    You just described exactly how Growl notifications on OSX work.

    Basically, they want something similar to Growl on OSX.

    They do... it's just that there's nothing else to retrieve but whitespace.

    This wouldn't matter anyways, unless RSA has been broken, but I do see your point.

    I use public key auth only. :P

    Since changing my SSH ports to something really high (above 50000), I have had exactly *zero* failed password attempts in the last 14 months.

    I know the plural of 'anecdote' is not 'data', but this is the case across *all* my servers.

    Attractive women? At Walmart?

    Didn't you just say you make $90 an hour? http://developers.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1069291&cid=26184295

    Unless you're horribly mismanaging your finances, you wouldn't ever need to work at Walmart. I make about half of that and I am financially secure.

    That's odd, because ATI has the fastest (consumer) card on the market right now, the HD4870x2.

    Even with its two GPU cores each with 1gb of ram, I only get about 20-25 fps in GTA4. (We're complaining about it up above. Rest of the system is: 2.6ghz Athlon X2, 6gb DDR2, 1tb hdd, Vista X64 Ultimate) I'm waiting for the patch that adds multi-core rendering support to GTA4. I might actually be able to play it at that point.

    If Mac was a pointless platform, why do id and Blizzard release all their games for it?

    I am looking forward to Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3, but I am not sure if I will buy the PC or Mac versions.

    The creature creator used SecuROM (invasive copy protection) and 'phoned home'. I imagine a demo would do the same.

    I, and a lot of other people, would avoid it as a matter of principle.

  21. mod parent up on Players Furious Over Buggy GTA IV PC Release · · Score: 1

    I also ran into the 'no textures' issue when I first started a new game. Tire skid marks and shadows also result in really strange graphical 'twitching' on my system.

    I bought the HD4870X2 so I could run demanding games, but GTA4 doesn't seem to want any part of it. This is definitely the worst gaming purchase I have ever made.
