The base assumption in the XBox paper is that the key is unique to each box. But that it isn't relevent.
Once captured off the bus the key can be revealed and used to decrypt everything else as necessary.
By the way, the hardware used may have been expensive, but the hardware PRODUCED to do it was valued by the author at about $50. So a device could be created to spit out the codes easily and cheaply. It also would not have to be attached for a long period of time, just long enough to retrieve the key. As such you could, theoretically take your xbox to a shop, and be handed the key 2 minutes later. Wouldn't have to solder anything either.
It isn't legal for a law enforcement agency to act outside of its boarders without the approval of the local government. I'll leave military action crap to someone else to discuss.
I read an artical a few years ago, seems an American was arrested for kidnapping an inidivudal and trying to take them from Canada, into the United States.
Under Canadian law the suspect could not be extradited for the crime. (Can't remember the details on that, it was not a capital crime).
By the way, according to the article the suspect was still in Toronto and the American law enforcement agent was spending a year in jail.
If a crime is commited within the boarders of a foreign country THEIR laws apply.
Exactly, once you create an api to receive, and send a message the rest of a BOT is just Elisa.
I'm trying to figure out what to patent. I'm thinking of an 'Exploit Patent Examiners' patent, but I'm not sure how to write it up so the patent examiners don't realize they are being exploited in the process...
So, your saying, that out of all that selective breeding there is no chance that any of the genes which were intentionally kept were perhaps mutations at some point in the process? (Perhaps the colour was a mutation and somebody liked it.).
And that, if this mutation was kept that it isn't evolution because it isn't complicated enough?
I saw so many of those 'my kid is an honor student...' when I was in the U.S.
I mean, the way I figure if, if all those people had kids which were honor students then Americans must be either very smart, or have very easy Honor requirements.
The general agreement actually expects & requires the new machines to have an OS already installed. All your buying is the right to re-image the machine with a corporate copy.
Thats probably exactly what they want, hopefor. They want the next hit, while iD limits the engine to those with purpose (money/ thought out project, etc) these guys are throwing it against the wall and seeing what sticks.
For good or bad. The downside? It could mean their name gets attached to some really bad games.
If they are smart they will publish those they think aren't very good under a different name.
See, the problem is, your applying logic to this. You cannot apply logic to women, or love.
And I said forever because the relationship is supposed to last, you aren't going to debate the source of diamonds for 50 years with your other half.
But you can make decisions which are acceptable (in my opinion).
Me, If I were to buy a diamond ring would probably buy Canadian diamonds. On the other hand my gf has specificly told me she does not want a diamond. Not for ethical reasons, but because everybody else has them...
I mean, this whole conversation is summed up as follows:
You want her. She wants a diamond to signify your love. You don't care about the diamond. But she sees it as a symbol of something. Respect it, change it, or comply with it.
And you aren't likely to change it over night, and you are likely to look cheap doing it.
First, if you girlfriend did not want a Diamon then you'd be in good standing. She would be willing to explain to everyone why her ring doesn't have a diamond, etc.
But, since you think she wants a diamond she will NOT being willing to explain it all the time. It will be a source of conflict in your relationship. It won't even necessarily be obvious, but it will be there. No matter what she says.
That makes a hell of a lot of assumptions that aren't necessarily true.
For instance, the herb may not be dangerous by itself, but when combined with something else it could be very dangerous. On the other hand, doubling the recommended dose might be deadly. Are you sufficiently warned? Is the actual amount of herb in the product (whatever it is) too much, or too little?
I understand that a particular herb used to treat depression also causes some degree (mild or otherwise) of impotence. Do you think the individuals are properly informed about this? Doubt it.
thats a good one, so, your saying this anchient wizdom can't be wrong? Incorrect? Dangerous?
Get real. Apply proper scientific study to it. Should be simple enough to do. Shuldn't even be difficult to get an appropriate grant to do it.
The fact that none of the companies selling such herbs, etc, are willing to fund the studies tells me something... they don't care if its real or not, they will cash in anyway.
By the way, most people don't have a fucking clue how dangerous some of that stuff can be. My GF was researching a recipe to make Cola, ever seen one? There are some rather dangerous extracts that go into it... but hey, its natural, its perfect safe, right?
The most dangerous poisons in the world are natural.
Which is eaxctly why I have no reason to believe the quote of "640K is enough..." is wrong, or malicious, etc. I don't have the resources to check every video tape, recording or transcript from 1981 to see if its true or not. (It could even be true that BG does not remember saying it.).
Bill Gates is willing to say almost anything to promote a product he (supposedly) believes in at the time. Back in 1981 640K was a hell of a lot of memory. Such a quote may be embarasing, but isn't a big deal. Besides, Microsoft didn't know what to do with 640K anyway. They never have figured it out, they just keep aquiring software and ideas from elsewhere.
Some alternative medicine involves scientific method, for those, I agree with you...
On the other hand the majority of it is based on speculation and conjecture without basis of fact and is generally devised in such a way it cannot be tested. Also know as quakery.

I think Intel is virtually the only company using the byte order they use.
Everybody else is in common.

Even if you actions are conducted remotely.
Hate to say it but I disagree. I see id as pushing the graphical envelope, while everybody else can license the engine and give it a plot.
Then agin, I like playing Unreal Tournament, and Halo. So what do I know about plot?
(Actually, I like the campaign in Halo. Decent plot and I still get to blow stuff up).

Nope.
Sorry.
Believe it or not, you can violate a patent without personal gain.
welcome to the IP universe.
With a patent it is irrelevent if you use their tools, or information from them.
If you substantially duplicate a patent you are in violation of it. Regardless of how.
And, under various circumstances, substantial isn't necessary.
What the hell is the fundamental difference between an IM bot and an IRC bot?
Or any other bot running within an environment generally used for 2-way (or more) communication?
I wrote a bot in 1990 for christ sake.
Not kidding, work with DDIAL chat systems.
DDIAL ran on Apple IIe with 7 300bps modems.

And no, I'm NOT kidding.
And doesn't mean the results can actually be used in a GAME ENGINE. not a fucking viewer.
They are willing to license the older engines for $10,000. Q3 Engine is an active product, why license it for less than $250K?
Thats probably exactly what they want, hopefor. They want the next hit, while iD limits the engine to those with purpose (money/ thought out project, etc) these guys are throwing it against the wall and seeing what sticks.

Your funny. A week?
Yeah, if they had all the design documents and source code sitting in front of them.
Your funny.
She's Female. Wrote a book called "Synners". Excelent book. Much better than Neuromancer by Gibson.
I've read some of her other work and enjoyed most of it, but I think Synners shines the best. It's much better focused.

You have no choice.
Really, you don't.

Or maybe it's because the formats are crap?
But I know what you mean. The pop-under popups are really annoying on my dual monitor setup. They often appear on both monitors!

So your honestly saying that you were confused and thought Davezilla was acting on behalf of the company that owns the tm for Godzilla?
Now thats funny
