So when will this problem actually get noticed by the american public or world public at large? The clues have been mounting since the 60's. Things like using off-shore holding companies to avoid legal and tax issues have been common business practices for too long. When will people look to straightening up all the obfuscated legal detritus clogging our ability to innovate? Whay are we stuck making laws about the laws about the laws about the laws about when the DMCA is applicable? Man I sure hope 'the revolution' gets here soon cause William Shakespeare was pretty on the mark and it seems like noone is listening.
I agree that your password wasn't weak to brute force cracking... but using Bank One online banking before 2002 was a really bad idea... see that webpage that you logged into left a cookie on your machine. And you were like gee thanks for the cookie but then you realized that if you looked inside that cookie you could see your login/password unencrypted as well as some other pertinent account information, again unencrypted. It was one of the biggest security blunders I have ever seen. I still wonder how that was never made into a big deal by the users or the media.
It may have been the cause for the death of Maude, but wasn't the impact with the ground what actually killed her. Unless she had a heart-attack before the fall, I think gravity was the real culprit.
I understand that their network code is excellent if you are on anything better than a modem.... but they are both quickly boring games. I enjoyed playing both at one point. Include Quake and Unreal Tournament and Half-Life Counter Strike. They are interesting for a short bit. But that bit ends and I'm still looking for a good online game that will keep my interest for more than a week. That I don't see happening until the narrative of your actions is intruiging and not formulaic gameplay.
I can remember when wargamers had a slew of options for what game to play. Now FASA is gone and after this little announcement I think WG will fall soon. I love those little miniatures, getting attached to them while painting makes there survivalin the game that much more important... but now I wonder if there will ever be another reason to drag them out and get a game going. Tabletop wargaming was awesome but I doubt I will ever get to play unless I go to GENCON. Thats sad...
I totally agree with you about gameplay being king. Especially in the current favorites of online RTS's,FPS's,and RPG's. If there is lag I won't keep playing, but if the gameplay devolves to become formulaic killing of opponents then the gamer will eventually seek out the game that allows his actions to affect the larger game world in concert with other to make a grand statement. I think I'm rambling so I'll stop after this... Gameplay is essential to any game, Solid Network code is essential to any online game, Great Stories are what will get me to trudge once more into the breach.
I am living in the USA at present looking forward to emigrating to Canada at the earliest opportunity. I love al-jazeera and frequent http://english.al-jazeera.net to stay abreast of whats actually happening behind the veil of corporate interest controlled media here in the states. I just think that the funn aspect of hopping on every thread with some lame comment in broken english has lost its luster. If I wanted to read this #$%@ I would visit one of those cute ilovetheiraqiinformationminister websites. I went once, it was kinda funny for about 30 seconds and then I moved on. I am just hopeful that soon this fad will move on.
Network optimized code is an important element of game design, but surely you can't mean it's importance outweighs the quality of the story being told through the narrative of your actions in the game?
But let us not forget what made the ipod so interesting to consumers... Capacity! The fact that I can now get a 20 gig handheld mp3 player based off a 2.5" or 1.8" drive is incredibly more impressive. And seeing my HDD compared to a coin for scale really makes me wonder whats MTBF? Does anyone know yet?
Will someone please mod this parent down... it was funny the first half dozen times.... now it's like that funky sock in the bottom of the hamper. Mod it down so hopefully s/he will cease and desist.
Shouldn't there be some ideas to utilize a similar system coupled with a miniature sterling engine to get some of this energy back... regenerative braking is the only cool idea to come out of the automotive industry in the last couple decades of supposed innovation.
I wish I had some points to mod this up. The voice of reason would dictate the individuals ability to best determine how to handle their food intake. Why isn't regular low-impact aerobic exercise stressed more often to the overweight? Do they just not want to hear about the amount of work changing their shape will take? Being one of the skinny geeks is such a relief:)
I'm using Opera 7 on win2k and can see your ISP's homepage fine. Are you reporting that you are using opera? Is it a problem using some page other than the homepage like your webmail? I'd say hit Ctrl+Alt+O and try hitting your ISP again.
If anyone is taking suggestions for cars that are worth a geeks attention please find me more information about the Lotus 340 R. The Lotus site is pretty but lacking a reviewers attempt at translating the feeling of how it dives into corners. I wish I had the money to buy/rent one and pay for track time.:)
I almost too heartily agree with you, which makes me wonder when you will see the matrix:reloaded. Or if like me it will be a question of how many times.:) There are good movies just try to keep the crap-filter updated and you will get to see some really neat things. I just wish the execs would ask the teens what they wanted to see, not which celebs are hot. There have to be some interesting ideas in smart rich kids in the hollywood hills right?:P
Any rpg/adventure game that limits you to 20 lvls of growth seriously cramps the fun of working through all that insanely overdramatic combat. Avoid this...

That is definitely cool. Which makes me wonder what 2 CYC-accessing machines could dialog about the data. Would there be more insight than noise added?
This affects all users who view HTML webpages with Internet Explorer or view HTML email on their windows box with an old version of Outlook or Outlook Express. If you are using another browser or email program you are still vulnerable if scripting is enabled. This is a problem with processing JScript. This is a problem for most M$ boxes. If using one please upgrade to another OS or update using windows update.
What is the next paradigm for the business computing environment? Will it take the broad distribution of cryptographic coprocessors and 'trusted operating environments' before the average corporate user begins using cryptography... but basically only cause the admin set it as the default behaviour? Or will there be a new focus on pure research to find better algorithms and ways to crack them? Will the average desktop going to 64-bit addressing help in distributed brute force attacks? What does your magic 8-ball say? Mine seems to be stuck on 'Don't Count On It'
I know its redhat but isn't this more public relations material than news for nerds? What's new to Advanced Server that good administration didn't give you before...
anyone?
Seems to me there needs to be an answer to the M$.doc format. So who wants to help me code the program to extract the terribly structured presentation data out of 'their' format and output a presentable XML version of the file. Then our various clients would have a wonderful way to ensure true cross-platform document sharing... we'd at least get the rest of the OSX users to stop paying a partial M$ tax. I need a job to prevent all this extra coding energy from thwarting the monopolization of the business desktop.
Does anyone know if the ISP's were monitoring the users pipes? Or is this simply a case of 'If you left it in your user space on their machine you're up the creek sans paddle'?

If you like that just perfect amount of jack black in your movies (a la high fidelity) then find a copy.

Try fire! And for a specific implementation of fire.... my zippo that works like a charm even after many many beatings :)
