I've read quite a few of the problems and fixes. And looks like he is quite a decent programmer, with NO multiplayer programming experience. The alpha is pretty solid from a single player perspective, but the multiplayer is just an ugly hack on top of that. It's just a surprise that it works at all.
Really depends on the card, don't buy something random from AMD and expect it to work in Linux.
I have a laptop with a 1720 mobility something card, not a powerful thing. Windows works, but linux the closed source drivers refuse to do anything. And the open source drivers work, until you do anything 3D more complex then glxgears, then they just crash and burn X.
If you want linux support you just better stick to NVidia right now, my desktop uses an NVidia card and stability and performance are the same for windows and linux.
Pretty easy. Make it standard for all OSs to default to updating/patching *without* prompting the user.
As someone who just spend half a day fixing his Android phone because an update broke WiFi, I say, this is a BAD idea. Updates are off now, and will stay off.
It won't be the guys who set it up, who are hiding behind their anonymising proxies and not actually taking part in the DDoS attacks personally.
The dutch hacker that organized the attack on the dutch police site got taught Saturday. They released him today, but he could face up to 6 years in prison. Apparently he didn't want to hide the fact that he did it, he is only 19 so I don't think he knew he could end up in prison for that long.
Indeed. Co-op should get more attention. Difference in skill is less important in co-op, which makes playing together with friends more enjoyable.
The list of co-op games I know and enjoy is short: -SWAT 4 (up to 4 players, NEEDs voice communication, up to 10 players with Stetchkov Syndicate) -Diablo 2 (but hard to do with new players, as 'old' players run off like crazy because they know everything) -Serious sam (Yes, I'm serious! Just fun to shoot around a bit) -Commandos 2 (A bit tough to get running in multiplayer, only recommended for 2 players max, but great fun. Voice communication is a must) -Left 4 dead 1+2 (Up to 4 players, but can be great fun)
Still on my 'to try' list are: -Lara croft (the top down game, has coop, but was broken at PC release) -Trine (some indie game, which was on discount some time back on steam)
Most RTS games support coop vs computer, but if you have one or two very good players then they wipe all the computers off the map before you get to do anything.
Small tip, try to buy tools in awful colors. Almost nobody steals a pink screwdriver.
We used to be losing quite a few scope probes now and then. But the last scope we got came with these really bright gay colored probes, and they are awesome, nobody dares to steal them.
Actually guns are good for all around organizational features.
Just the other day, I opened my drawer to get my VB5 reference book, thought it'd be a great idea to whip up a form using Access 2000 for the database.
I had left my gun in my drawer on top of the book. So when I went to get the book, I had to pick up the gun. I then had a flash of bad memories, from the last time I used VB5, and was overcome with suicidal thoughts. I then realized that I was contemplating suicide, and I already had a gun in my hand, so I quickly put it back on top of the VB Book, closed the drawer, and have vowed never to touch that attrocity ever again.
This happens about twice a season.
Yeah. Bad habits die hard.
You should be using VB6 these days.

Goodbye, VGA

Funny, it's the other way around for me on my TV. It has a VGA port, but refuses to go beyond 1024x786, which looks horrible on a 42" TV. HDMI detects the right native resolution and works instantly.
Winning is just one of the many ways to achieve in a game. In pacman you couldn't really win, but you achieved higher levels every time you played. Or a higher score then someone else. In WoW, just like in many other games, you achieve things. You achieve a kill of the Lich King, or achieve some achievement. That's what keeps people playing, achieving things.
As a former WoW player, I say, I didn't get enough achieve for my time. I might play a bit again once Cataclysm goes in the discount.
Best "achieve" for my money this year: "Super Meat Boy" http://supermeatboy.com/ The game is hard, but not impossible, and you achieve more and more when you progress. Impossible things become possible, hard things become easy. You see yourself achieving progress. I don't think I'll ever "win" SuperMeatBoy, as the game features well over 300 levels. But it's damn fun trying (&dieing, died over 4000 times now)
You could store it in the data section, or at the end of the code section and don't checksum the last few bytes containing the checksum. It's pretty trivial, and also trivial to defeat.
Login as root, edit the CVS files directly. Not that hard really. With a bit of trickery you can even make it look like a legit commit, or something that has always been there.
but many of the games I play have no nintendo downloadable version.
Am I a pirate?
In strict sense. Yes. You answered your own question.
In my personal opinion, if they don't offer you to buy these old games anymore. Then go ahead.
And for every Homebrew Channel install that's only used for homebrew there is an install that isn't connected to the internet. At which point Team Twiizers cannot count that one. I'm not saying these numbers are very accurate, without counting for legit uses, unconnected installs. But the installation pool is in the right size order.
With a million kg of fuel strapped behind your back there simply is a chance of dieing. People are willing to take that risk. Having a safe mission is important for mission sake. Saving the crew when disaster happens... not so important.

The dutch however, just create new land.
Now go and make Tron Guy proud!
He did release the claim into the wild, possibly without verifying anything. Being who he is, people believe what he has to say.

Oh, indeed, House of the Dead OVERKILL! is great. Thanks for reminding me of that one.
I got myself extra gun attachments for that one.

So... slashdot is posting self-fulfilling articles now?
Exploring/finding out everything is also achieving something. "Killing" someone is also achieving something.
Socializing could also be called achieving something, but then I'm stretching it.
But I mend to say that people play games to achieve something. Only MMOs add the social part.
You don't play to win. You play to achieve.

I'm not sure a sixth-grader has the arm strength required for such a feat.
I managed to break/take apart just about anything at that age (and still do). Don't underestimate them.
Find a cheaper service. We payed something like 500 euros for a 5 year SSL certificate.
There are about 600K Wii's with the Homebrew channel (as reported by http://hackmii.com/ ) Which is a 'requirement' for Wii piracy.
There are over 75 million Wii units sold according to Wikipedia.
Claiming that 1% of the users has a huge impact on game sales is quite something.
Costs should be a larger problem then safety.
