I'd say that Quake (and all other FPS games) would fit the bill.
Interacting isn't just talking. Shoving a rocket up your nose (Q3Arena) or a mortar round down your pants (Tribes2) is interacting. It's just not all that polite.:)
He also maintains that no search warrant was needed because the FBI lacks jurisdiction in Russia.
Pardon me for being clueless... but if you don't have jurisdiction there... then you have NO legal right to do that, meaning you BROKE THE LAW. Just because it's another country doesn't whitewash it!
I've been on the mailing lists for a long time now, been with BB since pre 1.2, if I remember right. It really does a great job without annoying extra bloat, even if it does page me at 3 AM because Cold Fusion on NT has choked on another chicken bone.:)
Another great thing about it is the extensibility - if you can write a simple shell script, you can make a custom test. Or perl, or C, or whatever tickles your fancy. Or just download a premade contributed extension from www.deadcat.net.
Finally, the authors, Robert-Andre and Sean, are also probably the most approachable guys I've ever met on a mailing list.
But yeah - it's not really anything to do with webhosting control panels.:)
As I read somewhere yesterday, this is basically a squabble about if electronic publication rights were implicit or not in freelance contracts, for a short period where they were not explicitly mentioned.
So no, you're not going to find publishers calling it piracy, because they do believe they have every right to be doing this.
Sarcasm aside, Canada isn't geographically positioned very well to do launches.
The closer your launch site is to the equator, the more of a boost you get from the rotation of the earth, meaning you can launch a bigger payload on the same device. This is why the ESA generally launches out of Africa - not Europe.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I'm just a netadmin, not a rocket scientist.
I also suspect that this will go much the way of support for Alphas has... the first version or two will support non-Win2K, tying companies into support agreements they can't get out of. Then once they're bound, make the new version Win2K+X only. Watch ASP's convert against their will.
The best analogy/explanation/justification I've come up with for overclocking and case modding (props to http://www.virtualhideout.net and their case gallery) is the 50's hotrod.
Just like with hotrods, the joy is also in the DOING, not just the end results. Tinkering with your (carburator|front side bus) for that extra performance... installing a (airscoop|blowhole fan) for extra airflow... decorating it with (racing stripes|neon glowtubes). It's all fun!
And strangely enough, people in automobile-mad North America accept it really well once the hotrod analogy is explained to them.:)
Seriously, I view this program as a net Good Thing (I'm not going to comment on the business model). This will bring unsecured file shares to more prominent attention, at the expense of some Clueless Users, and hopefully will finally result in this crap getting cleaned up.
Just the other week, some putz on tribalwar blamed "those damn hackers" when somebody plunked a virus/script into his open read/write C share, resulting in a "ALL YOUR COMPUTER ARE BELONG TO US". Sorry, bud, you done screwed up first.
Regarding @home users - in my area (Vancouver, BC), they blocked that port YEARS ago. Pissed me off, too - I was foolishly using it for home to work transfers. I take from the comments this isn't standard among all the various regional @homes?
The uncertainty in the Mir splashdown date is actually posing a fair problem for me.
I like Mir a lot, and have always been impressed with its performance and long life, and I want to properly honor its passing. How to do, how to do..
Of course! A wake!
But you've got to schedule parties. You've got to order the vodka (unless you want crap vodka) and other assorted things. These changing dates are making my life hell!:)
Basically, when you say "we need to educate policy makers", that's roundaboutspeak for "we need to outlaw this". So no, it doesn't explicitly say it, but it's certainly implied.
The point of full disclosure is that the kiddies already talk to each other a lot, and schmooze with the actual skillful people - the ones that make the "exploit in a box" packages. Not talking openly and clearly, including an exploit so you can verify if your system is indeed secure or vulnerable, just means that the wite hats are hobbled - the black hats will still operate just fine.
If this is the International Space Station, shouldn't it be possible to end-run around Dan Goldin by getting these logs from one of the other space agencies? Russian, Canadian, ESA, etc?
On the one hand, I love the LotR, and have been looking forward to the movie greatly.
On the other hand, Tolkien Enterprises singlehandedly destroyed Iron Crown Enterprises, who made the MERP and Rolemaster RPG's. They did so by being absolute bastards, refusing any sort of reorganization plans, and doing evil things like calling ICE's bank and bullying them into holding all paychecks (without a court order, from another country!). Every other creditor was willing to play ball, but now we're without RMFRP (or will be very shortly).
I'll probably see it, but the thought of any of my admission money going to those bastards makes me nauseous.

It's way too slow (text entry and download/upload speeds) to have ANY chance of getting a First Post in. ;)
I just LOVE this line...

I'm watching a NasaTV stream as I'm surfing slashdot, and guess what they're doing?
They're debugging Yuri's Outlook setup. Looks like NT dropped a drive mapping to where Yuri's outlook .pst was, so it remade it's own.
Even in microgravity, email kills productivity and MS sucks. ;)

Repeat after me, until it gets through the tinfoil helmet.

GPS receivers are no more able to send back YOUR location as your Walkman is of telling the radio station that you've tuned in.

Yep. Napster sure made MP3.com's life hard. Oh, wait... wasn't that you?

Heaven forbid we exercise our imagination! My god, that's HIDEOUSLY DANGEROUS!
Tell me, do you claim D&D is satanic, too?
Actually, no, we think they're super idjits who can't find their ass with both hands and a map. ;)
Hmm... you say bad management has shafted the company. But your submit tag states you're an "Anonymous CTO".
Isn't CTO a management position? I certainly wouldn't call it a grunt.
Now VA Linux is being called "Linux", rather than Red Hat. I was getting tired of RH == Linux and vice versa!

Good lord, what WERE they thinking?
Part of it looks like a 50's Chevy. Part of it looks like a truck front-end. It makes old Volvos look rounded, when viewed from the front.
Maybe that's why it's wired up? To distract you from the fact you're driving a god-awful dog of a car?
360 degrees of longitude, 179 unique degrees of latitude (count 0, and omit 90 N and 90 S).
360 * 179 + 2 (N and S poles) = 64442
Not that many at all. And you can cut that to about 35% or so, given the amount of water thats covering the surface of the earth.

Fasinating... I used to work for a company that was with the worst offender (BCnet - that's the BC Government's networks).
Doesn't surprise me at all that they could be doing things MUCH more efficiently. There's so many groups politicking there, it's terrifying.
Heh... it's so overloaded now the fluid inside is becoming frothy. :)
