    Allegance is fun as hell, i played it at a LAN party once and it was cool, requires good teamwork though

  2. Re:Why a vulnerability on Ratio Vulnerability in BitTorrent Discovered · · Score: 1

    find a safe and popular torrent (porn usually) a big one, 1.5 gigs or larger and grab it early on in the cycle, leave it running a few days and your ratio will be good for over a month unless you do some serious leeching the rest of the time

    i doubt that clockless chips are not talked about due to any sort of collusion, but rather the nasty hurdles in programming especially at a low level, with clockless chips there is no more 'tick' no purely step-by-step execution and simultanious execution of complex code is nasty especially trying to work out timing of code when there is no universal timer across the chip.

    sorry i overreacted to your attack on roberts, i have been reading too many newspapers where every other opinion column can be summed up as "OMG Save us Roberts will put the abortion doctors in the electric chair and crash an oil tanker in ANWR 111111!!!1"

    i guess i saw your original post and didn't really read it carefully thinking "aw crap not this again"

    mainly i am sick of the fighting over it Roberts may not be ideal but he is much better than i expected from Bush/Cheney

    sorry I'm not right wing thanks for playing. both sides are pretty stupid but it is fun to see the attacks on Roberts they look a lot like justifications for the war in Iraq; weak and disingenuous

    do you know anything about roberts that isn't public knowledge which would support your frothing rant or are you just shilling for the left?

    you forgot marketroids they think marketshare/mindshare is everything, and thus the 90's tech stock bubble was born

    Super Smash Bro's Melee is THE fighting game. almost nobody i know with a GCN bothers with anything else because SSMB is basically as close to perfection as you can get.

  10. Re:Hopefully innovation *is* what people want. on Plotting the Revolution's Arc · · Score: 1

    actually i think their strategy is to take hold of both ends of the market and let MS/Sony kill each other fighting over the middle

    the most hardcore gamers will be attracted to the old NES/SNES game downloads while the non-gamer types will be able to pick up and use the controller fairly easily it has fewer buttons and makes more use of natural skills such as moving your arms rather than operating a thumbstick.

    windows 3.1 sucked, then windows 95 sucked, then windows 98 sucked, then windows ME REALLY SUCKED then windows XP sucked enough.

  12. Re:gimp interface okay, needs sticky windows on A Gimp In Photoshop's Clothing · · Score: 1

    i suppose creating a fullscreen "workstation" mode which took over the screen would be one way to streamline GIMP nicely, as it is now the only issue i ever have is winding up with GIMP windows mixed in with other windows i have open, if GIMP either used tabbed MDI or maybea slick openGL interface it could revolutionize image work, especially if the internal UI had a way to eat other windows, so if you use a few tools with GIMP while working you could have those apps loaded and operated from inside GIMP rather than depending on the windowmanager of various OS's to do intelligent and usable things with the various GIMP toolbars. i think i just described several years worth of effort and getting funding for such a project would be tough

    i used to use arrow keys with the numpad for FPS games but after forcing myself to use WASD i found i was more comfortable after long periods of non-stop fragging my wrist used to get sore after a few hours being bent left to operate the arrow keys, though i suppose if your desk layout allows shifting the keyboard over there isn't any problem

  16. Re:N64 credit... on The History of the Game Controller · · Score: 1

    you are wrong, PS3 isn't out yet and Sony is so full of shit there is no way to know anything they said the ps3 will have actually will be there.

    i would trust Microsoft before i would trust sony. i don't even own and xbox nor do i particularly like Halo, but after getting fucked on a defective PS2, which sony refused to admit there was a problem with despite massive failure rates for the first generation of ps2's i will never again buy sony hardware.

  17. Re:Best control goes to... on The History of the Game Controller · · Score: 1

    there are two problems with the Playstation line of controllers,

    one is the retarded ass four button fake d-pad, the moment the nintendo d-pad patent expired sony should have been rolling d-pad controllers off the assembly line.

    the other problem is the symbol'd buttons, especially since they named the shoulder buttons l1 l2 r1 and r2 defeating the only possible benefit of symbol labels which could be cultural neutrality between japan, usa, and europe. but even that is weak since most of the game-playing world is at least somewhat familiar with the letter ordering of the roman alphabet, not to mention replacing that with a system which nobody is naturally familiar with doesn't help.

    my /application data directory is encrypted using NTFS file encryption so it is safe from offline inspection, and if someone has access to my account they can run keyloggers to get my passwords anyways.

    the ad doesn't suck... we are all sitting around slashdot talking about servers almost none of us were previously interested in but here we are talking about them, and looking up system specs on them. This ad will work quite well to stir up a buzz about Sun's servers.

  22. Re:What about virtual servers? on Mac OS X Intel Build Addresses Pirating · · Score: 1

    clever but once you know what it is doing should be rather easy to beat, just monitor access to the dongle and every jump it hits replace with a pemenant jump to the correct location. maybe a bit time consuming but if there is an excessive number of these one could write a tool that would only require monitoring the app for a few days of usage to get all the locations needed.

    actually the usual way to get around something like that is not to emulate the dongle but rather to analyse the binary (manually or automatically depending on scope and resources) to find calls to the dongle and edit them to always return a favorable value, or in less sophisticated copyproteciton find the single function which checks and set it to always return the correct result
