The fastest way to get hold of a new game is always to download the cracked copy. It'll usually be a week or more before the game can actually be bought in the shop. This should clue developers in that wasting money, goodwill and time on those commercial anti-piracy packages is good for nothing. If a game is good, it'll sell. If it's not, it won't.
Either way, it'll be cracked and available for immediate download faster than they can get it to stores. The only protection worth having is online key checking for online play.
Too bad there isn't more detail about a possible email implementation.
Anyhow, I fail to see how this would stop spammers. They have hordes of luser machines to do the (R)POW work for them.
I haven't RTFA (./:ed), but these guys have potentially made a great piece of software for the physically impaired. Strap a webcam to the side of your head: Voila, no need to use hand to maneuver a mouse.
When an insurance company says something is bad or good, and is willing to back it with money (or not, as in this case), I trust them. Unlike product manufacturers, these guys actually has something to lose by being dishonest.
Watching the video, they proudly proclaim that this product will allow a service provider to do their thing for the next ten years. Yeah. Right.
With the way bandwidth-for-the-consumer is going, the ISP's are going to need petabits of routing capacity in ten years, not gigabits.
I'd rather have seen that they add some much needed functionality to the download manager so everyone can get rid of those third-party download managers.
The names chosen, Dark Matter and Dark Energy reminds me of the 'ether' that space were filled with. I have a feeling that the current theories will go the way of the ether...
I wasn't aware they had internet in Pakistan, much less a Daily Times. Actually, that's bigger news to me than someone seeing a bunch of mud reefs on sonar...
Used to be, checking out SCOX on nasdaq would show two firms with conflicting recommendations. Niether were anonymous, though I can't recall which ones... One recommended "Buy", and another one "Sell". Now, only one firm recommends anything, and that's a "Sell". And that one have requested anonymity.
I mean, they'll be sure to ban everyone whose name contains 'al', right? 'Al Qaida', etc. So that means that the seat next to you couldn't be occupied by Al Gore!
Is this a case of engrish? Looking at some of the pictures in the flash animation, the text on the machine seems to be Banryu Neo Dinosaur. Or something very close to it.
Well now, if the ISP's can be made to pay for theft that occurs on their infrastructure, why, then the government is obviously required to do the same for every thief that uses a car to drive on a street during the getaway. I mean - hadn't the street been there, he wouldn't have gotten away. So therefore the street owner is partly responsible for the success of the theft.

Well, since LizardTech likes to sue people too (see http://www.lizardtech.com/company/news/ermsuit/), I don't quite see how DjVu would be an improvement over jpeg.
Uh, it shows mine as New York - Old Bethpage - Scream Mal. Which is totally bogus, as Sweden - Stockholm would be the correct answer.
In Sweden, there are several system in use. The arguably largest bank, Nordea, uses a combination of printed one-time-pads and personal codes.

Isn't it too late to "save" it? IMDB lists it as being in post-production already.
Perhaps MS have realized that the primary reason for keeping their OS around is to play games, and they want to reinforce that.

Why would they vote no? Did the lobbyists run out of money? I doubt they're trying to do the Right Thing. Politicians aren't known for that.

...they put all that effort into hunting criminals that actually hurt people (as opposed to wallets).
I wonder why they want to be anonymous? The recommendation.
Luckily, no-one has proved that high-frequency constant radiation is bad for your health. Yet.
What are they trying to do? Make Bush lose the election?

I guess they won't stop pushing these lousy systems until Mickey Mouse gets elected president. So let's all help them along, why don't we?
It seems that in the end, workers worldwide will end up being paid about the same. And it probably won't be much.
I'd be concerned about buying anything from a company that calls itself "Abyss".
