Hehe, I haven't owned a television for about 6 years (or indeed sat and watched more than 10-20min worth at a friends place).
If everyone would start just tuning out to the crap posing as entertainment they would either adapt and fix what is broken with it or fall apart under the cost of running a broadcast station without anyone wanting to advertise on them:)
I agree, a 40k based game would have been spectacular, personally a xv-8 suit with twin linked missile pods would be my choice of gear... or maybe an '88 and just snipe:)
I will stick to Eve-online and City of Villains till war is out, then probably to Age of Conan from there.
Not to mention admission that they used the software, the guy has a very easy court case ahead of him now.
God I would love this.

It's foolish to directly compete with WoW unless you have a strong IP, huge marketing budget, and gameplay that makes players to give up their WoW timesink for your timesink.
So I guess based on that warhammer on-line (one of the strongest ever IPs, rivalled only by LotR really) backed by EA Games (they have some spare money, i think) and good pvp is going to be the WoW killer then?
Nope, but IE governs what servers are considered "safe" for executeing files from, so once you set the NAS as trusted in IE you will not get the pesky "are you sure you want to trust this server" crap;)
A lot of the games that are touting "DX 10" will in fact come out on XP with a DX9 engine as well (even crytek have said this). MS themselves say that they don't expect any "DX10 ONLY" games till early to mid '08.
Hehe, kinda got a point, but you have to have something to do while waiting to yell at peeps for breaking RP rules ^_^
I normally refer to them as MMOG because apart from a few really great people in CoV I have seen remarkably little in the way of RP in games these days (and yes, I do make a point that if someone is RPing, I will attempt to RP back).
Actually driver signing was rather easy to do with XP, just supply a driver that doesn't mess with any other part of the system, pay the cash and you had your little tick (this is shown particularly well about 12mths ago when nvidia submitted and got approved a driver that didn't actually work, it just didn't annoy anything else).
The onus is on microsoft to make their system either: A. easy to write drivers for B. very similar to existing API C. give the manufacturers enough time to get a stable running drive out in the wild
They didn't do any of these things, the first because of the stupid DRM requirements, the second because they wanted vista to at least have one new thing in it and the third because its their policy not to play nice and ship early.
Correct! Buy a copy of sisoft sandra, and get it to display mobo info, all my ASUS boards are 123456789000, and Gigabyte boards don't even have a serial number at all.
Hrmm, this Asus board allows me to put an mp3 into it for the "power on" sound (no I am not joking), if I put a copyrighted file in there, and they snarf it without the artists permission (and they sure as hell didn't ask me, or suggest I shouldn't put it there for them to get) can we get the RIAA to sue them?
Yup, they did of course take all the GOOD bits out of the diplomacy system early in the beta (i managed to have a quick play with it, between crashes).
This game is released unfinnished and pre-nerfed from what it could have been, by a company that cares nothing for its customers beyond their CC details month-to-month.
Usually they leave the copy protection on demo software because leaving it out gives crackers the chance to see what the core game binary should look like without the kludg and makes it a lot easier for them to "fix" it:)
A lot of small clinics will only have 1-10 computers, in that sort of environment you usually just drop a good raid card in one of them and a bevy of HDD and it is now the "server" as well. It is likely that they would be storing client info on a machine with a workstation OS in this case. Even if they do have it on a separate server, the data still has to go to the workstations eventually, and then it is at risk.
Truth be told this could be a problem with windows XP as well, all it takes is for one person to hit "send data" after a program crash and there's a breach of patient information.
Guess what, I have mod points available, and rather than spend them modding your posts down (dear god I want to, reading your post history) I find it damn near impossible to do so, when I checked your history, pretty much your entire post career on/. has been modded -1.
Comparing moderation to what the Nazis did is, and I will be brutally frank, fucking deranged.
Get over it, the original/. (I read the thing for 8 months before I made an account, I even remember kicking back and listening to "slashdot radio" from before the word podcast was used) was the same ol'-same ol' aka. a communal blog on "geek interests".
Back to your regularly scheduled mayhem:)
ps, a "troll" is someone who partakes of "trolling" ie baiting people to reply (yeah, much as I have done), not some relation to a fictitious creature.
there's no reason why I shouldn't be allowed to sell my character
One thing they point out is that its not YOUR CHARACTER, its never your character, you are paying your little fee each month to use their character in their game.
Haha, I am not an american, I just posted it because I thought it was a good laugh (and it is, judging by the way the fucktard acts).
In all honesty though, since your head of state is a "representative of the people" you can imagine what sort of picture this paints of the average american for everyone;)

If you have nero (not tried under Xnix) you can load the iso and then select DVD as the medium in the top left corner, then it will burn each CD onto a DVD:)

And if used for medical computers, its an illegal operation :P
If their post of the article is modded up funny it would be considered parody though :P
(yeah, a bit late but)

All I can say is, may the gods of the intranet save you if you ever want to use a home NAS.
Are you sure you want to open this file?
Are you sure you want to copy this file?
At least with XP you can feed the IP of your NAS into the IE "trusted sources" list and it would stop bothering you for that source.
Last time I looked DaoC, EQ1 and EQ2 worked with wine. Is it too large a step to take?

What amazed me was that they cast it without using any red mana!
:/
Bloody type one decks
Actually, Gmail cellphone activation works here in Australia :)
Actually we supply the standard windows OEM cd with all purchases, so you can wipe it and make it vanilla if you want. ^_^
And yeah, a 10 cent dvd with all the goodies they want on it can be burnt without a lot of hassle.
