The problem here is that mining these days requires custom ASICs made to compute the double SHA-256 used by Bitcoin as the proof of work, CPUs and GPUs just don't cut it. ghash.io is the pool attached to the larger manufacturer of them, and as its always more profitable to mine using your ASICs than sell them, you can't just buy a bunch for anywhere near the cost price and mine yourself.
Solving this will require someone to make and sell the mining hardware at near the cost price instead of using it themselves. They may lose a bit of profit but in the long run the network will be better off.
For games with a single player component that stops working when the internet/sony is down it sucks, but for MMOs the whole point of game you 'own' is to play on their service. Compare it not to a single player game but more someone who buys say a mobile phone without a service. yes you own a nice shiny toy, but its pointless without the service that goes with it.
It's not the iPad you need to fool, but rather the server serving up the content. Which you could do, by connecting the two though the household, but it would probably be quite slow.
This, if you follow Ghostcrawlers posts on the WOW forums its clear that combat data from dungeons/raids is saved and mined for tuning/balance purposes. Especially the really hard stuff that not many groups attempt. Client side damage meters get pretty much the same data from the combat log sent to the game.
You can use a generic flash video player and feed it the same H264 video you asked HTML5 to play. If you want it to work in older flash versions that only support.flv video then you will need another encode.
Very few of the unlockable/craftable/buyable items are universally considered a direct upgrade on what they replace, and of those that are almost all of them are unlockable by achievements (wangler, equaliser, axtinguisher, etc). The achievement milestones are easy to get, and the achievements required are designed to make sure you know how to play the game (While there are some uberskill and grind ones in there, you don't need those to unlock items).
The only item I have seen consistently equipped that's not achievement based is the Sniper's Tribalman's Shiv. It's not a huge upgrade but you will need a couple of random drops to craft it.
I like the self-checkouts and find them quicker, but there are a few rules
1) Nothing age limited or in a security case that requires staff interaction anyway, just queue for the human when buying booze.
2) Unpackaged fruit or anything you have to weigh is a bit hit and miss.
3) Please please please understand the simple concept of showing the scanner the barcode, reverently placing the item in the dead centre of the scanner/scales platform thing and saying a prayer will not make it scan. I have seen far too may people fail to understand this, despite presumably having spent their entire lives watching the human operators do it. Ditto when its moaning at you to put the item in the bagging area, leaving it in your buggy/handbag/in another bag on the floor won't work.
I think the evercookie page gives you a new id every time you hit it. I did a simple open chrome -> hit page -> close -> repeat and only the pngData was the same across the two pages. A better test may be needed.
Because as it turned out winning the console war was a software/online services/developers war, not a hardware/games one. Something that Sony and Nintendo didn't seem to get until it was too late.
While yes you can set up your profile or page with a URL so it can be accessed at e.g. facebook.com/joe.bloggs Logins are done using email addresses, which have never been displayed publicly by default.
Which is why eglibc is LGPL, which is designed for this case and allows your C program to do that without itself being GPLed. Were eglibc GPL like wordpress is, your C program would also have to by GPL if it used the library.
Actually that achievement is probably there as a breadcrumb for people who know about the achievement system but not that there are barber shops, as IIRC they were added to WOW after the achievement system and players who don't go through the patch notes or visit WOW websites might not have known.Blizzard have said a few times that one of the aims of achievements was to encourage people to try other aspects of the game they might not have otherwise.
If they do have a darkside in WOW its being required to have the achievement for completing a raid in order to ever be invited into a group doing it. (But this led to an interface addon that lets players lie about the achievements they have....)
Nope, they can record the MAC of my access point and pin that to a location, but they can't access that MAC from the browser, so can't connect my web session and access point together. (unless they say, ooh write a web browser that contains a javascript function to get the access point's MAC from the OS).
Watch the youtube video, they have the software running on Vista work on widgets drawn in a OSX remote desktop, this can totally handle you moving windows around/changing screen resolution. I would be more worried if it can work on loads of different Gnome GTK themes, as the widgets will be less consistent.
Actually, if the patent is about the way one segment lights up to show which controller it is (and which bit of a splitscreen setup you are), thats something that is really useful and I have not seen in a controller before the 360 one. I wouldn't mind if they had a patent on that (though the Wii does something similar with the 4 blue leds at the bottom of each remote, so maybe not)
Ok, when I view the whole story its in arial, but if I click on the link to my comment, the page is in my default sans-serif font..
On the other point, I know there are myriad ways of adding your own CSS to a page, I just simply want to kill every occurrence of arial on the interwebs, some regex on every bit of incoming CSS should do it
Which is arial for me and anyone that has it installed, regardless of your browsers default choice (Calibri here) . If you are getting Helvetica you are probably using a mac.
Brings up a interesting point, is there an addon/other way to make Firefox not use arial even if its installed and the page explicitly requests it?
Maybe, but we can only hope the user will use the menu to select import photos or invoke the phones bloated windows software package instead of autoplaying.
Anyway, even if the user runs the autoplay, it will still need to pop a UAC prompt to do anything nasty (well install itself as part of a botnet, oh for the old days when viruses just deleted your files and popped up a dialogue saying ha ha, no UAC needed there).

On a desktop/laptop I would trade 1G of space any day of the week to have whatever random input things I plug in just work...

So like an optical mouse for ships?
Pretty sure its an absolute Ghz record, not one relative to the chips nominal speed.
Here in the UK the TV I got 8 months ago happily plays mkvs off USB drives. I would assume its quite standard in set top boxes as well?

You can't do cross domain xhttprequests, so you can't do it via AJAX.

Says in the video description, the mac is upside down and the screen rotated by the video driver.

Yes it is, but spiders in my bathroom is a more specific declaration and so will override the spiders in my house clause.
