Masters of Orion used 'what ship is in the corner of page x'. With the recently-released Galactic Civilizations 2, they have completely disabled copy protection and they tell you so right up front. It's an interesting decision, we'll see how it works out, but it certainly relieves them of that copy protection burden.
Does anyone have any hard evidence that such 'sweat shop' farmers exist? I mean, I keep reading these articles, but it's all conjecture. Sure, there are guys in.cn selling gold, but is it really profitable enough to pay other people to do it?
And, it occurs to me, that if you have the hardware / software / net connection, you could run multiple farming sessions at the same time with a single person. (Perhaps this thought is evidence of the fact that I've spent less than twenty hours and zero dollars in MMOs...)
I think such lessons are things only learned by example. If you want to just walk in and try to hand them a new set of values... well, I believe there are a fair number of (Christian|Catholic) missionaries down there at this very moment....undermine their tribal identities...
To say nothing of the fact that if Apple's secret purpose was to start a switch to Windows, you'd think they'd have at least made it possible to, oh, I don't know, RUN WINDOWS on the Intel-based Macs easily, which isn't possible at this time?
Couldn't this be an intermediate step? Plus, they can get royalties from Microsoft when they release 'Windows Vista for Macintosh' with support for the hardware. That way they don't get stuck having to support BIOS and all that - they get to do it their way.
Perhaps that's age-weighted. When I was fourteen, I tested out to a 180 IQ, because the test assumed that I would get smarter before I was 'mature'. Turns out I didn't, not so much anyway, because ten years later I test out as 135.
but I don't think it is worth anyone's time to get upset over, since AOL is a dying company
Funny, I was saying the same thing about AOL in 1996 when they failed to make use of the native dial-up networking capability of Windows 95. Somehow, though, they've persisted. Like roaches they are.
You know, that's one thing I dislike about BF2 - when the round ends:
1) Everyone dies, so the log of the last few deaths goes away 2) Vehicles continue moving as they were, but take no damage from collisions, which can be amusing 3) Text chat ends immediately; voice soon after. So you can't type "GG" or whatnot.
In BF1942, you could type for a few seconds, anyway. I miss that.
But doesn't the ability to easily patch against exploits seem like a big mark against modders? They find another loophole, make some mods, and then M$ rolls out a new patch, pushing them back to the drawing board.
Yes, but since 'sex' is an accepted synonym for 'sexual intercourse', it can at times become ambiguous, i.e. 'studies show that sex has little to do with intelligence'. Gender is significantly less likely to be ambiguous. 'Opposite sex' is less ambiguous because it's a common phrase, but to a non-native English (American?) speaker, the translated image ight mindeed be one of back-to-back gyrations.
You probably don't want to date a geek girl; at least not in your discipline. Unless you're the submissive type. Or she is. Otherwise the competition will get in the way. Geeks make very harsh judgements about other geeks, in my experience.
What you have to remeber, though, is the difference between prime-time dramas and soaps is target audience. Soaps appeal to a different cross-section of women than prime-time. Prime time shows spend a lot of time trying to appeal to both men and women. Soaps make no such attempt.
I wonder if Suresec/ Neil Archibald pitched their services to Apple and got turned down?
Also, from TFA:
"In my experience -- which is also the experience of some of my peers -- Apple has been very slow to respond to reported security vulnerabilities. It expects security researchers to wait indefinitely to release the vulnerabilities and offers no incentive for them to do so," said Archibald.
So he's trying to make a living on discovering security holes and getting paid not to make them public? I'm okay with this practice, I suppose, but I get the feeling that he's trying to up the ante by generating some bad press for Apple. The whole things seems awful contrived.
But considering the rising cost of video games I'm wondering whether they're just milking as much cash out of the game as possible. I mean, for $60 I shouldn't expect to see ads in my games.
Okay, but what about ads in lieu of subscriptions? I'm okay with paying $60 for a game that I'll get a few hundred hours or more from, but I can't bring myself to pay $$ monthly on top of that. For a MMPOG I'd be happy to see an ad on my load screen if it reduced my subscription.
He's the head of security, not tech support. Until you've made your issues reproducable on a vanilla system, I'd have to suspect that your issues arise from a software conflict or configuration issue. You seem like a power user, surely you have lots of software that binds to your context menu and interfaces with Explorer.
Just a hint, you can run explorer and iexplore windows in their own processes. Here's one guide for it:

But please put IT in the middle of the building where there are no windows to burn our eyes. Thank you.

What about using the gravitational influence of a large object? I've read about that before, I'm no physicist but it seemed feasable at the time.
You ought to love this video... by Tripod.
Please tell me you didn't _just_ go and register that...
domain propagation is pretty fast these days.

Yeah, they'll eat that right up.

Oh, well, like your couch is any more ergonomically correct.

Don't forget Crossing Jordan, with a female lead.

...who will take away the back pain I get from spending all day in front of my computer playing fighting and sports games?
Don't forget: the performance of Real Life tends to degrade when you install other MMRPGs.
Please, this is no place for vulgarity.

Hey, wait a minute - I'm not trolling, I was just picking up where the '1234' joke left off.
Offtopic, yes; troll, no.
suck... suck... suck... suck...

Here's the important bit:
the males have enlarged pelvic fins and exceptionally large muscles that may be used to grasp the females during copulation
Why didn't this make it into the summary?
