It's probably because they though the ability to ban by CD-KEY was good. I think it was "clientinfo" that states the CD KEY. That's what the readme states.
Havent tested it myself so they might leave out parts of the cd key while still being unique
That's just because you are seeing the official screenshots.
Cant quite remember the name it's something like "sumthing"Configurator =) There are tweaking apps being worked on, for powerusers. Otherwise you can always use gconf-editor which is well... a bit like regedit (~gconf for gnome) for windows =). Just with comments for each setting.
The fact remains that they dont sue the guys, who made it possible to use bnetd with the Warcraft beta. They are suing the guys who made bnetd for starcraft and warcraft II among others. Games that undoubtly has sold amazingly well.
Their own site (bntd) even stated that they didn't support nor condone the specific bnetd fork or warez. That was even before Vivendi Universal sued them. I fully understand Blizzard/Vivendi got pretty mad when a closed beta turns out as public:/, but suing people who didnt have bad intentions, and didnt do anything wrong in the majority of the world, is just plain _wrong_.
It's not about hurting blizzard financial, it's about doing what you think is right.
They are just creating a new market....
Alot of mp3 players use the small size notebook harddisk. Buying a nomad with no harddisk and buying the harddisk across the street =).
Tom even has a manual how swap the harddisk with a bigger one for the nomad.
While the rest of the world gets more storage on portable mp3 players.. canada will have special models (Imagine a mordern nomad.. with todays HD, the price tag will be HUGE....). The tech savvy guys are just swapping out the HD. Shouldnt hurt the average slashdot reader that much:P.
Give me the font smoothing option that has been in windows since the horrible 98... (b version i think).
I dont know what it is or how it works... but i get no Blur no jagged edges which gives no headache.. it just works. And yes i've tried XP AA.. horrible i'll tell you! (On a CRT thou').
Give me font smoothing! Anone who know how it works?
Open source haven't proven more secure than closed, as the theory about "given enough eyes all bugs are shallow" says.
The one thing it gives though, is choice. For instance, i dont run rsync(se recent security exploit) and i'll probably never do. Neither will mdk/rh pr. default (Allthough a lot is certainly run by default). Even though rsync comes with mdk/rh.
AA fonts doesnt make your current fonts better than they are. AA magic.
Edgy (bad) fonts get blurry. Good fonts dont they get sharp. (removes the tiny edges visible).
Try using some of microsoft's truetype fonts (monotype).
Here
they have a quite nice script for getting those fonts. Use them in kde/gnome and be amazed;).
It looks very odd indeed, maybe they are covering up their mistakes by charging him.
2 years investigation costs alot of money, and if they dont charge him it might not look that good.
Another motive could be political, i.e. they arent satisfied with the current law. It does seems rather useless in most cases.
Lets not forget that they dont write anything about norwegian laws ala. 'fair use' in the US. They might not have the right to copy a dvd, and only view it. Depends on the norwegian laws.
In denmark it's legal to copy for your own use. So it wouldn't be a problem. I think they law the used to charge him is quite rare(one of those new computer laws that are different for each country) besides that it looks as an extremely vague case, allthough as the guy above IANAL.
Oh come on, i can authenticate with kinit against an microsoft 2000 Domain controller, this is using MIT's kerberos.
That way i can see our intraweb =) (nasty IIS).
Also the samba 3.0 alpha's are using ADS with the kerberos libs... so it's not like it isnt supported anymore. It can actually join an ADS domain as a controller =)... using openldap. It's pretty cool stuff, although a bit hard making it work properly =) (You need good karma, and some hours available)
Yes, when i have to. It actually tells me to run specific queries as root, since i dont get 100% acces acces to a raw net socket, as every home users do in winxp (oh joy).
Allthough I trust way to much software anyways =).
urpmi/rpmdrake for mandrake does this rather nice, in cooker that is (development branch for mandrake dist).
It hasnt been that great in the latest official releases, but i'm actually able being up to date with cooker. just as easy as in debian with apt-get.
The only problem is that the cli interface (it sucks) is actually less powerfull than the gui:(. Talk about doing it the non unix way:/
All i can say that from 8.1 release of mandrake to the cooker release which i've been following pretty much on a daily basis. It has really matured lately with some heavy progress in speed. The UI was soooo slow (and are) in mdk 8.1.
Anyways urpmi is probably the only reason i dont use debian right now =). I dont have enough motivation to reinstall.

Download and read the documentation.

Who knows. =)
I really recommend _not_ to play on public servers, since the admin can see your cd key _VERY_ easy.
I cant believe what bioware is thinking of, with the mix of:
1) the server doesnt require key.
2) the server admin can see the players key.
This is going to cause quite a lot of problems.....
It really is readable here, the newest Galeon release (1.25).
The site can be very slow at times, especially the forums.

I was listening too, was pretty sad he was so down :/.
Excessive trolling on how good newegg.com are? :P
:P
They cant be _THAT_ good
some of the accounts numbers are a bit odd too

Let me see
:(
World Cup Soccer (so far i've only missed 3 matches)
Neverwinter nights.
Warcraft III.
Where does work fit in?
"I just minimized my chrashed application, after moving it around on my xinerama desktop"
OH THE JOY!
What if... the application didnt crash instead? No need to fix anything that is broken anyway =)
Nah UNDEADS! That's why they made the new race.
Much more the undead guys. A certain law firm from the show Angel might be somewhat like it.
Otherwise the new expansion pack might contain a new Evil race. "Blizzard Marketing & Lawyers"
What if there is only one algorithm that solves the problem? And when is the algorithm a deviation and not the same algorithm?
Yeah this shouldnt be implemented in the software itself but the "software that provides it.
Still not a perfect solution though.

Mandrake also does this. Check how many libs*.rpm they have.
Quite simple, all libs are placed in seperate packages, and not in the main package. This way you dont got the bloat but just the needed libs.
I dont know if Redhat has changed their policy also.
Well it's still XUL. :P.
The graphics is looking like native. It just isnt.
So it is very portable
So true =).

Bonobo does the trick for vim in evolution =).
In case you seen it yet =).
No it doesnt. It uses the same idea, the half-life online protection is a complete joke. It just doesnt work.
Then again, the ability to pirate half-life is probably a huge factor that made counter-strike what it is (The ability to get it for free of charge).
