My favorite video game of all time and all platforms is Star Control 2. Released in 1992 on PC
Favorite NES: Dragon Warrior 4.
Favorit SNES: Tie! Super Mario RPG & Chronotrigger.
When I subscribed to Comcast a while back, there was a 4 day outage. By the second day, I found out that it was due to an attack on the DNS servers. So I went into the gateway and changed mine to Verizon's for the time being.
If you say so. However, I got rid of the stock OS and installed CyanogenMod and am very pleased with its performance.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
It is actions like this that cause an increase in piracy of content. Taking what used to be free to watch and now charging for it. The content providers are thus promoting the piracy of their own products.
I see cheating as gaining an unfair advantage over another player. I do mean player and not bots or the computer (no moral dilemma)
I remember in Age of Empires 2, you could enable cheats for all players and those games got crazy. (despite using cheat codes, I did not see this as cheating because no one was at a disadvantage)
My general rule was play it through the first time with out cheating, then cheat to your heart's delight.
The two worst cases of cheating in multiplayer games was Diablo 1 and Counter Strike 1. In Diablo 1, multiplayer toons were saved on the local computer instead of online along with that there was an app (bobafett) that aloud various cheats including killing all players on the same level you were on and then claiming their gold and gear that dropped. Counter Strike 1's infamous cheat was OGC. x-ray walls, auto target lock, auto fire. It got so bad that the more skilled players were being accused of cheating if their scores were significantly above the others. (this happen to me on numerous occasions) . I can't think of any other multiplayer cheat epidemics
Of course there is no concrete evidence. If there was, those involved with Truecrypt would have been arrested and charged with violating 18 U.S.C. 2709(c) of the USA Patriot Act.
Bioshock Infinite was an amazing game in all aspects. It was the first game I played on my newly built system which pushed it to its limits. It is unfortunate that Irrational Games closed its doors.
I own a green laser pointer refereed to as a star pointer since the beam is easier to follow into the night sky. I use it to point to stars and constellations to educate my daughter. When I see an aircraft, I turn it off. What if someone observes me and thinks I'm shining it at an aircraft and wrongfully reports me?
If/when overwhelming evidence is found that ISPs are throttling Netflix and other such services, those services could sue for anti-competitive business practices.
Software patents need extreme reform. In their present form, It's like Tylenol patenting the concept of ingesting substance to relieve pain. The patent office would never permit that. Tylenol has to patent the specific formula of their pain reliever. This allows other companies to create a competing product that is a completely different formula but produces the same effect. Software patents should be the same. Company A's 4*5=20 should not infringe on company B's 10+10=20. Unfortunately, that is how software patents are being treated.
Though the ISP could throttle, demand a ridiculously expensive network usage fee to make the service unaffordable or even block services all together such as Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime, I doubt they would. Any of those services would likely sue the ISP for anti-competitive practices.
If I were US president, I'd declare a presidential pardon on all charges. I believe what he did is in the best interest of our country. Not our government, but our country.

I can just imagine how biased and one-sided this class would be

agree. Find those values, alter them, then freeze them

Superior graphics, AI, and audio. Don't make a kick-ass game. IMO, the greatest video game of all time is Star Control 2 (1993)
It would be nice if we could sick the CFAA on the NSA. Unofrtunately, they are immune from that law.

I assume if direct contact with lava/magma is expected, the pipes or tubes would be made of tungsten. Possibly with a carbon fiber lining.
It probably has been proposed, but I bet the EPA has prohibited it.
So they're not only price fixing their products, now they're price fixing their employees

Public uproar or not. If there is only 1 ISP available in an area, then the people are stuck with it whether they hate it or not.
Are you saying that you need a remote access app to stream video from your home PC to a work PC?
The business model TQP and other patent trolls use may be a thing of the past if the Innovation Act 2013 passes http://jolt.law.harvard.edu/digest/patent/innovation-act-of-2013-latest-effort-to-disarm-patent-trolls
also lead to mass layoff and unemployment and be the direct cause of the next great depression.
Of course we all know this will be biased. Piracy funds terrorism, illegal drugs, crime and violence.
