They gave this information to the "public" by handing it over to the LCD? It costs $150 to obtain a non-commercial license from LCD. This is ridiculous but i guess money is the best way to control information.
Parents are more than capable of handling this decision on their own. These days people trying to eek out a living and doing something beyond the norm to set themselves apart don't need bad publicity because some think-tank believes that these types of things are too much for parents to think about. This doesn't need to controlled or mandated.
You use comcasts DNS servers, you are down stream from them in a "line". Their DNS servers will be (or have already been) updated to recieve DNSSEC responses, but they will translate and forward regular DNS responses to your cable modem. they can do it. It seems like a good way to force comcast customers be unable to bypass their DNS servers. This way they won't need to update any firmware on the customers end, which will save them man-hours and they can hijack failed DNS responses and display a page with "we R teh roxors!" or something in it.
It could happen anyway.
If all the game's DRM subs are expecting static values it is rather trivial to parse through the DRM routines piecemeal and pass values until they return relevant data. If their dynamic than an algorithm can be deduced from the successfully passed values. It's already done in some keygens. It just seems people are getting lazy.
The physics is what made the first Halo great. To take apart Halo2 and find out they just skinned the havok engine, made me very sad.
The Halo 1 code already had support for up to 32 players in maps, pretty darn good network compression, which did need some work but they outsourced the network stack to a stand alone engine so it wouldn't have been hard.
Ok, now i'm just ranting. all the textures were hashed and there were stand-in memory allocs for new weapons/vehicles/sprites.
Not that I didn't give it a chance, it did have the word "Halo" in the title, so I thought, "Hey this will be great".
Slashdot should start making Skins that people can use!!!
I mean seriously, it's pretty stupid design layout. I don't know what I pay you for! If you can't make all my webpages look the same than you should make yours look like everyone elses. Ican't get on AOL any more either!! ever sense you opened idle.slashdot up i can't get online!!.
Sorry, my little brother wrote that.
Really though, could you make a skin that displays green on black that also runs slower than the actual site? Plus I decided to leave my little brothers comment in my comment cause my delete key is broken.
If we're talknig about simple single if else statements great.
But more often than not, one gets a convoluded nested if, which for readability purposes could be often beter used in case arrays
One practice I came across was that if the algorithym had more than 3 nested if statments then we used a case array
case(1,2,3,4,5,6)
{ :1(do something) :2(do something else) :3(do something else) :4(do something else) :5(do something else) :6(do something else)
}
Wouldn't it be possible, using the sun as a center point, to measure the distance to the termnation shock vs the boundaries of the heliosphere to determine how fast and in what vector our solar system is moving through space relative to the center of our galaxy?
Or has this already been done, 'cause I can't find the info.
Possibly, using this information, couldn't an orbital pattern of our solar system be extrapolated against the center of the galaxy as a reference point?
I didn't take into account PC.
What if they are in the midst of a civil war??
Asparagus eaters and...say cabbage eaters.
what if the asparagus eaters lost?!?!
I'd be totally screwed.
jeeze...I need to properly think through my random thoughts.
I could have had a place of power...but now i'd get tortured for being a brown noser and then killed for being a rebel.....what if they hate cabbage too...oh crap i'm sinking...
I need sleep now.
I'm kinda 50/50 on this one, on one hand the verbage is 5th grade level spout (high school level for us floridians). On the other hand, He could have just been so pissed of he just started brain dumping to the keyboard, but usually involves loss of spaces and punctuation.
Maybe He just had a fight with melinda and was using MS as a punching bag.
I changed my mind, i'm going 80/20 towards fake.
Oh, thats right I forgot that digital music has ABSOLUTLY NOTHING to do with anything software.
But, to point out the obvious. The Internet is a community. Slashdot is a sub-community. We talk in a community forum to address concerns about said community. And we share the concerns. Create an account and set your prefs to see stuff about hardware and software things, then you can remain ignorant the rest of your life.
(whoops, oh well I already typed it)
"Hey, we need to get back in the game...Quick bring about easisly dismissed claims to get us in then news then tomrrow we'll release something and everyone will think we learned from our 'mistakes'".
Ahh, thanks. then the analgy can be adjusted to:
Microsoft claiming ownership of WINE because it can be used to run pirated copies of 3rd party software, even though you can run legitamate copies with proper liscenses.
I do not use WINE and had it mis-understood. I Enjoy being corrected as i do not like being wrong. But enjoy being right, for the right reasons, moreso.
So this guy is going to stop pirating of arcade classics by "claiming" ownership of the name of a project that he did not develop. I know this guy needs some leverage, and understand that if M.A.M.E were his he could use it as such. I can't see how this would be any diffrent from Microsft "claiming" ownership of WINE becuase it can be used to run pirated copies of windows. To what ends will this logic deteriorate to?

One can explain something to another, but if said person is unable to relate to the way that one is teaching them then either: The explainer is a horrible teacher, or, the explainee just simply doesn't understand. And i, for one, am a horrible teacher.

I think the cops heard her talking about the rainbows and came to put an ned to the dessimation of critical information like this...
FIGHT THE POWER!!

Yeah, south Florida. The Mexicans raise the curve dramatically.

yeah, they shred documents only when litligation is brought about...but it's all just coincidence. so none of it should be taken into consideration.
