What moron allows an email to install a keyboard sniffer on his computer. Anti-virus and patches take care of a lot of that. Not to mention the network guys should have caught that one quick.
What?? A/V patches wouldn't do anything if it was custom written. And how the heck are network admins going to catch a few tiny URL posts (assuming the logger sent packets via port 8000) in all the traffic a big corporation generates.
I mean, seriously... the moron may not even have had a good email client that let him know something was running-- and that is ignoring the various overflow bugs that could have been exploited.
You're right, they got a lot of it correct. The thing that bugged me was the "and they seemed to move as one" increadibly-long eclipse. Did you see how fast the planet was coming up? I figure it should have lasted two hours, tops.
This was one game that I was reeealy looking forward to. With 4-person gameplay, each person with a unique mixture of skills (from a pool of over 300), and fully deformable environments (use telekenisis to grab a piller to bash one oponent, while causing the walkway to collapse on another oponent), it looked extremely fun.
Bob Farquhar is the man that turns it into an art. He invented double lunar swingby, necessary for economicaly using gravity to get to other planets.
"It was no coincidence Farquhar had visited his first wife's grave that morning [the date of the main engine burn to decelerate]; December 20 was Bonnie Farquhar's birthday. January 10, 1999, the day the spacecraft was due at Eros, was the fifth anniversary of his civil marriage to his second wife, Irina. The mission's nominal completion date, February 6, 2000, was the anniversary of his church weddings to both Irina and Bonnie.
Farquhar fine-tuned the mission's design to get NEAR to Eros a little earlier than it would otherwise have done, in order to commemorate the loves of his life.
Not only that... but weren't their chips supposed to be morphable? I mean, I would have thought htis NX this was right up their alley. "Download this patch, and our dynamic chip will now support No-Execute flags."
Unless you used something hardware based... say, the KeyCatcher mentioned in an above post. In which case it catches all keypresses, whether you're running OS/2, BEOS, in the BIOS, or Linux.
Of course, since I type in Dvorak, it wouldn't be able to figure out what the heck I'm typing (since I use a software driver to convert a QWERTY keyboard).
What about color calibration?

Does it support ICC profiles? This is something that's really important to me. My old version of Adobe has a tendancy to crash when printing >100MB images, so I've resorted to tweaking in photoshop and printing in Gimp... but it'd be nice to do it all in Gimp.

What kind of simulator is that?! He's driving on the wrong side of the road, and the steering wheel isn't even in the right place. Yeesh. ;-)

You left out Natalie Portman.
No, just when he's starting to write. You see, you hold down on the shift key while you're writing everything but symbols and capital letters.

5 moves to finish the game?! That's one heck of a chain!

Of course, you just know it's going to land on an island. :)
Though I hope it doesn't.
Who says they're going to charge $1/ton?

What happened?
They found him... in the shower. Right. ;)
Just keep it on a scrap of paper, tucked away in your wallet. ;-)
Or do what I do, and make every PIN the same.
At 1100 pounds? I'm not exactly fit, but I think my fingers would get tired...
I knew they had DC back then, but Alternating current? I don't know...
But don't use the CAT-3 stuff. Definitely spring for CAT-5.
I also believe that it's computer hardware manufacturers taking PC gaming out of the mainstream and making it a sport for only the serious few.
Sounds like just what these companies want to do-- shrink their target audience to something completely unsustainable.
They probably just don't have the time to test it.

He lives at Place Vauquelin? Hmm, looks like that's City Hall. Tricky.
Hasn't the entire industry been moving at the same pace? Supercomputers haven't been standing still.
If so, the low end and the high end would increase in performance equally (so it'd be one super-big tractor or 1024 big chickens).
I liked Han so much because he wasn't the hero until the end of the movie. Characters have to grow, to learn, to be interesting.
I always thought Venus was the worst case scenario.
What if it points straight down?
