Interesting. The nameservers in use are on a domain registered to openbittorrent. This means that the registrar is not at fault.
Bob hands Charlie a note written in Spanish, and asks him to hand it to Sue.. Charlie can't read Spanish, but before accepting notes Charlie did ask that they not use him to talk about blowing up the White House. Charlie hands the note to Sue, and hands the return message back to Bob.
Keep in mind, this whole time, Charlie can't read Spanish. Turns out, the notes were bomb-plot arranging.
So, is Charlie really at fault or otherwise responsible for the contents of said note? I think that, upon demonstration of Charlies request, and demonstration of Charlies lack of Spanish literacy, he would be found innocent.
So. Change "note" to "bittorrent tracker data," and "bomb plot" to "copyrighted material." Oh shit! Charlies in big trouble now!!
You could try actually learning what Marx et all were actually about. What Russia (and China, now) are displaying are [b][u]NOT[/u][/b] anything [i]close[/i] to communism.
I'm not saying it would work. But I am saying, well, exactly what I just said.
When you read this, realize that players can and do pay for their subscriptions with earned in-game currency. If you can make 300-500 million ISK per month, you can use it to pay for a second account. The more you make, the more you can sustain.
Not everyone does this, but it's certainly popular.
It's plenty possible to make ISK off of what you start with.
I started with the standard-issue 5k. I now have 210 million ISK, with another 80 million in escrow for purchase orders etc.
While my account is ancient, and my character almost 6 months old, I've only been actively playing him for about 3 months. I kept nothing from previous characters, as they were not very far along, and a multi-year-long break can throw you out of it.
I can't say that counterweighting would be all that difficult. This would likely be done with very specialized equipment (likely at manufacture) and obviously with computer support.
Adjustable weights could be moved in/out on the radial, and when the appropriate spot is found (by locking, rotating, and measuring the resulting wobble) "fix" the weight. The "fix" could be done such that it either includes the fastening system (pins for instance) or the fixing media (glue).
Doing this with computer support would be trivial. Doing it by hand would take lots of trial and error, and require you to run it at a far higher speed (as our eyes/ears/hands are not as sensitive as properly calibrated computer equipment - and would need a higher rotational speed for an off-balance to become obvious)
Well, you have a point here... though Valve games (the ones that would use VAC, their "hacker catcher") are marked in the server browser and can be filterd inclusive or exclusive on the list.
If you (remember I'm not meaning you specifically) get 'caught' hacking on VAC server and hence banned, and lose your stuff... you have nobody to blame but yourself.
If it was NOT on a secured server, then yes, I would agree something is wrong. But that something is likely that the whole server did NOT agree, else who would have reported it (remember, there is an absence of an automated system at this point)
- If you have savegames on your Mac, Netbook, PC,..these savegames follow you around. You can start playing on the netbook, continue on the Mac and finish on the PC.
Only if the game supports the Steam Cloud. I don't know how common third-party games are with this, I have not personally seen this used outside of a Valve game. Most will stick that stuff in your profile directory somewhere. ('my documents' or whatever).
Valve may at any time at their discretion close your steam account, or stop their servers, with no obligation to deliver you a working copy of the game. This has happened to severe hackers on their more popular titles, such as Counter Strike and Team Fortress 2.
I do have to say though, I don't lose any sleep over this. You 'signed' the ELUA, and you went and acted like a jackass ("hacking" in a multiplayer game is nothing but being a jackass) and the consequences for such an act was meted out. It's not like they were innocent.
As soon as this is released, it will be installed by me. All my future Steam purchases, should the purchase itself be platform specific, will be for the Linux port/version.
If the purchase is NOT platform specific (and this is what I'm hoping for) then well... hrm, play in Windows, or play in Linux. Wow, what a silly choice! (Linux, for you neanderthals out there)
How about Starforce, the one that (used to, anyways) actually brick drives?
Steam, if you can call it DRM (I don't, I consider it a purchase library and content distribution system) is far from the worste, you definitely win there.
This seems a lot less retarded than Centralia. If you have to choose between burning the methane or allowing it to escape, burning is the better option.
Slashdot Mirror
That's not the point. Blowing up the White house isn't either.
You both should STFU and read my post again, and try not to freak out halfway through and jump on the reply button.

Oops.
Actually it's closer to this:
Bob hands Charlie a note written in Spanish, and asks him to hand it to Sue.. Charlie can't read Spanish, but before accepting notes Charlie did ask that they not use him to talk about blowing up the White House. Charlie hands the note to Sue, and hands the return message back to Bob.

er, whoops. all this new 'ajax' crap makes me want to use bbcode. Doh!

This is true. It balances out the two extremes of 'time vs money'
No, you don't have to accept and obey the local law.
You do, however, have to accept the consequences for your decision.
Religion says no != illegal.
If it IS so, then I say said religion/government relationship ITSELF is illegal.
There's a difference?
When you read this, realize that players can and do pay for their subscriptions with earned in-game currency. If you can make 300-500 million ISK per month, you can use it to pay for a second account. The more you make, the more you can sustain.

Yes, because the extremes represent the majority so well.
By that logic, we are all child-raping genocidal sociopaths with a penchant for cannibalism.
Timmy, those over there are Trolls. We try to pretend they don't exist.

What do you have against roosters?
Er, did you not even watch the device?
It UTILIZES at least two of those.
It's not the components that are novel, it's the combination. You know, how pretty much anything beyond a simple machine is.

Nobody can! WHOOP WHOOP!

I'd say virtualbox or something similar can fill that need. Almost time to reclaim that drive space!

Grandparent is fail.
Can we get some non-video information?
The closest thing I can find is in Derweze, Turkmenistan
