It's free, it's fun and it requires little more than a few minutes for each battle.
That means that I can play for 10 minutes or one hour, all depending on my free time.
I've been playing on average half an hour every day for the past year and I'm now on the tier VIII vehicles, still a long road for the top tanks in the game, but that's the beauty of it, you can go at your own pace.
I'm using IOS 7.0 (11A465) on a iPhone 4S.
I've tried to do the hack for half an hour and the phone will never bypass the lock.
There was also a rumor about taking a picture then sharing it thus accessing your contacts, but then again that is not true. The phone will not allow you to share or send a picture until it's lock has been removed.
People are getting this truly out of proportion, why do they care so much about the locking ability of a phone?
If I was a thief and I really wanted your data/phone, I would just start breaking your fingers until you gave it all.
If you are truly the paranoid kind, why do you keep a smartphone in the first place?
Seems he also got fed up with the online problems of SimCity and decided to go for the next best thing, real life SimCity.
Hell, he gets a triple package, Sims, SimCity and Transport Tycoon.
You guys are just jealous.:D
Most of our projects are irrealistic, so after a roll of preventive measures we just gave up...
Measures attempted:
New priority levels - We moved from 3 priority levels to 5. Everybody kept using the highest available...
Re-Evaluation of requests by an independent team - Time lost in the team = time lost in delivery...
Mandatory rule book for project requests, namely better designed requests - Administration kept ignoring the rules and we could do nothing about it...
The web site for the Portuguese Electric Company (EDP) is there.
That seems a major site by my standards.
I might be suspect of course, beeing Portuguese.:D
Truly, job change has been the pivotal point in my career.
Every time I change company (willingly) I get a promotion and a pay rise, only exception was when I delivered my resignation and my current company made me a generous counter-offer to keep me (I stayed).
If I hadn't delivered my resignation I would still be doing the same thing for the same salary, few companies that I know promote inside people, most prefer to pick an outsider...:(
Before leaving my company, I implemented a forward rule on my mail account so I would get any new mails untill the account was closed.
I had lots of contacts and there is always someone who isn't aware that we left, that way I could warn anyone who mailed me.
To my complete surprise, 3 months after leaving I received a user and password for the VPN network which allowed me to log in to the corporate network and do whatever I pleased.
Why, you ask? Well they hired someone with the same name as me (first and last) and instead of deleting my account and creating a new one, they just reset the password and gave him my old account.
If I hadn't warned the IT Staff at my old company to remove the forward rule, I would still have access to everything...
God, I'm old.:P
I still remember getting the shareware version on floppy from a games magazine. Great game, lots of fun. Then came Doom and switched cable two player Doom... ahhhhhhhh
Actually on a real bike you dont "steer" that much, you turn by tilting your body.
Steering a bike like you would a car equals a bad crash.
Most racing bikes have a very limited steering angle.
I know I would choose to keep quiet, but I'm a coward (even if not anonymous).
It must have taken a lot of courage to leak all that info.
Kudos for him, I wish I had that kind of self sacrificing will.
6000 years?
Where did you come up with that number?
Earth's age is around 4.5 billion years.
6000 years would be the age of the Homo Sapiens or something similar...
Wait a million years and you will be rich, with ocean panoramas on your lands, private resorts, etc.
I'm finding a real estate agent, I think there are some good ones in Nigeria...
Wing Commander was and his a great game.
The story line did got a bit cheesy, it looked like a Sopa Opera towards the end, but it was fun, it was great and it even had Mark Hamil.
I believe it was on Wing Commander II that your carrier got destroyed right at the start. Great storyline.
Epic I would say

Truth is Windows will be around for a long long time, even if not on the home business, there is just too many corporations relying on windows for it to sink.
I do believe the user base at home will decline heavily (Free Product vs Highly priced crap), but the corporate business wont trust a Google OS for many years to come.
Big companies (Banks specially, I work at one) are very slow adopters.
About a year ago, while making a blog entry, I decided to make a word up.
As a side joke, I decided to link it to Wikipedia, so I went there and created the word and its meaning, both in English and Portuguese Wikipedia.
One year afterwards, my make up word is still on the Portuguese Wiki.
The one on the English Wiki was removed a few minutes after I wrote it and I received a friendly warning from the editor, something on the lines of "I laughed a lot with your entry, but I cant allow it, since its bogus".
Currently on Google I get 128 hits for my word...
The fault is on the current elected officials.
If they were present at parliament like they are supposed too, this would not happen.
We vote for them to be at parliament, not for them to go only they feel like it.
Even if the vote would only take place next week, its their obligation to be at parliament.
Pity its never like that, not in Portugal and not in France it seems...
The most spoken languages in the world are:
Chinese
English
Spanish
Portuguese
So I would go with Chinese (if you are interested in foreign new markets) or Spanish/Portuguese (since if you learn one, the other is very similar).
I personally speak French, Spanish, English and Portuguese (Native from Portugal).
It may be true that Spanish in the EU is only spoken in Spain, but it's widely spoken in the Americas.

That should have been mentioned, it was the RTS that started it all.
I would vote for that.
Blackadder for the win!
Next you are saying that 1984 isn't a documentary as well...
6000 years? Where did you come up with that number? Earth's age is around 4.5 billion years. 6000 years would be the age of the Homo Sapiens or something similar...
I wonder if it counts since it is:
Episodic content............. Check
Web Posted................... Check
Already Up in 1993.......... Check
Just my 1 cent of useless info...
Wait a million years and you will be rich, with ocean panoramas on your lands, private resorts, etc.

I would guess this is one of the April Fools stories of the day. Lots of them are beeing cast on Slashdot. I specially enjoy the twitter one.
