And also, not the definition that most people learned decades ago. The whole concept of a concept of a Trojan is of course an innocuous piece of software masquerading as something useful that is invited into a system only then to unleash a nasty payload. If during the Trojan War, the horse had been hidden, that would have been a much cleverer attack. I guess the reporter didn't see the connection between Trojan and Trojan Horse. Also not all trojans allow access to the computer. Some just get in there to FSU.
Go for it and don't worry. If you make money on the game and someone notices, you might need to share the profits. Given the description of the game, that might be fair in this context. On the other hand, if you don't make any money, no-one is going to bother you with anything other than a cease and desist. Either of these scenarios will make your game more popular. See Streisand effect for details.
Ah, so one needs to be in that sweet spot between about 2 pints and 4 pints to be able to do a job effectively. I'm more proud than ever to be British.
Now if only Apple started up Applemail, every publicist and me-too ignoramus could suddenly look cool amongst their peers. Think how said people would pay for and Apple email address. You know, I'm only half joking...
If it wasn't for those shaky-camera, Spock-holding-on-to-console, Kirk-clinging-to-his-armchair moments when the Enterprise was being spanked by some Klingon warbird, we probably wouldn't have had any of this.
the cameraman isn't unable to keep the camera still (either through circumstances or through incompetence), he's quite obviously moving it around to make it look like that.
It's the BBC. The cameraman probably had a few too many pints for breakfast.
Madden 07 and 08 are included in the shutdown... but Madden 09 on all consoles as well?
How else can they make you buy their shovelware every year?
As an aside, yesterday I bought a used copy of FIFA 08 for 98 pence from a high street retailer. Not being a particular fan of football games, this is about as much as I was willing to pay and no different from spending fifty times that for this year's iteration.
I don't know, I have quite a few doctor friends and I've never seen them play "IT Geek". But then, I've never seen a dog stepping in human shit either.
MRSA first surfaced in Japan, where antibiotic (ABX) treatment of anything, was over prescribed, and thus developed there.
Maybe work ethic is also a factor in this over-prescription. Doctors in Japan understand that employees are under pressure to work even if they are ill and feel obliged to use their paid holiday for any time they actually have to take off through illness. My girlfriend's brother believes that if he takes sick days off, he will miss out on promotion. This means that he'll take anything to stay concious enough to sit at his desk. Even if his productive output is zero.
In Europe, taking sick days when you need to is completely ok from a cultural perspective. You recover faster and reduce the spread of illness to your colleagues. Just don't take the piss.
What's it like in the US? I imagine somewhere in between Europe and Japan.

So it's true that if you you pay peanuts...

Who needs military to control the government when you've got cash?

He probably just thinks that because of his Retarded Position
Damn you Star Trek! *shakes fist*

Or you plan to work in finance IT.
Oh dear. 90% of the people reading this are probably at work.

And the added tax makes the product more expensive and less attractive to buy. Vicious cycle maybe.
Drinking your own pee has always been free.
Good idea and hurry the hell up with that next shipment of Spice.
Exactly. They're open in places that are other people's primary business. They only want to prevent competitors having a monopolies, not themselves.
Maybe you're making it too easy for them? :)
Yeah. I'd like a copy of the assets of those assets.
Mmmmm... yeah. I'm gonna have to go ahead and ask you to come in on Memorial Day. That would be great.
Maybe it's the 'youge' western games rather than the console itself.
I drive on British roads you insensitive clod!
And this is different from IT how? Only joking...
Yeah, especially if you have one of these over-priced badboys
