I wouldn't play Assassin's Creed 2, Command and Conquer 4, or any other game which required a constant internet connection for single player use, regardless of the state of cracks or how low the publisher dropped the price.
Fuck Ubisoft. Fuck EA. They've both lost a paying customer by pulling this bullshit, and I buy a lot of games.
Remember that Windows 7 maximises windows to half of the width of the screen when you drag the title bar to the right or left hand side. Widescreen monitors become cheap two-monitor setups with that configuration.
Look! It's a game which requires that you are logged in to PSN to play it, which will require you upgrade your firmware to the latest version which disables the "Other OS" feature!
Weapons are for offensive action, not defensive. You don't defend against a knife with a gun, you attack a person with a knife by shooting them. Get him before he gets you. And don't give me "it's a deterrent" either; As soon as weapons are legalised, they will be abused. The rapist will mace the victim before they know what's happening because it's readily available. Or are you proposing that only women should receive it? Men are never raped, are they...
Hell, let's give everyone automatic weapons and let God sort 'em out, yeah? That's where this ends.
As for the Terry Childs case, that's a pretty infected issue that's hardly over yet. My personal impression is that Childs was following the rules to the letter even though it should've been obvious that he was putting himself in a bad place...As for the Terry Childs case, that's a pretty infected issue that's hardly over yet.

What? Legalise chemical weapons for public use? How long before it's used in a bar brawl, or when someone's dog barks at a child in the park, or hell the wrist watch goes off when you're checking the time!
What ever happened to not walking down alleyways at night, making sure someone knows where you are when you travel (itinerary-style maybe, for long trips)?
The best thing the law could to is to extend Good Samaritan laws to allow bystanders to interfere in violent situations where one party is either defenceless, or at a severe disadvantage. Right now, I'm too afraid of prosecution if I try and defend someone other than myself, and that's terrible.
That's fair; My Touch Diamond 2 fits neatly under the lip of the recessed clock display (top centre of dashboard) with a charging cable from the in-car USB socket. I can't play music from the phone at the same time, as CoPilot map data is from the card yet the car requires exclusive access to it as removable media. Still, battery lasts a day running satnav so I don't need it plugged in all of the time.
If you want a car mount, try Brodit ProClip - I've not used them, but the folks at xda-developers with them all swear by them. A little expensive, but less than the TomTom unit (£50 for fully adjustable version)
I run CoPilot on my Windows Mobile phone, having used dedicated TomTom units and TomTom software on my old WinMobile device. ALK beats it hands down, and is a good site cheaper.
I run WoW in WINE, and with very reasonable results (I get some visual artefacts, but only single frames of some incorrect polygon shapes). If Valve were working on bundling custom WINE launchers for each game... That might work.
This is an indication of support for the Steam distribution platform, and some Valve games on Linux. Good luck getting EA to build Linux binaries for their games, because Steam doesn't do that for you.
Good on Valve for going this way, and maybe it's the push big publishers need to start telling devs to create native Linux binaries, but don't think for a moment that that this means all Steam games will run natively on Linux.
Plus, they'll be decades old. Some very, very lucky scientist may get a "Hi" back within his lifetime, but he'll no way be alive for the response to "ASL?"
Remember that the most distant object we can see (GRB 090423) is 13.1 *billion* years old. So 13.1 billion years of stuff has happened before we even noticed it existed, and it'll be another 13.1 billion years before we know if that event spawned anything resembling life by today's date.
I have no doubt that there is life in space. We will just never, ever know of it until those who would find it relevant are long dead.
Don't be stupid! The first we'd here about it would be when we learn of a sound file hacking the government firewalls with a 2000 bit encryption on all IPs in 20 seconds.

There's a superfluous "a" in that last word.

Not astroturfing... Seemed appropriate.
So, you agree that a firmware update is required to play this game, and that update will disable the "Other OS" feature?
:)
I'm glad that's out of the way

I DID NOT SEE THIS COMING.
Sorry, that's old hat for us

Apologies for the double paste of the quote.

Pretty much exactly what has gone on here, then.

One word:
Perspective.

Surely that means less of it will end up in the note, and more in the catwalk model's nasal cavity?
Value added!
Yes, but to get root access... That's not a Windows term, is it. Root is the Admin account on Unix-style systems, including Linux.
Why do you think rootkits are called rootkits and not Adminkits?

There is life out there.

Expect your lookups to be backdoored!
MW2: Mercenaries still has, by far, the best intro sequence of any game ever released. Closely followed by the original Dawn of War.
I told my g/f that suspend is unreliable and will make her lose her Facebook friends. Problem solved :)
Don't forget Buzz Lightyear's boot prints.
Yeah, I can see it going badly if you start comparing the lass to Libraries of Congress.
