    It is entirely possibe for Valve to release an installer for HL2 that will install the game from the cd and patch it to not require authentication.

    Funny. Those prices are clearly set so that GBA costs "half" of DS. You know "$70" vs. "$140", when they actually cost $80 and $150.

    Balance doesn't mean that if one person speaks the truth for 10 minutes, you have to have another person to lie for 10 minutes.

    Me too. A couple of examples:

    When you search for images of "Dramatic Disneysea" in Japanese, a recent event in Tokyo Disney Resort (it ran during summer-fall 2004) , you find no images.
    When you search for an event from the year 2002, "D-Pop Magic", you get 173 results.

    Both return thousands of results in the normal search.

    I'm pretty sure that if they did decide to use the game in some way, they probably would give some kind of credit.

    At least my impression of Rockstar has been that the are not assholes.

    I don't think they have to buy the rights from him, I'm pretty sure thay can just take the game from him and use it in any way they want.

    Not that I'm a lawyer, though...

    The Game cube's mini-DVD's are not any more expensive to produce than any other optical disk. The UMD disk the PSP uses is the same, even if has some extra cost from having a cartridge around it.

    From the press release:

    PSP features an integrated high output lithium-ion battery that provides play time of between 4 and 6 hours for game titles and continuous 4 to 5 hours for video viewing. (SCEI actual measurement) [...] Measurement conditions: display luminance set to maximum (180 cd/m2) and minimum (80 cd/m2) while volume is set to half of the maximum level, headphone in use and wireless LAN not in use.

  16. Re:Some interesting game behavior... on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Launch · · Score: 1

    Getting multiple tanks in VC is really easy. There is this one mission where you have to steal a tank. Before you go on it, buy the big apartment building with big garages in the north-west part of Vice City.

    Steal the tank as you would in the mission, drive it to the garage and let it explode. When you open the garage doors, it will be good as new. Repeat until you have enough tanks/the garages are full.

    Copy protection always hurts legitimate buyers only. There will always be someone whose cd-rom drive is not compatible with the copy protection scheme. Copy protection has never stopped people from running a pirated version of the game on their pc. The same thing applies to copy protection in music.

    Well, if it doesn't have it, I'm pretty sure GTA: The Next One will have it, since it seems many people really noticed that part of the trailer.

    I just want to drive the combine harvester. And the bulldozer sounds interesting as well. And thank god the boats won't be such deathtraps as before. You got in the boat but you never got out. Either the boat exploded with you inside or you missed the shore when jumping out.

  24. Re:Options 4 and 5. on Big Day For Browser Vulnerabilities · · Score: 2, Informative

    In fact, I'd like to see a list of options that will allow me to set exactly what JS can and can't do.

    As an Opera user, I like to answer these.

    * Ability to open up a new window when I request it (onclick)

    Block unwanted pop-ups

    * Ability to do useful DOM stuff

    Well, this I really can't answer, since I don't know your useful. But most of the sites I see work just fine when I have enabled Javascript

    Out:-

    * Scrolling text in status bar

    Allow changing of status field

    * Anti-Right Click

    Allow script to receive right clicks This option unfortunately doesn't stop the script from receiving middle clicks. Very annoying when trying to auto scroll around the page.

    * onload/onexit

    Can't ve stopped in Opera. (To my knowledge at least)

    * resize window

    Allow resizing of windows

    * tell me that i can't have a URL box or status bar on a popup

    This depends entirely on how you have customized your toolbars. My status bar and url box are in non-window specific toolbars, so in a way none of my windows have status bars and url boxes, but they get updated depending on which window I have last clicked.

    * stupid 'effects'

    Again, depends on your definition of stupid.

  25. Re:An important security sidenote on IE Shines On Broken Code · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A program must never crash because it received bad data. You always have to validate user input and there must always be sanity checks. If the browser receives malformed code, at worst it can give an error message, but it must never crash.

    Crashes are always considered bugs.
