If I were a real bastard, and since I would be in it for the money, I would be, I'd make the camera tamper-proof so that opening it would wipe the pics and keys.
1. Design and manufacture disposable digital camera, make it tamper-proof so that it erases all pictures when opened.

No Doom 3 This Year?

Also don't forget that the original DOOM and DOOM II engines were used as a base for other games in their time as well (Heretic, Hexen,...)
[...] the difference there is that they are assisting you do something, they are not initiating action on their own. You are already applying the brakes if the antilock brake system engages. You are already accelerating (and intending to) if traction control activates. You are already turning the car while the power steering turns the wheels.
Now I see - this system does exactly the opposite of what you intend to do! You want to sleep and all it does is blink a light, sound an alarm, hit the brakes....
As for driving on the snow, the last thing you want is for something to unexpectedly slam on the brakes, period.
Nobody said anything about *slamming* the brakes. It says that the car slowly starts to brake to reduce the speed of impact. It states that the car is even forbidden to stop entirely, which means there is no way it will hit the brake as hard as it can. And guess what: breaking slowly is exactly what you need in winter conditions.
So if I download at more than, say, 64kbps, I get a ticket. The faster I download, the more I have to pay. Have a few "cops" sit on random routers, eat donuts and watch the traffic roll by...
A friend of mine actually downloaded this without seeing the film before. It was because we both went to the midnight premiere and he slept thru 3/4 of the movie straight. After realizing it (in the morning at home), he said he wants to see it as well and downloaded a copy. BTW, we already have tickets purchased to see it once more, this time in the early afternoon hours:)

[...] if i could be the first one to get a copy of the hack...
As opposed to: "If I was the first to actually write such a hack..." I always wonder why do the people who write the hacks release them to the public. I can understand releasing the hacks/cheats to members of their guild/clan/group. If everyone has to write their own cheats, how many cheaters would be out there? Don't get me wrong, I am all out against cheaters. But if I found a guy is cheating, I would at least know, that he spent quite some time hacking the game. Not like those loosers who just download, unzip and voila!
Actually this happend on one of the Counter-Strike tournaments here - It was in the middle of a round, when the guy who was spectating and commenting (is that the word?) the game said to the public something like "The Terrorists don't have enough money in this round, so they will have to do with pistols only". At that moment, the opposing team stopped defending and simply hunted them down. Guesses if that guy commented any more games are up to the reader:)
No more than I spend installing, configuring, and maintaining windows. Less in fact. I never say, "how do you do x in *nix". But have said "how do you do x" in windows a good bit.
Well, since I am still a newbie in Linux (at least as an admin), but am taking care of a few Windoze servers for a couple of years, I can say basically the opposite. For me, the linux server is still mostly voodoo, but in Windows I simply know what to do. So this is more about personal experience, I guess.
My point is: if you never paid for a Linux distro at home, you have donated your free time to it. If you never paid for a Linux distro at work, than either because your company paid for it, or they pay a specialist (perhaps you) to take care of it.
Of course, if you don't mind the TCO, but just the cost of the software itself, then sure, Linux is free (beer-wise). But guess what - people in charge will never consider this a viable factor. That's why they still use Windoze everywhere - the cost of just the software is only a minor issue, compared to the TCO.
Of course you have paid for it. You spent your free time installing, configuring and maintaining it. Time is money, they say, and it is true in the business world. Or are you saying that you will set up and maintain any distro for free for some corporation in those "poor countries"? And what's more, an employee almost always costs a few times more than his actuall salary.
This is not about not having a car, its more about not using your car for going to work/school. I guess you don't carry "100+ pounds of groceries", or "trunkload of tools" everyday, do you?
That can't be. They surely will not name the new MS OS something like... Longhorn. Check the first screenshot. Do you see them mentioning Windows? I don't.
And more - imagine what building your own maps would be like - make the wall too thin and the whole building simply collapses from its own weight. Building a complex map would require real knowledge in architecture, which will stop many people from even trying. On the other hand, those which work would be true masterpieces.

What I meant was that designing and manufacturing such protection in a device, that is sold for $11, seems not very bright to me.

No, of course not. But you can always leave someone else's palm, as a warning, if you have something to cut it with
Just FYI, there are no hostages in de_dust.

But I want to see the thing, which will be used to bomb the targets. Some kind of mega-paint-bomb, perhaps

Why don't you drop by and help making that vision come true?
