" While Track 1 wouldn't play (using WinAMP, WMP, MusicMatch, and so on), the rest of the tracks play normally."
Track one is probably the data track with the offical playing software on it
Since i dont live in the glorious USA whats to stop me from reversenginering this? Presumably it cant be that hard to do
And also ironcialy this might increase sales of the first few copy protected cds. Im tempted to go out and buy one purely so i can have a stab at reverse enigerning it.
I dont quite agree with point 6 to be quite honest, but other than that it sounds like quite a good idea
however thats is NEVER going to happen to be realisic. How many geeks could be persuaded to actualy take some kind of action to try and ensure it happens? not that many. and how much do microsoft pay all law/policy makers/judges? quite a lot really.
why not stick it on a windows box and share it with samba and use cups to connect to the samba printer... that way you could translate it into somthing that would probably work
He says that using just 12 transistors he can create alsorts of charicteristics such as fear of other bugs and then goes on to say they learn and develop dynamicaly.... antyhing like this is gonna need a darn site more than 12 transistors
Next they'll sue "Browns window cleaning service" for trademark infrigment or perhaps even some doublgalzing salesmen who "install new windows for only £999";-)
Anyone who has ever used msn will notice that it is full of radonm skript kiddies who will send u "picutres" with filenames such as "me.jpg.exe" thus explorer nicley hides this from the average user and so they open it.. some more cunning ones even have an icon set on the exceutale to somthing it might commonly be set to like the windows default jpg icon
Erm I actualy bet you quite a lot of money if u walk into pc world or dell or comapq or tiny 99% of their salesmen "computer experts" havent even heard of this at all, and even if they did there hardly not gonna tell mr and mrs smith whilst their waving big fat credit cards are they?
Juding from the number of serious bugs weve seen in m$ products over the years there must have been someone there for quite a long time... Or maybe lots of terrorist groups all have one person there!!!!!
why does every console manufacture include expansion ports they never ever use, normaly connected directly to some bus somewhere and wonder why people exploit them?????????
Almost everyone i know who has xp (and i only know of one legitimate copy out of about 20-30, so much for product activation code) the first thing they did was turn of all the "features" using registry hacks and the likes so it looks almost exactly like windows 2000. Out of the box it looks like it was made for 5 year olds or somthing (or possibly mac users), not for you average business user really.
Us mortals in the UK didnt get the full game until today, and when i did get it so far all ive managed to get to work is this linux multiplayer binaries (windows ones just freeze with grey screen)
given that they mention the heat problem in the artical it looks like this could be a huge problem for laptops. Most laptops get hot enough as it is with out a gas generator in them
Slashdot Mirror
Seriously though from the artical this appears to be far more devestating than a couple of areoplanes
Are there any debian packages avalible yet?
there only taking signups in US/canada, how insainly iritating
erm go onto irc and say "d00d3 i just ownd3d that satalite"?????????????
Judging from microsoft's past devious tactics i find this fairly credible

Sounds like were heading towards the matrix ;-)

Nice idea pitty about reality
i thought you could send postscript to the windows server which might be able to figure out what to do with it
id far rather have my nice organised /etc than some stupid registry magic thing where i cant find anything i want ever

I have a whole bunch of icl etherteam 16i's lying around... and a whole bunch of 486s and a few geeky neibours.
And aui is funky, i havent seen it in use for ages

its great isnt it. we have a free market economy that is free in no sense of the word at all

Paypal accept no forms of card that I have, and i dont think they accepted checks yet so a site using pay pal is no go for me full stop

a) less latency
b) more range
so that i can sit within say a mile of my house with a laptop and play quake... or even setup a lan with some friends down the road
