I had roughly the same experience with their manufacturing quality as you did, except with a 1993 Dodge Caravan. Engine failure, broken switches, peeling paint. Every time it went into the shop, it was another three-hour dissertation with the idiot customer service.
I would imagine a properly-designed anti-virus program would detect anomalous activity (say, scanning a lot of files for strings) as something that might be akin to a virus; it probably ignores the built-in Windows find file functionality.
Think about it: It makes lots of sense to block that, because how many times per day do you have a piece of software that scans almost your entire harddrive for files (outside of search programs and apps built into the OS)?
What exactly is new here that Alienbrain doesn't offer? I guess there are those proprietary APIs for XBox Live compatibility and XBox controller polling..
If you go to Apple's XCode page, for XCode 2.0 apparently it automatically "vectorizes" applications to take advantage of this. So if not now, probably in the future (unless they're afraid of their newest tools, like Microsoft's internal use of Win2K).
My feeling is that with an increased amount of computer science grad students finding out they can write papers on games, some university libraries may start carrying something like this.
I mean, who wouldn't want to do a paper on the "player-chasing" dynamic? You could do case studies on Pac-Man, GTA, etc.
I know some people right now who are doing papers on game AI -- this would fit right in for a bibliography.
I'd be surprised if console games had enough of them written in assembly these days to justify switching platforms just because the assembly language is slightly harder to work with.
Well, so far the guys at DSDev have managed to get the DS's "Play Downloaded Game" feature to display a title and icon of their choosing.
I'm not aware of the particulars, try joining the forum and going along.
For Canadians, I know the University of Calgary has a bog-standard computer science degree with a "game design concentration" that entails taking graphics courses and a few game dev courses.

Too bad it's an April Fools joke. The PS2 users are a blight on the game.
Well, Linux definitely has more games than the DS at this point. What a completely dismal line-up.
Imagine an exponential beowulf cluster.

He is only the ,a href="http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=2 000-07-05&res=l">finest game designer ever.
b) Apple hardware is desired over your Average Joe's box from Dell or HP.
Especially when it's free.
I know Zelda was. I have a feeling Metroid and Kid Icarus were as well.
Didn't white papers use to be heavy on technical content?
In the eighties, maybe. I haven't seen a proper white paper since the www took off and being a content-free idiot was trendy.

ext2 and ext3 are supported by third-party drivers; I imagine the same is true for reiser.
The exploit is seven years old; linking to it will not cause an internet kill frenzy.

I barely even use the mouse in OS X. I get the feeling it's going to waste on me.

I'm on the LAN with this server right now and I'm getting extremely slow response from it. Thanks!

At least they're bright enough to rip off tripwire, instead of some other rootkit detector.
Don't you have anything better to do with your life other than click on pictures of monsters and increment numbers in a database far away?
Don't you have anything better to do than post?
Did he buy the same game from both stores? Did the employees of both conspire in his shadowy, smoke-filled basement to have him kill these people?
I, for one, am tired of companies conspiring to turn me into a murderer. It started with Applebee's, and now it's infected our beloved game stores.
Not making a version of IE for the Mac is probably a good thing. The OSX version is pure trash.
