But, still Cryptographic Thriller isn't an oxymoron, the thrill could be from deciphering what's encrypted, and something doesn't have to make sense, to be a thrill. Some drugs are like that, you don't *really* know WTF is going on chemically, or in general, but it's a thrill. There are some movies like that as well, on the first viewing, you get a couple glimpses of what the whole story might be, but it's not till the second (or more) viewing (deciphers) that it makes complete sense.
What about $Ripper? Unless $Ripper got $Product from $Thief but even then $Publisher usually(always?) makes a profit/breaks even from the theft, just not $Local_Retailer
Pfft, n00b... If you're going to rob a bank, you probably should make sure that the get-away car is parked properly, and otherwise is, or appears legal. Otherwise you might alert authorities sooner, or have to deal with a cop/metermaid when you come out, and that's a risk, to you, and to them, when most bank robbers don't actually *want* to harm/kill anyone. Even if the robbers managed to pull out, looking "normal", and talked to the cop/maid and continue away, that's still probably 2 or more minutes for the people who do now know they robbed a bank to catch up with the cops now having their license plate, and vehicle description in the database, being at the bank, at that time, with X people in it, who look like Y.
Secondly, what are we actually defining as texting? Technology changes so rapidly that a measure like this can only be relevant for a short time.
Exactly, if there is any banning/law making to do, it should be towards the use of the (type of) device entirely while the vehicle is in motion. Do you get a larger fine if you are talking, than texting?
Such as from a volcano, which can reach into the stratosphere, not as high as the shuttle, but probably far enough. Or perhaps from the other direction, a (or many) comet burning up in the atmosphere.
But time exists with, or without the game using it, time plays a part in Where's Waldo. So wouldn't 4D, be 5D, with 3 spatial dimensions, and 2 time dimensions?
Yeah, I know about that, but I think the reason that it is stagnant, is because it's not really a part of "Slashdot", it's off in it's own little URL world, it should be merged into slashdot.org
(-1 Offtopic) But, I've sort of hoped that a site, such as Slashdot, should somehow open-source their site code, it a sort of "community", and considering the context of the site, the amount of users, there are probably about 5,000 people capable of contributing decent code/help, and there has to be a rather significant number of those that are willing to.
Add a section devoted to it, then Polls, about which contribution should be implemented, etc. Articles/Submission are sort of (controlled) "open-source", why not the site itself?
I think anyone in the field *should* be worried about it, or at least quite concious about the possibility, just not intensely paranoid about it. It would be better to implement steps and precautions before it happens, rather than after we have already made a self-aware-like computer with the potential for causing havoc to us, or anything else critical, or significant to the planet (as we know it).
If we don't start thinking about it now, then exactly when should we? After it's "taken over", destroyed someone/thing?
I think the main reason for the "We own yer shit dude", is not because they intend on printing it out and selling it at a Gallery, or using it any other way similar, but simply that if they didn't have that clause, someone would inevitably try and sue them with shit like "which server is my photo sitting on? I never gave you permission to put it on that server", or for that matter, which State the server resides in, or even country for that matter. Also depending on your settings, almost all of what your Friends can see (Images, Videos, Notes), can be seen by anyone else on Facebook, so it might be there to thwart some idiots attempt to sue over invasion of privacy because "Sue-Ann told me that, Billy Cock Smoker's dogs groomer saw a picture of me ____", etc, etc, etc.
Besides, Facebook reduces everything to the quality of shit (excluding text) anyways, so most of it would only really be "valuable" content, if they went back to 1996 with it. What good is a 604x604 JPEG, to anyone? Outside of maybe a wallet photo, it's barely SDTV quality. And whatever the hell they trans-code video to, which is still limited to that resolution. It's not worth really worth a license to either restrict, or keep-free the content, with the exception of pictures of people, but that's probably already covered under 5 or 6 different overlapping laws, contracts, "acts", clauses, and agreements.
So, everyone who fought against the Allies in WW2 had a disease, then? A lot of Axis thought they were "fighting the good fight". Both sides sacrificed a lot, for what could have been resolved with a few re-written and/or new and/or removed treaties, a couple beers, and some hookers in a few days, or at least, a couple decent snipers. They were both diseases, just not the same disease.
That might help some, but what about: 1. Places that have 40 computers, running 3 different browsers. 2. Your friend/relative that comes over with their laptop 3. Embedded browsers in applications (even if they use your FF/Gecko does it load NoScript for those?) 4. That time you disabled NoScript cause something was "all fucked up", and you may as well "test" 5. What if someone got to the NoScript update servers? 6. ??? 7. Loss of profit!
Although I agree (about LimeWire, KaZaA, etc)... the only reason this isn't happening to BitTorrent, is because they haven't figured out how yet, not because they think it's some infallible, untouchable, system nor that they think everyone should be using it instead of the others.
Or, only pedophiles will use iPredator, seriously what fuckin genius thought this name up? Pretty much any way you look at it, is has a sort of negative connotation, Predator? Are you here to destroy websites? Fantasizing about being a Raptor, bursting through the gateways to consume some IP Ranges, RaWr...
Or were they going after iPod, like somehow the name is what people actually like... "what rhymes with iPod... iPred?, wait it can't be *that* obvious, IP-Red, no wait, IPRED...ATOR... fuck yeah!, I R Predatorz.."
Maybe history is repeating itself, if the first test they did caused some sort of temporal loop at the atomic level and that's what's been causing all the subsequent problems.
Yeah, till the day one of them changes the orbit of what would have been just something to observe in the sky, to something that knocks us clean out of our orbit.
But the RW layer is (usually/always?) thicker than a normal CD-R, and is probably less prone to cracking/peeling/etc. Complete guestimate, but I would be willing to bet that an RW, that was only burned once, would last longer than CD-R.
I've got RW's from about 8 years ago, that get re-burnt about 4 times a year, that still work fine.
Especially since you know there is going to be a "crackdown", the "War On Electricity", originally, there might have been 2 hours a day when you were restricted, then 3, then 4... then that, plus all of Sunday from 9am to 5pm, then section X of City Y. Forcing people into some form of extra tax on electricity because you can't avoid the "limited" hours. Giving more money to the electric companies, so they can what, reduce the electricity output even more?
Then you get some weird prohibition, people selling electrical equipment on some black market, devices to by-pass the restrictions, throw some people in jail, that'l teach them, require people to get some form of Electrical Consumption Identification, Enter Your ECI To Run Your Stove...
What? Slippery Slope? It's fucking hot out, and I can't use my air-conditioner, leave me alone!

With 9 games to it's credit, it's probably more worthy than some others that were mentioned.

Just to point something else out though...
