So the judge ordered Microsoft to produce the missing messages. The employee PCs, the servers, and the off-site backup tapes have to be searched and soon. The Microsoft lawyers complained that would be like finding a needle in a haystack. The judge reminded them that it was they who had put that needle in the hay.
There was a certain purity to the SNES version, I think because it lacked the vertical dimension in the tracks, they were all flat. Once they added that, I was like, ehh...
I logged *hours* on the SNES battle mode. Its the perfect example of balance in a game.
I'm not sure we'll see the same balance in the new version; I'm not to hot on the idea of personalized attacks (unless they are just personalized visually, and not in their actual performance/effect.)
Oh, please. I'm pretty damn sure talking on the phone is much less distracting than, say, eating a big mac, or putting on make up. I don't see anybody up in arms over those issues.
Too much hype before there was even a working demo hindered its initial success.
This is true, but Bluetooth reminds me a lot of XML. When XML was first introduced, everyone thought it would be nifty and great, but there was a long period of time where it wasn't all that useful. Now, we see more and more products utilizing XML, and it has gained considerable respectability.
I think (and hope) that Bluetooth will see a similar growth pattern.
Escape from NY is one of those cheasy 80's movies that you can watch over and over. I love the style of the film. Almost every scene is dark, and the characters are all crazy and wierd. Cool music, too.
If you haven't seen it, you should.
Escape from LA.... well, can't blame them for trying to make some more cash.:)
I'm sure something is known about the messenger protocol... Find it, and find out how the authentication is done. Now, the problem just becomes listening in on new connections, and determining if its a messenger client authenticating itself. If it is, you could kill the connection.
I don't know the tools that do any of that, though, but I'm sure they exist.:)
Anyone remember the original NES Doc by Jeremy Chadwick (Y0SHi)? This dude layed the groundwork for most of the NES emulation scene with his detailed account of NES internals... link
I think he dropped out of the emu scene on bad terms... not sure.
Dude, my shitty school decided to PS throughout their whole system. Everything from student records, financial aid, class schedules...
What a monstrous POS, man. I can't describe the headaches this caused for the first year. Even now, the system is unbelievably slow, bloated, and cumbersome to navigate. Pure crap.
Not to mention, if he did leave the N, he wouldn't be able to make new Mario and Zelda titles.
All well and good, but...

Classic!
I'll second this.

Didn't Apple do much of the work already, when they ported the Konquerer renderer into Safari?

Prepare to get sued by Microsoft if you don't change the name.
