a, 2, d?
WTF? Back in my day we used 1, 2, 3; a, b, c; or I, II, III...
Seems a person can just grab any random 3 characters to make an ordered list nowdays.
Now get off my lawn.
Simple solution. Charge the sender for the messages that were received by the system, processed and rejected because they were/are known attacks and then drop them. Spammer/hacker gets to pay, users dont get infected. Not like they dont ever drop other messages that were paid for.
How many devices are going to be legitimately receiving 500 messages at once? A 1-2 second delay between messages seems just fine to me. It would preempt most if not all over flow errors like this simply because they arent received fast enough to over flow.
"Currently, the tags are expensive to produce - around $5 (£3) each. This is, in part, because the early prototypes require a lens and a powered LED.
However, the researchers believe the technology could be refined so that tags were reflective and require no power.
"We already have prototypes which are completely passive," said Dr Mohan.
In this form, they could cost around 5 cents each, he added. "
Actually, I'm guessing that for any player who has been subscribed continously for more than X years it will be streamed picture-in-picture on-demand from the WoW client. You dont want to make your loyal customers stop playing do you?
You write your music. You play your music. You convert your music into the game. We take the profit.
Note also how it says they get a 30% cut AFTER mtv and microsoft take theirs. So if they both get X% and Y% then they arent getting 30% of the revenue. They are getting.3*(R-X-Y)% and who knows what that really is.
A vulnerability to opening an Excel sheet in IE? How many people do that on a regular basis? How many EVER do it? I dont think I can remember having ever tried to nor needing to. How is this newsworthy?
Sounds a lot like Dungeon Siege except that your skill levels rose as you used them, so what you used a lot you progressed in while others fell behind. Items were restricted based on skill and attribute level.
Agreed. It pisses me off how much money is wasted on "professional", college and public school sports. School sports REALLY piss me off. School is there to learn, not for the public to pay for two dozens kids' entertainment on the football team. You want to play sports in school? Then YOUR family should pay for it, not mine.
In most games, there is a clearly defined good vs evil arrangement. I dont think many would view the baddies in Bioshock as anything other than baddies. In fact, it seems there are three categories of bad guys in games that are always a safe bet that people wont mind killing. Zombies, Nazis, and aliens. Some games break out of that and have a morally gray story, especially RPGs. Fallout 3 for example. You can be a saint and save Megaton from the bomb, or blow them up in the first 30 minutes. I always tend to be the good guy myself, I just dont see the appeal of being evil, even in a game. Taking it a bit further, games like Manhunt (never seen it nor played it I might note) and GTA (same, no interest) are an even darker gray. I dont know squat about Manhunt, but from the little I do I know I dont want to know more. I think wanting to play that crap already shows signs of being a sick bastard, not that its going to turn you into one out of an angel.

Just sign up for twitter and a blog. You will have dozens of devoted, mind-less followers in no time.

No, that just means you got screwed in advance.

If thats true, maybe they do have potential.

"windows error messaging pointed to a chipset failure"
I interpret this as meaning blue screen, in which case your attempt to show off is moot.

Dang it. I didnt mean to use both a decimal & percent in the equation. You guys know what I meant.

I really doubt it was maliciously done to try and trick any of those 13000 customers into really paying it.
well, they are more likely to have done extensive research on their own about it...
wouldnt that be the patch that doesnt exist then?

In the video he says he is running it from home and it was the longest range test they have done so far.
