$50 show? Yeah, you have not been to Vegas in awhile. I moved here about 6 months ago, and unless you are going to a small concert somewhere, expect all shows to be a minimum of $100. They are normally in the price range of $125 to $200
When the correct sequence of buttons was pushed, the machine displayed false double jackpots. No casino officials noticed because the bogus jackpots weren't being recorded in the machine's internal system.
I am unsure if you read the entire article. They did use some type of 'debug' to ensure winnings. It says in the article that the person would hit a combination of buttons to win. It is like the 4,2,3,1 trick on soda machines to get into the debug menu for them. If I got caught hopping into the debug menu for a soda machine to cash it out, that is illegal. If I get into the debug menu for a soda machine and change the price of everything to 25 cents, that is illegal. It is tampering with the system. These guys hit a combination of buttons to do the same. They were tampering.
See, you are already starting to get pissed at that kind of person. It's cool, I had to deal with one person who was really bad at it at my last job, and he was a.Net programmer. Ok, no more discussion about that since I started getting a little angry from just thinking about that guy, but we all know these guys.
I saw this guy actually walk out of an important meeting because his code had a bug, and then he blamed the server (no, it was his code, so I was laughing on the inside).
I call this the Programmer's Ego. We all know this person. They are the person where no matter what, their code is like God himself typed it up, and any questioning that code results in them flipping out about how their code is amazing and that stuff. Those guys suck to deal with because they refuse to accept if there is a flaw in their code. It gets old and annoying
I have my own "internet" box that also run cable. The total cost of the entire system to build? About $200 or $300. It is a pc with Windows 7 on it and it uses Windows Media Center. Why would they try to push out more hardware when the software company already has a solution? I guess it seems like a waste or resources to me. They could be working on security for Windows 7 or getting more people working on stuff for IE9 or something. There is absolutely no need for a Microsoft set top box when for the same price any reasonably intelligent person can build a small pc with W7 on it and just use WMC instead
Maybe if the US government was not so worried about making corporations happy and turning the USA into the CSA (corporate states of america), we would not have any of these problems
See, we need Kirk to promote these books. He is so amazing he could kill a man on Live TV, and we would all brush it off saying, "Well it is Kirk, so I am ok with it"
Please read what you are posting up. You posted up something that explains the Skype outage, and then posted up something else asking if this caused the Skype outage.
"As Pure as the driven snow" Does that mean that it is as pure and untampered as the snow somebody has driven on? If that is the case, then pure as the driven snow is dirty, smashed, and just a mold of its former self
Didn't the Anonymous attacks get more publicity after Wikileaks? People are slowly moving over and listening, but a problem is that most for profit media in a state of crisis is state run media. Do you honestly think CNN or Fox News is going to keep a story about soldiers taking out kids or journalists?
When the media brushes serious incidents under the carpet, most of America is dumb enough to do the same. It is unfortunate, really, but eventually, one of these leaks is going to stick.
If you are a political power, maybe you shouldn't be a total douche. If not, places like WikiLeaks will continue to just push out document after document showing it
I am not too worried about that. My main gaming pc is Windows (would not apply), my server is Unix (does not apply), my netbook is Windows (does not apply), and I have no use for a tablet. My phone is not a smart phone, but an older Nokia phone (does not apply).
It is about time people started taxing the people who buy Apple products.
Or they stuff it full of those crappy color Macs (you know, those ones that got the multi-color idea off of Gameboys) and maybe some Apple 2e's to result in a concentration of Mac suck so bad that North Carolina is kicked out of the US
"Symbology? Now that Duffy's relinquished his "King Bonehead" crown, I see we have an heir to the throne! I'm sure the word you were looking for was symbolism. What is the ssss-himbolism there? Let me explain it to you. In Greek and Roman mythology, when you died, you would have to pay the toll to Charon, the boatman who ferried you across to the gates of judgment. This made sure the dead came to atone for what they did during their lives, Detective Dollypoposkallius."
So DDoS'ing visa.com affects human rights? This did not mess up their back end systems for processing transactions or anything. All that happened was that people could not access the front-end, but it effected human rights? Fail post is good at posting fail articles

How do you know the battery life of an iPhone when Flash is used when it is not supported?

So people have to pay an Apple Tax for owning a iPod XL (err, I mean iPad)? Yeah, I can live with that.
