    I agree, Such privacy intrusions so early is a real turn off.

    Earth to Second Life.

    Wake up to the real world. You must build trust and confidence in your service with your new users before you can request such sensitve details from them. With zero track record there isn't much to set you apart from the barrage of scam artist websites out there in the users mind.

    First impressions are important part of the user experience. Screw it up and many people will never give you a second look much less life.

  19. Goverment doesnt want security for others on Open Source Enables Terrorist States · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "The Government on April 21 advised the University to suspend work on the "security test" portion of the project"

    I would imagine any intelligence agency worth thier salt has a database of security holes they can exploit against a target of os X on hardware Y with app Z. Many of them not reported to preserve thier use for espionage.

    They were probably pissed off when they suddenly found themselves funding the closure of security holes they paid to have found and hoped to use in the future.

    Maybe Theo got it all wrong. They were actually hoping Theo and his pals would just get drunk with the money and piss about, rather then fix those pesky security holes. The money was really ment to be free as in beer!

  21. Broken Halos and Promises on Xbox Live Goes Online · · Score: 1
    This all started downhill right when Microsoft bought Bungie and interrupted, what was believed to be at the time, the immenient release of Halo for Mac/PC. This turned a possible Microsoft/Bungie PR win with PC/Mac gamers into a broken and crippled Halo exclusive for the Xbox with remote promise of online play defeated at the technical level by not allowing hd game/level patches on the Xbox (wasn't that one of the hyped features?). What could have been...

    So now Battlefield 1942 has stepped to the plate as the first massive vehicle online game, the spot that Halo seemed tobe destined for, but safely steered into irrelevance by Microsoft. As a long time fan of the Marathon series, this was a unexpected and disappointing end to allot of hype(1999->2003?). This pay to play service that Halo will soon be a part of is few more nails in the coffin.
