That is SiteKey's major fallback. I enter a fake password into the front page to get me to my sitekey, then login correctly. That gets around BOA's stupidity.
The snippet and blog both mention a "Comcast Initiative", making it sound like everyone knew about it: well, I'm a Comcast customer who hates Comcast's horribly designed DVR, and this is the first I've heard. The article says "more information is coming." Does anyone have any more information on this, such as what was previously reported?
I own a website with forums, and, while I don't accept anonymous posts at all, I do have a userbase from the entire world. If I'm in Tennessee, and my server is in Atlanta, how would this affect me? Would I have to collect everyone's information to comply with this law (that only affects NJ)? Would I have to collect names and addresses of only New Jersey residents? Would I have to do anything at all, since I am not in New Jersey? This scares me, because it makes it sound like if I do have to collect these addresses, if someone says "Screw you [insert name here]" and that person sues me, if I don't have the legitimate info to pass off to them, it becomes me who's in the frying pan.
This TERRIFIES me. I should not be held responsible for someone else's stupidity, or this country's obsession with lawsuits.
7 of the top 10 games of all time was made by Square or Enix... says a lot about this company, and about the type of games the Japanese culture tends to enjoy.
33 days straight of playing a game to get an all expense paid Vegas vacation. While its a little over the top, I think splitting the time with a friend would be ok.
Not to mention the fact that it leaves off Sony's use of two paddle buttons (R1, R2, L1, L2) which hadn't been done. They also left off the Dreamcast Analog joystick (which was truly horrible). I would also think that the DS's touch-screen would be worth mentioning, since its definately an evolution of the gamepad aspect of gaming, even if the DS is a portable device.
A free web-based backup service being included with Windows would honestly be good selling point for me, assuming the connection speeds were decent. All MS hating aside, I would enjoy that feature. I know that there are plenty of ways to do this, but something integrated is a plus in my book.
Several students were caught cheating off of each other last semester in one of my classes; the thing is, there's a fine line between copying someone's paper and helping each other. I agree with a zero tolerance policy on cheating, I have never cheated on schoolwork, but a vast majority of people who are accused of cheating, typically are not. It was a homework assignment and they all worked on it together. They didn't copy each other's code, but it was similar. However, they were all flunked out of the class.
Personally, I think zero tolerance is a wonderful idea, but it doesn't seem to work in practice: from what I've seen, it tends to get the students who aren't cheating in trouble moreso than the ones who are cheating.
When the Saturn introduced the analog controller, it caused the same thing: some games required the newer controller. I believe the same thing happened with the PS1 when they released the Dual Shock controller. Obviously, not every game would need it, but some, like Super Mario 64 DS, would greatly benefit from something other than using the touch screen as a controller, which, at least for me, is not a pleasant task. The DPad, there, is just not a good fit.
The DS could definately benefit from a redesign: it needs more than just the traditional directional pad, and could be much easier to hold. The current design causes my hand to hurt after a short amount of time.
I'm honestly disappointed that Nintendo isn't considering this, as it could definately provide some marked improvement in the length of play per game session (I normally only play for fiteen minutes. If the design were better, I could play for 30 minutes at a time, for example).
There's a difference between taking an idea and molding it into something marketable, and taking a story, word for word, and copying it, and claiming it as your own.
Well, I don't know what Norton will do, but I do know what virusscanner I am going to buy tonight, since my McAfee subscription just expired: Trend.
If Norton were smart, they'd rewrite their next version to not be a system hog. That's the main reason I won't use Norton now. If they combined having an ethical company that is well known with a good product, I think McAfee would bite the dust.
My problem has simply been that my ISP does not have an advertised upload speed. I probably just have not played around with it enough, and have simply taken the word of my friends who are knowledgable of such matters one too many times. I'll definately look into this, so I can attempt to get this at a better rate.
Nintendo, to me, has always focused more on fun, entertaining games for the entire family; mo other system has these fun games such as Mario Kart and Animal Crossing. Sony and Microsoft focus on the realistic and violence aspects moreso, leading to a system for more mature audiences. The thing is, Nintendo gets most of these games too. So, in the long run, any Nintendo system seems like a sure-bet for a better system. I'd take Mario Kart any day over Project Gotham Racing. Why? Because to me, its a whole lot more fun.
Granted, I've only used a handful of bittorrent clients, but my biggest complaint with most is that they use the majority of my bandwidth, and I can't even get google to load when I have them open, let alone most other sites. Why would I want to have this happen every time I open Firefox? I open my browser to surf the net, not get bogged down with extensions that drain every ounce of my connection so I can share a single picture or movie with my girlfriend.
Granted, its a good idea, I just hope they fix that one thing that plagues other clients. With Bittorrent, typically, you're sharing larger files, with this, the intent (though I'm sure it will be used for other things as well) is to share smaller files with close friends. Hopefully, this will be taken into account in the final version.
I've had four Motorola phones now, and only one has been decent. The one I have now, the Motorola v710 is rated by most companies as the worst cell phone made of all time. It does allow me to answer with the speakerphone on (if I receive a call and it isn't currently on, thats true), but has all of your other complaints. What REALLY ticks me off is the crappy service. I had an LG phone with no problems. Move to a more advanced Motorola phone and can barely use the damned thing. I personally am really looking forward to my March 25th upgrade date.

You're very right. Famitsu's readership is dedicated to those genres. It still says a lot about Square and Enix, but not about Japan as a whole.

If you sent someone a message on AIM or Y! with these commands in them, what happens then?

Of course MS won't include it, they can make additional money by selling it seperately, just as they have always done with Plus! for Windows.
Nintendo games tend to keep me coming back more than any other...
Mario Kart, Starfox, and Animal Crossing...
Keep in mind thats only $.02 every other week. Since they'd have to take out at least one cent, that's only $.50 a year, before your tax return.
This would certainly be an interesting experiment, but I would see many problems with this server going down, and speed being an issue...
I know I'm not the first person to say this, but those images are amazing. I think it's wonderful that you've been able to do this.

I think I'd be shot if I ever attempted that. Besides, she's honestly the only other person I know who really uses Firefox.
Besides, even if all else fails, there's still how many countries in the world that would still be able to use analog TVs?
