Why isn't IIS vulnerable? Does it just assume the headers are done after some amount of time? Does it have a limit to the number of headers it accepts?
Can this even be fixed without technically breaking the protocol (since it sounds like what's going on is correct behavior, theoretically)?
But what a 7 year old or someone who is 60 and has never played games finds frustrating may be pretty easy for a 30 year old who has played games off and on since they were a kid.
This would allow the game to occasionally present a challenge to the 30 year old and give the 7/60 stuff to work against. If it's too hard, they can use it to "skip" that one moment.
How many people here have had a brother/sister/friend get through a "hard part" of some game for them?
I think it's fairly clear she was guilty. There was some doubt, but I'm not surprised she was found guilty at all.
I am surprised at the amount. I figured it would be reduced to be more reasonable. My big problem with all this is the damages. $18,000 per song is 900 CD sales per song at $20 a CD.
For simple infingement (not intentional theft) I could see $100 a song, or $250 a song. But $18,000 is ludicrous.
I was hoping the damages would be overturned as bankruptingly high and unconstitutional. I was hoping we'd get a precedent of vague reasonableness in this kind of thing.
So for $100, you can make all the iPhone apps you want. Even if you sell them to only 100 people, you can do it easily. With the DS and PSP you have to get official dev kits, get your game approved, find a publisher....
This doesn't surprise me. Even if they started out on 32 bit IDs, they must have realized this was coming at some point and upgraded everything to 64 bits. It's no surprise Twitter was ready for this.
It's interesting that 3rd party apps broke. Why would anyone store the ID of something in a signed variable? I can understand not thinking of using a long, but why a signed int?
Agreed. They could put little radio receivers all over the place to measure the signals, but they wouldn't be able to notice the signal drop unless his receiver was practically on top of the other.
Neat story. It would take a ton of wire to get that much power, and the phone call is a total fabrication.
You'll have to select a power company and only get power from them. They'll find some way to track your usage (probably an electric chip on the device which... requires power).
Now to keep power sorted out right, each company will get their own frequency. It will be against the SDMCAaPDA (Super-DMCA and Puppy Disbursement Act) to explain to anyone the concept of an antenna or a diode, as those could be used to steal power.
But don't worry, they'll make the power broadcast towers look like 50 foot tall lamp-posts so they will "blend in" to the scenery and not be an eyesore.
Apple didn't jump into the MP3 player market, it had existed for few years first. They though about it.
They didn't jump into the cell phone market either. How many years did Blackberries and Windown Mobile devices exist before the iPhone came out? Smart phones were not new by any stretch.
Apple waits and thinks things out so that it's a good product (iPod) instead of just jumping in with a bullet list of features (Zune).
That I'll agree with. The biggest wow for me is the $100 iPhone, but that was predicted.
It's a bunch of neat stuff, and I'm happily awaiting OS 3 for my iPhone, but nothing amazing.
I'd really like a iPhone 3GS. I'd love the camera. I bet there are some really neat games for the compass. But I'm under contract and there is no upgrade plan. I'd have to pay $600 just to get the same storage as my current phone.
Really? The fact they seem to have seriously updated the Finder back end code is good. The faster mail is nice. The full Exchange support is going to be huge for many people.
It's $30. You're not forced to upgrade. You're not being asked for $400 for Business Ultimate Platinum edition.
Just because Apple isn't competing in the $200 netbook category doesn't mean they are screwing up. It means they care about the customer experience.
When did Apple ever release "me too!" products to jump into temporarily hot markets?
I liked how AT&T got booed twice. Once for no tethering, once for no MMS until July (or whatever).
I love my iPhone, but it's amazing that after basically saving AT&T from irrelevance, they still don't get it. How hard could it POSSIBLY BE to have MMS support available on day 1? Only every other phone on their network supports it.
You don't move on a whim, you plan where you live for the future when you have kids.
Some sacrifices have to be made ahead of time.
Of course, you have 5-7 years between finding out you'll have a kid and when they're in school. You should be able to plan and execute a move in that much time.
No it's not. People could move closer to schools so they could walk, or change their schedule so they could drive their kids. It's about choices and sacrifices.
Now if your comment is "An ever increasing number of people don't want to be inconvenienced by sacrificing for their kids", that I'd agree with.
Wow. Clearly your qualified to comment, having never touched the device you are disparaging.
I've got an iPhone. I love the thing. Lots of people own them because they are "the thing", but many of us actually made an informed choice. It works well, does what I need (occasional texting, works as a phone), syncs with my Mac, and has a fantastic UI. It's the first phone I've used that feels like the UI was actually designed instead of accumulated. The app store and all the great games and apps are just huge icing on the cake (I realize that exists to a small part in the WM space).
For the $800 comment, do you have any idea what a top of the line blackberry costs without contract? It's about the same. Rumors have the Pre around that price too.
As for the Pre, it's interesting. Multitasking seems like the killer 'app' for it, but I seriously worry about battery life and responsiveness. It seems like just trying to push computer conventions onto a phone. The iPhone idea makes more sense to me (although more memory for faster launching would certainly help).
It's unfortunate that the thing feels cheap, especially considering how much you'll have to pay.
The keyboard sounds like a killer bit. If you don't care about a physical keyboard, an iPhone seems like the way to go. If you want a physical keyboard, Blackberrys are clearly the gold standard. The G1 is worse than that, but it's not bad. The Pre sounds very unfortunate. If the keyboard is as bas as they say, it could be a major problem for sales. That is if the supposedly limited supply doesn't kill them.
I know some people who might get one. I can't wait to play with one. It will be interesting to see how it does.
I'm also surprised that the Javascript based applications (except for some "exclusive partners" who pay big $$$) isn't getting ragged on more. It was clear how much of a difference it made on the iPhone to get out of that. Even though they'll have all the features exposed through special JS stuff, I doubt it will work well for games.
Remember folks: once it's a mental disorder, your therapist can charge your insurance to "fix" it to the tune of 1-2 hours per week, every week.
If it's a personality flaw, people have to pay for the therapy themselves.
This kind of stuff (bitterness, generic meanness, "depression" to the tune of "I'm not enthralled with life every moment") is a mental illness because insurance has to pay.
Let's pretend that ethanol works exactly like gasoline. No extra corrosion, etc. It still seems like nothing but a money grab by corn / sugar farmers to me. No data I've ever seen makes it seem more useful than gasoline. It's a waste of food.
Now if we can produce cellulosic ethanol, that could be really useful.
But we can't right now (at least anywhere near cheaply). Corn ethanol isn't useful. Give it up.

Makes sense.
But wouldn't you run into the connection limit of the OS at some point? Or is that just way too high to be a practical problem (say 16 million)?

Nope.
But the guilty verdict? Unsurprising.
So you're saying software designed for mobile phones doesn't work as well on a little computer like device as software which was designed for little computer like devices?
Wow. Amazing. Incredible.
And they're the same age too!
No, wait, Windows CE is 13 years old. It's had a little more time to design the window manager for different screen sizes.
Available for a while now, see here.
It's not that great. The tilt control feels lose, and the levels feel very small.
Kinda neat, but just not "there".

32-bit is with alpha.
You're right. 24 is good, 18 is what they are.
That I'll agree with. The biggest wow for me is the $100 iPhone, but that was predicted.

I'll just have to wait for next year's model.
Nope. The 8GB version is only a 3G, not a GS. That means it has the old camera, no compass, etc.
Pretty good deal actually.
I wonder if they'll kill the $100 version when they run out of stock, or keep it for the market share.
It's nice they have a much greater color gamut.
But that makes me wonder if these are just real 32-bit panels instead of the 24-bit panels they've been using (which is REALLY CHEAP of them).
Glossy though? I agree. I don't intend to upgrade my MBP as long as I can hold out, because I don't want that glare.
Really? The fact they seem to have seriously updated the Finder back end code is good. The faster mail is nice. The full Exchange support is going to be huge for many people.

Now if your comment is "An ever increasing number of people don't want to be inconvenienced by sacrificing for their kids", that I'd agree with.
If you are so worried the school isn't trustworthy enough to leave you kid on the bus, what other choice do you have? I guess you could carpool.
I don't like the public schools anyway, so I'd say home school.
I agree he's overreacting (although I would certainly go talk to the principal asking how this happened).
But if you want to be in that school, and not use the bus, you're only other choice is to drive unless you live pretty close to the school.
Why not just drive her to and from school yourself? That would provide additional time with your daughter as well.
You wouldn't have to trust the school to not lose her on the bus system
You don't need a subcutaneous lo-jack.
