Here in mexico there are suspicions of dirty operations by Citigroup. i.e. millionary tax fraud when buying mexican bank "banamex". Mexican News Reporter Lily Tellez has received death threats because she spoke about it.
And you thought losing some customers' information was serious. Ha hah.
Actually, people seem to yell (or talk very loudly) into cell phones because...
"I SAID that the reception sucks! Yes, SUCKS. Are you listening to me? No. Yes, no. TURN OF THAT NOISE DAMMIT - oh wait a second. Waitress, mind giving me an extra soda? Thanks.
No. Yes. No.
I _DO NOT_ appreciate yelling! (at some point, someone tells me to lower my voice tone) I can't help it, reception is awful, and look, if they allowed phones, it was for a reason. Moron... No, it wasn't to you. No, i said it wasn't to you! There's this idiot next to me telling me to shut up. Yes. No. FINALLY!! Well I have to go to the bathroom, I think that lobster is giving me nausea. I said NAUSEA! Good bye! *CHIRP*"
Probably not going to happen, but I hope that somehow, the source code can be leaked out, and made open source.
It can't be done, but someone can:
a) Dupe the interface using wxWidgets (a.k.a. "cloning", interface "reverse engineering") b) Do all the i/o stuff without decrypting c) Add support for plugins that WILL do the decrypting or even ENCRYPTING i.e. for privacy purposes. Make it so they can be interfaced EASILY. d) Release the code for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES as in "preparing for when decrypting becomes legal" e) Wait for some hax0r to write a plugin and spread it via shareaza. Ta-da:)
Steps a) to d) are legal. Step e) is perfectly legal since you're just waiting for something to happen.
It looks more like Microbiologists are lazy people who are just trying to save a little bit work.
Yeah, and nuclear scientists are too lazy to build a gazillion particle accelerators so instead of doing hard work, as they SHOULD, they try their tests in a computer simulation, instead. This is outrageous! There's nothing worse than a lazy scientist! [/sarcasm]
This homebrew CPU might not impress us end-users, but this guy KNOWS how a CPU works. Have you guys wondered how modern-day CPU's are designed? You just see the chip. Ta-da.
But who deals with the processor pipeline? The cache? etc? As much as we consider ourselves "hax0rs", "da l337 of da l337", who in here KNOWS how CPU's work, to the point of being able to design one?
Make a game where I can escape into a terrific story
That's what's been missing. Good stories. I liked FF-X for example, but then it got tedious. I'd like a game with more story so that I could interact with other characters. More story, less leveling up.
Now MS does it and people like you still complain.
"OK, Now i no longer sell this black box. Instead I'll give you this nice transparent box so you know what it's made of. Oh, by the way, if you use it or copy it without paying me, I'll sue you (it's patented)."
Now will you tell me how that is "more friendly and open" than the previous?
By reading the article, I realized that, eventually, all prop. will be replaced with FOSS - just like Sony CD players gave way to the clones.
The proprietary value (which companies earn) is the value of the INVENTION: To fulfill specific - created or not - needs.
As the invention's usage is more and more common, the public gets acquainted enough to imitate (and even outperform) the invention. This is how inventions evolve.
Seems that with Open Source, this phenomenon extends to software, too. Who knows if tomorrow (long-term) we'll have photoshop clones (NOT the Gimp), windows clones (ReactOS, anyone?), etc.
Of course, then more niches will appear (people will need specialization), and the cycle will begin.
While I disagree with that fee for the domains, I say it's a good idea.
Banning.xxx domains from your internet explorer 7 will be WAY EASIER than having a list of 23,000 sites in an ever-expanding blacklist.
Oh, and trust me, porn sites will COMPETE for having the.xxx domains. After all they want to catch your attention, don't they? If they don't buy a.xxx domain, the competitors will.

Photoshop for DNA

If they come up with Frontpage for DNA, I just might become an investor.
Then we'll have humans with an extra 30 useless chromosomes - so we'll have to wait until Dreamweaver DNA, DNA Tidy and DNA validator.:)

Can the GMs award extra experience for clever solutions?
You mean like this?
and giving out "Darwin" awards.

They were powerups,I swear!!!

This is what happens when you write controversial software without RELEASING THE FRIGGING SOURCE CODE first.
Imagine what would have happened if Bram Cohen lived in the US and hadn't released the code for bittorrent.
Poof.

now we should wait for them to opensource winamp the app.
Just wait a couple of years when quad and eight-core CPU's (or GPU's) hit the market.
Now, you just pop in the disk and play
How funny. Win95 boasted on "plug n play". Something's DEFINITELY wrong with computer gaming.
Dude, you hit reply on the WRONG topic! This is about SCO, not the german nuke. Mod parent down, please (-1, Careless).
Things like this in history are probably why it was unanimous to decide to do something about Iraq when they thought they were building WMDs.
Yes, FUD is a powerful motivator.

Yes, but even that way, filtering can be made easier:
1) Lookup domain.com
2) Lookup domain.xxx
Do they match the same IP? Ban it.

You must not be an anime fan, then. We've thought like this since the beginning.
Have a customized password-based BT client which will connect to your subscription-based BT tracker.

IIRC, an article (was it physorg, or nanoapex?) on genetic engineering software said that genetists used Microsoft Excel to analyse DNA sequences!
(Repeat after me: Genetists, are, not, programmers.)
