    I'm fairly certain that's always been the case even when you have the physical media.
     
    My personal opinion is I bought it, if you try to take it away I'll have no moral qualms about pirating it.

  6. Re:Steam and Electronic Arts on Game Distribution Platforms Becoming Annoyingly Common · · Score: 1

    IIRC the procedure to make sure games are always available for offline is to launch and then quit every game, tell steam to go to offline mode, then your suppose to make a backup of a file (you'll have to google it, but I think its Clientregistry.blob). Then go back online, if you ever find yourself w/o internet and a game is giving you lip about launching you use that backed-up file.

    I only get that because of Nick at night, back when Nick at night was the same channel as Nickelodeon, actually I think N@N is now called TV land.

    Unfortunately I think he's being honest, granted we would love to require that but its not going to happen.

  11. Re:Also on Data Breach Costs Top $200 Per Customer Record · · Score: 1

    Less than the encryption solution we've been lusting for. Most of the notification laws are written such that if you've encrypted you don't have to tell anyone about the breach.

  12. Re:bogus numbers on Data Breach Costs Top $200 Per Customer Record · · Score: 1

    And then if you get caught doing that you run afoul of the data breach notification laws, pay ~$204 per record and then get additional fines tagged on for trying to hide it.

    But isn't the ARES-I the smallest of the ARES series, and it matches the Delta-IV max load.

    On a somewhat related topic I just finished Planetes, which I highly recommend.
     
    Its suppose to be hard SciFi for the most part, but one thing that I've always wondered about and I can't really find anything about it is human growth in low gravity. One of the secondary characters was born on the moon, and she was 12y/o and was I guess about 6' tall. I was wondering if there was any truth to that?

    I disagree 100%, maybe its because when I was growing up the only things to drink in the house were Whole Milk or Water. It was actually funny when my two brothers and I all came home from college over some three day weekend my parents tried to play ahead and bought two gallons so we wouldn't run out. It was all gone w/in 24 hours.

  24. Re:You're not alone on For GUIs, Just the Right Degree of Realism · · Score: 1

    From the Wiki article, I haven't read the book, it doesn't seem to say that Text is better than Icons; it says that Icons w/o text are worse than Icon w/ text. I personally agree with that, I can locate something based on its Icon than I can find a string of text, even if they are the same size.

  25. Handbrake is the worst offender on For GUIs, Just the Right Degree of Realism · · Score: 1

    All I have to say about Handbrake is fuck that icon. I don't use the program that often at all. A few months back I wanted to convert some media files, I'm on vista so I hit the Win key and try to type in the app name. Now what was that program called, OK I remember the Icon was a pineapple with a drink next to it; I tried blender and about six different drink names, trying to come up with the name. I ended up having to Google the name
