Let's not forget the fact that GoD threw some absolutely KILLER parties. The Promised Lot is still the greatest event that I have ever attended.
They were all about being one with the gaming community and working with its developers. You can't get much better than that. I think the closest things we still have to that are companies like Ritual and Epic.
Why not practice your skills in cooperative play in games such as Serious Sam. You can get Serious Sam: The First Encounter and Serious Sam: The Second Encounter for like $30 bucks and they offer some great gameplay.
Even Serious Sam's single-player modes are good for practicing your twitch gameplay in the higher difficulties.
Pieces of shit didn't ever inform me that I had to opt-out of this. I had a catalog of over 40 tunes on MP3.com. Now without even informing me about this I am looking at having my stuff licensed out as elevator music. Fuck that.
I can't believe I had to opt-out of something that they didn't even begin to tell me that this was happening in the first place. I'm not really surprised. Just angry. MP3.com's management has always been a pain in the ass./me begins firing off angry emails.
Is the FBI refusing to divulge how they found out that he was on one of the stolen computers? Because if so that is a direct violation of the Freedom of Information Act. I sure as hell want to know if my computer transmits some form of identification information when I log in to my ISP.
What I am willing to bet that it really is though, without reading, is that the serial number of the computer led to the serial number of the nic, whether it be modem or ethernet, and then the mac address could probably be identified. Just my guess.
I'd be more interested in thoughts on the FoI Act thing though.
Crackdowns like this should happen on a much more regular basis. It's too bad that the resources required in order to police something as huge as the internet are beyond measure. Fortunately, every step taken that helps to prevent these kinds of things from happening is a step in the right direction.
I wasn't really trying to pass judgement that the claims were false. I did wander off in that direction in the second part of the post, but I kind of missed out on trying to get my main point across that was that this is being blown out of proportion, at least it is IMO.
We don't get a Slashdot story every time Microsoft finds vulnerabilities in its software, do we? No. And thank God for that.
There are all kinds of fanboys who either love a program or hate a program so much that they will claim that it has/does not have Malware in it when the opposite is true. Take GameSpy Arcade, for instance. There are people coming in all the time with claims that GSA has spyware in it when it really isn't there.
Why this is a story worthy of Slashdot confuses me in some ways. People make false claims all the time, and when it is one as inconsequential as this then why are we giving it so much attention? This looks like the demon-seed of a flame war if you ask me.
If you pick up last month's Official Xbox Magazine they did a review and gave it a 9.0 out of 10 score. Apparently they loved it. If you want more information on it, track down someone with the magazine.
The main problem I have with this DVD player is that it DOESN'T seem to be available in many, if any, retail outlets.
Basically, I am just trying to point out that all this is doing is throwing in another middleman.
A Musician's Standpoint

When I look at this, as a musician, I see a flawed system. Sure, I support the concepts, but it simply doesn't have the same freedoms that an independant artist has come to expect and it doesn't have the money that the signed artists have come to expect.
Why would I want to throw my material out there for free when I can make a little scratch selling it to the locals? Sure, I offer a lot of it up for free, thanks to the powers that I have as an independant, but the fact that I often give it out for free doesn't mean I should offer my stuff up like this.

Then it is a good thing we are looking for Windows XP solutions and not Linux.
Evil Dead, Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness? The holy trilogy is perfect for all occasions.

It's called piles of shit all over the floor.

Never got into this show. How is it better than the Simpsons or King of the Hill?
That's very simple. The Simpsons has grown stale and King of the Hill has ALWAYS sucked.
That mostly comes from the joys of not listening to mainstream music.

That is all.
Hell freakin' yes!!! ;-)
More than the average user would encompass precisely half of their users. You are either on one end of the spectrum or the other.
50% is obviously average. Seems a little too broad of a statement if you ask me. Nothing like some ISP's bullshit jargon.
Does this mean that we can sniff the fumes?

Hopefully Canada wouldn't come burn the White House.... AGAIN!
But can it play networked Pong?
Gas prices are so high that you are better off spending the 2 grand on a new computer anyways.
You make a good point, but but but BUT BUUUUT -- experience has taught me that if you are good enough then word of mouth alone will get you noticed.

It's just impractical.
Cause just talking on my cellphone, drinking coffee and eating a donut weren't distracting enough...
As well as smoke and screw around with their stereo system.
In other backwards news: Duke Nukem Forever will be released next month!!!
1400 Smith St in Houston, TX. Enron's headquarters is a gigantic 50-story building and is only using about 10 of those floors now.
That's 40 floors of free space.
