  1. Re:Who has time to play? on Average Gamer Is 37 Years Old · · Score: 1

    Ok, it sounds like you own your own company or something similar then, which is very different to working imo. You made it sound like your happily slaving away hours for someone else, rather than basically time shifting hours now for future hours :) The discussion was clearly aimed more towards the kind of people who are getting forced into those kinds of hours with no hopes of investing it into early retirement.

    I hope your joking and didn't waste your whole life working. it's not even legal here to work those kinds of hours, it's well known to be detrimental to performance.

    your missing the point, you dont have 4-5 big meals, you have 5 small meals of 400 calories, this stops your body going into starvation mode or fat storage mode, since you basically cant process more than 500 calories in one sitting anyways. This is a well known technique of keeping weight down.

    I wouldnt call it vaporware, since the technology exists and is already in use. Its a military tech, just trickling down to civilians now. James Cameron used it for the upcoming Avatar film.

    That's one reason The Office is such a popular show; we can all identify the Michael Scotts and Dwight Schrutes in our lives.

  13. Re:So much for pirate ethics on How Piracy Affected the Launch of Demigod · · Score: 1

    Yup, i have a link directly from Frogboy's blog, stardocks CEO :)

    Heres the quote:"But what happened was that we ended up with 140,000 connected users, of which about 12% were actually legitimate customers. Now, the roughly 120,000 users that weren't running legitimate copies of the game weren't online playing multiplayer or anything. The issue with those users was as benign as a handful of HTTP calls that did things like check for updates and general server keep alive. Pretty trivial on its own until you have 120,000 of them. Then you have what amounts to a DDOS attack on yourself. "

    Since Chrome was the only browser left standing in the Pwn2Own contest, i think its pretty obvious that their sandboxing is vastly superior to IE.

    Buyers do have unique accounts. All those pirated copies cant actually play the game. It wont let them play or update. Just the sheer volume of numbers hitting the server is what brought it down, those pirates werent actually playing the game.

    I never stated it was hard to find stuff, just that they communicate with the MPAA/RIAA. Read about it hear: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2009/03/prosecution-rests-case-against-wealthy-pirate-bay-admins.ars

    Heres a quote from the article: "We heard this claim during the trial when John Kennedy of music trade group IFPI flew up from London and talked about his antipiracy team and how they are in daily communication with Google. The Pirate Bay, on the other hand, famously posted (and then ridiculed) the letters it received from rights-holders asking for material to be removed from the site."

    The difference is, and it was stated in the trial, that google actively works with the music and movies companys and removes offending files. Quite a bit different from how the pirate bay operate ;)
