I live in Cedar Falls Iowa, where we have two cable TV/Internet providers. One is the local utilities company CFU http://www.cfu.net/, and Mediacom http://www.mediacomcc.com/. CFU is municipally owned. Now here is the problem, and from what I have heard it's not an uncommon one, Mediacom can't seem to get it's records straight on who provides cable to any certain household, and on a number of occasions has CUT (physically) cable that CFU is providing to customers due to non-payment status in their systems. Now can it get much worse then that?
Yes, the Linux client was included, I have the Collectors Edition DVD that can prove it. It wasn't "officially" supported but the port was done by Ryan "icculus" Gordon. http://www.icculus.org/ He is also working on Unreal Engine 3 with Epic Games as well. It had 1 nasty bug right at the beginning, that actually ended up showing its head in the Windows client a few patches down the line. To say the least I have always been happy about Epic Games and id Softwares Linux support.
Their is a big difference between something the original developers included (built in cheat codes), and the 3rd party developers making applications interacting with the game.
I would say don't worry about using one, it can help simplify the build process (which can over complicate things at first), but they shouldn't be using the IDE to generate the code for them. Later on though, I think it would be best to actually talk about what it is and how it can help, along with covering using a debugger. The debugger can be one of the most powerful tools, but figuring one out on your own isn't exactly the easiest task.
Ok, let me put it this way, I was 9 or 10 when I first played Doom, and ever since the FPS genre has been my favorite, but I have not ONCE seriously thought about killing any one, because my PARENTS actually taught good from bad as a kid.
Also, most stores here in Iowa (at least in smaller town Iowa) actually check to make sure the customer is old enough to buy this stuff, but that doesn't stop the parents from buying it. The problem does come down to the parents, AND the stores, but I think they are doing enough already, and we don't need the government stepping in. If that happens, its not going to help at all, the kids can still go to an older friend, and give them the money to get it, just like they can and do for smokes and alcohol.
No, as all three are something you "know" none of them touch on something you have, or something you are (have is like a token, are is like fingerprint, iris, biometrics)
My father works for John Deere (yes the tractor company). They acutally use this 2 part system of authentication for remote access into the network, the specifics Im not going to get into, but it uses a constantly updating token, and pin combination. It cant take a little work to figure out, but once you get the basics, its pretty simple. Now, a swipe card or biomentric system would also work.
Slashdot Mirror
If you haven't seen his other interviews, he has stated he thinks DirectX is becoming a good API now, and that they might start using it.
Actually if Microsoft picks up this standard, they don't have to change, it's just being made easier if they so choose.

On top of that, it's a realtime system, none of this get it done when I want to, its get it done by this dead line, or people DIE!
Ew, clear text crap

Well, if they use RFID tags, I guess its time to start selling lead or tinfoil lined wallets, so people can scan you anywhere you go.
This is going to be my second time attending Quakecon.
