Hopefully BioWare will have co-op capital ship combat where multiple players are on a single ship who can fire turbo lasers, missile turrets, repair engines, shields, etc. while other players who can solo (no pun intended) smaller fighter or bomber ships. Raid parties when ship engines and shields are knocked out. Let us put others in airlocks and shoot them into space!
Eve Online got it wrong, CCP only let one pilot per ship regardless of size.
Hire from community and give a game away for free. Thanks Valve!
Can't understand why it's taken so long for someone to release a solid alien co-op blast fest. I suspect the next version will not be free but that's okay with me. Thanks again!
Nice idea but you still have to convince the police to do something. Plus, as others have pointed out, the laptop may not be in thief's possession any longer. Simply move on and get another laptop or e-mail your old e-mail and ask to buy the laptop back.
Maybe one day space will be inaccessible for a long time when enough debris is orbiting Earth at high speed that effectively destroys any satellite or ship. Imagine when home rocket kits are common place (barring government restrictions) that some of you different minded folk will release rubber riot bullets into orbit.
Just another reason to avoid EA.
I went to pre-order SPORE and stopped the moment I read about EA Online "download guarantee" for $6 additional fee when buying the game. The download guarantee meant you could download SPORE again for 2 years if you paid $6 now.
I decided right there I would not buy EA games online and canceled. I later found out about the registration issues.
I'll spend my money at STEAM where Valve can have more of my money. Buy a game there and download again any time I reformat my Windows machine which is at least once a year and I've never heard of a time limit on STEAM. I prefer to buy my games over STEAM and not mess with optical discs or packaging.
I would contact your State Attorney General's office.
The terminating and transit carriers rely on originating carrier to pass the originating number. The terminating and transit carriers may have event records which provides a trunk ID which may indicate what network passed the call to the terminating carrier. If each transit carrier has the same type of record you may eventually identify the originating carrier. Then the originating carrier can search their records for the terminating number and that may identify the source.
This assumes you can convince each carrier in the link to provide records (which may not exist) and may get lucky and identify the source. This works whether VoIP or circuits are used if the carriers keep records.
After all that you may find the source to be worthless (prepaid phone or international location for example).
Since the source is telemarketing calls I suspect they have a brick and mortar building somewhere.
Consumers, retailers, and manufacturers should wake up.
Consumers - Verify the product before you leave the store. Check the contents before you buy it. Retailers & manufacturers - Put devices in transparent plastic boxes.
Now the state and local governments can wiretap the Department of Homeland Security Internet connections to catch kiddie porn surfers.
I feel a lot safer.
Although a VoIP provider that is not interconnected to the PSTN may not need to be CALEA compliant under current rules ALL facilities-based broadband providers must be CALEA compliant. So tap the Internet connection for all their traffic not just the VoIP calls.
Yes, I read the statement and understand it. My comment is accurate, cell phones used only 1 time (throw away or not) are still able to be wiretapped. Law enforcement has to work harder, but it can be done.
It's best to assume that you can always be surveilled and act accordingly if you really don't want people to intercept your communications. Example, always use encryption.
The author is ignorant of wiretapping. Talk to someone who does wiretaps for a living.
It's not always the conversation or communication that's important. It could be the real-time location of the user.
Students win.
No authority exists in the United States to regulate spectrum except which Congress gave the FCC.
Imagine a scenario in which Starbucks, McDonalds, and Barnes & Nobles opens facilities near the campus which further clogs the ISM band (that's 2.4 GHz band everyone is talking about).
Now you get the picture.
Students win. All one student would need to do is file an informal complain with the FCC (free of charge). The FCC would contact the school and if they didn't comply a deputy US Attorney General who wants their name in the papers will jump all over the school.
What I can't believe is the school actually tried this. They going to confiscate cordless phones that work in the 2.4GHz band?

Just write down your password in a convenient & easily accessible location near entry point. Problem solved.
Yes, I own L4D and L4D2. My friends and I pretty much get any decent rated co-op game. Now back to Borderlands....
I do care when Intel ships more cores. The price of 'old" cores drop and I get better value for my $$$.

Maybe South Korea should invest in robots that encourage more baby making.
Grigory Perelman is simply amazing. Wonder if he would home school my children in mathematics...
I can't stop laughing, bravo!

I second this comment. No source means no idea what you're doing or using.
Pre-paid cellular phones can be easily wiretapped. Just makes the law enforcement official work a bit harder.
