  3. Re:Sort of understandable on Your Right to Travel Anonymously: Not Dead Yet · · Score: 1

    I don't have a problem with police being able to show id in a public place, after all, it's too much of a chance of 1 person being able to cause harm to a large number of people by carrying a suicide bomb. Of course, I'm assuming all suicide bombers will have phoned in advanced to make sure the police know to arrest anyone with their id.

    If you can get the game installed in the first place ... alot of people had problems installing with the copyprotection, let alone playing.

    If Sealand started building cruise missles, I think the UK government would go up the wall, across the ceiling and back down the other side and have a seizure on the rug.

  7. Re:Still No Substitute For Close Supervision on A Parent's Guide To Linux Web Filtering · · Score: 1

    My personal belief is that kids under a certain age should NEVER be on the Internet without close supervision. As the kids get older, they should be given more freedom to explore by themselves, but monitoring software is still a good idea.

    My personal belief is that you're an asshat and that supervision is no replacement for parents teaching their kids decent values and letting them find their own way. I've been online unsupervised sicne I was at least 9 years old (1996) and being exposed to porn has had no ill side effects to be honest, I really don't see what the big deal is, parents are typically clueless when it comes to these things.

    Apparently portability of IPs is strictly forbidden according to an RFC on it, it's around here in the comments

    Wow, with GPS only accurate to metres rather than centimetres, better not have 2 machines within a few feet of each other otherwise one will have to do without it's own IP address.

    Your post is so fundamentally stupid I'm only replying to it as I seem to of become addicted to replying to dumbarse tard posts.

    If you're talking about the ESWC qualifiers, heh, yea, it went pretty badly, I was helping out by being an irc reporter bot listening to the TsN and it was pretty dire some of the delays, however the other quals (US, SWE) I heard went *alot* better.

  11. Re:Obviously a guard is needed... on Gates of Troy Gold Master Stolen, Delayed · · Score: 1

    Where have you been the last 10 years? They have the gold master, which can be copied and sold as pirate software before the game even gets to the shelves, and with the delay even earlier before it gets to the shelves.

  12. Re:Typo? on British Telecom Blocks Access to Child Porn Sites · · Score: 4, Insightful

    First off, yes, we have cable modems in Britain.

    The low down on British Telecoms is as so, you have 3 major telecoms providers, BT, NTL and Telewest. BT are everywhere, NTL and Telewest have fairly large areas, some you can only get one or the other, but you can always get BT.

    Now, BT are the major ADSL provider, NTL and Telewest are the cable providers. As stated in the article, BT have alot of ADSL resellers eg Yahoo! who according to the artcle, would come under this.

    If you want to leave BT, this leaves you with either most likely NTL or Telewest for cable, or switch to another ADSL provider. There are quite a few ADSL providers, if you already have ADSL through BT it should be perfectly possible to come off BT and the pricing is pretty competitive.

    However, even though there is an OK range of choice, I doubt we'll see any mass anti-censorship protest of people switching from BT as to the majority, you'll just look like you're against BTs efforts to clean up child pornography, and with alot of recent paedophile news over the last few years, you won't be very popular.

  13. Re:I can't see this selling well on Medal of Honor for Linux Released · · Score: 1

    Actually, the MoH multiplayer community is pretty alive and kicking considering the game has been out 28 months.

  14. Re:But UT2K4 remains not free on Unreal Gets Annihilated, Community Bonus · · Score: 1

    Atari will most likely release a nocd patch soon, like they did with UT2003. I think they hinted in the days after UT2004 was released but I can't back this up with any links.

  15. Re:Its like.... magic hardware. on Open Source Hotspots · · Score: 5, Informative

    Not accusing you of not RTFA, you probably just overlooked this bit by accident;

    Guess what? You don't always necessarily need a fixed wireless router device to create your own WLAN. You can do it with two machines that both have Wi-Fi cards, and leave more expensive APs out of the picture.

    There are a number of different ways to accomplish this with freely available GNU/Linux based open source software. A typical Linux distribution will generally allow you set up a Linux box as a 'wired' router, so turning it into a wireless router isn't really that big a leap.

  16. Re:Woo-hoo! on Open-Source Cube FPS Game/Engine Updated · · Score: 1

    Well, on my system, I read the readme file which says "Install, and run the cube.bat.", which funnily enough worked first time.

    Pretty awesome for an open source engine, just need to find a server with some players on =/

    I'm sure plugging an unpatched XP box in it is easier than finding the viruses myself, no joking, I bet I would have Blaster or Sasser before I managed to find them manually.
