Well, they don't think they have jurisdiction over foreign individuals. But they do have jurisdiction over the company holding the data - and quite possibly over the physical server itself (if it is in an american data centre).
Problem is - it's not his patent, but Creative's. Turns out that he independently reached the same algorithm as they did, and iD "licensed" it when they used EAX.
Wow - it's amazing that the Diario de Pernambuco had such an in-depth computer section (or at least much deeper than other brazilian newspapers). Congrats on the article.

Not so much "thinking otherwise" as "choosing somewhere not so controversial" (as there are no Palestinian claims to Tel Aviv). And also, until the Six Day War, Jerusalem was divided between Jordan and Israel (so not a nice place to put your new embassy).
With some versions of Visual Studio (and the Xbox 360 extensions for VS) Microsoft ships a static analysis tool, which is also very useful in finding potential problems.
For this kind of thing, Israeli/El Al security are always extra cautious (or annoying, depending on which side of the stick you are) with women travelling alone.
I'd hardly call it anti-competitive. Actually, the whole point of video game consoles is to provide developers a consistent platform, which would be impossible if users could install their own OS on it.
In the last years we've seen lots of new courses like this in Brazil, although we have no real demand for so many "game professionals". And most game professionals hold BSc in computer science for programming and BA for the art part.
And as the EA exec said, most of people with such degrees are not suitable for entry-level jobs. I'm myself a game programmer, and I can safely say that the programming skills of most guys that come from these schools is sub-par with the average CS Joe. The lack of theoretical education on computer science creates some problems to understand the larger picture sometimes.

Wow, people still call Microsoft M$.
As a non-american, I didn't take "American Agencies 101" at college.
Ft Meade is where the NSA headquarters are located.

And he used a capture card, so you'd get the PS1's output in same screen as the computer.

Lewin is an officer in the Israel Defense Forces, having served in the country's military for more than four years.
Service in the IDF, for men, is usually 3 years. Those in special forces might serve for 4, 5 years. Nothing really special to see here.
Not so much "thinking otherwise" as "choosing somewhere not so controversial" (as there are no Palestinian claims to Tel Aviv). And also, until the Six Day War, Jerusalem was divided between Jordan and Israel (so not a nice place to put your new embassy).
I still find hard to believe that Anonymous/Lulzsec (or whoever is the driving force behind it) is just doing it "for the lulz".
(inb4, I know that Lulzsec and Anonymous are two separated things)
I don't see how exactly this fits the definition of "stuff that matters". Or "news for nerds" too, actually.
HDMI -> DVI conversors are trivial (in fact, Apple ships one of those with Mac Minis, instead of Mini DisplayPort -> DVI).
With some versions of Visual Studio (and the Xbox 360 extensions for VS) Microsoft ships a static analysis tool, which is also very useful in finding potential problems.

I guess you mean if the license is OSI compliant, as only GPL/LGPL and some variants thereof are FSF compliant...
And that's why some of us grown their own weed. Oh, wait.
Simple: kdawson.
Lokigames did that, and look how much good it did to them.
The Xbox 360 doesn't use DirectX, but rather a similar API. Also, one has to account for other hardware differences (e.g., unified memory).
I'd hardly call it anti-competitive. Actually, the whole point of video game consoles is to provide developers a consistent platform, which would be impossible if users could install their own OS on it.
Sony allows Linux to run on the PS3 to allow it to be taxed as a computer, not as a video game.
Great, who could see that coming?
He needs to understand what news and matters mean...

And don't get me started on game designers (there are courses focusing on that), as 99.999% of companies don't hire "game designers". Which don't stop us from getting 3, 4 resumés each week asking for a position as game designer.
Coincidentaly, I've landed on my current job (network programming for games) by doing some code for open source IRCds.
