Sounds like you're describing Parallel Kingdom. It is an MMORPG that uses the iPhone's GPS/location services to place the virtual world on top of the real world. There is an version Android too.
The game has sex (including incest), violence, cannibalism... It's pretty brutal... you're basically running a pinata-mill where one of the best ways to make money is to sell the offspring for cash.
Not every movie has that many commercials/trailers, and not every theatre in every city shows that many either, but go see a blockbuster movie in a big city... and actually count the ads and trailers before the movie.
It's not uncommon to see 7-8 30 second commercials, followed by 7-8 two minute trailers.
Since when is using a publicly available public key to encrypt a stream of data from an application and send it to a device considered "cracking?"
It may be a "public key", but the key was never pubically available before now. The public key was RSA encrypted... it was that encryption that was "cracked".
its resistance to stabbing has to be called into question
According to the article: "Liquid armor is much more stab resistant than conventional body armor. This capability is especially important for prison guards, who are most often attacked with handmade sharp weapons."
Viacom is trying to force Dish to carry the "Nicktoons" channel
I've been hoping that Dish would pickup Nicktoons for a long time. They show fan favorites like Invader Zim at least once a day and Rocko's Modern Life about three times every day. (but of course rate increases are never fun)
Games of yore had much less overall content than modern games, but they needed to have the same duration of playability.
With a game that consists of 3 or 4 levels each consisting of one screen of barrel lobbing monkeys course the game needs to be extremely difficult or else you will finish it in a few minutes.
But when a game has a humongous world spanning dozens of expansive maps it needs to be easier or the user will never see all of its content.
Speaking of Knoppixes for Fun: KnoppixMAME is a bootable arcade machine emulator with hardware detection and autoconfiguration. It works automatically on all modern and not-so-modern hardware, including gameports and joysticks. It is powered by Knoppix Debian GNU/Linux, X-MAME, and gxmame.
Really, how is this bad news for anyone who isn't trying to steal content?
For a lot of independant films (or just about any film that doesn't come from one of the major mega-corporate studios) the screeners are just about the only way that they get seen by the Academy members. So, this is really bad news for indpendant film makers whom have won a lot of awards in the past because screeners allowed more voters to actually see their films.
The accademy should (quietly) distribute watermarked copies - with individual watermarks - to the members
The problem is that it is very costly to make individualized discs rather than mass-produced copies. That would be fine if there were a handful of members, but AFAIK there are thousands of Academy members.
Whatever happened to IPv5? What was special about it?
Google is your friend.
What would be considered as IPv5 existed only as an experimental non-IP real time streaming protocol called ST2 described in RFC 1819. This protocol was abandoned in favor for RSVP.

Ever have one of those weeks? This has just not been the best couple of days for me or for Valve.
Yes, the source code that has been posted is the HL-2 source code.
Here is what we know:
1) Starting around 9/11 of this year, someone other than me was accessing my email account. This has been determined by looking at traffic on our email server versus my travel schedule.
2) Shortly afterwards my machine started acting weird (right-clicking on executables would crash explorer). I was unable to find a virus or trojan on my machine, I reformatted my hard drive, and reinstalled.
3) For the next week, there appears to have been suspicious activity on my webmail account.
4) Around 9/19 someone made a copy of the HL-2 source tree.
5) At some point, keystroke recorders got installed on several machines at Valve. Our speculation is that these were done via a buffer overflow in Outlook's preview pane. This recorder is apparently a customized version of RemoteAnywhere created to infect Valve (at least it hasn't been seen anywhere else, and isn't detected by normal virus scanning tools).
6) Periodically for the last year we've been the subject of a variety of denial of service attacks targetted at our webservers and at Steam. We don't know if these are related or independent.
Well, this sucks.
What I'd appreciate is the assistance of the community in tracking this down. I have a special email address for people to send information to, helpvalve@valvesoftware.com. If you have information about the denial of service attacks or the infiltration of our network, please send the details. There are some pretty obvious places to start with the posts and records in IRC, so if you can point us in the right direction, that would be great.
We at Valve have always thought of ourselves as being part of a community, and I can't imagine a better group of people to help us take care of these problems than this community.

How is this for little girls?
The PC version of this download is available now too. The cost is $1.99, which is less than the $2.50 that the Xbox 360 version costs.

If civilization collapses how are we going to get to/from the arctic?
Those aren't controller ports... those are memory card slots. There are no controller ports, because the controllers are wireless.
Why does it need to be in a bulky coat? How about just a piece of luggage or a duffle bag?
Travellers with luggage are always near other ltravellers with luggage and never looks suspicious.
Wtf is someone going to do with a laser that will take down a commercial airliner?
How about a laser-guided RPG/missle?

No, that's Star Trek that has Warp Speed. Star Wars only has light-speed travel.
(god, I'm such a geek)
When will it be available?
Where is it (or will it be) available?
How much will it cost to consumers?

You got it. You can download/install a Telnet/SSH client for just $9.99
But still no (real) sync yet.
The Sidekick II will include InteliSync. See the top feature listed at http://www.danger.com/consumers_hiptop2.php.
It will also be available for the original Sidekick around the same time.
there's a good chance Jar Jar will be a playable character
Your suspicions have been confirmed. For some reason he gets a special "double-jump" ability.
Alright, so what do I need to survive the next major asteroid impact of this magnatude? It sounds like most buildings won't be sufficient protection.
Do I need a cave to hide in? Should I go to a large body of water?

They are simply combining this with a way to keep track of trouble makers
