But isn't Office the only product making money for MS?... Or is it because of people running Office on non-windows OSes (or old versions of windows) that Office is the only part making money?...or did that only apply to a particular quarter of a year a short while back?
Er... I don't know about the other games in that list, but the Command & Conquer series was made by Westwood Studios, which was bought out by EA... after the buyout the games did indeed suck...
There are other ways to lose Top Secret clearance than just giving away secrets... If you go into debt, pop positive on any drug tests, or become an islamic extremist you can lose your TS clearance...

If that was what they actually came up with, it would be just as bad for passwords as for digital signatures... You don't need the orginal password to log in, just another that generates the same hash... at least on my old (1996) AWARD BIOS based computer... (talking about a bios password, not windows or linux, or insert_other_os) tried one of those bios password rertrievers and it gave a completely different password...but it still worked...
However, the method these people came up with requires the modifying of both chunks of data to get two that have the same hash... Not nearly so useful as you thought...
what if the equivilent of a keylogger is hooked up between the scanning device and the computer so that it gets the data taken from your input? then they just need to reconnect it somewhere and voila... the computer thinks that you're there...
People have forgotten that before apple came along there was a fragmented music space with DRM that meant you couldn't move songs between computers, burn them to CD's, and stores run by companies that were no fun to do business with.
Are you thinking of liquidaudio, or is there something else I'm not remembering?
Take Two for ensuring that EA cannot get an exclusive rights deal with yet another sport conglomeration while still allowing EA and others the ability to contract and use the names of the players in a healthy competition. May the maker of the best MLB-licensed game win.
er... there is a difference between a mere rumour and Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt... The slashdot bug is the one where the link column on the left partly overlaps the stories, right? Truthfully, that bug doesn't really bother me that much, even as an avid reader of slashdot...
so he's become the subject of mystic crystal crap fake TV documentaries. In the rest of the world he's just the guy who came up with the best system that did a lot of experimentation to find out what would work.
I'm trying to figure out which person you're referring to, the documentary bit seems to point at tesla, but the other part points at edison...
Doesn't mirrordot make the mirrors by checking what links are on slashdot? Kind of hard to post a link to a mirror that won't be there until you post the original in the first place...
well, even MORE likely, is that they used some nice javascript block at the top of their page that looks something like:

Another reason it was around was to let people play in a large LAN using the battle.net matchmaking features and ladders in the games... If they had had the code to verify that the CD Keys were in fact legit, there would have been worse problems than people playing pirated games using bnetd...

ahh... you like AOL Keywords?
and if the rar is self-extracting?
She's just her own WAN...

Unless you have a 2000 model ThinkPad T22 - Linux version...
That would have been funnier with the comma over one word to the left...

Spyware are programs either secretly installed by a base program
...You are aware that that is, by defnition, a trojan?
I think it's more that the manual install forces you to read the gentoo install docs than just the manual install by itself...
Exact story I was thinking of, although I think I read it elsewhere...
Are you saying that bringing ideas together in a way not done before is not itself an idea?

You've heard stories of the infamous $2 bills still floating around the US, haven't you?

er... text to speech wouldn't help much given that this is digital audio. They'd be using voice recognition...
On the contrary, StarOffice shot up in price by several million percent, and then some... (was free, now not...)

A java/flash, etc. applet would work, wouldn't it? Or do they limit the daily use with some sort of developer account embedded in the code?
