That's not the hacker version, it's the l337 skr1p7 k1dd13 version. This is the hacker version. See, they hacked it to be readable. Something many hackers need.
According to gamespy's story Vivendi has confirmed the delay of HL 2. I can't wait to try out that soft physics engine, droool. Too bad I can't do it on my mac. Maybe they'll finish the port this time. I can only hope.
You know... If all the databases with personal information were merged some really really interesting things could be derived asbout you. Think about it. What if your bank thought that you were going to die in 15 years and wouldn't give you a home loan?
Some documents are declared top secret because they combine information available to the puplic in creative ways.
ok, i was really harsh there, i deserve my moderations, oh well, i think this is the first time i've been modded to -1 before
it doesn't matter anyway. on slashdot karma easy to get
Excuse me, but you really put your foort in it this time. Slashdot is not doing an interview with this character. Slashdot is pointing to an interview of him. Next time RTFAS (that's the article sumary) at least. If you did I really hope you were really drunk because the summary points out very well that the interview was already done by stage4. Not only that, but the article wasn't under the interviews section of slashdot.
The fact you missed both of these huge clues that this wasn't slashdot's interview leads me to believe that you are stupid. Also, your horribly ignorant name enrages anyone who's ever read LOTR or even anyone who can pay attention to the movies. I read some of your other posts, most of them lead me to believe that you don't read even read the summaries. People like you are what is wrong with slashdot and the world. People too lazy to beinformed about their opinions.
How about instead of matching two players, match two teams entirely made up of players. You could also have a coach player. This brings many more possibilities, maybe even a cooperative game play (run through whatever single player there is with a team made up of real people). Then you could a have a football sim that simulated individual players.
You could even have it almost me MMO like. Have coaches organize teams of real players based on their records. I've never been a fan of sports games myself but I might buy into that. Even better, simulate even more, a sports caster, water boy, but have AI backup for whatever people won't do.
What possible benefits? 9-11 was succesful because before 9-11 protocol for dealing with hijackers was cooperate and deal with things when they land. Now it's do whatever possible to keep control of the plane. That simple fact will prevent a hijacker from taking control ever again. Even if they did, the plane would be shot down or retaken by the passengers before it would be allowed to crash into an urban area.
This system is trash. As you said, someone might have to violate the soft walls in order to avoid a collision. Since their can be no way to overide this an accident could easily happen because of this system. Unfortunately, it will probably get implemented anyway because the public loves their security blanket, even if it is covered with smallpox.
Why emulate windows?

I noticed in the screenshots that there's a taskbar on the bottom. Dare I ask why? Emulating an OS that most people who have used agree is confusing and not intuitive. Windows hasn't kept the location of its network settings constant since, well, forever, I think.
Linux GUIs seem to have the same idea that change is good. One thing that made Mac OS nice was that until OS X it didn't change very much. Linux will never be popular if it can't offer a lot of things that windows doesn't. Linux should try to keep its GUI the same, then it will offer something windows doesn't.
I'd just like to point out that blizzard probably has very little to do with the making of the game. If you check their website it's being "codeveloped" by another company. Blizzard probably just sold them their name and franchise rights. Also, I've never known blizzard to even think about an FPS and I don't know why they'd start now.
This doesn't mean that SC G won't be a very fun and polished game; I would imagine Blizzard would run it through the same quality controls they do with all their games, but I beleive blizzard is hard at work on World of Warcraft right now.
In my POP3 acct Spam received so far: none
I've had the account for over a year.
I managed to acheive this simple feat by only giving my address to people i kow aren't stupid or assholes.
I get about one spam a day that ets past yahoo's filters in the address my slashdot account is attached to.
I understand this has some coolness factor, but does it have any purpose at all? One might as well just grab two cases and duct tape them together. The only time sharing a case would be cool is if they could share other components as well (monitor/keyboard don't count).
When I first heard about the PC and mac combo I thought someone might have found a way for two computers to share components and was wildly disapointed. I'll start getting interested in this stuff when the computers can share a hard drive or a video card. Otherwise it's merely a case mod.
I know I shouldn't reply to my own comments, but this really needs to come out.
Students are not poor. If you live in a university town like I do you can see all of the really nice stuff that gets thrown away by students. A lot of them have ass-loads of money from their parents. I know there are also a lot of struggling students, but with personal info on more than 4000 people, he should be able to do better than that.
Sorry to burst you bubble, but GPS can legally only be acurate within something like 15 ft. It would work for really really big projects, but not for little ones. You wuld be better off programming te robots movements directly.
Also, just to nitpick, you said global positioning system system:)
The state budgets are trashed because they spend too fscking much on prisons. We need to retool our legal system (especially the drug laws) so that we dont fill our prisons with people who got cought with a tiny bag of weed. I'm not suggesting legalization, though that would be nice. I'm suggesting maybe first offenders get community service, a big fine and probation.
Also, toll ways are bad. They were designed to allow the roads to be built, but when the road is paid off they still charge you. They keep charging you because the beurocracy of the toll way doesn't want to lose its' jobs.
Moderators: This is my opinion and I don't care If I get modded down for it; I've hit the Karma cap.
I like my electronics to be seperate and small. I don't want a phone/MP3/PDA/GPS/condom dispenser. A device like that would be too big. I want a small phone, a small GPS, a small MP3 player, and a small PDA. In total they would be bigger than the all-in-one, but you could store them in different locations as well. Also, if your single unit breaks, your screwed. And there's always the fact that I don't want a PDA or GPS device. I only want a phone and an MP3 player. The only logical combination I can come up with is the phone/GPS device.
I think that the real rwason to envy anything that apple sells is the graphics support. If you look at ANY other laptops on the market, do they have decent graphics? NO. The powerbook has a slightly dulled GeForce 4 w/ 64MB VRAM. That's better than the card on any desktop from a major PC retailer for under $1000. Also, if you ever look at the specs for a cheap ($700 or less) brand name PC, they have their graphics built into the motherboard. Yet they still claim that their P4 will make games dreamy and your downloads go faster. It's disgusting.
My favorite part about MOO 3 is the real time ship-ship combat. It always seemed anoying and wrong to have turn based combat. Turn based strategy is fine, but after playing a few RTS's I realized that there are just some really cool things you cant pull off in turn-based.

OS X is pretty secure and its usability is second to none.

The guy only managed to steal $2000? This guy must be stupid.
For sweet case mods chack out www.applefritter.com

Honestly I had no idea it was anything remotely japanese, thanks for the info.
Watch this,
Now Microsoft will change Windows XP to Windows NGICI (Next Generation Insecure Computing Interface) thats pronouced ni-ji-se
Where's the mac version?
Mac users pay taxes too. I think that the govt should support more than just the windoids.
The state budgets are trashed because they spend too fscking much on prisons.

Yea, we may have the government we deserve, but I don't seem to recall knife-raping any retarded nuns.
