Back in the dialup days I used something called Getright frequently. When a file took days to download and your connection was unstable... they had their use. Nowdays, not so much.
I spent many an hour playing BOTF. Good times. I would always cheat though. Something about humongous swarms of small ships got my goose...
GC2 has a lot of goodies, and the core gameplay seems very BOTF-ish. Note that you design your own ships, you can design your own race... it's very awesome.
You're assuming they won't patch it out when that comes.
Don't believe me? I just installed Bioshock last week. It downloaded the DRM stuff during install as usual, and had to activate... but the install limitations was removed.
The whole story of Assassin's Creed has you inside a memory playback machine. The game state is saved when events (such as collecting a flag, completing an investigation, killing a target) and the small details (crowd location, players location etc) are not saved. When you resume, the important bits persist, and you find your avatar ready to leave the "safehouse" to begin work.
So, in this particular game, it won't be all that bad... but I still think it is retarded, and this is the last Ubi game I'll be buying because of it.
Indeed. Dragon Age, Mass Effect 1 & 2... turning points in my opinion of EA.
Assassin's Creed 2 will be the last UBI game I purchase unless they do a similar turning around. I'll put up for it _once_ because I've been waiting for this damn game too long (I absolutely loved the first)
You'd be surprised. Doom 3, Enemy Territory, and Quake 4 would send and receive the same data to verify the CD key. I'm not putting money on it, but don't discount the possibility yet.
Then they are welcome to continue using whatever they want. But fuck anyone who thinks they have the right to determine if someone's work is a waste of time or not.
They are still early into Step 2. Checking the site and status details out, I can't understand how this is ready for Prime Time. Most cards don't work, many essential features are just plain not implemented...
He did. He has an established history with Southwest of buying two seats for the very reason you would expect. He was in standby seating because of (his choice) changed flight times. They didn't have enough seats.

Odd. The story reads "government or a famous athlete" here.

That's a wonderfully 'legitimate' looking website...

Then you have the dangerous ones, like me. I can play music. I can compose. I can model in 3D.
Buuut I can't code very much... so I guess I don't fit the stereotype.
and haven't gotten a virus, rootkit, or other miscellaneous malware in years. ... that made itself known.
Apparently you know little about this rootkit.
It gets updated daily, sometimes more often. The crackers are working in realtime to keep it ahead of security.
SSL or any other common encryption scheme throws that out the window.
Two games for you to look into:
Galactic Civilizations II (screams "I CAME FROM BOTF!!"
Hearts of Iron (the series... just go look at it... you want depth? hehe)
I'm fairly sure it was sarcasm. But it does bring up a point...
Why would the school laptops have webcams? Certainly some company could make a good niche profit making school-use hardware...
The licensor can license it under an arbitrary and discretionary license, should they chose.
Were Google to give them a huge chunk of money, they might just give Mozilla limited redistribution rights.
Wikimedia doesn't refuse donations from corporations...
So I'm forced to choose between the publisher's rootkit, or the release group (or torrent rapackager). Nice.
Thanks Ubi... fuck you.

Bend over... :P
Friends don't let friends release bots drunk.

Which is wrong. Apologies to the Space Industry, but you can't go reassigning scientific terms because you feel like it.
Except that Phobos is in Inner Space.
Outer space is the solar system beyond the asteroid belt (which Mars is inside). Deep space is beyond the solar system.

There's some homework for you. Troll.

He did. For * sakes, READ before you post, dammit!
