Having devices leeching off your blood glucose supply would effectively boost the rate at which you're burning calories, forcing your body to break down fat to maintain blood sugar levels, without the nasty side effects of all those stimulant-based weight-loss pills on the market today.
As long as they dan run arbitrary code from a brought floppy or CD, and obscure the hax controls so that someone watching them won't notice, there's no stopping them.
How can they possibly be sure that nobody's hacking? Some clas might have their own secret home-grown hax that won't show up on any hack detectors (which basically just scan for KNOWN hax programs)
The ONLY way to ensure fairness would be to take all the computers the tournament will be played on, reformat the hard drives, reinstall windows, and never let that comp leave the observation of a tournament official for the rest of the tournament. With any other security measures it would be easy to circumvent them and cheat with secret clan-only programs. I doubt the organizers took such extreme measures though.
CS is ridden with cheaters, and there's not a damn thing admins can do about it aside from observing and guessing who's using the latest version of (insert hack here) that gets around all anti-hack scanners (until those get updated too). If the program is written well, it can be impossible to tell the difference btween a good player and a hack.
I believe I speak for all the nerds around here when I say it's always great to have more removable pr0n storage space!! w00t! That's almost as good as DVD+RW!
why does slashdot post fewer articles about current games that people actually play than about retro obsolete stuff that only 0.1% of the NERD population actually cares about?
...Oh wait, I never had one because Atari was overpriced rubbish and Nintendo beat the crap out of them with NES, the first home game console that actually succeeded in mass market!
It's not just that they're devoting an entire article to the imminent development of an obscure game on a decades-dead console, but the fact that almost nobody in the US has a 2600 or would even care if they did have one! Anything that can be done on a decades-dead console can be done 10 times better on a PC; get with the program!
When I saw "John Carmack" I thought "John Romero" and shuddered. People said Daikatana "crashed and burned", wait till you see when that oaf tries to blast himself into space...
that entire site is unfounded FUD propaganda. The only way to get a virus from p2p programs is if you're stupid enough to run questionable executables. You cant get a virus from a.avi file, unless there's some funky buffer overflow exploit, but when those go public they're generally fixed within a week or 2.
Paying the settlemenmts in microsoft software "vouchers"??? WTF! We're fighting over the right to get a fucking prebuilt computer without being forced to pay a built-in $80+ microsoft tax!
OFFTOPIC. Read the fine rest of the blurb, not just the headline, you FP troll. It obviously meant "sell" as in "convince" not "trade" if you bothered to read past the first line, you moron!
umm no, both of them are most definitely male. I don't see any signs otherwise in either of them. The top one just has smaller balls. he's getting fucked in the ASS, doesntr have a vagina
Snopes.com clearly displays obscenmer amounts of liberal bias. For example, the debunking of the "myth" that the Great Flood caused geologic superposition is rubbish!! Every right thinking american should be outraged by this liberal bias and write letters to their ISP demanding that this site be taken down! I've already set up a campaign page for destroying that evil liberal-biased site! Those damn biased reporters should stop whining and accept the obvious fact that Republicans stand for all that is Good and Right and liberals are just whining mental patients!

even if it isn't BYOC they can easilly smuggle in a CD (that will even get past metal detectors :)
Ridiculously successful my ass. NES was the first system to make it into more than 1 in 100 American households.
"Science" consised of homosexual men making up crackpot stories about how certain things began!
No, i don't understand why the hell anyone would bother to use an Abacus, for exactly the same reason.

OFFTOPIC. Read the fine rest of the blurb, not just the headline, you FP troll. It obviously meant "sell" as in "convince" not "trade" if you bothered to read past the first line, you moron!
how the hell can a first post be redundant?? take your mod stick out of your ass.
Then why has hardly anybody ever heard of it? There are very, very few freeware games that ever become popular.
I posted my troll LOGGED IN TO MY ACCOUNT with the +1 bonus from excessive good karma (mostly from good karma whoring)

You should be fired just for reading this slashdot garbage while you're supposed to be working! Dumbass!
