You know... I often wonder about web paged that let you look at their Images directory...
http://www.pipedot.com/images/
it makes you wonder how easy it would be to view everything... but, I was a Collective Detective for a while.. so when I see a blank web page, first thing I do is view source & start digging. Anyone else?
you know it's misleading stories like this that make me want to switch my homepage from/. to Foxnews. At least there I KNOW every article is a slanted half-truth.
I'd dispute the charge just on the basis that they probably won't answer the dispute. They give them 3 days to respond. if you can't get someone on the phone.. I'm betting their snail mail isn't getting answered either.
The article does leave quite a bit lacking. Maybe there should be a followup article about
A) Cartoons that go into the digital world, like the new Johnny Quest, and maybe Teen Titans.
B) Cartoons based off of games... not just video games. Yu-Gi-Oh should at least have an honerable mention there.
C) Live shows based off of games. I was looking for the live-person Super Mario Bros in there.. and it actually took me a while to realize it wasnt' a cartoon. It always felt like one.
Anything else someone was looking for in that article but never saw?
Damnit.. why don't they have a moderation for "Groan"... and then people that haven't groaned enough during the day can set that REALLY high...
and read nothing but really, really bad jokes all day.
But, while we're on the subject... "If Mars had Oil in it's belly, the US would have invaded it years ago, claiming the aliens were being ruled by an evil overlord"
Did anyone else notice the list of things that SP2 breaks? It's like they hand-picked them!!
WordPerfect ZoneAlarm Norton Anti-Virus
VOILA! those 3 right there makes Windows an overlord. "YOU MUST USE OUR OFFICE, FIREWALL, AND ANTIVIRUS.. AND YOU WILL LIKE IT!!!"
Wow... How are the courts NOT suing for this?? And.. teh best-case-scenario defense would be "okay, so we make shoddy software. What are you going to do about it?"
Do you remember when the Internet started being popular... and people said "I don't want to put my credit card information on the internet! It could be looked at and stolen!!"
DNS spoofing is how they'd get it. But no one ever wanted to really hear the G34K 5P34K for HOW they'd get it.. so everyone just said "well, I won't."
Only now you can't do anything without putting your ccard on the internet... so people stop saying "ohh.. they could get my number!" and think "hey... it's SSL, so it doesn't matter."
and.. from someone that has taken one of these classes (granted 2 years ago), it is true that it's difficult to get a number out of a bunch of seemingly randomized characters & numbers. I can't understand any of it...
I mean.. isn't DNS spoofing the basis for any other kind of stuff? Like the man-in-the-middle attack?
Or am I just getting all of it mixed up, as it's been so long since my class..? Someone that has a linux box (you know, the thousands of you that all have/. as your home page) clear this up, will you? how easy is it to DNS spoof, and what exactly can you do with it?
I will agree that 99% of the time, google is perfect for what I need. Stick a few words together, add an extra one, and VOILA, you have what you're looking for.
The times that I have had problems is when I am not exactly sure what I am looking for in a few quick words. I can put it together in a question, such as "What is my house in Utah worth?" or "Why are flamingos pink?".
in those cases, I usually do ask.com That will get me going on a few pages, at which point I will know more clearly what I'm looking for (Utah "Real Estate") and can google from there on out.
It's obvious you haven't played games with the same people I have, who would be more than willing to play "dress up the girl" if it meant they got to see some T-and-A.
I thought of that.. but I also know that in some NFL game, there is a choice of being the "Pansies", complete with pink flowered uniforms. They guys would not be caught DEAD wearing something like that, so it would be ideal to make that a girl-only team, complete with better stats.
So.. we go the opposite direction. If you want the game to be much, much harder, you get a bikini. (Does make sense: you'd have ZERO armor) If you want god-mode, you wear a 50's matronly uniform.. or some sort of full-fledged armor with pink daisies.
Okay, so I dont' have that part completely worked out.
My husband did about the same thing. He was working 6pm - 2 am, and watching our daughter from 8am until I got hom. He was exhausted, so I gave him many allowances. One of them being EQ. He would take our daughter in his arms, and just hold her while he played for hours & hours. Anything she needed, he would tell everyone AFK and get her food, changed, or whatever. He loved it, and felt like he was spending time with her, and she was getting what she needed.
The problem is that 5 years later he does not remember our daughter as a baby. He remembers EQ and he had a lvl 60 character. But he definitely missed out on watching her first steps. She probably would have learned a lot more in that first year if he had actually interacted with her, instead of her getting a constant view of his chin.
The game is not that important. You may not think your child isn't either, but that child is goign to be with you for the rest of your life. I suggest appreciating the baby time, cuz that game is going to get boring, but that baby is going to be gone forever.
You are not just fulfilling your part of a "bargain" by keeping something alive. YOU'RE RAISING A CHILD.
And, on a completely seperate note, Firiona Vie is actually a beautiful name. People have been named after much, much worse things (my mom was named after a TV show, my brother because hsi birthday is on christmas, and husband simply named after his horrid father).... Names are difficult enough to come up with. Firiona is lovely.
As long as she didn't name the child Qeynos. Because that would be just wrong. (Everyone does know that Qeynos = SonyEQ, right?)

As the old adage goes: "a man may work from sun to sun but a womans work is never done". I have only really wanted to play games to waste time when I'm waiting in line or at work between tasks. When I get home, I have things that need to get done, and I don't have 5 hours to sit mindlessly at a computer just to finish a game. It seems senseless. if I'm going to play a game, something needs to come of it!
however, if it becomes a sort of contact sport, such as an MMORPG, or ET where you kill your husband in the next room and his friends.. that is a lot more worth it. Playing Fatal Frame, Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat with your mate is a form of "together" time that is actually interesting, cooperative, and productive -- definitely moreso than TV.
However.. reading FP up there.. I suddenly have a distinct need to play Bloodrayne... alone...
But, back on topic... I say that girls have the games out there... there is a good range. Now you have to give them a REASON to play. It seems all the guys I know just enjoy the time to waste. But I need a reason to give up 3 hours to get my char one level instead of playing Mario Party with my daughter, oil painting, gardening, doing homework, reading, cleaning, giving daughter a bath, or doign ANYTHIGN with daughter while she's still young enough to like me...

1) Create games 2) Advertise games so men like them 3) Advertise female aspect of already-bought game as:

b) a way to get out frustration on boy that wouldn't go to family easter party by killing him repeatedly with knife in ET... and then taunt him to his friends that he's getting killed by a girl. Oh, and have a cheat code for girls that boys do NOT want. For example: Girls get pink skirted uniforms, but higher computer-controlled aiming. Because c'mon, it needs to be fair against these guys that HAVE played non-stop for 3 years. Pink frilly skirt can be modified depending on how much cheating you want to use. if you're going to cheat up to almost-god-mode, you have to wear a bikini. That seems fair.

Woah.. there for a minute I thought this was a description of WoW... and then I thought it was EQ. But, it definitely wasn't DAoC.

We're going to have to lvl up for a while. H3: Son of a....
now THAT could be DAOC, EQ, WoW, or CoH. And yes, I'm an MMORPG slut. And soon, I'll be an MMORPG board game slut! But I will never, EVER be a D&D geek slut.
Heres the big problem I have with equating violent video games with violent acts:
when I was a kid, after playing video games I did not instantly want to eat mushrooms & jump on turtles. I did not go around shooting jumping things with a sword that shoots out silver swords when I was full health.
However, I _HAVE_ walked out of a store at dusk and thought "oh, I need to cast the spell to make myself seeat night". And, I am a little afraid of dragons that look like ducks. Okay, a lot.
It does depend on the person and the time in their life, I think. If Jumpstart video games are good for my daughter, then the shooting games & WoW _MUST_ be teaching her _SOMETHING_.
In all honesty, I believe this is a societal phase. The same people that yelled "Noo! we can't show violence on TV to kids! It's bad for them! Ditto with sex!" are yelling now. Someone will always want the world to think of the children. One day a president or governer will stand up and say "WE CANNOT ALL THINK OF THE CHILDREN! IT IS TIME TO THINK OF THE PARENTS, AND HOW TO TEACH THEM TO THINK OF THEIR OWN DAMN CHILDREN!!"

"Microsoft on Wednesday claimed a victory in a high-profile Web browser patent dispute, as an appeals court partially reversed a lower court decision that left the software giant exposed to $565 million in damages."

Is it too trendy to speak in Cups? I can understand the liters/gallons thing, but why not cups? you have tablespoons! And yes, at this point I'd even accept coffee-cup size.
And I really do want to know this.... if I have learned one thing about making icecream, it's FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. When it says "Add orange juice", it means from concentrate with the water. Not fresh. Then the ice cream will never harden.
And, if for some reason you mean "grains" for the g.. then I take back this entire post. And I'm going to have to go research if honey mango comes in grains...
you know.. I hate to say it, but I can't say this is a bad thing. I hate VoIP! About damn time someone outlaws it! with the little "quirks" and "disabilities".... I say we outlaw it until it gets mo' bettah.
"contaminated with animal proteins"???
How is this a bad thing? C'mon scientists, turn poop into poopjuice! (ala Red Meat)
We've been needing some research on how to create half-human-half-animals for a while now! I personally am DYING to merge my DNA with a ferrets!
