I'm a pretty average person. I watched it on Netflix. I hated it. So in case all these positive comments and the ratings on IMDB make you think it's good, it's not. It's unbearable.
If Iran got their hands on this technology, it'd be a lot more fun to make it run incorrectly than some dumb centrifuge. We could blow a hole right through their building with the laser lol.
There goes the stock price. Considering percentage of income, this would be like people finding out Tyson Chicken is made out of fish and soy beans instead of chicken.
Starcraft II implemented the best custom game making system in gaming history. Since SC1 ran steady for like 12 years and set records for the longest time on store shelves primarily because of user-made content, that makes sense. They're both RTS games but I made a board game out of a map:-P It's practically a programming language wrapped in a premade graphics engine so you can make any kind of game you want inside it. Many, many people have made tower defense and full blown RPGs with leveling and saving. Some are even D&D-based. So just because the big name consoles are blocking people out left and right doesn't mean people can't design their own games anymore.
Rootkit = hidden from the file structure of an OS, typically by intercepting explorer display calls. So it's not that but definitely a trojan, as it is a game on the outside and secret remote control browser plugin on the inside. By the way, there is no such thing as a hidden browser plugin. IE9 pops up and says that there's a new browser plugin and asks to enable it or not. Does it get around this? I think Firefox is a little more inviting to whatever the hell wants to hop in, as is Chrome, but no matter what, you can see all add-ons listed in all 3 browsers.
By the way, if you're thinking "hmmm, where have I heard Ubisoft news before?" they used a hacker team's no-CD crack, as-is, in one of their official updates to Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 to solve a problem with the game calling their own legit CD a fake CD.
I was thinking closer to never actually, as they've been posting stories here about vastly improved solar panels for more than 5 years. If I remember all the stories correctly, and I think my math is pretty accurate on this one, we can now build 500% efficient, spiral-shaped, multi-layer, extra thin cut, impossibly cheap, magical divine solar panels sent down from Mt Olympus to power mankind. Maybe someone should manufacture one then, huh?
It is absolutely not by any stretch of the imagination unreasonable to say that if Apple rules the entire country, it would be the book 1984. They are so control-psycho, those zombies that buy their products might actually wake up, get a freaking clue, and crush their company. By the way, in the famous Microsoft vs IT people: Vista edition, their millions of marketing dollars might as well have been used to make one giant money pinata for a company party after every IT person in the world told any curious customer what they thought of Vista. I've been telling my customers what I think of Apple for years. If enough of you do it, bye bye, Apple.
Not 1 single gamer I know wants a digital-only copy of anything ever. Unless it's half the price or the only option, they want a physical copy so if anything happens to the company, their account, their computer, etc they can still play the game. For the tiny amount of people who prefer digital, it's like iTunes. You only need to get burned by losing everything once before you decide that's not a good idea.
For fuck's sake, am I the only one who knows how hard drives work? Condensation WILL NOT form inside of a drive. Even if a drive were stuffed full of air (pretty sure they're a vacuum), it's not high humidity air. Air with lots of water vapor cannot get into a hard drive, it's sealed. If water could get inside a drive so could dust and pollen and smoke particles, they'd all fail in a week.
Good thing I have all those symptoms for the last 2 days, lol. Luckily I'm in Wisconsin and everyone in the chain of people who caught it is still alive and has recovered and zinc seemed to have fended it off pretty well, but still:-P
I know in Dungeons and Dragons Online, they could predict with near 100% certainty that someone was color blind whenever they posted on the forums that they can't complete a puzzle in a quest because it's color coded, and that they were color blind, rofl.
They're just realizing this now? A walled garden controlled by one single company that gives you zero control whatsoever might maybe have some undesirable results? Did they think Apple wasn't in complete control when they bought their iOS device or something?
There's this other even better method I heard of: don't catch it in the first place. It's really easy and inexpensive compared to the other 2 major treatments. Seriously, you can only do things to lower your odds of catching a cold or the flu but for HIV, it's 100% human caused and human spread via direct actions that if people stopped taking them, it would go away in 1 generation. But whatever, stupid, reckless, careless people will find some way to get themselves killed, HIV or otherwise.
Trust me, bosses cheap out all the time and will put Windows 7 on anything that has no business running it. Pentium 4 HT? Well that's practically a dual core! Let's take off XP and put Windows 7 on it!
The quality of replies on slashdot lately is abysmal, as neither of your suggestions will remotely work. Reformat the drive and I'll hand you all your personal data on a burnt DVD within 24 hours just to prove how idiotically insecure that is. Remember, pressing format or delete doesn't mean it's gone, it just means it's marked as available. By the way, what IT dept lets people reinstall Windows on their systems? And how would he join the domain without a domain admin password? And where would he get the CD? And how would he reinstall their software?
And nuking the drive with a randomly found piece of software on the internet? I'm sure IT would appreciate that. The one and only correct answer to do what he needs is delete hard to get to stuff like temp files and internet cache with CCleaner, delete easy to get to documents and stuff with Spybot's file shredder (or any other file shredder), then run a 100% free space wiper like the one built into CCleaner, Acronis, Killdisk, etc. That will eliminate only previously deleted files floating around in the "open" space between files and leave the system intact.
This is reply to you and almost every single post above it claiming "Well it's easy, you just _____." You all posted complex but correct solutions to the problem BUT you'd have to be a Linux expert to know them in the first place. I have no idea what their file structure is or what any of the text commands are since, once again, I am not a Linux expert. That alone proved my point. Ubuntu is supposed to be the version for any random person who's good with computers but not used to Linux to sit down and use. Since I was a person who wasn't used to Linux and I sat down and used it and it went poorly, all the complex workarounds and fixes in the world don't matter because it failed to work properly "as is" to an inexperienced user. But thanks for defending the stereotype that you have to be an absolute know-everything expert to use any versions of Linux.
I have an idea
Go grab some random person off the street and sit them down at Ubuntu and tell them to install a piece of software as a test for ease of use and then yell at them for not knowing to type in a command to run the shell as root and see if that still seems logical to you.
Slashdot Mirror
Also, TFA says they even come in sour cream and onion flavor! Now those are some good chips!
Darn, I had all my money on golden stone tablets or whatever the fuck, lol
You would get approximately the same result if you let an actual monkey loose in your server room though.

Save an overloaded, secretly torrent-based, server-melting 4.7+ GB download?
Federal laws state that they don't have to do that in the specific case that they go bankrupt lol.
as usual :-)

The long jump would be freaking epic!
Running fast and bouncing a ball in a bikini is much more important
I certainly would have trouble doing that...but I'm a guy lol.

There's a typo there. You meant to say with more than 1 person, as 1 person would be impossible.

Well, at least HP could realistically be an option for manufacturing technology like that and then at least if you're black, it won't detect you
