Hehe, and remember the study a few months back that found that the order of letters within a word is unimportant, so long as the first and last are correct? Potentially big words could be listed merely by how many of each letter they have, then randomly mix them up inside, order doesn't matter:)
And yes, offering cash in this way is a great incentive for programers.
Also, if its a cpu friendly (read: reasonable cpu useage or even able to be offloaded on a processing card) method it could potentially add 20% onto your bandwidth:)
Running on winXP sp2 here, and having no problems what so ever. Yeah it eats some ram, but with Vista on the horizon chewing up 1G just for windows, a browser useing 200-300M is not a huge issue.
Running no extensions, like it just vanilla, except for a few about:config changes (i like having the close tab button on the right of the window, and was happy to see they implemented support to set it still) it runs for several days on end with no crashes in sight. One thing though, i do disable most javascript (particularly that that plays around with window shape/context menus and status) and have a proxy that blocks 99% of ad servers, so avoid most of the nasty JS anyway:)
Oh, and the speel chequer is awsom, but could do with a language changer that can let me type armour and colour without bitching:/
As to this, i would have thought it a good idea to have a pair of shiny new generators (each capable of full load) as well as a little more cash for a used one of same size:
A. you know its in working condition RIGHT NOW (would be nice to try and start up your pair of new generators to find them DOA)
B. if there is a fault, a problem-over-time fault, with the new generators, you don't want them all dieing in the same week, haveing an old POS there could just save the company if/when excrement hits the air excitation device:)
Imho treat em like a mirrored HDD setup, hell, you could go the whole hog, get 4 smaller sized generators and raid5 em together ^_^
Can use winroute (kerio package) to act as a DNS only, have it default deny, then make up the wildcards you want (yes, it supports standard * and ! wildcards).
Yes, much of the problems associated with protecting a windows machine can be fixed by "trusting" and "not trusting" (well duh), firewall and not running any old downloaded code or plugging anyones storage in negates the need for a virus scanner, the problem here is that apple, a "trusted" source, has failed to protect themselves and us.
I say buy one, find the virus, install it on all your PCs (make sure you have lots of "important documents"... read: porn) and then sue sue sue their excuse makeing arses off the market ^_^
I'd be more worried about legal implications of doing this
Can you say DoS attack?
As someone said, if its that important to you, get a "mobile network" solution, whatever is applicable in your country (in australia we have one supplied by telstra that is dog slow, but useable for MMOG).
IANAL but it reads like they will not shut down the domain entry unless the owner asks (is forced by a court) to have it shut down, pretty much forceing anyone who wants to shut down the site to sue spamhaus IN THEIR OWN DAMN COUNTRY, not wherever the most usefull set of laws for their litigation may be.
You will find, after reading the case in question, that the reason they had the book thrown at them was because they were asked by the court to supply their computer as evidence, THEN they wiped the HDD.
They were given default judgement because by destroying evidence asked for by the court (the destruction being done after the asking) is very very wrong.
Starcraft: ghost, allong with Warcraft: Lord of the Clans, were both axed during early development, seems bliz don't like the fps/adventure genere.
The game will stagnate over time, and lose peeps. Expect a lot of the PvP loveing crowd (hey, WoW is putting in real PvP with an x-pack soon right? like ffxi and CoH?) to drop it once mythic bring out WAR mid next year or so, large chunk of the younger WoW fanbois i know are also warhammer (either 40k or fantasy) fans and would likely swap just so they could kill stunties:)
And better than that, Gamesworkshop (bless their monopolistic hides) retain rights to veto all work that goes into WAR, and have the control to tell MythicEA to shove it into their neither regions:)
As for the original topic, if they are makeing ongoing revinue off these games, that will lower the cost to buy them right? right? oh wait, I am liveing in a god damned dream world:/
Yeah, the OP asked the wrong question, should be "what % of your very cheap hdd storage do you use for swap?".
Personally i use 5G of mine, thats enough should anything start gobbleing it up (have seen one buggy game use over 6G once, 1.8 in real mem rest was swapped).
But then, i beta a lot of games that have memory handleing like the titanic had water pumps;)

20% of a few petabytes is.... a lot :)

Hrmm, survival of the fittest job wise, works in nature, why not here? :)
And besides, that goth chick does look hot ^_^

Aww Taco, you had a chance to use the old SGI icon again and missed it ;(
Poor thing rarely sees the light of day anymore.
It also retains no data while playing, i tried turning the volume down and just letting it play, then started from the beginning, still buffering :/
/.ing on themselves with a shoddy media player that makes terrible use of bandwidth.
Seems they brought this
Argg, took a look at our winroute setup (dimly remeber setting it up ages ago) and it would need to be acting as a proxy to do this.
Allways another option of course, block everything at the firewall and lock down their access at the proxy.
Can use winroute (kerio package) to act as a DNS only, have it default deny, then make up the wildcards you want (yes, it supports standard * and ! wildcards).
eg
*.google.com
www!.yourworkdomain.com
*sourceforge.net

Yeah, would love a 40k mmog, but one of your statements got me...

"I can't think of a MMORPG where fighting *doesn't* occur on the ground"
Eve online of course, full 3d space battles

Hrmm, he is 8th in halo2. what else does he play pro? well, according to his score sheet, nothing.

Nice wording, honest outcome
Bah, posting /. at 3am is never smart, security through obscurity of course ^_^
Just another format, yeah but one supporting DRM.
And hideing the audio files with obscurity through obscurity, thats just stupid, not thoughtfull.
Btw, you ever try playing back those AAC files once you have copied them off your ipod?
One URL, irc.rizon.net :P

I leave the updates set to "download but ask me when to install", run em about every 3-4 months (when i restart pc) or when upgrades are done.
:)
No virus scanner.
No adware scanner.
Monowall router + kerio personal firewall subscription (filters ad servers and popup javascript from sites browsed) and never had a single problem.
Lan sessions can be an issue, but the nvidia activearmour deals well with that
News site? Hell I thought it was his blog....
:)
Seriusly though, newst for nerds, this counts, no question there

Yeah, that was the first thing I thought too.
Could not really immagine the ads for them being applicable to gamers tho, I do most of my ordering from pizza/chinese delivery places ^_^

"How would they get paid?"
;)
By the pixel at the 100yr mark, the less original content they maintain the less they get paid ^_^
Of course, this leads to the whole "lets encode in realmedia dialup quality mode" that way you wouldn't even need to pay them 5 min later
