IANAL, but the summary (at least) gives no indication that the forensic tool is going to be the last word. It's a bootable distro, so presumably the system has already been confiscated by whatever organization cares most about the potential crime. The forensic examiner(s) responsible for looking for data with the evil bit set boot to this CD and see if it flags anything. Then they examine anything that's flagged, and prep it for court.
Doing a thorough exam of an average drive can be time consuming, even if the user is kind enough to leave all their documents handily in the "My Documents" folder. Trying to examine several machines in a timely fashion would benefit greatly from a tool like this. If the disk flags something, and it's really illegitimate, the data just needs to get cataloged. Think of it as helping go for "low hanging fruit" that can be used to convict someone, without being as resource intensive as a full manual scan. I'm guessing that if the disk doesn't turn up anything, there will still be a long manual process involved to see if there's something there.
The majority of polling locations require no form of identification. A signature and your word that you are indeed Mickey Mouse is all that's required.
What do you expect EA would tell a bunch of Wall Street types? "We screwed the pooch and a bunch of people went after us for it" or "everything is fine, we're a great place to send your money!"
Otherland at least maybe fills a lesser used niche. We already have Tolkien (Lord of the Rings Online), and the others are still essentially standard fantasy settings.
MMOG's attempting to fill a sci-fi niche have been fewer and further between, and have (for the most part) been failures. Or at least they're not getting the subscriber base as fantasy MMORPGs.
Personally, I'm looking forward to the rumored WH40K MMORPG...and I wouldn't mind a good Shadowrun MMORPG. Or even a Dresden Files based MMORPG.
For what it's worth, THQ has rights to make a MMOG based on Warhammer 40k. The cynical side makes me believe it'll end up being Planetside with 40k skins, but I'm sure it'll be better than that. It almost has to be.
It depends on your contract. Some employers have, essentially, an "all your ideas are belong to us" type clause. Anything you work on, on or off the clock, is their property. At one company I worked for, even if it was something that wasn't related to the industry, you submitted it to their lawyers and applied for leave to pursue it on your own if the company wasn't interested. Essentially, they give you your IP back.
I could see Google doing some sort of distribution mechanism like Steam, only having bucketloads more cash to throw around to get publishers to adopt to them as a delivery mechanism.
I know he's for "change." That's evidenced by getting a VP pick who's been involved in normal Washington politics for 35 years. I know that not voting for him will "prove the US is racist", so failure to vote for him will obviously prove I'm racist regardless of how I feel about his stance on issues. I guess the US is already sexist because of our failure to get Hillary elected. I know he voted for telecom immunity.
The more I learn about him, the more I view him as just another politician.
but how does a drug that made my college roommate double up in laughter and fail at communication make someone better at video games?
Best guess? If you spend all your free time practicing the game while high, you're more accustomed to playing it that way. Playing it when you're not high entails a different playing experience to overcome. Not so much that smoking a joint helped them play better because of the effects of the drug, but it got them to a more "normal" state to play the game.
I dunno. Is linking a torrent or posting a MP3 or video clip on a website that has AdWords, or something like that going, enough to say someone's making a profit on illegal copyright infringement?
I know patches are unavoidable in MMORPGs, but patching the pre-game website on the day it's announced has to be some sort of new record. Hope it's not an omen for the forthcoming game.

Uplogix is another company to look into, they've got some built in hooks to non-TCP/IP power controllers and offer some more monitoring tricks.

I thought we'd known that Apples give off ethylene forever. What's one more gas?

How was banning a tethering application reasonable?
He might not offer 90% of all games ever made, but I bet there aren't any trojans hidden anywhere in his games.

Good news! It's got that too. There's plenty of open world PvP content, complete with siege weapons and the like.

Care to refute it? Or just going to stick to attacking the messenger(s)?

It's not so cynical when you look at what contributions did for telecom immunity. Maybe somebody just feels left out.
That's a pretty good name for a company attempting to ensure that some aspect of free speech is squelched.

At least there's not some odd hidden process that the users have no visibility to running in the background using resources.
Oh wait...

And apparently it's easier to write a post that rails against the *IAAs than to attempt to understand what the article is about.
Next thing, someone will complain that Japan eats more fish per capita than the US does.
And our game shows lag behind their in sheer craziness. Sure, we're making inroads with Fear Factor and Hurl...but we've got much further to go!
It's like all other tools. If you only have one, when there's an emergency you'll probably have zero.
Are other colors of makeup safer for APs?
It works out. The guy taking the order will be located so far away that you wouldn't be able to get your food anyway.
