only people from approved I2 locations (probably by IP address) are able to connect to the hub, restrictions can be placed further on subgroups of those allowed on, for example lat year my school, binghamton university, could only connect if you were at no more than one slot per hub, because our campu firewall was slowing traffic and going higher than one slot made transfers out of the campus useless for everyone. Trust me the MPAA already has a mole on the i2 hub, a bunch of people got busted, some for stuff with just a similar name (Helsing anime/Helsing Movie, Girl next door porno,/Girl next door movie)
the difference between a CAD card and a gamer card is priorities, a Gaming card will cut corners on unimportant pixels in order to get the current frame drawn faster, if it puts the joint between to textures off by one pixel oh well nobody will notice since it is blazing along at 70-100+ frames per second. A CAD card will dray everything exactly to spec even if it has to iterate over the same region for a fraction of a second and make the user wait.
Warez puppies dissapointed me, they didn't manage to unlock the preload of HL2 or crack the authentication garbage.
Well, considering that steam worked by using heavy duty encryption on the pre-released files the only real way to warez it before release would be to have an insider leak the keys needed to decrypt the game.
To all game companies: Could you guys make weapons more imprecise? I feel that my accuracy is still too high. You need to change it from "stupid henchman" accuracy to "A-Team" accuracy. Really, it's necessary, I swear. sounds like you should play UT2k{3|4} the bots are pretty nasty at higher settings, and the only precise weapons are ones that should be, shock rifle, lightning gun, and the sniper rifle.
you are comparing apples and oranges, FFXI is a game played exclusively online, the patch process may be a pain in the ass but without it you would have no way to ensure that the clients behave properly and people using unpatched clients would be crippled or completely broken. and shipping CD's with the game encrypted is *better* than using SafeDisk? how is making it so if they ever go out of buisness or decide to stop supporting HL2 you cannot possibly install a your copy of HL2 because it is locked with heavy duty encryption.
5-ATI driver won't compile, even with patch
for FC2
And the windows 98 drivers for my video card won't work in windows XP what's the point, unfortuantely as long as we have crappy binary drivers we will have to wait for the vendor releases the driver for new versions of an OS.
Reminds me of the computerized system at work, the system for some reason didn't take in reports that something had been shipped from the warehouse properly, so it would start ordering the same shit every day.
Fire safe would be useless, they are designed to keep the internal temperature below the flashpoint of paper, electronics or CD's inside would in fact be destroyed if they are inside a fire safe. a better way to protect that data is throw it on a CD-R and put a copy in your shed, another copy in your car, and keep a copy at work if you can.
Use of the words "fag" "faggot" "queer" "nigger" etc. are stupid flags, they make it much easier to identify posts written by stupid people without having to go back and read their post history to realize they are complete morons.
SR3 also uses the term metahuman, i think it is more an issue of roleplaying, calling a character a hero or villian will either greatly restrict the character or result in poor role playing of that character.
odd that they won that case considering that wildlife preservation has absolutely nothing to do with wrestling or sports in general, usually trademarks are pretty specific.
The users still own their likeness, the EULA is unenforcable except in terms of NCI having the right to use the images of the characters, they could in no way prevent a user from using a character they created in their own comic.

UT2k4 seems to be able to get the maps and mutators i need just fine without any of that activation bullshit.
I recommend Foobar2000 as a replacement for winamp.
But they didn't. And now they're getting nailed to the wall for it.
with all that money rolling in they don't seem to notice being nailed to the wall.... you sure they actually are being nailed to the wall?
i am pretty sure that a towering space elevator is at least as phallic as a rocket.
why didn't you vote libertarian? Libertarian congresscritters dislike the war *AND* dislike the Oligarchy that the US is turning into.
lets see, it's not all hat hard to figure out. d is the decrypted value, e is the encrypted value, p and q are the encryption keys.
relying on serial data on a tag like thatr is useless, all it takes are criminals who get their hands on fully writable tags.

from someone yelling out in public
actually spoken word would be slander

except at least 1TB is the same porno with different names and in different stages of degridation from corrupted and incomplete downloads.

both Halo 2 and Half Life 2 were supposed to be great. now it's up to Half Life to be good, because Halo 2 was not up to expectations.
I then had to pay extra for inferior health care
but the "inferior" health care is pretty much available on demand rather than getting put on a waiting list to see if oyu die before you get care.

look and feel cannot be copyrighted, that was tested in a lawsuit brought by apple against microsoft i believe.
Was the term Super-Hero a term used before DC and Marvel started using it? I would think probably not.
