Apparently the high ranking at NetSec techie doesn't know it. from http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1105_2-5247187.html?tag= zdfd.newsfeed
NetSec's Houlahan advocated drastic action.
"I told my wife, unless it is absolutely necessary and unless you are going to a site like our banking site, stay off the Internet right now," he said.
Idiot. NetSec credibility is now equal to zero. OF all the peole who should have removed all shortcuts to IE, it's a techie. And what's to stop your bank from running the unpatched IIS 5? What about your homepage? IIS 5? Could be. Alt-browser time.
Such as? Weather check spybuddy? If you refer to java, flash, etc. then you are sorely mistaken. I've seen ONE page that was IE centric, it was some bizarre javascript thing my grandpa emailed me. I'll take the massive increase in security over that. Seriously, though, post some pages and I'll see if I can't figure out if a plugin or two will do it.
Now, what happens when Microsoft starts seeing paid patching as a revenue stream
You buy a cube or PS2. Sell your games to a XBL paying friend, and move on with life. Easy enough, right. Microsoft realises it's plan isn't working, pulls it's head out, and goes back to being a normal console. Of course, you could retain you l33t xbox zealotry and pay up, but that's your choice.
I've decided that one pound of my crap is worth a couple of thousand dollars. When next month rolls around, I think I'll give a pile to my landlady and tell her to keep the change.
Hey, if it's good enough for the BOFH to sell, it's good enough for me!
is OS-like in complexity, but less silly hardware tying is necessary
poses interesting crossplatform targetting compatibility issues, such as those Carmack faces when writing his game engines
like a game, requires rendering of very large, complex, and
dynamic graphic objects, and this must be done in an efficient and
quick manner-- something current web browsers tend to be bad at, DHTML
animations rarely look smooth
poses interesting optimization questions for these dynamic graphics, much like an Id game
like an Id game, must perform complex network operations efficiently
requires the efficient parsing and execution of text files, much like the maps and interpreted-c mods for Quake 3
like Id game engines, must expose an external development interface for plugins and embedding
Pitchfork is no good for reviews!
Wackiness.org is your friend for music reviews. They don't review a lot, but the reviews have a nice blend of humor and accurate comments. They even do movies! Give it a read.
Not all that sizable, or good for that matter, but there is a Java MMORPG called Runescape, which is in semidecent 3D landscapes with Godawful sprites for players. Last time I played, a true 3D version was in Beta, it's probably out by now. Still, in the name of Java vs. C++ you could kill some rats. Registration is required, and there is a nice tutorial island. It's ad supported, so watch out.

flamebait?
Yeah, I heard mocking core beliefs was usually modded flamebait these days, but I might be mistaken.
It's so he can be closer to his secret gay pregnant lover, Bill Gates!
When did slashdot become the internet supermarket tabloid? Bring an umbrella. Several of them. I passed through seattle once and didn't see a ray of sunlight in the day I was there.
Actually, they also have an image client of some sort
Share pictures with friends and family using Mercora P2P Pictures
* Create albums and pictures on your local computer for friends to see * Decide which of your friends gets to see your various albums using privacy settings for each album
sounds like it could share your precious pr0n to me.

Think about that sentance again. You don't log in anonmously, you are anonymous precisly because you DIDN'T log in.
You can mod ACs, you know.
I am so with the program it isn't even funny. So not funny that I can read that.
So here is the new plan: izzle + ROT13 + l33t = unbreakable encryption. What FBI agent is good enough to know all 3?
I remember when my physics teacher showed us a huge capacitor bank. Chared it up and discharged around a columb to a paper clip. No warning of loudness at all, just asked someone to turn off the lights and BLAM! Dischared! It was pretty cool.
If only cameras had such potential. Looks like another weapon is going to be added to my garage armory. (blow gun that shoots nail darts, potato gun, and now this.) I should probably AC this, but let the feds take them away. I can always make more. Unless nails, PVC pipe and paper are banned, that is.
Good to see the phantom is a real company after all.
but... a 2.5GHz AMD processor, 256MB RAM and a 40GB HDD. and It comes free only if customers sign up for a two-year subscription - it costs $199 without a subscription.
That's a lot of system for $199. How long until it gets hacked and turned into a l33t gaming box. I can't imagine making a profit on the system with a price scheme like that, so watch for Phantom related DMCA lawsuits about a month after launch. If it can be done on an Xbox, which was nice at 300, it will be done twice as fast on this 200 dollar system. Also, a few of these will most likely end up at garage sales for 20 bucks once the suburban kids want the next gamer-toy, which is a nice price for just the RAM.

Shigeru Miyamoto's games have never provided that sort of thing.
Mario Kart 64 had involvment from Miyamoto, if I'm not mistaken.
Yeah, Mozilla Thunderbird imports very well from Outlook (Express), imports all your contacts and messages and POP3 settings.

(Whoa... what happens then?)
Begun, these clone wars will have.
plan to put PSP games up there for download eventually, too.
So, will it eventually be epoxy encapsulated a la phantom?
