There is no option to log-on because the current site is a low-traffic fallback site to accomodate the number of users trying to change their password. The whole ubi.com consists of "Change your password" and three YouTube links right now.
The usual site will be up again in a few days, if you want to change your e-mail address, try again then.
This is how it should be done by the way: at least allowing 99% of users to change their password even when the site is getting hammered.
Visible-frequency wireless works by flickering all the lights in a room ever so slightly -- so slightly, in fact, that the human eye could never detect it.
The idea is to re-use your existing LED room lights to also transmit a data signal, *not* some completely new tech!
According to wikipedia, Bethesda bought all and every Fallout IP when Interplay was unable to continue development on their version of Fallout 3 and had to lay off their main (PC) team in 2003.
TFS says they still retained their right to sell the games they do not own any rights to anymore, as long as they get marketing and packaging approved bei Bethesda. So they can still make money with their old games as long as it doesn't interfere with Bethesda's new titles and gets their approval - that is a pretty good deal for a game studio that probably would have closed down if it weren't for Bethesda, don't you think?
And the scratching... that is just pathetic. I thought at first that it make a wall into a touch surface. Capable of detecting the POSITION. But no, this can just detect some sound.
Use two of those Mics to triangulate the position of your fingernail and you have your position tracking.
Just needs "some" tweaking of the software and a way of describing the relative position of the two mics (by a echo-like click sound on init maybe?).
This is not the only step towards lower energy consumption in the EU.
It was a solution for a small problem - nice to have but not essential. Still better than no improvement at all.
How das Vista take control from you?
Assuming you did the reasonable thing and created a non-admin user on your XP machine you'll actually have less problems with "control" than before - UAC is a change for the better if you're used to XP's rights management.
Hm, why don't you have a look at the E3 movies from one of the last years demonstrating the Spore beta?
They actually look good, and innovative, and I really thought about buying the game. Especially the part where speed of your creature is determined by a multitude of factors (positioning of the legs at the spinal cord, size of the legs, etc), instead of just "Legs Level 1" or "Legs Level 2".
Exactly. Steam is DRM like it should be - Digital Rights, not Restrictions. I bought every single Half-Life game not only because I thought they were great and the devs deserver their money, but because it was so easy to buy it with just a few clicks. Since then I reinstalled Steam about 10 times and really got used to the comfort of installing a game (and playing it while it was still installing!) without ever touching my DVDs.
But even Valve had to make some mistakes in the progress to get it right - one of the main reasons many of my friends still think of Steam as a stupid software choked down their necks when they "just wanted to play Counter-Strike".
But then again, they bought Spore, Crysis: Warhead etc without complaining.
Why do companies that really fuck up (EA) get their Games sold while other companies that protect their IP in a much more acceptable way - even with benefits for the customer - have to justify their choice?
Screw that, I'm back to playing Warhead. Pirated, ofc.;)
Wikipedia (MediaWiki) has a comparable feature already built in: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FlaggedRevs .
It is entirely possible to link to a specific flagged and confirmed version of your favorite page by selecting the current version in the version history, then using that link instead of the more generic wikipedia.org/wiki/Bla.
This doesn't prevent further editing of your uploaded content, but you will be able to quote the article you want, not the article it might have become.
They won't.

Yes, I RTFA. Won't happen again.
Remember - it's the reflected light that you see. Not the object itself.
These dark eye shaped spots would actually be on the back of your head, as the light coming from your front wouldn't be redirected (it would be absorbed by your eyes, cameras, whatever).
You'd still be invisible to anyone in front of you, which should be enough in most cases.
Using other people's wifi doesn't get you instant immunity, you're still liable for your own actions.
This ruling simply states that you can't be held responsible for *other people* downloading copyrighted material over your connection.
This is not taking into account how many of these will actually use US-based products, but I wouldn't be surprised if the market for e.g. Windows was splitted 50/50.

This is a technical article concerning MMOGs, using an anecdote from the most popular MMOG. What's wrong with that?
Don't blank out as soon as you see those three letters. Doesn't help you in the slightest.
Too bad there's no credible alternative to vista or vista 2nd release in sight for your average gaming-oriented PC.
Windows Server 2008. Free for 240 days before you have to reinstall / buy a license.
All in all they're just another brick in the wall.
That's more like it.

Yay for deadlines.
As long as the Ads fit into the game's atmosphere and style, that would be just fine with me.
So what Ads do you propose for WoW?

You can install Aero on Server 2008 with ~3 clicks with its Server Manager, FYI.
So what do they measure? Sequential transfer rates.

I guess most people here don't realize that, but in fact more people (nearly twice as many) live in the EU than in the US.
