yeah but will we still have our memories when forever comes out?:-p
no i'm sure it'll be fine, I'm just going along with what everyone else is saying for the hell of it *lol*
Case in point - my younger siblings don't have access to top of the range PC's, and so often will play older games. I wouldn't be surprised if duke3d was last played only 5 years ago by them, some of them are probably young enough to not have discovered better things like drugs before forever comes out to wanna spend their money on that and play it:-p
If this is the case... i take it all back, it takes a while of being out of college to empty yourself of all the shit you accumulate there, and many don't manage it at all;-) but seriously, your insult should have been more in a personal context then, than what it was:-p
well thanks for correcting my course, that is a bad habit of my fingers typing that, however I do disagree with your usage of the word 'major', as a piece of software, say, in use by >20% of businesses, I'd call a major piece of software, and most software that is in use by >20% of businesses is in the 4 digit price range.
But this does just come down to different uses of the word 'major', hardly something you should blam "you're full of shit" to someone for.
I think your hotheadedness is clouding your view, and definitely your rational thinking abilities. It does of cause depend how you define; sure there's the 5-6 digit pricetag software, but then there's the 3 digit pricetag software, aimed at business, which while is smaller lower cost pieces of software, sells in much larger volume. These software packages OF CAUSE fit the description of a major piece of software, intended for businesses, which were the actual words your parent poster used.
It is hard to tell whether anyone outside of the "yeah, it's gonna be released with Vista" style jokes on slashdot knows the name, apart from those who played the previous games all those years ago, it's going to be difficult to break the collective image that people have of it.
It's possible they're going to have to be marketting it less as a sequal, but as a new game. I don't think they can rely on the name they had, because it's very much a "had".

What's wrong with them doing both? Anyways (heh) it's not to do with sounding professional, it's to do with not sounding sloppy. Being lazy with your speech demonstrates a laziness of your thoughts. Shouldn't personal pride be enough? I personally could care less (heh) how they've written it, but I would care if I was them.
"or a gas bomb killing off 98% of the government members when the security information is leaked and the bomb hidden in the parliament building"
OR the combined melodrama of a cowering public that believes that 98% of government members are going to be within fatal range of a gas bomb at one time, a scenario that would obviously go undetected if it weren't for data being stolen...
Assuming their interest in your data's justified, doing that takes time they might not have, and might alert others they're onto you. Assuming their interest isn't justified (eg, "got the wrong person", "misinterpreted evidence", "magic 8ball got stuck"), I'd rather they hack in to find out that I've got nothing of interest to them, than them flying me out somewhere and torturing me for the password, THEN find out I had nothing of interest to them, and deciding/what/ to do with me?
Or even better, I'm just gonna stay away from the USA!

or that the check_authentic() function's just replaces with 'return(1);' ;-)

/not/ the CPU, to actually make it smoother, no?
Surely the point is that it's using the GPU

But you'll need it to be able to run... duke nuken forever! hahahah... ohhh I'm killing me!
but have you ever tried swimming around in a hose pipe?
"how many gamers today even REMEMBER Duke Nuke'em at this point?"
;-)
The one's that are going to have this old game imprinted deep into the memories that they have "grown up from" now...
I think they need to start again, but with a new name

Data could have been wiped first, to help them in their denial as to where they were stolen from (or that they were even stolen).

No don't tell me, I wanna guess
Losing your key is just like losing your data... it's not called "lost" for no reason. And what happens? You learn a lesson.
And no, encryption might not be 100%, but it's still more than 0%.
(But then I couldn't exactly be able to trust someone to look after information if they can't even look after physical objects)
not if it's goatse guy!
Windows - it's that insecure, you don't even need physical access to a machine to steal it's componants! ;-)
...you're STEALING the WEB! :-p
Amazingly you've managed to filter out all the complaining that goes on! I don't blame you really, complaining is the most that many people do.
"Even if it's just small things, which is the job of some secretary"
:-p
He did say "makes sure I'm invited" not "makes sure he invites me", so it might be the job of some secretary
OMG! You're ONE OF THEM! I'm not telling you!

oo, thank's very much, I shall go check it out :-)
"You offer nothing original to this discussion"
:-p
I didn't say what the commensing flaming would be about, whether it's controversialness or it's unoriginality, but you still stepped up
