I've been really addicted to City Of Heroes, and trying to convice other friends to get it is tough. "So... I have to shell out 50 bucks for the game, then pay a monthly fee?"
Now.. if there were a single player aspect, and it was still possible to enjoy the game once you had enough of online play.. then maybe..
In Toronto, they have a similar system mounted to a car wich drives up and down streets reading plates. It checks the numbers, and then tries them against a db, no flags, it keeps going..
I couldnt find any reputable sites about it, just a forum post by somebody with more info on it here
I deposited a money order at an RBC branch on the 2nd of june, they told me it would take 12 hours. it still has not been put in my account, same with my pay from today.
At least I have real reason why my rent is late this month..
Everybody needs a porn buddy. Upon hearing about your death, said buddy goes to your house, ignores your wife, and proceeds to rip the harddrive out of your computer and leave.
OTOH, I should also point out, that this type of copy is often made from the projection booth. Good luck scanning the audience for that piracy problem.
So those people that kept walking in front of the camera on the last CAM that i watched had to be, what? 30 feet tall?
explaining it like "a green thing, with metal on one end, and little things sticking out of the green part" would gets me close to a nic/video/sound card, i can do the rest myself:)

it's 1am, and i'm playing jenga alone..
some of the demos make great stress relievers... now where did i put that thumbdrive to bring this to work tommorow...
If they need to capture specimens to test, there's always this method.
Exaclty what I thought, this gives the anti-p2p crowd some more ammo to use when trying to get legislation passed..
Is it for the general public using the computers? Or workers for the library?
If it's for the public, perhaps leave some photocopies with a few simple questions.
"What are you using this system for"
"What software would you like to see offered"
Etc..

MOM! Tommy got Ebola again! Tell him to share!
I use namecheap.com to buy all my domains, for an extra $4.95/year per domain, I get whois guard protection.
Do a whois on a domain of mine, and you get contact info to the registrar. Want my real info? Better have a subpoena ready..
Who's going to start the first escrow service for gamers..
i figure people will still buy it, until they realize exactly what it means..
How many people buying the CD really have any idea that it's copy-protected?

Are they just assuming that the movie will do well when they start creating a video game for it?
What if the movie flops a-la waterworld, then you're stuck with boxes and boxes of a game that is doomed to the 10 dollar bin at office depot..
Yup, very true.. there's always the group of kids standing on the runway waiting for planes to spawn.. and of course the TK'ers..
Would much rather ask someone looking at the same website as me if they have seen what I'm looking for, instead of a site map.
And no.. I dont go walking around the grocery store asking strangers where the broccoli is..
I've taken to playing FP shooters on PC like Battlefield Vietnam. Last night I played on an official EA games server with 52 people.
Let me tell you, there's no better way to play an online shooter than with 26 teammates..

The old cop trick, cant get em for what the biggest problem is, get them for what you can.
Should be this way more often, arrest spammers for using machines they have no proper access to, not for just for spamming.
I wish it were the way for me... I still have clients asking why i'm not using that animated .gif they emailed me..
ugh...
