  1. Re:Illusion on In-Game Advertising Makes Games Better? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The problem is there is a very small segment of games that fit the model. You can't throw ads in yet another WW2 shooter, or some fantasy world, LOTR, etc. So if in game advertising is where people want to go, most of our games will end up being current time, or near future.

  2. Just remember the first rule of RAID 0 on RAID Trust Issues — Windows Or a Cheap Controller? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    You lose your data twice as fast!

  3. Re:Combined FUD, Maby-FUD and Not-FUD... on iPhone SDK and Free Software Don't Match · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If I had mod points, you would get them. GPLv2 software is perfectly fine on the iPhone, it's only GPLv3 software.

  4. moon.google.com on First 10 Teams in $30M Google Lunar X Prize Announced · · Score: 1

    You know that they are doing this so they can index all the space dust on the moon.

  5. I wonder what hashes to that on Censoring a Number · · Score: 1

    There is some value that when hashed with a 256 bit hash will come out as that key.

    The verification number only shows that the vote you entered was included in the database. It does not show who you voted for, only that there is a vote in the database that matches the number you have.

  7. RRFW on Managing Huge Networks with Open Source Tools? · · Score: 3, Informative

    rrfw.sf.net is a nice gem of an app. It can automatically discover a lot of high end snmp equipment, and set itself up for monitoring that equipment. It's a mix of XML and Perl, and is really easy to add support for more hardware.

  8. You will have more luck just monitoring it. on Disabling Wireless Networks? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Most of the other posters here have mentioned ways to flood the network with bssids, etc. Chances are this will not work since the bssid's will be chosen by the cheaters. You will probably have more luck running kismet or some other sniffing tool to monitor the wireless network. Then you can see if anyone tries to use the wireless network.

    I guess the easy way to get her to stop asking would be to just say yes.

  11. Re:Simple on Xbox Linux Made Possible Without a Modchip · · Score: 1

    The thing is the exploitable XBE is still signed. This means that you could copy the exploitable XBE back over the updated one, and re-exploit it.

  12. Re:My PHP tips on Elegant PHP Architectures? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Take what the above poster said, but use base.php instead of base.inc. Using .inc files is asking for trouble when you deploy it on a server that does not restrict access to files with a .inc extension and someone decides to look at database_passwords.inc

  13. Re:Non-Biased reporting on Evolution in Action · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I fail to see how this disproves creationism. I don't think the official meaning of creationism includes the idea that all species are static and will never change, just that the first species were created, rather then evoloved.

  14. Re:Why can't we think for ourselves? on Ready, Steady, Evolve · · Score: 1

    Took the words right out of my mouth. Something to add is that faith is required of being a Chrisitan. If there was not an alternative to Christianity, people would call themselves Christian, and think themselves to be a Chrisitan not because they have faith, but because there is no alternative.

  15. Re:MOTOROLA-Power PC is a deprecated Processor. on NetBSD Now Supports Dual Power PC Processors · · Score: 1

    30 FPS your eye can detect? Strange that a "Flicker Free" monitor is rated at 72 hz. If your eye can only see 30 fps, I'd expect that 30hz would be the line for a flicker free monitor.

  16. Re:WarCraft 3? on Transgaming's WineX 2.1 - Supports WarCraft 3 · · Score: 1

    Ya, war sure would be great if both sides waited until the other built up before attacking so they could properly fight a strategic battle. I'm not saying RTS's like wc3 are like war sims, but the first attack, having a great economy, and production line is a great strategy to win a war. Now because a game allows someone to win in the first 10 minutes, maybe that's a balance issue with the game, but just because your a slow builder dosent make the other player any less strategic.

  17. a wireless access point may be better on Attack Of The Dreamcasts · · Score: 1

    Why not just drop in a WAP, and then connect in from your laptop outside the building. Some Wireless access points can even run linux

  18. Re:Pathetic laptop cases are everywhere on Cracked Compaq Laptops? · · Score: 1

    My 8100 is doing the same things to me. I found that by opening the pannel between the keyboard and LCD and removing and replacing the cable going to the LCD fixes it.

    I have used mod_bandwitdth to a certain extent, it may have what your looking for. I would love to hear about other solutions though.

  20. Yes! on Games in High School? · · Score: 1

    Although it was quite a few years ago, from grades 7-9 on wednesdays, we were allowed to go down to the computer lab, and from about 3 until 5 we were allowed to play games. There was alot of warcraft, and decent being played (on 486 25's and 33's) Inorder for us to be able to play doom, I needed to open up the wad file, and edit out all of the blood, I changed it to a green goo. I think that schools should allow students to play games on their computers, outside of school hours. All schools have sports teams, drama clubs, and band groups, but for the student who may not the best basketball player, and not outgoing enough to act well, they really dont have any way to have an identity belonging to the school. Schools allow use of their fields, their gym's, and their class rooms for extra ciricular activity, why should the computer labs be any different. By allowing students to play games on their computers, a school provides another way for a student to accell, and be accepted by their peers.
