Does the Windows 8 password vault count as a "web-based password manager"? It does store your password on a third party online server. Hopefully its properly secured by good programmers and doesnt have any obvious (direct quote from the article) "logic and authorization mistakes to misunderstandings about the web security model, in addition to the typical vulnerabilities like CSRF and XSS".
If someone could tell me exactly what and how much to eat and how much and how hard to exercise. But dieting is all a lot of guesswork and maybes, and each and every person is an unique snowflake now'a'times that this can evidently not be solved by science.. Seriously; exercising is boring and so is food, and i would like to do them both as little as necessary.
Another thing, no one has ever straight out told me to go hungry to lose weight. The closest was the diplomatic answer (after i directly asked) that i should "redefine what hungry is"... ?!? What? Is dieting some kind of zen thing? Stupid. I would rather have the pills than deal with all this confusion and guesswork.
When i were in conscription (5 years ago in the kings guard) they served fish every tuesday. I have just recently began eating fish again, and i am still curious to what they did to that fish to make it taste so awful that i completely stopped eating fish.
My parents bought me a cheap and old commodore 64 in 1992, with no games and only a user manual. It went the only way it could; i made my own fun (sprites, music, basic games).
Later they got me an old IBM pc with MS-DOS, and i used the same knowledge in QBasic. I wanted to learn everything about programming. I searched libraries at school, i joined anything computer related. For this i got a good understanding of VERY BASIC WORD features. Jeez.. Seriously, there was nothing more advanced to be found. Nowhere. And i cursed that small spot of technological backwater internet-free spot of earth, while scouring every computer magazine i found.
Finally i started in High School in 2001, got internet-access, found how i could make my own Quake mods (i got the game and mapping tools trough a game magazine in my pre-internet era) and laid the foundations for my path of Destiny.
Okay. Dont give guns to toddlers and punks in dark alleys. And dont take gun suggestions from retarded people. Then we should be safe. We should probably give out a questionaire to future gun-owners.. "What sort of places are you hanging out? Are you a toddler? How retarded are you from a scale from..." Huh, i would think someone already did that..:)
That was brave of her. But if he had a gun, would she still have drawn hers? Would she still have lived? Because he would probably pulled the trigger first. After that he would have stolen her purse, sold her gun to a colleauge, and you would have two robbers running around with guns.
Here's what a civilised country with a well-educated, well-paid police force would do: Give away the purse without resistance (and without a gun inside), allow the mugger to think he has won and leave you (it is VERY rare a person would kill if not threatened). Then contact the cops and give an accurate description of the suspect. They will keep a lookout for the suspect, and most likely find him. Then you call your card company to close your card, your phone company to close your phone and your insurance company to get some of your money back for your probably expensive phone.
If you do not have a well-educated, well-paid police force close by, then there is your real problem. Not guns.
This is all you got out of that?
Of course no one in their right mind would give a toddler a gun. But someone insists on giving guns to punks in dark alleys, as they would rather prefer dying quicker. I would personally prefer being given a fighting chance. Or at least a running headstart.
Did not know that. Always heard that since we are 80% water, a bullet make a mess out of every muscle fiber, while a knife wound is usually an easily fixed cut.
There is no defense against guns. Well, except bulletproof shields or heavy armor. Or maybe just avoid the alleyways all together.
An example: You could give a toddler a gun and he could kill you instantly. Give the same toddler a knife, and..at the very worst.. he would accidently slash your arterial and you would slowly bleed to death.
Besides, if these thugs in the dark alleys would kill me either way, what sounds cooler? That i fought to my last in a kick-ass knife duel or that i died instantly from gun wound? Where did my knife came from, you might ask? Well, i never claimed i would rather get killed than have a weapon to defend myself. I just prefer that both parties in this conflict is carrying weapons which can be used defensively, so that the combat isn't instantly won by the first one to draw.
The next comment would probably, at this point, tell me that a knife in the back would kill me just as suddenly as a gun. True that. Or if i was old and defenseless they could probably just walk up and stab me from the front. True. I still think it would be more difficult for a person to walk up to me and stab me than to pull a trigger and watch me die.
I would rather get killed by something i had a chance of defending myself against than something killing me instantly. So, yes, it is comforting knowing that punks in dark alleys are not carrying guns.
What if someone except Telltale actually did this.. And without making it an adventure game.
One could easily have splitted Mass Effect 2 into neat weekly chunks (and thats how i played it anyhow). It would be like a weekly episode of Star Trek.:)
Dont remember where i read it, but sometimes the reports of haunted places is because of sounds. In one case there was a haunted house where people reported a feeling of "dread". A scientist found that a nearby fan was emiting a sound, which with the right reverb generated a 12-18 dB soundwave. He later reproduced this in a office which wasnt haunted, and once again the testpersons reported feeling afraid.
So bring something to check for sounds!
If you could promise me a relatively big supply of lego-blocks (about 4,080,576,000 bricks in 91 different colors, and add a few decorative items) for about 15 USD. And if you on top of that give me a vague promise for free new blocks in the future, you got yourself a deal!
I dont own one of these fancy modern television set or dvd players and i am too lazy to go outside. So i sit here and wish it was possible to buy moving pictures without leaving my too comfortable chair.
There is a legend that this is possible to buy in the lands far away from here, but the path to the digital shoppe is guarded by a sign saying "Not available in your country".
For a person seeing the movies in the "correct order", they would probably say it was an ever bigger mistake turning the scientific midichlorians into the mystical "force", a heap of mumbo jumbo religious crazytalk.
I would just have explained it by saying that after the jedi hunt, the two remaining jedi no longer had any available technology in which they could prove the midichlorians existance... Or something.
What to say about this game? It is not as bad as the reviewers are saying.
* It have a lot of bugs. It still feels like it should have been a beta.
* It has the most non-combat missions i've ever seen in an MMO. A lot (relatively) of missions is just "beam down, talk to a person, go to another person, scan something, done!".
* The most fun aspect of the game is ship combat, both PvP and PvE. If you liked Pirates of the Burning Sea for its ship combat (and didn't care much for the pirate theme) then you will probably like ST:O ship combat.
* It is pretty consistent story-wise towards Star Trek-canon.
* A few of the models and graphics, mostly the uniforms, ships and spacestations, feel a bit to non-trek.
* Some missions make federation "evil". Example would be a mission where you scout a planet for resources, but some aliens were there first. So as a Federation officer it is your duty to kill them and take their stuff!:O
* It is easy to earn money/credits in game, so unlike other mmo's you don't have to worry about mis-spending them.
I started playing Bridge Commander a few days before i started playing ST:O. I found BC to be very authentic to the Star Trek experience, but a bit boring in the long run.
It is actually a working system, that. In essence, you pay for your favorite morning news-website with your breakfast.
You pay for your breakfast at (your shop), and while eating it you read your news on the web. The webpage take no payment, but that's because (your shop) has already paid the webpage.
Pretty soon everything is free, except our breakfast, which 95% of what we pay goes to pay for ads.

Gametype FPS/3PS and RTS have been premade as an example, but other gametypes can be created.
Do some C# coding, add a few models and you got yourself a nearly done game with multiplayer.:)

Review: Mass Effect 2

· Score: 1
A bit useless with all the models and a miniature giant space hamster in my captains cabin, when i get a closer look at my back than at the bling. This game seriously need a first person view to make it easier to take a closer look at the well-done details.
10 shots is just the first sniper rifle and the 3rd friggin huge sniper rifle.
You will get a sniper that can shoot 60 shots; 5-10 shots per reload to making up for the low damage. So to use only sniper rifle you have to be good at headshots, using shield-penetration, get a few upgrades, and move a bit around to collect enemy-dropped ammo. No problemo.
I usually prefer killing bosses by empty two clips of ability boosted sniper-bullets into their thick skulls. That usually do the trick.

No. Laser tag have fog machines.
Many nice stories here.

Well payed, Microsoft. Well payed..
You should probably tag this as a joke, because these kind of people do actually exist. Though they usually dont read /. afaik.
I second this. At my first try i made a Break-Out clone in 15 minutes (including graphics).
What if someone except Telltale actually did this.. And without making it an adventure game. One could easily have splitted Mass Effect 2 into neat weekly chunks (and thats how i played it anyhow). It would be like a weekly episode of Star Trek. :)
So.. They are trying to teach GALaDOS (Google Artificial Lifeform and Disk Operative System) to speak?
