In Poland, I get daily text messages saying that I won a million or a car, or whatever. For me, this is spam and advertisements that I do not want. I pay for my mobile phone and for every text message I send, call I make and whatnot, but the carrier still insists on sending me spam messages which annoy me. On a bad day it can get to five texts of spam and I can't simply ignore my phone thinking "nah, this is probably just spam" without checking it if it is important.
With a mouse you will be able to aim way better than any other console player. This will give the mouse players an unfair advantage and as such, unless there is a match-making system for "pad-only" games, you won't be allowed to use a mouse.
And we all know such a law will work. As far as I know, selling porn, alcohol and cigarettes to minors is also illegal. Does that prevent kids form watching porn, drinking and smoking? Especially since kids can download porn and games for free, it is not going to change much in how many children play violent games.
Let's say you travel at 98% of speed of light. In 100 years that have passed this way, the world around you (and Earth) would age by tens or hundreds of thousands of years.
I don't know physics well enough to calculate that, but feel free to post the result anyone.
You mean this as a bad/good thing? I love resistive screens. I don't need to use my fingers to select stuff. It's kind of impossible to use a capacitive screen with 1 inch nails.
Call me a bastard, but it would save the family $20 million if that child just died. Sure, helping a child without a leg, or allergic to glucose even, is much more reasonable, because they will eventually get to be adults who have some kind of job and generally can 'have a life' that they can support. But if you spend $500 thousand per year on someone, how do you justify it? For that much money you could keep a lot more children in perfect health and give them an 'ideal' upbringing so that they will have an enjoyable and full life on their own. Life ain't fair. Shame we don't have natural predators to kill such people like me and her.
They are waiting for people to rush and buy PS3 hoping to use the exploit to run otherwise too expensive games. They will update the firmware in a week when word gets round of the exploit and pirates will buy the consoles.
You may be only interested in quality, but read the comments above. H.264 is 'free' in that the end user doesn't have to pay. Encoding, decoding, streaming. All you need a licence for. So if you browser or mp3 player wants to support H.264, guess what? They have to pay for licences. Especially freeware like Firefox or Opera would be screwed over by this.
Resistive touch screen phones with a stylus have been around for a while now. I hate capacitive because you can't have the precision you need with your fingers as opposed to a stylus.
If a company like Cisco has a known trademark and Apple can just march in and use the same name for a similar product, then what is the bloody point in all this? To protect the rich, but screw over the less rich?
Should Apple sue Intel over their i7 Core stuff? And every other iStuff product? Come to think of it, yes. I'd like that. Maybe then all the retarded iNames would be gone.
A better computer analogy is: You want to save on electricity bills so you manually underclock your processor. Only problem here is you get less computing power (grip) from your computer. So it's a stupid tradeoff.
Last I checked, this only worked with RAR files. Something to do with JPG not bothering to check the end of the file for content and RAR not bothering with content until the first recognized sequence of a RAR file is found.
Anyway, if somebody wants to try it out under Windows, open the command prompt (Win+R, type cmd and enter) navigate to your image and RAR file and type: copy/b image.jpg + archive.rar secret.jpg
Now drag your secret file into WinRAR when you want to see the 'hidden' content.

It would be fun if the had a static IP and Google banned him. That would hurt.

I know. That's why I don't play multiplayer games. Imagine shooting people with 100ms ping. There's no way you could hit them!

I'll just leave this here before anyone goes [citation needed].

One of us must be confused.
My dictionaries always said gay is archaic for happy, cheerful.
Last, but not least, they didn't even bother to change the file name. They just added _3_2_3 to the original file name.
Years ago I thought about how Amiga would be the perfect way to reintroduce the concept of a complete computer in a keyboard etc.
You mean a laptop?

Lately, games you PAY for include "unobtrusive" ads anyway.
When the "Designed for Windows" sticker came off by itself after two years of using my ThinkPad, I put that sticker on my wall, next to the window.

They'll just switch to wireless.

I think I'll start a company selling curtains with Goatse on them.

What?
piracy by people in countries entirely too poor to ever pay retail for games
He was talking about other countries, so why not Eastern Europe?
