The government's Computer Emergency Readiness Team recommends home users make their networks invisible to others by disabling the identifier broadcasting function that allows wireless access points to announce their presence.
I'm skeptical about the frequently discussed difficulty of adoption if it's well planned. If most of the companies tools are web-based (and not forced to use MS due to dependencies on ActiveX, and the like) then it's entirely feasible that you wouldn't need to retrain employees much at all. The next major hurdle is email and document publishing. I'd be curious to see their adoption plan and the results.
I'd say the major danger now is lack of genetic diversity (which is already a problem to farming); as such a thing is already critically bad for banana farmers. Though I'm glad this moral objection is moot.
This is one of those "useless" facts that you might be really glad you know one day when you are accidentally dealing with an old NT network and can't figure out why your machines aren't talking. Still silly, though.
TFA uses 'it' so many times between 3 companies I have no idea what's going on. It sounds like a kindergarten argument over possession of a sandbox - where the sandbox is assets and IP.
I liked Max Payne, and for the most part Hitman. I found Resident Evil hard to follow, and a little shallow, but it wasn't all bad. Silent Hill was good for a horror movie.
As a helpful tip; I went into my phone's options and pointed the WAP gateway to localhost, now attempting to reach that page throws errors, and doesn't bill me:)
I disagree; There's a very different culture in the United States compared even to Canada with respect to how people view lawsuits. In Canada you don't threaten lawsuits lightly because you know it's going to be costly, however I've been threatened with lawsuits from shady apartments here. I really think that having the ability for a lawyer to agree to work for a portion of the settlement leads only to frivolous lawsuits. With that said, dragging out an individual's livelihood in years of cases until they can't afford to represent themselves is irresponsible; and I admit I have no idea how to prevent that.
I think he means with respect to the bottom line: if they want people to buy their games making them a better experience is certainly the direction to go. This is exactly what improving sales without BS (and ineffective) DRM looks like. Serious business. I'm thinking he's not being serious enough I'd have thought it to be megaserious.
You make a good point about developers having admin power on production machines; which could be extended to showing (one reason) why dev boxes should not be running production code (there was an article a while ago about testing on production boxes that would be relevant.)
Do you feel the same way about developers having admin rights on their development workstations (which I think is what others are commenting about)?

This is true; and we can and do vote with our wallets. Griping is just fair warning.
I'm pretty sure the PSN outage was way more watched.

That never worked.

Do people play with toys more often than they play with tools? Tonight, we investigate.
Maybe there is a bubble and it's just elsewhere.
Regardless of the platform I game on I feel that Portal might fall in there somewhere.
Betamax is still very popular in commercial television: many news stations record on Beta.
There's a really interesting article about that here http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/3030/keeping_the_pirates_at_bay.php. It's written by a developer of Spyro: Year of the Dragon. It is another really interesting take on how to implement copy protection.

Then they can pay out to contractors that develop more prudent solutions. Not everything is a conspiracy (though not everything isn't).

This is how I originally read the title; I was promptly sadly mistaken.

So this stuff I've been wearing serves a purpose? Cool!

Awesome.
A lot of kids just suddenly turned 18...
Wait, what?

I think you meant to say: 9/11 could have been a major tragedy which we mourn and deal with directly but instead ...
Totally. My years of work are backed up.
