps a copy of theses submitted since 1920, so they should have a hardcopy of the real thing somewhere, but I wouldn't have thought it had been digitised. How fantastic it would be if they did though!

Re:Final Fantasy VII is available on Steam on Thursday July 04, 2013 @08:48AM (#5990387)
This is the hi-res model re-release. It looks like it's identical to the one square released last year, but available via Steam instead of Square. It has all the updated models of the hacked versions and (slightly) improved sound quality, plus a few new `features' like cloud-saving (anti-feature?) and character boosting (who knows).

I bought the square version and the cloud-saving was pretty awful, you sometimes had to wait up to 10 mins to contact their server and save the game. I can only imagine they've fixed that for this release.

Your last statement is incorrect. Blizzard proposed to try it when they rolled out their new version of battle.net in 2010, but they reneged long before release when some people kicked up a gargantuan fuss. The people who opposed it -speculated- that it would result in bullying, harassment, gender-discrimination and other general problems.
