Omfg, I was waiting for a call (working at a tech-support call center), and right when I opened that and started laughing histerically, a call came in. Poor customer had no idea what the hell was going on... Me: "Uh.. *mute*HAHAHAHA*unmute* Thank... Thank you.. hehe.. for*mute*HAHAHAHAHA*unmute* calling... the... *mute*"...
I also like how you so vastly comprehend the nature of the word "sarcasm"; mainly directed toward criticizing the article. But then, of course, you already know much about "criticism". The only difference between you and me, is that your criticism is based on stupid assumptions, whereas mine are not.
No, I said games that are "Tagged" as educational. QuakeIIIArena is hardly ment to be an "Educational" game. I never said you couldn't learn anything from games. I just said that games that are designed to be educational, and marketed as such tend to turn people off. Or at least kids.
At York University in Toronto, they have a "Science Olympics" held annualy for High School students, in which one even is Robocode. It's mad fun. Hundreds of teams duking it out on a battle royale in hugh projection displays. You can't get any better than that. It's like a really, really, geeky LAN-party. Exept with all the bawls.
Eh, do I care? No. I have a brand-new nano. Cheating and stealing is what make "America" what it is today. Save your moral point-of-view for adorning history books.
I ran, the day it came out on the Apple store, to Future Shop to return the Shuffle that I still had 15 days of money-back guarantee for, and gave it back. I was hollering and yelling, and generally making the clerks very uncomfortable with my excessive ranting. They gave me the money back, and as I was about to walk away, they ask,
Clerk: "Sir, we need to know what the defect was. Uh... What was the actual symptom?"
Me: "... The defect? It shuffles music and has no screen. Later."
I proceeded to order it on-line and it just arrived today with my custom etching that says, "zomg?"
"Benchmark studies show that Dell sucks" Hahaha! Wooo... *Ahem*. ... *wipes tear off cheek*
It's a shame those ones didn't fly. Because they're damn humorous, if you ask me.
I'd love to see Dell's CEO open a magazine to see that ad on a page. Hehehe...
*wipes more tears and keeps laughing hysterically*
I only read the blurb, not the article, but as soon as I read that it authenticates with a remote server to see if it's been screwed around with... here's a thought,
Couldn't you just tweak it out to authenticate to a server you have inside your home network, and have that box running a process that listens for when the player tries to authenticate. Then it's just a matter of scanning what packets a legit player sends and receives. Get the server to only send it the packets the player likes.
Or even easier, and probably slightly more practical, disable the "feature" in the player that causes it to stop working if the player is hacked? So then it can receive all the "/kill" commands it wants, but it would just discard them?
It's not rocket science. Just a little common sense;
"Content Management System" => "A System that Manages Content"...
Since it's a web-application, you can safely assume that it's "A System that Manages Content on the Web". How do you present content through the web? I know! A "Website".
What's illegal about using P2P networks to share information you have a right to distribute? Always keep in mind that P2P isn't illegal, but sharing copyrighted material without permission to distribute it is.

If you're that into games, why don't you just get a dedicated game machine, e.g., PS2, Xbox, etc., for games and a Mac to do the rest of your stuff?
Try running 'Doom 3' or 'Unreal Tournament 2004' with max graphics enabled on a PC, (with a mouse and keyboard), and then try running it on an XBOX with a gamepad. Then tell me why we put up with Windows.
I'm assuming you were going for a (Score: +5, Funny), since I just tried it and it did work.:-P And I'm not spoofing as IE, either! Hurray for intercompatible websites! Standards rock!
All you have to do is press 'F12' to see the menu with the options to change between Mozilla/Opera/Internet Explorer. Anyone that uses a new browser would most-likely play around with all the options to get accustomed to the interface. It's not a menu that would go undetected. "Quick Preferences" is a bit attention grabbing as well.;-)
I thought Opera could render IE-only code properly, for the sake of convenience, but at the same time be standards compliant? I don't know, not sure. I just thought that was the case. Anyone care to share some knowledge?:-)

How can you make two, very significant, assertions based on one joke posted on the internet?
... And aye dont feal any more stupider.

are over-rated. Seriously. As soon as someone finds out a game is educational, it kinda loses its touch. Dunno, that's just me.
I think that was the joke. :-)
