having DRM built into copyrighted works is like having a car with a built in speed limiter that didn't let you go over the speed limit.
these people are not vandals. what if they sat on this until the whole industry DEPENDED on the idea that it was secure? AND THEN they released the exploit? they should be hired by apple.
sure, a little funny, but the article (that you read...) says that muggers know you have the ipod by the white headphones that ARE COMING OUT OF YOUR ASS. not by actually seeing the ipod.
the cheaters are not hacking the server, they are hacking the client. there is an enemy to your left... if you moved your mouse 2,410 units to the left and then right clicked into zoom mode, switched to croutch and then left clicked to fire, you would kill him. the cheaters just automate this by having their "bot" figure all this out and do it automatically.
the equivilant to online casinos would be writing a bot that could play perfect video poker, not making it give you a royal every hand.
when a given problem that has exactlly 1 solution, and upper management tells you to do something that you know creates 10 more problems instead of the correct solution, there isn't much "fun" in coding it up for them.

couldn't apple help with this? like register the unit's id, and everytime it tries to sync to i-Tunes, it checks a global database or something...
ok, so the spam sites just create the same spam site for every category...
OUTSIDE THE BOX...
it is if they are doing it over US based ISP's...
uh... IE is also released for the mac, so your statement means absolutely nothing.
way to go though, fan boy.
duh duh duh duh.
half of them didn't care about computers anyways and were just going to where the money was. now that the money is moving, so are they.
are people really this dumb?
maybe the title should have been
"Archos' Upgraded AV500 Jukebox Derailed"
you fucking... FUCKING idiot.
free speech does not equal the right to yell out "FIRE!" in a crowd. this is exactlly what they did...
take your retarded quotes elsewhere you thoughtless piece of horse shit.
i'm done.
"U.S. Prepares to Get Nuked"
putting that as the title of an article is irresponsible and near criminal.
why not? it serves its purpose for 99.9%+ of all sites.
who are ready to use their weapons on us anyways without linking themselves up with a terrorist organization...
doesn't use BIC-TCP
now EVERY web site will be flash or some such variant because, hey, bandwidth is cheap.
please please, just keep the web simple.
you are an idiot.
"If it received [positive] reviews, would [the N-Gage] be a success"
?!?!?! even as a rhetorical question that is stupid. if it received positive reviews, IT WOULD BE A GOOD PRODUCT, AND IT *SHOULD* BE A SUCCESS.
the N-Gage is NOT a good product, THUS it got poor reviews AND failed. the only implication here is quality of product.
not sure if your question was rhetorical or not.

you are horrid at your job if you believe everything you just said.
no, its creative control.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.
do not filter ANYTHING at the ISP level.
this is not a suggestion, it is a demand.
if i'm PAYING to put my ad for a certain search term, don't you think that my link is probably VERY relavant?
personally i like the "talk to girls" game at bars much more than video games.
winner gets pussy. can't compete with that.
