  1. Re:This is nothing new on Build Your Own MMOG · · Score: 1

    Except that BYOND is only 2D - Multiverse is 3D.

  2. Re:Two hands on Is the Half-Life 2 EULA Illegal? · · Score: 1

    It should in no way be illegal - if people don't like this scheme, they won't keep buying products that use it.. and it'll die.

    And besides, this doesn't mean you're leasing it, since (AFAIK) you don't have to pay a monthly fee to register with Steam

  3. Re:NAT on Clean System to Zombie Bot in Four Minutes · · Score: 1

    For the most part it's brilliant, but as has been said several times, it only stops the remote exploits and doesn't (can't) do anything about local user-activated ones. I've got my Windows machine running behind a NAT box and haven't had virus/malware/etc problems with it for a at least 4 years now.

    At least until new flatmates moved in and started using my computer - dozens of bits of adware and trojans in one night!

  4. Re:What about dynamic compliation? on JIT vs AOT Compilation · · Score: 1

    This is exactly what Suns client VM does - it'll only compile a block of code if it is executed multiple times; if you use the server VM it'll precompile all code though.

  5. Re:Sun has this info for free... on Decompiling Java · · Score: 1

    It sounds to me like the book is talking about decompiling to Java code rather than just getting readable bytecode from class files. javap is the tool that comes with the JDK to get readable bytecode from class files, but this in no way resembles actual java code, and is not very useful as a reverse engineering tool

  6. Re:Some things on Possible Half Life 2 Troubles in Australia · · Score: 1

    Anyways, why can't they just treat the games like movies and have bold warnings on the package and allow the reatailers to self-enforce the restrictions on child use of video games?

    When I begged my mom to buy me a leisure suit larry when I was like 15 she sould read the box and say no, this is smut. I don't know why we can't live with that in today's protectionist world...


    Indeed, and hasn't it been demonstrated a lot that if a game is censored/banned, everyone runs out and buys it.. it amazes me that governments and lawmakers don't see that

  7. LeJOS? on .Net On Lego Mindstorm · · Score: 2, Informative

    Nice to have a mainstream dev environment? LeJOS is a Java VM for the brick and will let you run Java programs on it - and it's been around for a long time now (I've been using it for a couple of years). Seeing some of the things people have done with it is impressive - a Rubiks cube solver, vision systems using RPC stand out.
