In any case, any door that people will be behind will necessitate the latter, as otherwise they could get locked in during a fire,
Not necessarily. There could be a physical override on the inside that directly manipulates the latch. This allows an exit, even if the door is locked.
Most locks are picked by [...] bypassing some sort of electronic control system. Rice's idea removes these vulnerable components.
Won't there need to be an electronic control system that determines when you have the correct light pattern? Just bypass (or hack) the light-detection system, and you're in.
Maybe there's a different Ultima Collection from the one I have, but I only got 1-8 and Akalabeth; no Underworld. It's the EA Classics collection, but there may be another available.
As to permission, IIRC, they spoke with Richard Garriot, who supported them on the project. He is the creator, and allowed them to use Lord British (Garriot's trademark, not EA's). Although he can't allow the use of Ultima (unfortunately, EA's trademark), he did allow the use of everything that he can.
As for EA fighting the trademark use, I can't say. Maybe they've decided that the backlash from angry gamers would be too great; maybe Lazarus hasn't registered on their radar yet. If EA does complain, then the Lazarus team may need to rename; however, they have many sources for names that RG has allowed them - Britannia, for example, would work as a game name, and would be recognizable to Ultima fans.
I've been looking forward to this since I heard it was being planned. That was some time before Dungeon Siege was released; in fact, I think it wasn't long after DS was announced that the planning for the Lazarus project started.
The Ultima series were some of my favourite games. I hope that Lazarus can live up to the expectations of the many fans that the originals gained.
Bounce the headers of the message, and possibly some text. Do not bounce any attachments. If the "sender" is real, they will know their own message by that; if it is fake, bandwidth is not overused.
If it's a coder, probably a CD that contains a collection of his work (again, portfolio) would be appreciated.
Unfortunately, many projects are covered under NDAs. While I am working on a personal project that I can show source to, it's nowhere near ready for me to show to a prospective employer. It's a spare-time activity, following a full day of "real" programming, so it doesn't see much progress.
It's a bad sign when you start putting disclaimers in your press releases.
I think it may be a legal requirement. It's something that can affect stock prices, but it's not something that's already happened; therefore it's a forward-looking statement (we think we'll win this), but they can't guarantee the result.
He refers to addresses ending with a dot as "unregular syntax", then later as "no TLD". However, the address with a trailing dot is the canoncial form of a domain name - the final dot refers to the "root" domain, the one that Verisign gets to play with.

Probably not. They explicitly removed it from SGML when they created XML.

Take a look at freedroid. It includes a remake of the original, as well as an isometric, extended version. Still in development, though.

- Create a shell script in a noexec filesystem. For this example, we'll use
/tmp/foo.sh
- Run: '/bin/sh
/tmp/foo.sh'
Yup, the shell script, set as 'noexec', has just exec'ed. For more fun, try this:- Create and compile a C program in a noexec filesystem. For example,
/tmp/bar
- Run: '/lib/ld-linux.so.2
/tmp/bar'
- Watch the fun

A supernova that's really nearby (such as our own sun) could put a huge damper on things, as far as life is concerned.
Remember SiteFinder?

That title makes it look like changes to the port system broke all the ports. Maybe "exceeds" rather than "breaks"?
I skipped #2, as well. I didn't have anything to say about them (2 - feature freeze, 6 - frameworks vs apps)
