Hrmm, what needs to happen, is Anonymous needs to declare itself a religion, then this horrid battle by the Co$ to suppress and vilify them could be stopped!
One of the reasons I think some PC devs "get it" was when Team Fortress 2 recently added a delay into the scout pistol shooting, because they had inadvertently made it so you could fire a bullet from the thing "as fast as the input device would allow" so you had smart arses using programmable keyboards and mice to fire their whole clip in less time than a human could fire 2 bullets, so as simple as your loop looks, obviously a WHOLE lot more code needs to be there, such as checking rate of fire for instance:)
Yeah I am burning karma, but its there to be burnt.
Why did the OP just wholesale copy one of my posts from earlier in the thread? Including the comment at the end which states my user name from the forum my original post was in reference to.
You forget to factor in that the vast majority of the "good stuff" is old, so people have now gotten all the "good stuff" and now just trickle download the more rare "new good stuff".
I think what they should do is dump all the good movies and shit on one server, get it properly sorted, then once people have their huge fucking collection up to date we just RSYNC from there and get the latest, could even mirror it locally on ISPs to save on international bandwidth.
Thats what I was doing, farming L4 missions, thats about how much (at the time at least) I was getting for just the kills, the loot and salvage were another matter, it was hard to work out how much you made from that as the market was a fickle and angry beast.
I farmed missions for isk to pay for my account (when I was playing it that is), and would clear about 20-25Misk an evening with about 4hrs work, this was 100% safe farming, no chance of being PvP ganked, little-no chance of losing a ship (for those wondering Gallante command ship + second account running a logistics ship with a battleship class remote armour repper on it).
So 300Bisk is quite a bit of money, but it is still pretend money:)

Why 30? I avoid games that don't have a good enough engine that I can get at least 60FPS.
16.67ms... That explains why I don't like consoles so much :)

UT was indeed a great game, particularly with its mods :)
U4E is still my benchmark for "silly amount of guns in a game", who could forget the "fleshbomb darts" or the "dolly".
Now that I read the interesting article about input lag on console games, I can be even more smug about my PC gaming rig. /me gets back to playing TF2

FusionIO SSD are rated upto 48 years of continuous use at 5TB written/erased a day.
Not sure if intel rate theirs that high.
No, I'm Batman!
Point out to me how many console games are rendered at 1080p with 8x AA and 16x AF?
They say they are using Intel SSD via SATA, their higher end drives typically have a 2M hrs MTBF, almost double what most HDD are these days.

You not been following that thread enough, you will note the new patriot SSD have a 10yr warranty, but of course a "supercomputer" wouldn't use those.
Other pci-e based SSD I have seen around give upto 50yr life span.
Damage.Inc here btw
Yup, I been playing games at 1920x1200 for about 3 years now, with AA and with AF at 60+ fps.
Its not that much to have a PC that can do it, and it looks a whole lot better than anything a console spits out :)
You will note that site is Australian, a country that cannot use Kindles.
Are those books available like that in the relevant countries?
Ahh, I have the answer.
Head over to thepiratebay.org, grab all of season 1 of Full House.
This serves 2 purposes.
1, takes up the all important empty space in both your download queue and in your HDD
2, gives you something to delete when it comes time to "slim down my collection to save space" and you won't miss it
Just for the love of satan, don't watch the damn thing :)

Yeah, he should get a cut for describing non-Newtonian fluids...
Good foresight, yes, getting a cut of something that has been around for a LONG time, no.
G'day!
Well just their soft tissue ;)
It can do a flat spin, assuming we are only talking small items, I think thats a yes :)
Throw in blacklisting the skype-to-skype calls, then whitelist all the calls to known bank numbers, IRS etc.
Grind the whitelisted stuff first, then if you have extra cycles work on all the stuff in the middle :)
Oh, and don't restrict 9-5pm if there are DTMF codes, someone may be doing phone banking ;)
Just have it look for important phone numbers, IRS, major banks, etc.
How much important info would you be likely to gleam from skype-skype calls as opposed to skype-landline?
/me looks at the UIDs
Uh, you must be new here...
Nah, its good programming. The design on the other hand, is another thing.

Sounds like they would be my best targets (from what I have heard).
An idea of how much that is to a "normal" player.
