May I add that I don't like the guy either. That doesn't mean that things he says won't be in history books, 'cause they will.
Personally every time I quote him saying that, I see it as a little stab in his direction. He's said himself it's something he regretted saying. It wasn't a quote of bravery, it was one of arrogance.
My use of it was meant with a twinge of irony. I'm only talking about hackers attacking a piece of software, not terrorists attack our soldiers.
How's Firefox supposed to get even more resistant to exploits if hackers aren't sitting there trying the exploit the heck out of it?
Trial by fire. There's a reason it started out as Phoenix.
Instead they have added another scary twist. I have the game so Spoiler Follows:
The Village is inhabited by Republicans.
A certain VP that has beaten death many times makes a cameo as the end boss.
They're getting away with it because companies can do things that normal folks can't. Capitalism outbid the rights of the average joe.
If a burglar robs your house, you're allowed to shoot him while he's in the house. What you can't do is go to his house and burn the place down. Yet RIAA/MPAA can wreck your computer for presumed theft.
There's another thing of note here though:"Hiding spyware and adware inside Windows Media files." Did we really need even more reason not to use windows media? Especially considering that there are known DRM loopholes.
Does it really make sense? it's still wholly against P2P networks.
"Sir I just heard of a network that connects lots and lots of computers, and it allows them to exchange files"
"Sounds terrible. Let's go ban it"
"Will Do. Going ahead with Plan Q: BAN THE INTERNET"
"Hmm. We just destroyed all that e-commerce stuff we do"
"We sure did"
"damn..."
How about I pay you with this Edvard Munch painting I just recently found in my attic? Having a hard time unloading it for some reason.
and I'd like change.
Why do those asians love putting smiles on their robots?
Is that really going to strike fear in the heart of a criminal, being chased by a round headed smiling robot?
I have been following this game for a bit and the design team for the game, Cryptic, has considered a villain aspect. However, they are going to wait until they have a solid way to implement it. It's really not as easy as you would think to have both heroes and villains and have it fun to play for both.
How do you make villain players fun to play against instead of the villain just being controlled by some jerks? How do you keep the balance between the two sides? Do villains get rewarded just by the amount of evil acts or HOW they do the evil? It's really an entirely different game and would take time to do it right.
In future expansions Cryptic also plans to add a PVP arena for heroes to fight heroes.
Atlantis? Darn. I was waiting for them to do Stargate Miami first.
"This stargate opens into the heart of Miami, a magical world full of bikini clad women and fast cars. Oh, And the cubans are using it to escape Castro."
4RMYSNIP3R : Dude, I just roxxored Saddumb Hussein!!! He was nothing for my l33t skills! And he gave me 2000 XP! I rulez! Lvl UP to here beotch! He had like $750,000 of phat l007 too!
A prediction of a typical statement when/if this game goes public
Click click, BOOOOOP!
Ah yes, the sound of thousands of people uninstalling kazaa at the same time.
Now they just have to scrub their hard drives with some hydrochloric acid to get the spyware out.
What a foolish statement.
It's as if people were to start really wanting Pepsis so bad that Coke had to start selling them. Then Coke goes and says "We'll sell you Pepsi cause you want it and we love taking your money, but Coke is a better cola"
This is also assuming Pepsi came out with a way to make the cola at home for free and let you alter the formula, then sell it as your own cola.

I heard they're going to start sending Sam Fisher after Bittorrent users.
If it's a random number generator and it's predicting the
future, or influenced by the global conscience in some way, then is it really random?

It's Pentium 7+5
as in Intel has 12 months before AMD squashes them in the market.
This is no laughing matter.
The avg temp is going to go up 11000 degrees!
We're doomed!
We were wrong! It's more people moving towards the use of solar powered homes! We're using up the sun!

Hmm....
I wonder why it is a Microsoft product can find spyware that other products don't even know about...
A puzzle for sure...

Plus Michael Ironside doesn't even doesn't even sound like Sam Fisher

Fighting Richard Lewis for a bracelet for your elvish girlfriend
Wondering what the "cut-off time" is for serenading someone outside their window with your bardish tunes.
This really doesn't seem fair.
I came up with the idea of an Open Cola right here on slashdot...
Wouldn't it be amazing if some guy could attach this diamond to a ring of Saturn? I betcha his wife would owe him a lifetime of hourly blow jobs.
