I think I'll ask my bank to call me before authorizing every transaction > 1000$ then (I hope it's possible)! How come someone with millions in bank wouldn't take such an arrangement with his bank?
I fail to understand how such thing is possible, and I would appreciate explanations.
For example, if someone gets my bank account user/pass and logs into my bank account, transferring all my money into his account. When I see this, I will sure call my bank saying that this was an unauthorized transaction, and this transaction should be void, no? Besides, the thief reveal himself by specifying the destination account, no?
I find NWN campaigns *much* *much* longer and harder to build than PnP campaigns. All the scripting required in a quality NWN campaign isn't needed with PnP. A carefully tailored ambush is very hard to script, and doesn't look as good as:
- Shhhhtoiink! An arrow on you shield! - I run to that big rock over there and take cover! - Hey! is there some place left behind that rock? - Yeah - Ok, I run behind it too. - Just before that, make a spot roll. - 19 - Ok, you noticed a goblin in that tree at your left, and 3 others who were hiding behind the trees, and running toward you. -...
Try to NWScript that. NWN is geared for hacknslash play style.
I agree that we all tend to see ep 456 as better than they really are, but I re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-rewatched 456 lately , and I still think that,although he's abviously not the best actor ever, Mark Hamill is a much better actor than this dumbf*ck Hayden Christensen.
Would it mean that the key to have fun is to be mentally disabled (it makes sense to me.)?
Thus, a mentally disabled person could forever perform a simple pattern, like throwing a ball or watching a flock of bird take off, without ever understanding it, and having fun every time?
Ignorance is bliss.
I was about to write something about EQ players, but I will sure be modded as Troll:)
Sourceforge should extend it's donation system and create a bounty system. When you donate money to a project's bounty system, you get a vote for each dollar you give. People submit for the bounty, and then, you can vote for who will get the coding contract.
I guess I didn't make myself clear enough. Let's go with an example:
- CompanyA has a GPL project ProjectA. - CompanyA wants to add a feature to ProjectA, and starts a "contest" - DeveloperA creates some great code, and submit it to CompanyA for the "contest" - CompanyA asks one of it's developers to create a fake entry to the "contest" - CompanyA chooses the fake entry as the winner. - DeveloperA, seeing that his code hasn't been chosen, forks ProjectA, and name the forked project ProjectB - CompanyA, seeing the GPL ProjectB, take a look at it, find the code create by DeveloperA in ProjectB, take that code, and integrate it to projectA.
Now this was perfectly legal because CompanyA didn't use the DeveloperA submission, it used ProjectB (a GPL project) code. with GPL, you CAN'T restrict the use of the code. Thus, if DeveloperA releases the code under GPL, *anybody* can use it, including CompanyA. Free developer labor!
There is no need to hide the fact that you took the code. It is perfectly legal and ethical to take GPLed code and integrate it into another GPLed project.
Thus, what I'm saying is that to get a guy to create GPLed code for you for free, you only have to start a "contest", don't take the guy's submission, wait until he forks your project with the code he created for the "contest", and integrate that code in your own project. Perfectly legal and ethical, since your project is also GPL, and you didn't pay a penny for that code.
1. Create a "contest" for some code. 2. Take none of them, or take a fake submission you created yourself 3. Let the fool create a forked project 4. Get the code for free (It's open source right?) and integrate it in the project. 5. Profit!
I recently switched from WinXP to Gentoo linux. Although I really love Gentoo, and I'd like to say that I'm more "productive" with linux, I must admit that I was more productive on WinXP.
I think that it is because in order to be productive on linux, you *must* know all the command line stuff by heart. I am not 100% comfortable with these commands yet, but I'm pretty confident that once I'm used to them, I'll be more productive under linux.
I must also say that I was pretty hardcore in my choice of WM (I use ratpoison, and I love it) for a linux beginner. It might slow my productivity gain under linux.
About "Productivity": I think it's meaningless. I mean, when I code, the OS I code under doesn't really hinder or enhance my productivity. The IDE is more likely to do so.
Beside, I gladly give some of my productivity (temporary) for the uber-coolness of the gentoo portage system:)
The galactic war new system looks nice, might be a good reason to give it another chance.
Can any SWG player tell me if the galactic war is actually fun? The last time I played, I didn't feel like I was in the middle of a galatic war *at all*. Did it change?
I'm all for css, but the last time I tried "height: 100%;", it didn't work in all browsers (I think it only worked in IE). I love CSS, but we must admit that it is sometimes a pain in the arse.
Bible dictionnary attack could work for a lot of passphrase if this kind of password were to become mainstream.
IMHO, passphrase would make it easier for a hacker to successfully hack a system. For example, myself:
- Make a google search for my name - See that The White Stripes is among my favourite groups - Add The White Stripes lyrics to the crack dictionnary - Attack, and probably succeed (password = "Why can't you be nicer to me?").
The list of all quotes in imdb mustn't be THAT big. Thus "I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next" would be a bad password. (not to mention "whoa":) )
Of course, IANASB (security blogger), I could be wrong.
The methodology I used a couple of years ago to prove objectively that Ultima Online was better than EverQuest: "EQ sucks" returned more results than "UO sucks" in google. It still does.
That's kind of what I think too. Hey, that's 34M$ they're giving to a huge, foreign company so they can create 1000 jobs (if I remember yesterday's news right)
I think that they should give this 34M to fund *independant developers* instead. They would help our economy better IMO.

An OS without an access to Slashdot must be *extremely* productive.

the other story showed up.
even when you install openssl, you still need a ssl certificate.
I never installed/used openssl, so I could be wrong...
I'm all for css, but the last time I tried "height: 100%;", it didn't work in all browsers (I think it only worked in IE). I love CSS, but we must admit that it is sometimes a pain in the arse.
I'll try to submit this story to slashdot right now... Just to see if they'll post it AGAIN. :)
Cmon, I can understand that duplicate stories can happen, but in the same day!!??

Completely Hilarious. I rarely seen a parody of this quality.
