Good job, Microsoft, just give the enemy more info on your employees and practices, that's a great idea. Why don't you just slap up an FTP site with a binary of Windows and hand him the URL? I'm sure he'll feel real bad about using what he learns for evil for a few days, until he decides it would be cooler to use it and be the undefeated champion of the black hat universe.
EA (sports giant) + MMORPG with virtual money = Online virtual sports gambling! Play bookie or betting junkie, and buy more credits with real money! Now with extra realism -- If you can't pay, they come and break your virtual leg and your real leg too!
The best part about going to the new "real life DDR" (a dance club) is that if you can get the moves down, the "score" part is way better than in the game!
There are good reasons to stick to card games like Poker, i can think of at least 11 million great reasons to give Poker a chance. If Magic had that kinda money in it, I think a lot more people would be trading those "killer" decks, and there would be some really interesting big hands.
It's tough to deal with a prediction that results in your own demise. Sure, we can all guess what it would be like, but there's one problem: in all likelyhood, a disaster that kills all but a select few is probably killing YOU too! Boy, that sucks! The trick is, how to remain one of the survivors without knowing in advance which doomsday scenario is gonna be the one to decimate the majority of the population.
This story pulls at the heart strings for sure, but it also intimates that the test itself is wrong. I don't think it's negligence THAT the beta drug hurt you; rather, it's negligence that they're not paying you for it. Someone eventually has to test a drug that may have side effects. Now if they unleashed this pill without tests... that would be negligence if the drug then hurt people.
There are many good reasons to switch to American Idol call-in voting. 1. They still have the electoral college, so it's not like a spam vote will elect the "wrong" candidate. 2. Since the NSA monitors all phone calls, they could track cheaters really easily, compared with this mess we have now. 3. Way more voter participation, you don't have to go anywhere, you just call in with your social or something, etc.
It makes a difference because the motivation behind your vote can motivate others, and enough votes will definitely yield the desired result. A close election might get handed to the incumbent through their connections, but a landslide will send the appropriate message.
Just look at what happens here. Someone posts anything technical, and a flame war starts. If you leave out the details, it becomes unlikely that the flame war will start, because there's not enough there to decide if the author is on the opposite side from "you" and "your" tech ideology.
That's enough to make anyone cry, when you have to pause a game, you can't save it, and you lose power, or your kid sister fucks it up, or something, and you lose a night of magically great strategy and level-beating prowess!
Yeah, 8 cores is too much like 8 Megs of RAM is too much. Maybe for today's single-core apps, and low-core O/S stuff, but tomorrow? Tomorrow I want as many cores as you can put on there, why not? What famous last words... now AMD will come out with some cheap fab process, make a 512-core chip and kill Intel to death!
You could always put up pictures to help people with how to tell what ripe fruit of whatever variety looks/feels like. It's relatively easy with bananas, but you cant' squeeze tomatoes to tell if they're ripe. The only thing we need stickers for is mangoes, because no one in the world knows when a mango is ripe!
Public access feel missing

24 Hours with G4

The G4 channel is missing the hardware/software hacking stuff big time. They need that public-access feel. Forget that hot girl, get some guy with an spf 3000 tan in front of a wall of machines with a hand scanner securty system in his basement. The opening shot where he says 'Not now mom, I'm on the air! So anyways, check this out...' lets you know you're about to see something incredible.
I'll be happy when a kinetic model(tm) comes out, which is like a kinetic/automatic wristwatch and requires no batteries, provided you're moving the mouse, it can radio back the position.
For cop cars, its not really an issue, because they could potentially type in your plate number to determine if your car is hot -- but let's not forget, the car probably wont have plates at all, or the plates wont match the vehicle. That is something that a license plate checker doesnt tell you -- if that 98 corolla is in fact a 99 corolla... you have to look and see that for yourself.
The point is that if he can force something like a class action, then maybe we can all jump in and get some cash back from the MPAA, even if you don't have enough money to defend yourself.
Google's doing some good stuff, given what they have to work with compared to the kind of money AT&T/Bell Labs had. I mean, Bell Labs more or less developed LED's, UNIX and C, so you can just imagine the kind of budget that requires!
BitTorrent and P2P aside, maybe they'll just do a big server/big pipe and "x seconds until your stream is available" model. I mean, if the demand is that high, surely it will be easier to manage ad sales,etc. if everything's coming from one place... which should make it easier to expand as well, because you just keep adding systems until you can handle the new bandwidth, then charge for more ads, add more machines, and repeat.
How many commercial products can I carry up there? I'd think that the licensing on pictures of me doing air guitar in space with a big ad for some online casino would probably be in the 6 figures at least, and for a network tv ad like a super bowl ad, i could probably come close to making back my investment to go up there.
We really got socked last time because the religious right will all go out and vote, and for some reason, as passionately as our generation feels about things, not enough of us made our voice heard at the final hour. Please, please put down the iPod for 2 seconds and go out and vote this time!
Funny you should mention foil... it was solid gold, but "beaten from a heavy gold sheet". So they apparently took a massive piece of foil, and hammered it into itself until it was solid fucking gold! http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/tutcoffins .htm

I meant "something valuable to hackers", my bad! We all know you can get compiled versions of Windows at a Chinese 7-11 for $2.50.

Not voting is the same as a vote for the various (accused) incumbents.

Hmmm, me not know what you're talking about... Basic grammar & spelling has never been issues here. /ha

So if I am able to crack this from looking at it, they'll have to declare my brain the "programmers tool of choice?" Or would it go to notepad?
