some scripting -- rsync or BTdownload -- would fix this. copy the files to a working location when the update is complete, and then work from there while updates are restarted on the temp dir.
Scripting isn't even necessary, most torrent clients have a feature to move a completed torrent to another directory when completed.
You kidding? Every Warcraft to date had maphack, they went straight to your base, or expansions, and mysteriously they went for expansions with no defense either. So frustrating to fight sometimes. IIRC there was slashdot article about game AI, developers admitted AI was bad and they just use maphack or accelerated build times to make "harder" AI.
What happens to a legit customer whose key has already been guessed and used by a keygen? Won't take the pirates very long to have a working keygen that will use up all the legit keys. Sure the key isn't activated until you buy, but once you do, its fair game for a keygen, and regular customers will lose online play when they can't get online due to key being used or key being blacklisted.
One Repository of the Ancients coming right up. Along with it you get advanced healing, telekinesis and other funky skills (Disclaimer: Side effects include loss of English, severe headache, lack of mental control, and possible death)
The Logitech G11 and G15 gaming keyboards have 54 programmable 'G' keys, you can have them as shortcuts, macros, even scripts (Lua) bound to the keys, along with profiles for each program you use. Allow damm near infinite macros.
Full Disclosure: I work at a college bookstore
Fully agree on the changing editions thing, publishers do it so that it kills off the used book market for that given text. The old copies disappear mainly because wholesalers refuse to buy them back, which is the main source of used books for bookstores. The worst part is when the publisher changes editions, making the old one worthless, but only changes either the problem sets, or the pagination (add some images, redo fonts, stuff I'd expect out of a student trying to make a 4 page paper look like a 6 page one). They also bundle CD's and other study guide stuff, mostly useless. All the while they keep jacking the price up. I'm at a California community college so tuition costs $20/unit, and nearly all classes are 3-5 units. Yet lots of our books go for $100+. In fact we got a 4 unit Accounting class where the book costs $200+. Kinda of a joke here, with most people paying more for books then tuition every semester. I'm surprised piracy isn't huge already, but then again theft is a problem here at my store. Some professors do recognize this, hence they self author, and use cheap binding with no fancy images, and they cost way less (like half) then other books in the given subject area.
Slashdot Mirror
nVidia get $5 per board. IIRC, each manufacturer must send their board in to get SLI certified and pays nVidia 5$ per board for it.
I believe that they were only looking at the consumer line-up of quads (Kentsfield, Yorksfield, Core i7), and not the server lineup (Xeons).
