I have a home studio set up that is pretty quiet. Unless I'm recording or playing music the only sounds are me typing and a very faint PC fan. I wonder how the software would react to a near slience environment. Also, it sounds like a ton of fun to play around with, making odd noises on purpose and what not.
They are in the wild. Rare, I'm sure, but I have seen them. If it's not checksummed to a fairly decent degree you can believe a hardware device is able to be subverted at the hardware level if physical switches are not used to prevent an overwrite. In my opinion, EVERY hardware device with a flashable firmware chip on it should include physical security for this reason.
Actually, wouldn't it make contraband items like cookies, cupcakes and other unhealthy foods even more desirable? Hahah Lunch room prohibition. I love it. I'd have RAN my school if we had this sort of operation going down.
It's like an elemental system in an RPG. Windows is weak against hacks, but strong vs. clueless users. Unix variants are weak agains end user sympathies, but hardened against hackers and what not. Throw Linux at a clueless user or force a unix guru to use Windows and you're likely to kill maim or outright destroy them both. I guess Macs could be considered the "non-elemental" kills-all system. it really is like a game, but it's too bad it really isn't any fun at all.
The man is awesome and was one of the first VG-related person I really came to admire to a great extent. His work on the early FF's was great and I loved those characters so much more than the newer "girly" characters. to me and my group of gamer friends he was a member of the "Holy Trinity of Square:" Hironobuo Sakaguchi, Nobuo Uematsu, and Yoshitaka Amano.
That I ran a short while ago in which the party of adventurers (survivors on a post-apocalyptic earth) accidently re-activated an android, an open source A.I. project that was re-envisioned to fight back at the Orwellian government that ultimately ended up causing the apocalypse. A bit off topic, I know, but ever since running that game I've dreamed about robotics going open source.
I personally think he just half listened to someone's canned, watered-down explanation of the Internet. I understand what you're trying to say, but you're kinda off-topic.
Tell me about it. I want to do a study on how currency is made, so the US treasury should allow me private access to official printing plates, inks and paper used in the process of printing money. My tax dollars helped to purchase the printing facilities and equipment and I'm certain to own some of the money printed in such facilities in the near future, so why shouldn't they aid my research by allowing me access to the materials I need?
I was agreeing with you. No matter how much proof you've got, you just cannot "prove" some things to some people. I believe in creation. I also believe much of science has presented to me.
Does the counter system actaulyl WORK this time around? Hmm.... I won't be buying a 360 just for this game, but I'll certanly check reviews (from other gamers) to see if it's at least worthy of a casual tournament.
NWN, and yeah. I remember that the server I played on got hacked and I was among characters deleted..Not to mention the horrrible downtimes that most hosted servers have.
I don't care about WoW and it's wars, but in the case of Aeris, she was DEAD, not KO, the status ailment that Phoenix Down cures. There's a difference.
CHEESE! That's right. Just stick some string cheese in the power adapter and it'll work like a heat sink and draw the heat from your console, making some tasty nacho sauce all the while. Microsoft has done it again! And if they manage to find a way to encorporate their version of the George Foreman grill into their next next gen console then I'll have everything I could even need!
The most inspiring article I've read in a long long time. Sadly, my mos impossible-sounding dreams are dwarfed by the improbability of a colored bubble. Who'd have thought?

RIP, mate. No way gaming would have ben the same without the good ole' stick. Fighting gamers' peripherial of choice.

He was pausing for emphasis. That's a speech tactic, ya know.

Then how come life did not already form in one of these "universes", advance and discover us?

So... what you're saying is that people are free to believe what ever they want dispite any and all evidence provided?
What about when the sensor data is spoofed?

There is a "servervault" option that allows server-side character store only.
I'll bet it goes nice with my tin foil hat!

Who the hell wants a big bouncing ball of toxic dust for X-mas?
I'd be torn. Cool space dust... or the Xbox 360 that I asked for. Descisions, descisions!
Hell yeah! *hugs the Z890*
First bubbles, now Lasers! Frikin' Lasers!
If there's a hot female security guard on duty, I'm gonna SO lie so I'll get searched by her.
