Well... umm most of the games made for the atari were not even atari brand games.... or even licensed by atari (SINCE ATARI HAD NO LICENSING REQUIREMENTS FOR SOFTWARE COMPANIES)

David Webber this time, (not the only, or the first I would bet... but,) from his popular Honor Harrington series, one planet used this "primitive" form of genetic engineering to harden the population against heavy metals.
The only problem was that a gene that was manipulated by this gene-altered-cold virus also happened to cause an abnormal number of male-embryos to be miscarried. (8 out of 9 failed mail pregnancies or something like that) blah blah blah, read the books for more info.
Point being: If this sort of thing does become a reality, (as it most likely will) how will we set standards to PREVENT massive *accidental* deaths/infections of something that *could* be harmful to *some* people?
I used SAMSPADE to reference their owned IP block (off the wonderful article) this is most definitely not their ONLY ip block, but if anyone does have more, it would be great to compile a whole list of "mean" IPS.
I do not care for this kind of intrusion (I equate this to exactly what spammers do to harvest your email...) then you can block these ips (route em to never never land.)
I'm sorry the GD-ROM was what made it difficult to copy the DC games.... the PS2 and XBOX both use formats that CAN be read on a regular drive... try and find a GDROM unit for sale for your pc... you don't find that at Frys... all the money they put into enabling that specialized interface was wasted. They could have used regular old CDROMS instead of the ugly GDROM's with the crummy control track.
I'm sorry spending all they did to STOP pirates by using the GDROM (primarily anyways, there were standard CDROM games used, but they were easily copied.)
I figured, this being about the history of the DC people would be educated as to my reasons. I guess not.
That, and I defended Copy Protection at all.

Broadband Adapter... if sega had any imagination when it came to pirates, they would have realized this was the one thing that would let them easily copy games.
first off... the tricorder device.... what exactly did it do.... anything like....
Other potential applications for the personal server include sensor data retrieval for science and biomedical purposes, and presentation and other mobile computing applications for business users.
this?
How about those nifty "communicators" were they anything like cell phones?.... hmm... he never put them together!
Want said in a recent interview that the uptake in wi-fi, the introduction of Bluetooth into mobile phones, and the miniaturization of storage media will contribute to the commercialization of his new product. At the moment, the personal server is a stand-alone device, but Want envisions it becoming a part of mobile phones, eventually.

But hey, it's always easier to complain than do anything. Says homer simpson, al bundy, and the 8 billion people who don't donate to the EFF and complain about the DMCA
The acting was sub par, the shots (in some cases the explosions set off in the background did not at all match the angle of the blanks being shot at them. (Things exploding directly behind the hero while he is being shot at..... not exactly perfect, but hey when you only got enough money for 1 take of explosions It's probably much better than all that.) I was looking forward to some high speed camerawork but alas, I can't get all I want. (Besides it's really friggen expensive to do that kinda stuff. matrixesque as it were)
there are trim adjusters... and I would say there needs to be some sort of computerized gyro system.... but then again, what sophisticated flight craft do we have that isn't flown by wire anymore?
The slipstream effect is a bother with a little thing like that tho.
That he is using burned CDS and pirate (free, but still abusing copyleft, so pirate I guess) software. If this is is primary M.O. you should have forced him to another auction site.
If people were allowed to vote online, anywhere, people would do some crazy things. And vote for very little reason ( websites facing prosecution could elect someone through web campaigns) So little do people care about already (who don't vote) that it's hard to understand why they don't.

Patenting programming techniques is like patenting words. Ok, so you patented a word, now nobody is going to use your word to make a sentence.
So you patented a programming technique, so now, either people stop using it, or keep using it, compile it and tell you to go F* yourself.
Also, this article means didly to me ever since someone patented clicking once, and then won a lawsuit based on it.

An anime spoof rendition of Strongbad for those not aware... however The blue hair is compelling.
This is not fair, there's no way strongbad can play Halflife on his 386.
If I can be coach Z I'll be happy.

Sounds like implant technology to me. Maybe in 20 years people with Muscular Dystrophy will be superhumans.
But then again, we can't even reproduce a nervous system.

It doesn't seem to matter.. Fileplanet and fileshack both have it...
What that means to us? Plenty of bandwith, but 1 outa 3 downloads will pass the CRC
yay ! E:\Downloads\maxpayneherodivx.zip: CRC failed in maxpaynehero.avi. The file is corrupt
download 1 complete... another hour to get the one that works.
don't mention this sarcastically outside of this post, or you will be deemed flaimbait.
On a lighter note I have already developed text blindness.... however it seems to have caused a rise in mispellings.
at about 220gigs you run out of all that kazaa has that isn't porn
Yeah, I'm SURE all the companies who went out with a bang and were sold on ebay in pieces believe the bust was a good thing.
And why would google go out of business I'm sure they're plenty rich from diluting google searches
