Are you kidding? That would be horrible! The last thing I want is my boss at work asking why I've been reading erotic transformers meet the Jetsons fan fiction!...Not that I do, that's just an example of something some sick person might be worried about...
You mean the guy who joined the US military just to intentionally leak secret material? They explain very clearly what is going to happen to you if you intentionally leak Secret material when you get your clearance, so why the fuck am I supposed to feel bad that this guy is getting exactly the punishment that he knew he would get?
Ugh. Nice job new slashdot. It kicked me out of my first posting and I had to re-submit this. Apparently it just took both, and then didn't prevent the duplicate.
The point of this isn't to be more open. The point is to make people think about what the CIA can do with today's technology if they could do that with the technology of yesteryear. Making the enemy overestimate your power is an important principle in deterrence.
Yea... I don't think that's true. The goal is to have the enemy underestimate your ability to spy on them, so you can, you know, spy on them.

The problem is every time they try the persistent internet connection stuff someone eventually cracks it and then the only way to play if you have a connection that likes to crash on you is via the pirate version.
I have no idea how this could actually work. Maybe a USB key-card? Or a authenticator like MMOs are using now? The problem is that these solutions would probably eventually get cracked as well and then you've wasted a much bigger investment.
We need a giant leap forward in DRM before PC gaming can regain its lost ground.
The only excuse from that article you linked which I buy is the "There was no demo" excuse. I have a 2 year old system and I'm not positive that "Bulletstorm" is going to run well enough to justify a purchase, and we all know that min/recommended specs are usually bullshit. Do I pirate it and then buy it if it runs well and is fun? I think I'm just not going to play it at all because I don't want it that bad, but that is a contributing factor.
I think that the truth of the matter is we won't get serious support until someone comes up with a form of DRM that actually works. I'm not just talking about not gimping your system, they don't care about that, I'm talking about actually stopping piracy. Everything thus far gets cracked eventually, and when you can choose between paying for a version that gimps your system or getting one that doesn't for free... well, that moral high ground really looks expensive.
People who grew up in the south often cant see how utterly fucked up it is. I moved there for 5 years when I was 22. Its fucked up. If you cant see that then I'm going to guess you own at least one garment of clothing with a confederate flag on it.
And this is why racism keeps coming back. You don't learn this type of racism from your parents, you develop it on your own by living in the US(especially the south.). Regardless of other societal causes of the crime rate disparity, the thing that you see on the ground living day to day life is exactly the racist shit the AC just posted.
The solution?
There isn't one. Just do your best to be as good to the people you meet in your life as you can.
Someone needs to take there toys away from them and stop the nonsensitive before they start testing it on us, which we all know they will, heck disband all military we really just need a small group to protect the environment and or a army that create Harmony between nations.
This HDCP stuff just keeps getting worse. Now I cant watch movies on my projector because its only HD input is component?
Well guess what. I'm still fucking going to watch them. The only difference now is if I want to pay you for them I have to buy a bluray, rip the video off of it in pieces and watch my movie 1/3 at a time or some such bullshit. Or I could download it in HD for free.
Great move film industry, you just made it a bad decision for me to buy things from you.
I couldn't find that story, which depressed me greatly, but I was able to find a story about a armless man who headbutted another man(with two perfectly good arms) to death. I feel like that's a decent substitute.
I hope that to steer right you have to think with the right half of your brain, to steer left you have to think with the left, to go forward you have to use both, and the stop you have to shut it off entirely.
Ok, its a right, a left, straight, then we're there. So just think:
sin(*x)*cos(*x)*dx, u=(*x), du/dx=...
Wouldn't it be cool if I had a pet dragon and we could make art together...
Its missing all ground textures and a lot of other textures, it doesn't run on any setting other than minimum, the screen constantly flickers when you play, you cant customize visuals, it crashes when you load a level for almost everyone, and the list goes on. Its a earlier beta than people are reporting.
If you download and play this you aren't playing crysis 2. This version is quite old. It shouldn't hurt sales.

But it turned out shitty.
What?
as in "I didn't get the job."
... yea, why not.
Get your crazy witchcraft out of here.

Millions of pc pirates can afford a premium pc but not the software? I don't buy the excuses.
Exactly. There is no excuse.
When it you get right down to it its just regular old stealing.
The problem is every time they try the persistent internet connection stuff someone eventually cracks it and then the only way to play if you have a connection that likes to crash on you is via the pirate version.

Its a nice round number. See? God did that.

I'm pretty sure this was a joke.
Woa, Woa, Woa, thats not the narrative most slashdot readers choose to subscribe to. Be careful there.
I guess they just saw how well it went for Egypt and decided it was a win-win.

MTV! Jersey shore!
And we're here.
Because I heard about this one kid who didn't have a single facebook friend in the world.
Its missing all ground textures and a lot of other textures, it doesn't run on any setting other than minimum, the screen constantly flickers when you play, you cant customize visuals, it crashes when you load a level for almost everyone, and the list goes on. Its a earlier beta than people are reporting.
If you download and play this you aren't playing crysis 2. This version is quite old. It shouldn't hurt sales.
Missing textures everywhere, a constant screed flicker, not lined up audio, impossible to play on anything but lowest settings, etc.
I wouldn't worry about this hurting sales, nobody is going to play this instead of the full game.
How do I know this? Uhh, my friend totally heard from his cousin who downloaded it...
Then women should find the winner of this very very attractive. I'm in.
I'll mail an envelope full of blood right away.
