  1. EA never made great games on EA Trying to Buy Ubisoft Shares · · Score: 1

    Gaming turned mainstream when EA was at the top of its league, and mass cashing in followed soon after. The article mentions "Magic Carpet, Theme Park, Dungeon Keeper, Black & White". I think we all know that those titles have more in common than just EA.

  2. Not that exciting on Apple, Motorola Plan An iTunes-Friendly Phone · · Score: 4, Informative

    The Nokia 6230 (and the forthcoming 6260) are somewhat more impressive, using interchangeable MMCs to store up to and above 128Mb of data. And I don't think iTunes compatibility is a great reason to endure such lousy storage capacity.

  3. Re:Great... on New MusE Release, A Step Toward The Linux Studio · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Show me solid, complete Linux support for a Yamaha DS2416 and Emagic AMT-8, then I will ditch Logic.

  4. Isolation? yeh right. on China Developing own Standards · · Score: 2, Funny

    Next they'll be doing something crazy like building a wall round their country.

  5. Re:Really Now.. on Hardened PHP · · Score: 1

    But if that included URL outputs PHP code, it will be executed by the including script.

  6. Re:Uhh on IBM To Announce Web-Based Desktop Apps · · Score: 1

    I think you are talking about Sash:

    http://sash.alphaworks.ibm.com

    Work on it seems to have been discontinued.

  7. Re:Loop variable? on Free Optimizing C++ Compiler from Microsoft · · Score: 1

    You can get around this problem by disabling extensions - just pass the /Za switch to the compiler.

  8. This is a somewhat dramatic change of direction on If Microsoft Built Cars... · · Score: 1
  9. I think... on New Slashdot T-Shirts On Sale Now · · Score: 1

    mine should have been made too.

  10. Re:Do all of you need glasses? on Transparent Screens on the Horizon? · · Score: 1

    Well at least it doesn't really matter now that you've posted.

  11. Re:Why PHP? on PHP and MySQL Web Development, 2nd Edition · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yes that first line should be $sql = <<<query

  12. Re:Why PHP? on PHP and MySQL Web Development, 2nd Edition · · Score: 2, Informative

    I find using heredoc syntax when assigning strings can make things a bit more legible...

    $sql = query
    SELECT whatever FROM wherever WHERE name LIKE "%{$_POST['search']}%"
    query;

    etc.

  13. UK law perspective on Legally Defining "Unauthorized" Computer Access · · Score: 3, Informative
    In the UK, unauthorised computer access is defined by section 1 of the Computer Misuse Act 1990:
    (1) A person if guilty of an offence if-
    (a) he causes a computer to perform any function with intent to secure access to any program or data held in any computer; (b) the access he intends to secure is unauthorised; and (c) he knows at the time when he causes the computer to perform the function that is the case.
    (2) The intent a person has to have to commit an offence under this section need not be directed at-
    (a) any particular program or data; (b) a program or data of any particular kind; or (c) a program or data held in any particular computer.
    A further offence is defined under section 2 regarding unauthorised access with intent to commit or facilitate commission of further offences. The big problem is subsection (1)(c) - whether or not the person is aware that the access he is attempting to secure is, in fact, illegal. Unlike some other statutes, the CMA 1990 does not say that the person ought to have known that such access was illegal. The provision may have been extended to this effect by case law, but if not, IMO, this renders the law extremely outdated.

    100% - 45% = 55%, not 65%.
