are such a bunch of lowly, below-the-belt hitting thugs. Why(how) the fuck are they still in business is a fucking wonder.
My only observation is that they've been dragging their miserable existance through miscellaneous Microsoft monopoly-related restrictions (antitrust lawsuits and such involving windows media player).
Sadly most of the poor dopes who are dumb enough to get suckered into downloading their malware are often too inexperienced to remove all the stolen associations and rectify the other fucked-up un-invited changes it inflicts. This is what this company thrives on. This iPod hack is a startling analogy to this, only taken now to the hardware level.
This parasitic existance that defines their work ethic is not only absurd but disgraceful. Please, with my blessing, die a painful, slow, harrowing death. May those in the descision-making wings of the Real corp. be forever haunted by the spectre of this great failure that you have spawned, and die unemployed and destitute.
Just what we need next for the 10, 12, and 13 year olds who have already been tainted with the likes of filth on MTV, modern radio, and modern cinema. The video game is the obvious next medium of choice to curropt the minds of our current generation of impressionable youth.
McDonaldization does this. This is the result of a liberal, capitalistic free market based society. Why is a man of this intellectual caliber surprised by this?
They'll be pressed to find a more enthralling debacle than what happend with Bush and Floridia last election - maybe this foreseen disaster will give them just what they need to keep everyone hooked.
Programs like XBConnect give you a friends list as well as chatrooms where likeminded people can meet and organize a game.
It takes advantage of the xbox LAN connectivity (all xbox's have ethernet adapters included by default, and can be connected via hub/switch for large multiplayer battles) and emulates the packet structure, fooling the xbox into thinking traffic that is sent through the internet is legitimate and is taking place on a LAN. Most games that support LAN play work with it already; there is no need for an xbox live subscription at all.
I remember it like yesterday. After years, literal years of hype, when the game finally released to the 1,000's of people who had already preordered the game, their credit card registration webpage woulden't work. The entire community, many of whom literally had the date makred off on their calanders (my time in the forums lends credence to my statements), were left to sit, wonder, and wait. It wasn't until hours later that day that it did work, and when it had, many of the game servers didn't work.
This bumpy start acts as a painfully accurate analogy to the overall zeitgeist (oh god I love that word) of the game, the game's gameplay, the developers struggling and meger attempts to suffice their loyal, rampant and huge fan base; and almost every aspect of the Star Wars Galaxies experience.
Custom made motherboards with two PCI Express slots. Saw the actual board on TechTV a few weeks ago.
Still not sure whether they've patented it or not - hopefully not so we'll be able to but these mobo's from other vendors and build these rigs ourself without paying alienware an extra $1500 for unnecessary services.
Judging by how long it's taking the industy AND general public to accept HDTV... well, if it's any indicator, then we might want to take a rain check on these.
By the time they (UHDTV - creative name, huh...)HYPOTHETICALLY are released to public, it woulden't be much to assume that there will be an entirely new technology out that'll completely overshadow it. Right now digital projectors are all the rage, who knows where that'll lead.
I can't believe such an intelligent audience is categorizing these things in the same group.
Here is a rebuttle from one (myself) who ardently supports what Aubrey de Grey is trying to accomplish, in reference to the likes of you "(insert label here) is waiting for a miricle drug" people:
I will simply quote George Carlin (one of his Self-Help book ideas)- "Eat right, stay fit, die anyway"
Boil down the obfsucated high-brow talk, and the information you want is this;
The FBI sends out what are called National Securiy Letters (NSLs) requesting password and other private information from suspected individuals from their ISPs, and the ISPs are foced to comply without admitting this to their customers even if querried.
That's it.

Agreed... the new G4 is really, really low. You just don't get the kind of genuine spontaneity with the G4 shows as you did with TechTV. They were a real community, a small nitch of people who you got to know, it was really a lot of fun.
The dialogue and narration on G4 feels so rehersed and forced, typicle of a giant beaurocracy. And with Leo now not holding any important role other than 1 minute pre-taped segments aired on the new, alienated screen savers... really miss that guy.
The new screen savers is analogous to the new wayne's world after it had been baught by some tv corp. and done on a set.. that's just the feeling you get with G4.
With a modded XBOX you can already do all that (minus burning CDs) and so much more... emulation from mame to atari 2600, and all consoles in between (even N64), and let's not forget Xbox Media Center, which will without doubt blow whatever Action Replay has to offer.
The description for `Destroy All Humans!' wherein it is explained that the player gets "to probe farmers, slaughter cows, and do all the awesome little things that aliens [or depraved japanese soldiers] do" seems at first like it would be more fitting for the description of the whacked-out japanese pinball game, when one considers the more modern "art of Japanese warfare," which (circa 1930-45 mind you) consists of such artistic elements as recruiting women of foreign countries by the 1,000's to act as sex slaves for japanese troops, using civilian women and children as bayonet practice (while alive), and then completely erasing it from their modern teachings/history books.

"...substantially increase the chance.."
"This would seem..."
Word will spread and some patriotic script kiddie with a huge bot net will flex his capitalistic pride and this website will be at the brunt of it.

It's already been done - at least somewhat.

Amazing.
Has nothing to hide.
You would think the destruction of two sky scrapers and the death of over 3000 would knock some sense of reality into all ye ACLU zealots.
Need they drop a nuke or dirty bomb before such methods of interrogation is accepted? They're likely to be whats next, anyway.
Hard to pathom any American, even the most fanatic left idealist, could prioritize an intangible 'right' over the lives of thousands, if not millions.
