Exactly! I've heard the other day a russian kid murdered his brother and commited suicide right after his brother won a chess game. Chess, as you know, is a brutal game where you not only have to kill your opponent's units but also be willing to sacrifice some of your own!! Unbelievable it isn't rated R! Those poor kids never had a chance... Let's ban chess!!
Man I wish I was him! Imagine having your face in every nerd-related/. story! He must be famous and getting all the chicks and getting laid every night with a different chick!
How Will Recent Financial Downturns Affect IT Jobs?
IMHO, you'll have plenty of work. As more companies move from meat meetings to virtual meetings driven by the costs of airfare, hotels, etc or other factors (And as mobile technology grows) they'll need a protected channel for their communications. Intranets will play a bigger role too. So you'll do fine. A tester position maybe a bit quite specific but you'll do fine in security.
How are you so sure that it wasn't an israeli military operation so they have an excuse to spend some ammo and fund their warfare? Just saying war is not so simple.
Israel has the capability to detect and neutralize the launch sites with surgical precision. They should have finished long time ago it they wanted to do it. But, regardless whoever shot first, instead they prefered to invade. Gain more territory while cleverly complaining like 7 year old kids "Hey, they started it!"
Also, it makes me sick that almost no one seems to dare to speak (or post in this care) against the anihilation that is taking place there (Not even a moderately critic speak) for fear or beign pointed as antisemitic or nazi. Those who modestly post or speak with a critic view take special care to attach a carefully written disclaimer paragraph to make sure no jew is pissed off by their comments.
What the current Israel administration is doing there is plain genocide. They are anihilating palestinians just like the nazis did. And no one seems to care this time.
As soon as you make your PC a botnet zombie, it will (at least) start sending V1agr4 spam all over the net. Most probably, it will be used to attack whoever the botnet overlord wants.
Botnet overlords just don't care sh1t about the war.
That's when we call in the Zombie Squad and pretend the hungry ones are zombies.

MTA is just a OS extension to play your actual closed-source version GTA in Multiplayer.
If you want to cover open-source games cover this one: Urban Terror
UT is an open-source Counter Strike "clone" that runs on OS X, Linux and Windows. It's awesome. These guys did a great job.
In their own words: "Urban Terror(TM) is a free multiplayer first person shooter, that (thanks to ioquake3) does not require Quake III Arena. It is available for Windows, Linux and Macintosh.
Urban Terror can be described as a Hollywood tactical shooter; somewhat realism based, but the motto is "fun over realism". This results in a very unique, enjoyable and addictive game."
If you know more games like this one, please reply to this post. I'd like to know which other free, multi-OS games are out there.

You want to hear the funny part? People that download illegal copies are not nagged with this problem at all. They can enjoy a Matroska-encoded Blu-ray rip in full 30", HD quality, glory. Isn't that gorgeous Steve? And they are doing it right now.
Can pleeeeease somebody explain to these dinosaurs that this will only make the few people left out there, who still rents/buys their content legally, stop from doing it?
To big media companies: Don't you get it guys?? Next year you will blame your lower income on piracy... Duh...
To Apple: I thought computers were created to empower users, not to enslave them. Shame on you!
Stop buying music and movies. Yes that includes the ones in iTunes. No mattr how loud you complain, if you still are giving them your money, nothing will get solved.
You have to be the change you want to see in the world - Ghandi
I agree. The bay area is a trend maker. Problem is, the rest of the world is 1 to 10 years behind, depending your region. For example, just today Google mapped Argentina but you can't get directions yet. We'll have street view in about 10 years I guess. Having an iPhone doesn't make much sense yet, regardless of the outrageous price, cause you only get basic phone service. No visual voice mail, no 3G (there must be like just about 5 3G towers), no assisted GPS, and until yesterday, no Google maps.
Hey, this article represents the hope of having a life for many of us. Who do you think you are to come here talking facts? You better get lost mister...
This doesn't come of outsourcing. There are [lazy coders | greedy managers] everywhere in this planet.
IMHO, problem is an inherent flaw in capitalism, as companies are more directly rewarded by maximizing profits at all costs than by doing the right thing.
While I agree, it usually happens that the first version of the code for a particular task just works, while the following versions are more polished, improve speed, reliability, etc. They are fond of the "make it work, (then) make it fast, (and then) make it nice" motto.
BTW, I'm glad that after 10 years you could finally get it out of your chest!
Cuting in line a problem? Ha! In South America we don't have such problem, as there aren't any lines. We replace a long period of diciplined standing time with a short period of mayhem until you get through the gate.
