They don't do it very often but it's been done and it will be done: bnetd PvPGN - Supports Diablo 1,2,LoD, Star Craft:bw, Warcraft 3 and it's expansion.
PvPGN even supports westwood games!
Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge.
Now it supports two dune games and NOX even!
It's quite a piece of work.
MMO servers have also been reverse engineered traditionally:
Lineage servers.
WoW servers
MU online (when it was all the rage)
Countless others...
Hell, games that didn't have multiplayer have been made to have multiplayer:
Kailera enables you to play Arcade and other console games(each with it's own emulator like mame etc.) online! I find this rather amazing where we've come.
Fallout 2
GTA3, VC,San Andreas
So i have a trust in "the community". People want to play multiplayer and there's nothing that the publishers of the games can do to stop them.
That would be interesting to watch, also aren't there trolltastic vandalisations about current events(whenever that may be) that could land VDM in quite some trouble.
$500 high-purity copper wire AUDIO cable
And now for the Customer Reviews:
A caution to people buying these: if you do not follow the "directional markings" on the cables, your music will play backwards. Please check that before mentioning it in your reviews.
I was disappointed. I consider myself an audiophile - I regularly spend over $1000 on cables to get the ultimate sound. I keep my music-listening room in a Faraday cage to prevent any interference that could alter my music-listening experience. Sending any signal down ordinary copper can degrade the signal considerably. While ordinary listeners might not notice, to somebody with even a rudimentary knowledge of sound, the artifacts are glaring. Denon should have used silver wiring (hermetically sealed inside the rubber sheath to prevent any tarnishing, of course), which has a significantly higher conductivity than copper. Furthermore, Denon needs to treat the wires they use in the cable with a polarity inductor to ensure minimal phase variance.
Needless to say, I returned the cable and wrote an angry letter to the so-called engineers at Denon.

I knew my day was going to improve when the truck pulled up at my home with this cable deep within. No ordinary truck, this one was Holy White, and the gold Delivery logo sparkled like a thousand suns reflected through shards of the purest ice formed with unadulterated water collected at the beginning of the universe. The driver, clad in a robe colored the softest of white, floated towards me on the cool fog of a hundred fire extinguishers. He smiled benevolently, like a father looking down upon his only child, and handed me a package wrapped in gold beaten thin to the point where you could see through it. I didn't have to sign, because the driver could see within my heart, and knew that I was pure. Upon opening the package, an angelic choir started to sing, and reached a crescendo as I laid this cable on my stereo system. Instantly, my antiquated equipment transformed into components made from the clearest diamond-semiconductor. The cable knew where to go, and hooked itself into the correct ports without help from me - all the while, the choir sang praises to the almighty digital god. With trepidation, I pushed "play," and was instantly enveloped in a sound that echoed the creation of all matter, a sound that vibrated every cell in my body to perfection. I was instantly taken to the next plane, where I saw the all-father. I knew with my entire soul, that all was good in the world.
But then I realized the cable was blue, so I only gave it one star. I hate blue.
not just for button_layout, all options/configs. Maybe the search engine can list options by relevancy (this would need the options to have descriptions etc). Basically a google-esque MAN search engine.
DirectX 10 WORKS on XP, I'm using it on XP64 even!
That bit about XP not supporting the DX10 because of new os architecture was a huge load of bullshit!
Slashdot Mirror
That would be Unreal Tournament Classic. Oh and Duke nukem/Quake3. Those 3.

And the sniper rifle. I've always been a stay out of harms way type of player:)
I was going to buy a ps3. But now i never will, even if they restore the function.
And nothing of value was lost.
Hm yes, geeks are consistently miss represented. Where's the type 2 geek! We tall and slim geeks need more exposure.
No the sun is deadly.
It deserves more then the sports the US and Europe play anyway.
Spacecraft-humanoid-technomage come on! You gotta buy anything with that in the title :D

What are these "pop-cap" games and the like doing on steam? EH, EH? Get this filth away from us!
Congratulations you've just rediscovered the ... uh... there was a word for the entire setup you described, i just can't remember what it was called.
loopback is messy, use 0.0.0.0 instead. No connections to your own host, i actually run a simple http webserver on my machine.
One would think that with the amount of fraud coming from Nigeria the isps would cut that place off...

I don't buy the stupidity excuse, COMPANY_NAME_HERE knowingly takes advantage of its customers and has done so for years. Just my two cents.

So what? That doesn't mean they have to rest in coffins full of the earth from their homeland... Or does it...
How about having all options search-able via some sort of search engine built into the system?
What the hell is all the commotion about anyway. It's DAMN GUI! FIX IT YOURSELF!
He wrote a script, he could have carried the laptop closed and in his backpack and it would still have worked. Think about it derp.
They are unwilling, DX10 will run on XP. In fact I have it installed right now, Microsoft would rather pretend it didn't!

I'd like to see how they work this one out with Skype and other VOIP providers.
It's an all digital system, they WILL know.
What is this Fox news? Come on people!
