how many of those pirates just wanted to get it early and are reciving it a few days later?
or are just trying it out to see if it is worth it (and yes it is!!!!!)
if there is no demo out it is no wonder everybody wants to see something of it
i am going to buy it as soon as a linux client is out (or maybe even as it hits the stores)
this only means future games are going to be released over the web
i understand carmack... but there are loads of people out there without enough money ( ok enuff to get a d3 pc) to buy the game anyway
take 1/4 of the sum they say they lost and it will still be way more then they would have got if ther e had been no piracy
file sharing is just another tool for people to strike back against corporations which try to fuck them
and sometimes it hits the wrong ones
we have to pass changes in constitution with a plebiscite
so it would be hard to pass something like DMCA or even more the gay thing or PATRIOT shit
there has to be at least 50 % of all vote (not people) for it to pass
here in switzerland we have 4 (?large) parties, the biggest about 30 % of the votes
so you have to get a lot of peoples to agree with you to pass something(btw those four parties are ruling together)
for preventing discrimination we have our a sort of Federal Supreme Court
you would first have to remove the human rights out of our constitution so the court could not mark the new thing illegal
the strange thing is that slashdot gives me 503 errors in mozilla but works well in IE at the same time
that really drives me crazy
that and playing doom 3 all night long
i would be healty if there where really good google alternatives
it scares me that a few persons could bias what news we get or what results are displayed (at the top of the list)
but microsoft with their world domination plans is not exactly the way to go either
i think you americans should make a revolution reloaded or some other sequel
we over here in switzerland add things to our constitution four times a year
such messages make deaf
most people just click next or ok... because that is what they learn
would you like to explain to a user what teh heck XUL is
it is hard enough to explain to them they have to push the powerbutton for their computer to start
if you can hide the status/menubars you can just use a image.. ok it has to fit the browser / layout if the user is a little bit suspicious but most would even click on not fitting stuff...
there is no easy fix to this (turning of XUL would be like unpluging your windows machine to make it secure)
(1). can you prove this somehow?
(2). the problem is the java scrip hiding the original toolbars/statusbar/ usw.
without it there would be no danger.
i think it would be easy to change the color of any XUL delivered from a website -> could be integrated into the themes so it does not stick out to hard
so you could see what is website stuff and what browser
i am not even sure if this shoud be called bug
there is nothing it is not doing like it should
it may be stupid to allow javascript to hide the toolbars etc.
maybe it would be wise to disable those features in the next firefox version per default
it is easy to change right now...
and i don't see why this is worse than IE permitting execution of code on your machine
sorry but at the moment it is the other way around
intel is not able to deliver their top of the line products for much more than dell and alienware
nvidia has the same problem at the moment
around here it was normal to get the top cards from nvidia 2 weeks pre release =(((
i do not understand your problem
do you think they would hire guys to drive their cars around in the garage to produce energy?????
those would be cars which would be driving around anyway
while i agree that it will not solve the world energy problems, it is still much better then doing nothing
the same nothing that bushs america will do
like this??
i had this with half of the stories i tried to read at slashdot and it goes away if i refresh often enough (i do not think it is a firefox problem)
but with all trying i could not make it happen with any of todays stories so it could be fixed
i tried to flash my mates corrupt bios in my computer(diffrent mobo but same bios chip)
so i booted to dos removed the old bios, inserted the new one
tried to flash the bios
as the flash util refused to work, we inserted the bios the other way around and it started burning...
later we found out that it could have worked out if we downloaded the right bios and flash tool:p
i also replaced a nvidia card with a faster one wile my pc was in standby mode which worked out
once i pluged in a usb modem just to see rising smoke from it, for no apparent reason
and i brought a pc to the seller for a defect ram slot
after three weeks it came back with a ramslot abused by a screwdriver and the best of it... they blamed it on me because i was a little kid back then
and the worst that ever happened to me was that i tried to remove the headsink from a slot 1 p3 (700 mhz which worked at whoooooping 1043 mhz with no special cooling during a time when the fastest intel cpu was 800 or 900 mhz)
ok but i think there should be enough bad people out there which (should/could) try this (could even be interesting for terrorist to destruct a few millions of windows pc's could hit our society hard)
and it could not be too hard to make something like this untraceable(notebook + open wlans + trow away wireless card + clearing of the disc + let nobody see the code)
if you are really paranoid you could trow away your code afterwards
would never do something like this but there are bad people out there and this way it would be a really big job to get after you
i think it should be easy to flash the BIOS to death
i never understood those virus writers
why write a virus at all if it does not destroy the victims computer?
are those virus/worm writers all good people???
the point is that if cells are banned while driving, they can fine you if you us 'em anyway
other way around they had to wait until there is an accident
i always have bad luck with windows:p
they are always quite unstable (2000/XP) and things stop to work really fast
i get a lot of BSoD and other trouble
like missing folder icons in explorer on my laptop when the main drive is != C:
heck win2k once even found a 5 1/4 " diskdrive in my laptop
no... i do not own defective hardware.. and the laptop is quite standart device and i am not to stupid to install windows:p
i think many people are so used to M$ quirks that they avoid them and after some time forget about them
but enough of 2k/xp bashing
i got a few windows mobile (2002/2003) smart phones from my employee to test
try to select a contact to call while driving, you could watch 3 pr0ns at the same time while driving and it would be way saver
if you ignore this and spontaneous signal losses and other strang behavior
you get a phone with plenty functionality
but you know... there is no default swiss german dictionary... you have to enter every word by yourself...
and even if there would be one... i would write only half of the words like they do in their dictionary
example: i hit you on your head
i hau di ufe chopf
i hou de ufe chopf
ich houe di ufe chopf
it is all the same...
you could replace chopf (head) with the german version (Kopf) and it would be still correct
or gring and "I" could also be written as "eg" or "ig" and so on...
and it is not like i could say i use just this version a lot of time it depends on whom you are writting to or what mood you are in or even on how it sounds in context with everything else
ever tried voice dial with this phone with a bluetooth headset atached while the phone is closed??
i had a prerelease version of this phone and it has been quite instable...
is it still like this???
btw i don't like T9.. it is not very usefull over here in switzerland because we write our sms in dialect
there are about as many dialects here as there are people:p and the worst part of it (for T9) is that there are no writing rules for our dialects so you can write every word in a gazillion of ways
but it is much more fun to believe someone hacked this site and bungie and changed their trailer
while nobody at bungie noticed something
that would have been quite a thing...

while old dos games may work quite well i had a lot of problems with directX 6 or something around there games ...
why does an email client have to remove or add lines to an text attachment?????????

it made it even into a major news telecast over here in switzerland

hey I am sure they are hosting their site on a beowulf cluster of ipaqs ....
