Have it work with Google maps. You click on someone's house, then you click on which entrance you want to virtually break into. Then you start snooping through underwear drawers. Google will help you to. Should you open the wrong drawer, you'll see the classic
"DID YOU MEAN: Top drawer in the nighstand to the left of the bed".
Why should anyone have to ask Google not to photograph their house? Especially when hardly anyone knows about this to begin with. Is there some proper 'don't photograph my house' official channel to go through?
Google never ceases to teach me new things. I guess it's okay to do impolite things as long as I remind the victim that they could have asked me to stop at any time.
How long until google is indexing my underwear drawer?
Just to add to the above, I remember advertising in TMNT 2 on NES. There was Pizza posters all over the place, and you ate Pizza Hut pizza to get your health back.
This is not new.
Many food product mascots had entire games of their own. McKids, Cool Spot, Yo Noid.
I've never minded subtle in-game advertising. A few of my favorite PS2 games have product placement all over them, or ads on the billboards in the city streets.
They add to the realism of my surroundings, and I always love fake ads when they are plastered all over games like GTA. I usually litter my own 3d art with fake ads. If the Sprunk machines suddenly became Sprite machines, I wouldn't mind.
Just don't start showing me 30 seconds spots, and use common sense that doesn't stray too far from the context of the game.
If you want to advertise in a fantasy RPG, don't put your out of place products in there, sponsor some kind of cool event that takes place in the game. Then maybe your ad will get a positive vibe, instead of a bad stigma.
Coke and Pepsi usually run promotions in the summer where you collect points to exchange for prizes. They could sponsor a new event inside WOW where participation would earn you some points, and maybe some unique gear that will only spawn for a limited time that players could earn for bragging rights.
I found this new version clunky and annoying. What the hell is up with the address bar? I haven't been following the development of FF recently, but that bugs the hell out of me. I didn't see a way to turn it off, so I nuked the whole program.
Also, my must have extensions don't work, (which was a given).
You know, lots of the stuff I use on the web is better because of javascript. I would hate to go back to the days of plain useless HTML. How would I see when my gmail contacts logged in, or have cool features on the message boards I frequent? You might as well ban programming all together. Javascript is no more abusable than any programming language.
You really think there is ANY explanation to give the author credence? Everyone knows exactly what he was doing, and if not, you are foolish and naive. There is no reason he would need people's account name and passwords mailed to his account for any purpose. He was harvesting them, and after he got a certain amount of them, he was either going to sell them, or start snooping around people's accounts.
Yes, but that professional code was shipped and is running all over the place and doing what it intended. The amateur code is sitting on a sourgeforge page somewhere, where people can't stop tinkering with it and make a release. Also, everyone in my experience seems to think code not written by them is really bad, and the guy who wrote it is a lunatic!
I've got a copy of the Old Testament stored microscopically on a palm sized piece of film that is supposed to last 500 years. I wonder if any old books are getting archived this way? Would save a lot of space.
You're right about electronic media. I have CD media that didn't last me 6 years because the method of writing to them requires a driver that is buggy and unstable as hell. I no longer have a floppy drive to read my old disks. Can't guarantee that a hard drive will last for any significant length of time.
The only way to guarantee something survives electronically on the cheap side is to spread it around, making every copy a redundant one.
A library is not just a room with shelves full of books. It's one of the only places in the world where you can go and have some quiet time. I have one right behind my house, and it's a nice place to go. Sure you can look stuff up online in the comfort of your own home, but you can't guarantee that you won't have world war 3 going on around you when you do. Also, there isn't any other place in the world where you can go sit and read all kinds of old books for free. Sure, there are places on the internet that let you read public domain books that are decades old. But the library will let you read something that was published in the last few months, the current newspaper, and other publications.
Libraries will also run events for the benefit of the surrounding community. They allow you to actually go outside and meet other people. Don't forget that it's also a place where a lot of people can even get access to a computer in the first place.
Featuring an entire small town wearing tinfoil coated trucker caps to hide from those evil, thought reading, transceivers. Cue those blurry night vision shots and man in the rubber Grey mask.
Who wants to only meet people that are their exact clone, or meet specific requirements? If you want to do that, you can just sit at home and masturbate. Half the fun of life is meeting and interacting with people who are different then you, and you rarely plan who you fall in love with.
I think all the blame belongs to the students, especially if this was done in a dorm. If I was in a dorm facility and caught anyone looking at that type of stuff, I'd round up everyone and you'd be lynched outside within 15 minutes. I don't care what the reasons were, just don't do it. Who wants to live next to 5 people who are looking into Jihad stuff? You can give them the benefit of the doubt that they are just looking into it for academic interests, but you're taking a 50/50 chance that they are going to blow everyone up.
There are some things you just don't do.
You don't walk into a bank or other such buildings wearing a ski mask. Doesn't matter what your intentions were.
Oh, it's a private website now? Suddenly. If Wikipedia is going to constantly change what it is that they are to win whatever argument they are in, they might as well become the RIAA. Did you actually read the conversations? There is some serious Islam hate being thrown around that page. Point is, that unsuspecting Islams should not open the page for their own research, and have a picture of Muhammad(sp?) shoved in their faces like that. Wikipedia is for everyone, and everyone should be respected.
Your comparison to lunatic fringe is irrelevant. This is the not the issue. There is no lunacy here. They are just asking that the image be taken down. It happens all the time at Wikipedia, but suddenly because it's an Islamic thing, the image won't come down.
Once again Wikipedia leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Actually reading the talk page, it seems like people are having a lot of fun mocking the religion of Islam and antagonizing anyone who tries to make their feelings be heard. It becomes very obvious that the picture is up there in defiance, and anyone who comes forward with a calm argument simply asking it to be removed is singled out and mocked by what looks to be the elite of the site acting out like 14 year olds.
I'm not religious, but I hate to see blatant discrimination like this. The official stance by the editors is 'we leave the image up, because we can'.

Don't hold your breathe for it to work on an intel GPU. The only thing that will fold is you!

Both my keyboard and mouse are in PS/2 ports, on a PC I just bought.
Animnated gifs have nothing to do with Javascript. Maybe boards don't allow posting animated gifs. An easy fix to this problem.
I buy them new.
That's simply not true, but your reply link that kept logging me out fooled me three times earlier tonight. WELL PLAYED. :)
I've been loading up on CDs at Walmart. 8-10 each for the same thing the music store 100 feet away is selling for 18-26$.

Yes they will. It's a trap. In one of those ironic twists, the black spy will pop up right after you land, and shoot you.
