I'd like some Blu-Ray's. Because that's what my PS3 just became, an offline BD-Player. It's not the fact that my information was compromised, something that nobody can claim they can protect perfectly. It's at risk anywhere I use it. It's what they did that started this. I am by no means a Microsoft Fan Boy, but when their Windows 7 phone got compromised, they invited the team who jailbroke it to Redmond, all expense paid, and sat down and had a pow-wow with the group that did it. They all got the royalty treatment, and the shirts that said "I hacked the Windows 7 phone and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" was a riot. What Microsoft did was classy. I don't condone terrorism at all, but that's what whoever is attacking Sony is doing. They are being Digital Terrorists. In the end, I hope the corporate world looks at this and adds to their mission statement.
"We will not fuck with our customers".
So.. What they are saying is Intel's latest and greatest CPU is finally gonna beat something AMD released, what, 5 or 6 months ago? Intel is STILL playing catch-up.
I'm sad that this made the front page here... He shouldn't be made a martyr. He was using a method of automating the game for personal gain, which everyone and their brother knows is against Blizzards rules. If the guy wasn't running under wine, nobody would here would care. He got caught, he got banned. He even admitted that he was watching tv while using his macro keyboard!
Comon guy.. Go buy yourself a new account and start over.. And if your gonna cheat, don't get caught, and dont cry Linux.
Are there any 'for-profit' companies that get posted about on slashdot that people dont flame? Here's a likely scenerio: Symantec gets 2 or 3 calls a month out of maybe 5 to 10 thousand of corrupt images. They get a hold of the images and find it's the same corruption in each file, and the common software installed on each image is Spybot. They cant reproduce the problem in house and their customers are demanding answers. So they make a statement. I'm sure this scenerio has happened to plenty of other companies, but since were talking about the 4th largest software company in the world, we'll bash them.
I have worked in Tech Support for a software company for 10 years. The crap that you see from the inside is amazing.. Sometimes you just gotta say 'We dont jive well with this other software package so dont use them together'. it's just the breaks.
If I could only go back in time and add liquid nitrogen to my 8088 processor. I know I could have gotten it up to 5.33 mhz, no problem. NetHack benchmarks would have been off the chart.
If any game ever deserved a remake, it's this one. I really think it's one of the best stories of any game I've ever played.. It had me glued the entire time. It just needs a graphics update for the Ritalin generation.
Slow? Hell, we don't have a 2.2 Ghz machine in the office even - we just bought a brand-spanking new Dell laptop (our first new computer purchase in a while) and it's only a 2 Ghz machine.
Well, we are in an age where you can spend 500 dollars at dell.com and get a 3 ghz machine with a 19 inch flat panel monitor.
I just dont see what this guy is trying to prove.. All I get from this is 'Open Office has more realistic minimum requirements then MS office', which doesn't seem like a very scentific metric.
I'm sorry.. I'm no huge MS fan or anything, but if your trying to run office 2003 on a pentium 233 your an idiot. Get over your 'my linux will run on a 7 year old computer' mentality please. Move along.
Then I realized if I averaged out my time and what I got for my character, it was only like 50 cents an hour
Yeah, but you're PLAYING A GAME. If anyone wants to pay me 50 cents an hour for playing games, email me. I'll give it to my girlfriend so she can go shopping, which in turn will give me more game time.
I've hacked the hell out of my TiVo. There's nothing like surfing the web browser on your TiVo for the first time! And, no.. XBOX doesn't count. it's PC hardware:)

There's big money in this, unfortunatly. There's alot of people who think Yantis is the scum of the earth, but there are quite a few people who have claimed he's bought EQ related web sites for 5 figures, and if you read FOH (one of the better known everquest guild) message boards @ www.fohguild.org, people are claiming he's gotten over 10 million for the company. 10 million for selling virtual property is insane.
I went over to their website and parused around... Seems they did the security to XM Radio, http://www.certicom.com/download/aid-78/success_XM Radio.pdf) which humors me because XM Radio was hacked about 2 months after it went live.. All you need is a part from an old Dish Network reciever and a soldier iron.
I'm not surprised at all. It kind of humors me that whenever a star trek series gets in trouble they resort to time travel. Don't get me wrong, I love Star Trek, and Enterprise is watchable, but I'm watching it because it's Star Trek, not because it's good tv.

That too....

I dont care about the real-estate.. Ad servers are just too slow, they keep me from seeing the content I wanna see

Everytime I go to their site I look for the place to mark their articles 'troll'.

What were the stats on the sword? :*
Well, I'm all for it if they add /pizza support.
I'm in central florida, and brighthouse (time warner) is upgrading everyone from 3mps to 5mps for free! Upgrade takes place 1/31/05.
The real question is how does the new engine interact with vapor?
Yeah, people actually do play sports games... It's the only way /.'ers get any exercise.
