I have to day, password administration is a bit annoying. Almost every couple of weeks I have to change passwords. All i do is remove the last character, and then the next time I have to change it, I put that same charater back on!
I will reveal the identity of this character for chocolate.
I work for a games industry, and I believe my point is valid.
These guys spent 2 years perfecting their game, and it paid off.
However, just imagine how long it would take them if they took on a mutilplayer game to the scale of Quake 2 or 3. A long time I think!!
Whole other ball game..
Yes, I agree, and although I cannot remember the site, there was a/. link to it in a previous story. It talked about the magnitude of modern games like MMPG's compared to the old platform single players. The complexity is huge by comparison. In other words, techniques like this are unfeasable for largew modern games.
However, thats not the point of this game I think. It is just a very novel game, that looks very good and weighs in at 96k. It should be acknowledged but taken with a pinch of sault..!
Yeah, but whats really required is a peer:peer system like this only any user/agent has their memory erased as soon as they read it, but not before the cached communication self destructs removing all evidence with 7-pass extended character rotation deleting for a last obliteration in the backround to remove anything.
A purchased song, for instance, would not play unless it's sure that it's authorized and running on secure hardware.
I have always said that this is ludicrous.
No matter what secure hardware they use, I will still eventually get pure sound outputted.
Then I will just record this sound perfectly with a high quality mic as a wav and re-encode to ogg.
I'm confident I can do this with almost no extra added lossiness!
Its for the obvious reason. Mac OSX is specifically targetted for the MAC. So: When MAC OSX installs, it's binaries are optimized for the G4 architecture.
This is a bit more awkward for the PC. Although Intel and AMD share the same core instruction set, there are of course differences. Others like Transmeta are completely different. This presents a problem for M$ as they like to keep things i386 borg'd!
And therin lies the power of Linux and Open source in general. If you compile source code for the specific target architecture you're working with, you will optimize to the max. And ion are taking this a step further. By making their mission/goal to optimize all software for the specific h/w it's running on, they are sure moving towards the smoothest dam resposiveness you could want in an O.S.
It should make ion linux the choice for scientific applications where performance is essential.
I use Mandrake but I really like the sound of Ion. I think I'll move over when I get my next PC.

My grandmother will be worried if she sees me talking to a card.
No discrimiination against cards intended..
It's smart business.
..Now lets all go and make bear!!
No, its greed.
The boot disks I use in work are gone after days,
because of neglect, always have to make copies..
It's a shame we aren't all using mini-discs
They have protective covers..
Ahh yes I do love these challenges.
The great thing is although the NSA can probably
get into most things, we can still slow them down.
And there's always self distructing media and files..
Swallowable hard disks!,
logic bombs!!..
Good news for spam prevention measures..
Use Totem!!
Its better than a cassette recorder!!!

Intersting sig.
I think its more like
'The poor are toe rags' - rich
Yeah its sad. ..because people are so smart..ahem no.
There's no GUI originality these days..
Bu I doubt Apple care, it just assimilates more followers to adopt the MAc GUI paradigm...
There are (horrible) Gnome skins that look just like XP. I doubt M$ really care.
..because big is best!!
You don't live in the real world ; )

Hey, is that a spam server I see?
.. *swallow* !!
Not any more..
*eject*

Yep, its a bit "look at what I can do, I'm brilliant".. : )
Yeah whatever.
Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter (released recetly)
depends on DirectX too, but that game takes up
4GB!
Yeah, I agree, but it would be a good bit over 96k
if it was relying solely on good old openGL
The death star had similar capabilities!
I don't think it's that unlikely.
In fact Sednas highly eliptical orbit is probably other evidence for a large collision
Yeah, it won't be long before someone makes
.then slaps a big patent on it :/
a cauldron box (of witchcraft).
Then all thats needed is a pointy hat and a big ladle!!

Paranoia increases as a function of knowledge..

Spam was forged in the fires of Mt. Doom in Arizona.
Only there can it be unmade.
Also mentioned was the new electron microscope
it ships with so you can see that tiny screen now.
Sorry, I should have said that:
When Joe_X buys a G4/G5 etc. the version of Mac OSX - Cougar etc. is optimized for that particular architecture that it ships with.!!
Sorry
