You're getting consulting money to come up with a way to make this project work without a hitch. The fee paid is presumably for your ability and knowledge to succeed. Yet you turn around and gain that knowledge from/. readers. So what will be ther readers' cut in your compensation?
The bottom of the page says the game is GPU intensive. I wonder whether it is worth buying a Geforce FX 5600 for a 1GHz AMD processor with 256MB of ram.
No such thing as reeling us in. If people do not like it, they will swiftly switch to something else. And just like Yahoo used to be the big boy before Google came along, I am sure something else will come along that will offer fast loading pages that do one thing right: search.
The font in the images on the official site is pretty close to that used in the Diablo series. Wonder if that might expose them legally, or whether the font is freely available, like Times New Roman.
Interesting moderation. The least bit of criticism gets you shunned here.
Here's a scenario. The site gets slashdotted. The people who let the creators put up the site get annoyed by the bandwidth hit, and refure so put the site back up. The site relocates, gets posted on/. again, and the usual DoS takes place, repeating the cycle.
I, for one, would like to read the guide to hopefully see how I can glue the gray palmrests of my TiBook to the brighter edge after I put too much weight on it with my elbow. I hope I do get to actually read it.
It is human nature to sort people into groups, and to make conclusions about individuals and groups alike. Nothing to do with nationality as you allude to in the quote below (assuming you're either Russian or european and talking about Americans).
Oh wait... there's always the Islamics, or Iraqis, or Drug Barons, or terrorists, or... damn.. how many enemies you guys got?:O
Sounds like you yourself are perpetuating the us-versus-them montra.
I think it is more the case of where he he says it, rather than what he says. I've read his column a few times, and the overall memory that I have is that he answers pretty basic questions, and issues that could have been understood with 3 minutes of research on Google.
I'm surprised you didn't exclaim that you'd only buy it when it supports OGG.
Being able to load up 3 or 4 of today's newspapers, along with a couple of books, and having the choice of reading whatever you are in the mood for in that particular moment without carrying a small library with you is, to me, a very intriguing proposition.
Well, enough of my opining. Back to the regularly scheduled Slashdot "pfft, so what" attitude.
With all due respect to good cops out there, you don't reaslly need to be a scholar or a moral saint to bedcome a cop. All it takes is a few college courses and some basic testing.
My Apple PowerBook laptop got a chip on the wrist rest, so to prevent it from getting larger, I covered both rests with electrical tape. Did a damn good job of it, too, and my PB looks a lot like these NES GameBoys.
Because it can easily take down a competent email server. From my experience, clamav seemed to deplete the system's memory as well as swap (512MB,1GIG respectively) and would cause high loads (68 or thereabouts). I can't tell you how many emails it was handling, but after we started using (commercial) F-Prot, we haven't seen a hickup from the server since.
However, your overall point is valid. There is great value in running a serverside virus scanner.
Putting aside all the nose-upturning and jokes from the oh-so-savvy-and-intelligent Slashdot readers, has there ever been any research into whether plastic and styrophone disposable cups could have a coating of chemicals that could potentially mix with the fluids they held?
I imageine these cups are made in large plants from various chemicals and can't imagine they would do a thorough job cleaning them.
And if they did, what would they clean the cups with? Another chemical no doubt.
Amazingly there are people out there (yes, in IT) that don't follow this basic act of hygiene.
I guess you think IT is above most other occupations. People in IT are that much smarter and more sophistocated than everyone else? Well, the IT field encompasses many different jobs, and filling those jobs are all kinds of people. People running web hosting companies on Unix boxes that do not know what httpd.conf is. The IT field is fast becoming blue collar work, and because of the belief that it is a white collar field we get lots of people crying foul when it comes to outsourcing and falling wages. You have to adapt, and one of the first things to do is to realize that computing is fast becoming a commodity, much like auto repair.

Then again, you don't really care whether there's a way to be sure or not...

It's funny, cause that's the same way I cracked mine. I was on the phone at the time. Then I heard a noise that sounded like a CD jewelcase cracking.
Wish the site didn't get slashdotted so that I could see if they have a good guide of detaching the top half of the shell.

You're comparing a first-offense High School kid to someone who was on the run from the feds for quite a while.
I reckon a better comparison would be between Mitnick and Kaczynski, a.k.a the Unibomber. Both had a series of offenses, and elluded authorities.

AOL is a paid service. Plenty of paid services and ISPs support IMAP. Fastmail.fm, nyc.com, etc.
By Yahoo, I'd assume that you mean their free email. Well, it is a free service. Can't compare the two.

Quite a bitter and malevolent post, wouldn't you say? Perhaps you're the one with issues to work out, or some time away from the computer.

Oh boy. Looks like I'll bee seeing the face of Chuckee "Cheese" Schumer on the news tonight.

No, no, no. Buy multiple copies of the same album. If buying one sticks it to the man, buying many will stick it to the man that much better!

I have no idea why all ISPs don't use ClamAV!

So it doesn't matter if you own the place or if you are a visitor or what, you are on cameras 24/7, just in case you tried something illegal.
So if a couple moves in, what does that mean, no anal sex?
