-People play and see the radio in the beginning room now has a green light -Carry it around and notice it makes strange broadcast interference noises in certain places
Well that's just wrong. The radios are hidden on every map, it's literally not possible to carry a radio between puzzles.
They were already mandatory to anyone with more than 3 brain cells. No matter how careful you are, the chances of you logging in on a compromised machine are just too great. An authenticator removes absolutely any chance of a compromised account.
And for anyone who doesn't want the physical fob, it's quite easy to just load the cell phone based authenticator on a cell phone emulator.
This is horrible and highlights what a backwards and, frankly, stupid company Sony has become. They have some of the greatest hardware but refuse to take into consideration either the consumer or apparently the programmer now.
I remember hearing a lot of pre-grumbling from developers that Cell was going to be difficult to develop for, and it looks like that has come true. And to those who say, "so what, they should work harder," consider this: if it's too annoying, what's to stop them from switching development to the 360? Practically nothing. Getting better quality games out faster is better for developers than wrestling and having a bit prettier graphics with twice the development cycle.
And to those of you saying that's not what his comment says, look at it again
"We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that (developers) want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so then the question is, what do you do for the rest of the nine-and-a-half years?"
That seriously looks like he is suggesting, in fact I think he's outright stating, that they didn't want the best games to come out initially. Thus, there is all possibility that they made things intentionally difficult because they think developers will cater to THEM, that they'll struggle at first and put out initially poor games before "getting a hang of it" and coming out with the best at the end. That is incredibly pig-headed, business-poor, and shows that Sony really doesn't understand how the gaming industry works. People buy the console that has the best games, not the one that might. If PS3 released with the best games the system will ever have, they might have sold more PS3 units than PS2.
My god, you fool. It's just like gasoline-electric cars, there are no real pure-electric cars out at the moment because they have too many flaws, but hybrids are on the rise because it has a little of the electric advantage with the proven performance of gasoline.
Say what you want, but thats actually pretty damn cool. I just wonder if it'll ever be part of a handbag, as solar panels don't exactly fit in with most schemes on Coach bags...
Finally companies are standing up and saying "well thats a load of horseshit." Because really, it is, it says those devices are only used to steal music...
"Computer hacking is not fun and games. Hackers cause real harm to real victims," U.S Attorney Michael Sullivan said in the statement. "Would-be hackers...should be put on notice that such criminal activity will not be tolerated."....or not. i mean i know the companies are blameless for having a really obvious security hole up, but these kids should be put to death if they are the ones to find it and just mess around, instead of someone doing it and causing REAL harm
pretty much just says "only allow things you know and prohibit everything else" what it fails to think about is, in that case the number of retarded "Why cant i run app x" will be multiplied by 1000...
I still say we shanghi the HC mod author for saying "durrr I didn't really write it it was in the game already." its like he did it to prove and advertise that it was in the game.
im on a pda right now and browsers are 5-6 years behind the rest of the internet, so i cant see the skins presented...but i always laughed that ye ol slashdot was far behind standards. regardless, CSS lets me make a custom skin to get away from eye-splitting green on white.
This is just...amazing. I think next, we should sue car companies who pay to have their cars featured in movies where the cars are used to commit crimes (speeding, drive bys, etc).
Not a perfect analogy but its very akin. Kazaa said "you can find millions of files on our product." That is 100% true. It is also NOT hard to find millions of perfectly legal files on the Kazaa network.
This is just like my school, which has their distro of Red Hat hard coded to NOT play MP3s. XMMS is included but it will literally NOT PLAY MP3s. Their reasoning: they're a vehicle for piracy. Anyone remember when they were saying hte same about CD burners? How about VCRs? How about tapes?
This just gets dumber and dumber the farther things go. It's almost like they're saying that the company should not say you can find any type of file on their product (then why would people want it?), but I'm sure they'd find something wrong anyway.
Bomb the RIAA and MPAA. They want to make an example of Kazaa, I want to make an example of them.
I was at Quakecon, which was sponsored by Intel. Saturday (i think it was, it's all a haze) an AMD guy came and in front of the center was passing out AMD shirts and tattoos. By the time he was out of shirts one of the Quakecon organizers came over and started yelling at him that he "couldn't be there", and AMD wouldn't be a future sponsor if he stayed. They went off to the side and yelled for a while. I went and got something to eat.
On the way back I see the AMD guy walking away from the center, with a huge stack of temp tattoos in his hand. I ask for one, he gives me THE WHOLE STACK and says "don't let them see these or theyll take your badge and kick you out".
Later that day I saw him and his coworker as they were leaving, they gave me about 10 more shirts, which I gave to all my friends. I personally put an AMD tattoo on my forehead and wore the shirt...my friend went and started passing tattoos out in front of the Intel booth and a guy literally ran up, pushed him, and started yelling "what the fuck are you doing, you're not allowed over here anymore!"
Finally, we can stop those goddamn hackers from stealing Sony's money by running a Nintendo emulator on their $250 unit combined with the $60 memory stick they bought! Stupid kids want everything for free, god bless Sony for taking back what was theirs!
"The real question is what killer apps will come out of all this PSP hacking"
Uh lets see...IRC, telnet, web browser...all are ALREADY OUT. theres already a program that interfaces with an infrared keyboard and can read its input (and can be easily modified for any keyboard if you just read the IR codes in correctly).
Way to be on the cutting edge, guys
And most likey, the PSP acts as a USB host, so wow he just changed a connector. Amazing!!111
1) Find like-minded people close 2) Buy powerful wireless router + good antenna 3) Set up in person closest to middle's place 4) Split internet cost 5) All profit, baby.
would be to lower everybodys taxes immediatly, THEN do the tax-by-mile thing. pay for what you use. I know thats what the republicans are thinking (assholes that they are), but of course, they wont do it right, they'll keep taxes at the same level, but charge other ways.
although the database of people's travels DOES bother me, a lot. then again, I dont live in CA anymore.

You're not full of shit or anything
Using a Qtopia handheld myself, I can say it doesnt really count as "linux" persay
1) Find like-minded people close
2) Buy powerful wireless router + good antenna
3) Set up in person closest to middle's place
4) Split internet cost
5) All profit, baby.
Interesting, we forgot that Mac people dont understand computers, and how you can build your own when you use real components.
Wait a minute
Since when did Texas get the internet?
If it ever achieves 99% full speed (I know thats asking a lot) I will pay for a copy, even if it is free.
If it can ever emulate OS X at 80%, I will pay for a copy. Not because I like OS X, but because that would be an incredible feat of programming.
I do want to see this guys code though, it's probably a work of art by now.
would be to lower everybodys taxes immediatly, THEN do the tax-by-mile thing. pay for what you use. I know thats what the republicans are thinking (assholes that they are), but of course, they wont do it right, they'll keep taxes at the same level, but charge other ways.
