ooooh sneaky, I like that. Isn't that illegal or something though? I don't think anyone would care but that's probably why they're not doing it. They could at least pull their heads out of their asses and not try and probe the servers using their company's main network!!! Do it on some small, seperate connection that really wouldn't matter if it got DOSed. Hey speaking of that, do it and let them DOS you and then make a log of all the IPs doing it and I'm sure ISPs would agree to disconnect all customers with those IPs until they get rid of storm by reinstalling windows or whatever.
Oh come on, that's ridiculous. I'm 20 and I know how to get around that, let alone huge security company employees. So you get a second cheap connection from your ISP for like crazy cheap. It could even be a standard DSL or cable connection through a standard modem. Then use some temporary computer you just set up on the new connection to poke around. If you start getting DOSed you unplug the modem and try again. Some corporate customer carrying ISPs will even let you just change your IP. You could get on a new IP and keep poking like 50 times in a day at least. It's really not that hard and not that sneaky.
you must be a thirteen year old girl then rofl. They seem to all think that's the point. Cuz you know, there's SO MANY hot older guys to meet on Myspace ZOMGROFLCOPTER!
aww so if everyone on slashdot goes to www.fuck-you-verisign.com, that won't show up as the #1 non existant domain visited when they look? Darn! I was gonna highly recommend that. I dunno, I think it'll work. Cuz aren't there some crappy, little ISP branches that wouldn't have their own DNS servers and just let everything go right up to a main one? I mean even my road runner DNS servers at this very moment are in Kansas according to their WHOIS and I live in an area Wisconsin with almost 100,000 people so they're not using a "local" one exactly.
Yeah they sure killed the fun. If you sit two twelve year olds down at a 2 player flash game where you beat each other in the head with hammers, I personally know like 4 kids that would laugh every single time for like 5 minutes and say it's the best game ever made.
anyway, the trend is tons more time having to be spent on art and design and skinning and textures and cutsecenes and Feng Shuing the map and whatever the hell else they waste time on these days. And that leaves a tiny budget and no time for actual gameplay development because of deadlines. Remember when game programmers had someone do graphics in like a week or two then got on with making the game good But now no, they spend $10,000 and a week or two hiring people to go photograph trees in Ireland from every angle then hurriedly throw down a page of AI script that runs your escort into that tree in game until you restart the level.
It's refreshing that they're mixing it up a little. The only emotion that 99% of games in the N64 era and before invoked was blind rage:D you know you threw that controller across the room and swore at Bowser for spinning you out in Mari Kart, don't deny it!
if everyone used Mac OS or a Linux distribution then malware makers would target them. They only target windows cuz it's popular. Come on, everyone knows that.
When they're done with the rover projects and they finally die, they should put the team to work on fixing Vista. Then we might actually get somewhere. If they can get a rover out of a crator like a bajillion miles away without being able to see it, they can get us to be able to copy more than 46,000 files or whatever lol.
I DON'T CARE HOW THEY LOOK! I'm a web designer and I don't want to consider one more goddam thing in how a page will be displayed. Right now at this very moment it's like "oh well for Safari users" or "damn, this just doesn't work for IE users." The last thing I need is to consider the space used when it's rendered in a different font!
Plus you know nobody's gonna update their pages. People are just recently fixing their pages to look right Firefox. It's like Microsoft though "hmmm, how can we piss Vista users off even more? I know! Make all webpages look fucked up!"
what cards? Online casinos can program it so deal you a seventeen of circles "card" if they want. They're ALL a scam. You can program them to do anything and you can't see if your other players are who they say they are or if they even exist at all! I can right now make a casino where nobody ever wins and people would fall for it for a while. All of them should be outlawed everywhere.
gamma and I think alpha radiation can damage hard drives. Plus X-ray machines use X-rays. Yes there is a spectrum called X-ray lol. I dunno if airport ones literally use X-ray radiation but I know actual like go to the doctor X-rays damage hard drives. It's high energy, ionizing radiation that can knock parts of your DNA off and cause cancer. If one of those rays makes it through the casing, there goes that bit. Gamma can do the same and it would take what, like 1 lightyear of lead to stop it. Beta would impact the outside casing. I mean come on, tin foil can stop it. Which kinda makes you wonder why they'd use that to scan past the surface of anything like you said. I don't remember about Alpha. That might not make it through the casing either.
500 milliseconds?! Hey I've got an idea, if they can't get the data of what they're going to the server in 500 seconds, boot them lol. Predicting actions just makes them look like they're doing something they're not and then you're shooting at the wrong location and laggy ppl get an advantage. If I made a shooter MMOG, I'd constantly boot everyone with a ping time over 200 ms from the game, and that's being generous. Then everyone can download their porn in the background later and turn off their p2p programs and remove all their spyware and we can all live happily ever after. If someone actually has a connection THAT slow with nothing else using their connection then they can all call up their ISP or switch and see if the ISPs get the message and speed up their network.
Isn't there also one that prevents them from sending just anything down the pipe? I mean if your phone company called you up pretending to be your friend in order to trick you into doing something they want you to, they'd get arrested. I'd say wire fraud as a minimum since they're sending false, deceptive data to you.
If the person next to me talked on their phone the entire flight, I'd kill them lol. That would drive me completely insane. Also I'd say "You know they can easily make a cell phone sized bomb" but you can also already make a laptop sized bomb. And since I've heard X-ray machines wipe hard drives, they don't scan them. I say get rid of the laptops AND phones and people can just watch the damn movie and leave me alone!
When I installed it for someone who was too cheap to pay the ridiculous $175 fot Office 2003, I got a call real quick when they brought a "powerpoint" project to school that was saved in non-microsoft format and it ruined their whole presentation. They weren't very happy. If more people supported it, it wouldn't be a problem. If Microsoft would quit being jerks about it and supported opening open formats that Open Office uses, that would be ever better!
the theory is if one star was more than 20 solar masses, the force of the supernova would throw too much mass off and it wouldn't be able to collapse into a black hole. So they're all confused apparently which is why I said it was obviously a trinary system, one star went black hole and sucked up just one of the others. That would explain the 17 solar mass black hole in a system with one other star. Seriously, is it that hard for them to figure out?
I was thinking the same thing. And you know how they get that big? By forming and then sucking up tons and stars around them. And who says this one didn't form differently? It's in a binary system now but trinary systems exist. And don't say "but it didn't suck up 6 stars." They just said in the article that some stars can be 20 solar masses. That's a really badly named unit lol.
wow, I couldn't have written it that way on purpose if I tried. But that makes it even more ironic that I was too lazy to try and it turned out that way lol. Or should I say I was too lazu
This is to be expected. A lot of people read wikipedia to look up stuff and learn and all that. They never really wanted to edit it though cuz they're lazu. And then when they look up a topic near and dear to their heart like a specific video game or show and find something incorrect or totally lacking and just can't bear to not do something about it. But that's as far as the motivation takes them. I'd assume the majority of editors are like that. Who has like hours and hours to write really good articles all the time?
No modern games actual gameplay can hold a torch to the Phantasy Star series on Sega Genesis or the Exile/Avernum series for the computer. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I played the, as a kid so I'm biased but last time my MMORPG was having weeks of issues, I played Exile 3 again and liked it a lot better.
they're probably already doing that. The CIA is big on that sort of thing. What I wanna know is why instead of trying to catch these losers, someone doesn't just release an antivirus worm. You know a worm that cures the storm infection. They did that for blaster I think.
you do realize that it's not a treat for them to "focus more on advertising to make up for subscriber loss." That just means their current subscribers will see more and thus stupider ads. AOL is like advertisements online as it is. With unbelievable business decisions like this, anything that happened to AOL they brought on themselves.

I thought Myspace itself was just one big game called avoid the sex offender. It's a realtime strategy game
Yeah they sure killed the fun. If you sit two twelve year olds down at a 2 player flash game where you beat each other in the head with hammers, I personally know like 4 kids that would laugh every single time for like 5 minutes and say it's the best game ever made.

wait wait wait, come on...porn AND ads. Maybe even porn ads.
Sorry but Christmas is in another castle. Guess Mario's not gonna save it this time lol.
