Why doesn't someone just make a "rent a backup" Base it on a LTO drive from HP with 200/400 GB capacity, or AIT2/3 from Sony. You rent it for a few days/Week and make the important backups, the rest is handled the traditional way, either CDR's or lots crying.
As a customer you would only have to buy the media instead of the drive (up to $4700)
A Danish Law from April 2001 actually makes this possible.
It gives the copyright holders the right to collect evidence and present this to a judge. The judge then issues a warrant based on the evidence (yes no 3rd party is involved). The warrant can be for a house search or in this case to get information from a isp based on the ip's they collected. The law has been used to raid netparties as well.
The problem is that all this happens outside the criminal courts, they run all the cases as civil law suites.
I hope they stepped over the line, and that our silly goverment that doesn't know a power button from the reset button, changes this absurd law.
This is the essential feature of the memex. The process of tying two items together is the important thing. When the user is building a trail, he names it, inserts the name in his code book, and taps it out on his keyboard
Frequently-used codes are mnemonic, so that he seldom consults his code book; but when he does, a single tap of a key projects it for his use.
A special button transfers him immediately to the first page of the index. Any given book of his library can thus be called up and consulted with far greater facility than if it were taken from a shelf.
So why would anyone buy a "SECOND PC" when there is way more and better games for the Playstation 2?
Maybe those people that wants PC games but have a shitty PC?.
Anyway, Microsofts only chance of winning this war is buying exclusive titles and keeping them away from the PC, in reality turning the X-Box into a hardware key for "PC" games.
For a more indepth view of the PS2 vs PC look here:
http://www.arstechnica.com/cpu/2q00/ps2/ps2vspc- 1. html
It describes the fundemental differences between the two designs and much can be compared to the X-Box vs PS2.
A big internet provider in Denmark is doing something similar.. By providing 512/512 connections and premium gameservers for so called Boomtown customers.
And thats not all, they are opening several Gamming "café's" that are connected directly to the Boomtown backbone.
The last bit might be to much for Shugashack though:-)

Why post rumours when there are real stories worth posting?

I don't see anywhere that it's possible to reverse the patch on the Web Servers, the news story seems to indicate that.

Unless you browse "certain" web sites from the web server.. As any NT/2000 Admin could tell you we only connect to windowsupdate.com (twice a day

And we pull this link for the 100'th time because we like to show that the only patch that works is the SYSADMIN/ADMINISTRATOR patch.
To bad they can't be downloaded from the net.

blah blah.. it the biggest game in benchmarking..
Many games use/will use the engine.
The Old School Quake(1+) engine that Halflife uses will not produce anything we can use in benchmarks of today.
Yeh.. a lot of Benchmarking being done on Halflife!
