I wonder how this would work with ArcadeOS, if I could get a network connection going somehow on my arcade machine.. ArcadeOS + emulators + networked games == woah.
The bottom line is that charging subscribers more doesn't guarantee a higher quality. Take Slashdot - can you imagine a better source for this kind of thing? What good would it do to charge for it - most of the good stuff would disappear. I like reading the opinions of the AC's, and they sure wouldn't pay for the privilege of posting.
That's exactly why honeypots suck. Network admins have too many other things to be doing/working on than setting up systems and trying to catch hackers/crackers. There's just not enough time.
Sending him back to that school is only going to increase the taunting, ridicule, etc. Those people never get punished. Either homeschool him, or move to a different school district. Preferably the latter, because while my school experience sucked, I still feel I learned a lot from interacting with other people when the interaction wasn't someone introducing their fist to my stomach.
I got the SHIT kicked out of me almost every day in junior high. And most people probably recall, no matter who starts the fight or throws punches, both people get suspended. I missed over 30 days of school that year due to suspensions and almost failed the grade, because I spent too much time getting picked on. No one looks into what leads up to those scenarios. The instigators rarely, if ever, get punished for their actions. What good does the suspension do then, if the root of the problem isn't attacked? I suppose it let me heal my wounds for a couple days before I returned to school and got some new ones, but that's about it.
Ohwell. Life sucks, and it's not going to change. Deal with it the best way you can, but the best way is NOT appealing that decision and trying to get the kid back into an enviroment where he'll deal with even MORE harassment and bullying. Move.
why they should even open it, aside from the government telling them they should as a condition of the merger.
It's THEIR program. THEIR R&D team, and the dollars to fund them, develop it. Who has the right to say that they have to make it open for everyone to interface with and freeload off of?
I'd be pissed off if I developed a program, spent years on it, poured tons of cash into it, watched it become wildly successful, and then have people and the government DEMAND that I open it up to everyone else.
It's THEIR program. if you don't like it, use something else! And if your friends don't want to, that's just TOO DAMN BAD. That's not a reason for them to open it up.
seriously, I'm in full agreement. not everything can, or should be, free. I really would love to know how the Slashdot editors can say 'go after the users, not the service' and then turn around and pull this while keeping a straight face. what the fuck?
I haven't had a single crash yet. I've been running T2 on a P3 500 with a *TNT* video card (yes, TNT without a number after it), without any problems. Yes, I had to tone down a lot of the graphics, but it still looks pretty damn cool (better than T1 graphics). And the gameplay is great, I love playing games of Hunters with like 15 people (and it doesn't lag to hell on me like you claim).
So, personally, I think you have some machine problems that need to be addressed if you can't even install the game correctly.
writing comments on Slashdot complaining about it is definetly the right way to go to try and fix things.
I've written letters to my congressman (and yes, I realize this article is discussing Europe, but we have the DMCA to deal with here), but as expected all I got back was the standard blow off form letter.
Face it, we're screwed. If you don't like it.. get into politics and try and change it. Change isn't going to happen from the outside, because too many people are ignorant/don't care about the issue.
Hey, I'll have you know CmdrTaco has contributed hundreds of typos and Hemos forgets to close his italics tags fairly often. They have contributed, don't overlook their efforts.
this is probably the low point of Slashdot. Stop trying to be funny, it's not working. Just post news and stuff, that's what we want. Cut this shit out.
Tribes 2 and sniping with this thing... hmmmmm. Would be interesting to see how accurate it is, I'd be worried that simple natural movements would cause me to end up shooting way off.. having to keep -perfectly still- while trying to aim at someone might be a little much.

Speaking of HD's/former Hech's in the NoVA area, the old Hech's near Fairfax Circle is now a HD. So I have 2 HD's no less than a mile from my house.
Both are still crowded as hell on Saturday.

Yes, it's called Kuro5hin.

If it's serious then, it's even more sad. What a waste of front page space.
This isn't even funny. Work on it.
What is this "Naptser" thing you talk about?
God, slashdot editors. I swear.

Scooped by The Register, and apparently Ars, yet again. keep it up guys!

not really.
i didn't. i bought the windows version as soon as it can be available. Windows simply is a better platform for games.
Ahhh, but the only way to get in is to become one of them. And to do that you have to sell your soul to the 'vested interests'.
:\
Yep. or you'll be bullied by other corrupt congressman into doing what they want, anyway.

In other words, your encrypted files may only be as secure as the computer and network on which the key resides.
Well... duh.
My thoughts exactly. I mean.. c'mon. :\
If you have his numbers, please give Katz back his 1 key so he can stop using the letter 'l' as a substitute for it when he uses a date.
With that, what were some of the better April Fool's pranks that you've experienced (or helped to create)?
Anything Slashdot didn't do yesterday. That was god awful.
