But i do agree, aside from large malls, arcades are woefully under equipped...on the flipside, i once saw capcom's Dungeons and Dragons arcade box for under 400 bucks used...i drooled
But seriously, can anyone provide any info on just what exactly he did that cost 5000$ to clean up? Seems like he'd have to be a fool to actually break/steal/change something if he intended to report the intrusion afterwards
insulting or not, it's true. at least where i live (western north carolina) Granted, not everyone who shops at wally world is a redneck, but that is definitely not a store frequented by the high class of society
Okay, i could see this as being an interesting course on engineering in college, but give me a break, how many schools are going to be able to afford this? How many PTA moms are going to raise unholy hell when they learn their school is spending cash on teaching their precious Jimmy how to build a violent machine of destruction instead of textbooks written in the past five years?...how many *teachers* want to waste their summer going to that camp for no extra pay?

What if you constantly write code, and do more mundane typing on the same computer? You'll end up with the model leaning back and forth between optimized for programming and plaintext, how's that any better than qwerty or dvorak?
IT has been itching to seize control over the desktop ever since those rouge PCs yanked control from the terminal/mainframe days. This OS will help that greatly. Say goodbye to Personal in PC.
Yes, well, if it means keeping people from installing whatever they please on their work machines, which are there to do work on mind you, then I would say go for it. I'm not in the industry yet (still in school) but I for one would love to have something like Palladium that can set blanket policy on what can and can't run
Someone could publish a book with the same material in it. Suppose it flops and most of the copies are "stripped" and sent back to the publisher. Then, years later, CowboyNeal finds a copy of it. Same situation. You publish it when you publish it. The fact that no one cares to look at it is irrelevant
$67.00 a credit hour here. I can't stress this enough, tuition doesn't get any cheaper than that anywhere in the US.
Wow. Tuition at the CC i'm enrolled at is something on the order of 35 or so per hour...of course this also might explain why they were having trouble paying the teachers towards the end of last semsetr....
x/y where X starts with 1 and has some 6's after it, and y has an equal number of 6's and a 4, it reduces down. how useful that is i'm not sure, but it works.
Type II is basically a tournament type that only includes the newest set releases, and as best I can tell is just made for people who don't have the older cards. Type II also has a larger list of restricted/banned cards (hypnotic specter to name one) than Type I "Unlimited" tournaments. The way it works is a set will hit stores, and after a few weeks of playtesters and "real" players evaluating it for over powered cards/combos to errata, it will be phased into the Type II set for six months or a year or whatnot, and then phased out and replaced with somethhing newer. To me this sucks balls, because it means if you want to play tournaments (and not come up against someone who's been playing since Revised who plays with the really big guns) then you have to constantly buy new cards, and your older cards practically are dispoasable (at least towards the local group who play type II rabidly) if they're not phased in at the moment.
Amen to that. That was also one of the reasons i stopped playing regularly, the fact that a new set would debut every 3 months, and every one of these kids with rich parents would have a BOX of the new set, and be playing with the very latest pre-fab decks with spoon fed combos straight of the good ol' interweb.
The simple fact that many "hardcore" Magic players who have a real-world card collection worth hundreds or thousands and numbering in the many thousands of cards, will most likely not want to effectively start over building their cardbase online, esp. given the very valid points that the author of the article set forth.
I used to be into Magic, and still have my collection, but, if I'm going to pay for cards, I would much rather play with the whiny post-pokemon chits up the street at the card shop who throw a fit about me being cheap because my deck "isn't Type II"....Because next time when he comes up to me begging for a sweet trade for the foil whatever he got, i can smile and say "not interested." Can't do that online. at least, not with the same effect
I'm left-handed, I mouse with my right hand, and all of the other lefties I know do so as well. Am I just a freak or do people really mouse with the left?
If only Realplayer didnt install several other unasked for apps (realdownload? puh-leeze) and if only Quicktime didn't nag you to purchase the Pro version each and every time you used it, perhaps they would be more widely supported.
I always got a kick out of seeing some cartoon or other (forget the name) that started "In 1999 a stray comet knocked the moon from its orbit, plunging it into the earth" or something like that
And the parents that braved vicious shoppers and apathetic clerks just so they could brutalize their checkbook in order to have one for their kiddies the week they came out

Sad thing is, by the time Halo hits shelves, unless they do some enhancement, it will be Old News, and the Next Big Thing will be here.
So by your logic, anyone that downloaded anything from you on dialup would be breaking the law. Bzzt, wrong.
Kur5hin gets slashdotted...that'll do wonders for diplomatic relations..

Uh, sorry, that doesn't disprove his example.

Well yeah but I meant *legally* ;-)

It put a huge smile on my face to see the Atari logo upon starting Neverwinter Nights. What part did they have in the production of the game?

Woops. Janes could say they pack BFG9000s and I'd believe 'em. I stand corrected then
