Pics or it didn't happen. I can't find any images or video of this so-called hotspot. ABC has some video but it might as well be a 5 minute long promotion of the hotel with no mention of the event written in the article next to it. In the video a party promoter says something like "anything to get revenue into the hotel". I'm thinking this might just be a publicity stunt.
OR.... There's nothing quite like two dictators having a pissing match that ends in photoshopping one's opulence. To this day the Iranian's still haven't figured out how to do it realistically. Iraq 1, Iran -2.
Kudos to you as well. Restoring sanity is exactly what they do even if it's in a comedic way. It's sad these 2 particular shows have a better grasp on what is newsworthy than an entire news industry. I especially find it ghastly when news outlets try to make certain politicians into living demigods... or in Glen Beck's case... themselves. We need a revival of journalism in order to get rid of this sick culture of regurgitated and opinionated news via teleprompted zombie mouthpieces. I guess that's why I really love Stewart's show; because they actually do research for the public good like real journalists used to do.
That's because we're passionate and you're obviously NOT. Where would we be if Christopher Columbus said "Yeah I'm fine with the world being flat", or if JFK said "Before this decade is out we won't put a man on the moon because it's too far and the task too hard" or if John Carmack was content with 8 bit graphics.
We don't just want more speed. We want progress and at a fair price. Because these huge companies don't have adequate competition they're happy to stick us with higher bills and stagnant technology. It's obvious you don't understand technology so please put something against your head whose mechanics involve a firing pin and "make it so number 1".
I really like that idea. Using hot air is easy because there's plenty generated. It's how to use the cold air most efficiently that is the hardest thing to do. Very nice concept. I wouldn't mind reading an article on it. Have you posted the practical application to a blog or something like that?
1st off the mission statement is in corporate speak instead of a motto. The whole thing is just dumb. I must admit their new logo kicks butt compared to their old logo which was posted in CPU mag I read a while ago. I think that article was titled "Cyber-Terrorism: Fact or Fiction". As cool as the new logo is complete with MD5.... what the MD5 represents is seriously lame. Another mission statement? Seriously Maguire and passe'. A motto is definitely needed. Something like "All Your Base Are Belong to Us" is a recurring theme and one that does truly suit that organization. It's unprofessional but appropriate and does strike fear into any electronic enemy. Something of a professional equivalent is needed. I propose: "GATEKEEPERS". It's simple, professional, and somewhat mystic. When in defense; our branches of military are in effect supposed to be our "guardians". The same can be said for our electronic infrastructure. Offensive only when forced into defense. Block and punch.
This guy is a quack. The entire article sounds like the ramblings of a paranoid schizophrenic that has a bit of technical knowledge. He thought some random Chinese restaurant he had lunch in was actually a front for corporate espionage simply because they had "black duck eggs" on the menu. Seriously. That was his one and only reason. He goes on to accuse the Chinese of planting spies in oil companies and Google specifically. I hope he was actually quoted out of context or we've got some serious mental patients for "security experts".
Once you've downloaded the 017 mtx file (other two are patches):
Move the mtx files here: C:\Program Files\mektek.net\MTX\temp\games
Then open up the MTX program and do the Open File command.
That will FINALLY install the game.
In my opinion this whole freebie deal has too many steps to go through. The MTX program is a hunk of shit to begin with. Avoid using it as much as possible by downloading the torrents separately.
Here are the official files from mektek. You can skip the bullshit MTX program to download them. Get the torrents using your fav p2p program (bitcomet, utorrent, etc..)
Then launch MTX and choose Open File (*.mtx)
In order to play you will have to setup Port Forwarding rules if you have a router.
For TCP both inbound and outbound: 47624
For TCP and UDP both inbound and outbound: 2300-2400
Try both UPnP Enabled and UPnP Disabled on your router.
OK so why install this MTX program if it's just a P2P torrent app that works god awfully slow. I'd rather just have a torrent link and download with my own client. This is some SERIOUS BS. This is exactly what torrent programs are for, WTF over?
Sounds more like they have govt sub-contracts for terrain mapping technology. What if any info would it phone home? Unless you have packetized proof of what it's supposedly doing you're not helping and only speculating (which I can do about Nellie, Big Foot, and other stuff).
This is why I visit Slashdot. 1 guy has the balls to call out another who is a complete retard, semantically anyway, and he corrected the statement. Then another comes along to improve. You just can't find these kinds of minds among the general population. You two belong here, you so belong here.:)
The first guy doesn't belong here because that video was and still is all over the net. If you get that quote wrong you fail internet 101, let alone 103 which is a prerequisite to post on slashdot.
Most publications can stop print on old versions and create a new version. Even the bible was blessed with revisions. Besides who still uses books anyway? We have teh internetz for gratuitous reference material. Don't you know computers never lie?:P
lol well that's the crux of the problem right there. complete and utter incompetence from just about everyone involved in the making of that poor excuse for a movie.
The reason why Battlefield Earth deserved worst film of the decade was because it tried to be a serious film and fail Fail FAIL FIALED epiccccc fail. The premise wasn't bad, the execution is what killed it.
Seriously? RTFA. You don't know what a root DNS server does? Your posting privileges should be revoked. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt since most young people don't know how the original internet was hosted. There are these boxes called servers see, and they do these routy switchy things, which is how god was created, then light, then the internet, then porn, in that order.

They don't get enough credit for their innovation in which we all still receive the fruits of their labors in one way or another today. Everyone has their own list of games like this who grew up during that time. I wouldn't expect nor hope that all lists are like mine because it would mean there would be no competition then and no innovation.;)

On behalf of computer desks everywhere I take offense to that.

I'm sorry I seem to be missing a left analog stick ON MY PC. I have a much better input device called a MOUSE. Consoles can suck it.
I say we invade Iceland under an illegal carbon emissions pretext. They are obviously trying to import their toxic culture to the rest of the world.
