But those publishers also pay (rent) for the space on the shelf, so do feel too bad. That's part of what makes it hard for indie games developers without big name publishers.
Depending on the state you are in, the answer to that is yes. Some states requires all parties to be notified of recording on a telephone call, and some states only require one of parties involved in the conversation to be the one recording. I'm not sure what law applies if you go cross state, however. Is it the more restrictive of the two, or the state of the person initiating the call, or some Federal law? IANAL, so I only know based upon what a lawyer told me in my state when I asked based upon some shady things my boss was suggesting I should do that I didn't agree with at the time.
Okay, where's your implementation of exactly what he (John) has done? I believe it should be possible, but if you are going to start a challenge like this you should prove you can do it by showing off your skills. If you do that you aren't a troll, and you have a very legitimate claim. But I don't see you proving anything, I just see the claim.
I dunno. This is what I saw when I tried to read it:

I wouldn't be too sure that's the only reason (thought that does make sense). I ran across a guy a little while ago that thought you needed flash to make a picture change when the mouse rolled over it. And he called himself a "web programmer." He had never heard of mouseover. No idea what it was. He made good web programmers look bad by association, as most people (his customers anyway) have no idea what he was saying was utter crap.

I read this article about the railroad companies around the late 1800's that basically said they forgot what business they were in. They made the mistake of thinking they were in the railroad business rather than the transportation business, and that's why they missed the significance of the automobile and in a short period of time went from being the overlords of America (in many ways) to a struggling industry that required government bailout to stay afloat.
Would it really? I mean, even a simple search for *.mp3 would technically look at every single file, it just responds with the ones that have that extension. So greping through the first 4 bytes over every file isn't really that different. Yes, you have to open the file, rather than just looking at the inode (or equivalent) but I doubt a judge would see it differently if an "expert" said this was the only way (though I suppose the defendant's expert witness could argue differently. I doubt the judge would really understand the difference as most people haven't the foggest as to what the diff is.
That's what I was wondering. I just had a problem with a gym membership where they lost my cancellation form and billed me the following month. There wasn't enough money, so I got an overdraft fee. I went down to talk to them about it and they admitted their mistake (they were really nice about it and didn't even try to screw me) and they refunded the money plus the overdraft a few days later. I would have liked to be able to set up a different account number for them to draw from that didn't have an overdraft ability, but I don't think I can do that with my bank (off to check the website...)
What would be the point of emulating lots of software you use? and specially games, you even cannot as the fps would be like 1fps.
This seems to be changing. Virtualbox is starting to include a capability for a client system to access the 3d hardware directly (that's my understanding of the process anyways) specifically for gaming performance. And they aren't the only ones doing so.
I agree. I was talking to my brother (who is a pretty smart person overall) about some computer problems he was having and he said he was out of memory. Being that it was a java program I was telling him to run, and knowing that his computer is several years old, I wasn't too surprised. So I asked him how much memory he had?
"1.3 Ghz?" was his response.
I tried really hard to not laugh as I realized he isn't a computer guy (he can type, but he's never built a system, etc) and I had completely forgotten this fact. It is so easy for us to forget that most people don't have the experiences we do. I wonder if people in other professions have this same problem? Do civil engineers forget most people don't have any idea how much stress a bridge can take? Do doctors forget most people don't know anything about prescription drug interactions?
Seriously, if you had a device that could duplicate any device you used it on, without affecting the original in any way, would people be trying to say, "You wouldn't duplicate a car, would you?" It would sound completely absurd. And this time is going to be here sooner than many people realize, I think. With 3D printers being at the point laser printers were when I was a kid, before long we could easily have one in nearly every house. Just think about what that will do to the manufacturing industry? Sure, they don't do everything actual manufacturing does right now (durability for example) but they likely will eventually. People are already working on making them able to embed circuitry into the designs.
I think this could make the copyright disputes we are having right now look downright enjoyable, because this will affect a whole lot more people than copyright.
Fortunately companies don't do anything (since they are just imaginary concepts), people do things on behalf of companies, and people go old, retire/die and are replaced, so they can change, sometimes surprisingly quickly even (though some take entirely too long for my tastes). Of course, sometimes the change is bad, but that's life I guess.

That might be one way to keep your expensive playback device from being stolen. I mean, who would want one these days?

I take it you've never played Rolemaster then? ;^)
After seeing that I'd almost rather it had been, um, cruder. What a useless piece of crap.

I'm afraid to look online to see if Plug Pal is already trademarked.
I was wondering where that went!
