This has always been possible even in the Doom days. But you can only play with a group of people you know, and most want to play on the public servers. Extreme Example: imagine WoW with only 5 people on Saturdays...
This is really the point. You can't stop copyright infringement. You can't even make it hard. The TXX chip may not get cracked but cracked binary s will end up on the net anyway.
Nobody has been able to perform an analysis using previous theories to show that current physical understanding says it won't work. Yes they have, and unless there is some real magic in the universe his *own* calculations says it won't work (require truly enormous magnetic fields much larger than observed so far). If it would even get to within a few % of working with p B we would already see *much* larger yields with plain D2 plasmas. But we don't. So it needs magic.
Why yes we're ready to jump down the throats of peoples whose opinions are conceived in abject ignorance, but who insist on presenting their uneducated ignorant opinions as though it is not only equal to, but superior, to the opinions of those who have done actual science in the field. These are not the same type of opinion. Stop pretending that having this explained to you is somehow a form of censorship or a sign of just how unreasonable everyone else is. Care to quote some actual peer reviewed science?
I thought not.
Funny how the the "overwhelming scientific evidence" is never quoted, referenced or otherwise.
The words "intuitive" and 3d software don't belong together in my experience. What people really mean is "is it the same as the other 3d software I have used?". By no means is that limited to Maya or Max. In fact they are at the thin end of the examples of 3d software.
Personally I really like the non overlapping windows. The older dos based 3d software was similar as is real flow now (Blender in the NaN days was even weirder back then, but even faster than today).
Frankly I hope devs don't hand in the towel on UI design just to be defacto standard "intuitive". We have a long way to got before general software can really wear that label.
You never know with modding. I have decided its a random process, so i guess its my lucky day if i cared about karma that is (was expecting a redundant somewhere at least).
The reason is that this directly affects me. I am currently developing a game and need a codec/container for cut scenes. But the licensing on things like mpeg4 are crazy. Bink is not so bad but still expensive. I'm keeping an eye on Theora, but both stability and performance are not quite there yet. So for the last 2 weeks I have been writing my own codec based on BTPC/APT. So far so good but theres still a lot of work to go. Something like this that really is free would be great.
As it is we can't really say anything useful has been made free at all. This seems to have been missed by a few.
Title sums it up really. What about the fact that FLV is a container format and not a codec. Do we still get sued by On2 when we use VP6? What about the licenses requirements with the mpeg codecs. Without these codec how useful is a flash player because at least youtube won't work.
So then can you clear up the IP issues with On2 VP6 and mpeg codecs that are used in the players? Does "free" mean that we all have a unrecoverable license to use these codecs (that means all the patents that are claimed over these codecs as well) with flash? Or does free just mean Adobe part of the license fees are waived?
Example: can I use flash (mpeg/VP6) as the movie format without paying license fees in a commercial video game? Note that no GPL code could be used of course.
As I have asked elsewhere (without reply) what about patents, and codecs. The format is all nice and stuff but IIRC flash uses the VP6 & VP7 codecs from On2. On2 is not really all that open with its IP as the ffmpeg group found out (IIRC). Its like having a open avi format but you still have to pay for the codecs that we use.
Adobe IMO has a good reputation (ps and pdf). But there nothing about this i can find on the website. I really would like some more information about the IP issues. Without a clear statment about the IP involved it will be difficult to implement a true GPL 3 version at the least.
What about patents? And what is made public? Looks to me like the file formats, not the codecs. This is like a open avi *format* but you still have to pay up if you want mpeg/VC1 whatever content encoded in it. I can find nothing on the above on there site.
For example, most avionics now rely on GPS for navigation. If we turned off GPS for an hour at some random point in the future, at least two or three thousand people are going to die as airplanes across the United States go into the ground or into the side of various hills around the country. Total bullocks. Aircraft *may* have GPS *and* other navigation equipment on board (ie INS) but never *just* GPS. Even missiles (aka not man rated) never use just GPS but also have backup Inertial navigation systems. There are a hell of a lot of planes that don't even have GPS nav equipment (its not $100 turn right here type of GPS unit).
You turn off GPS for and hour and about the only thing that will happen with planes is that some pilots might just have something to do!!
The if information want to be free *signature* is just that. A F**king Signature.
Its a throw back to the constant drone on/. that downloads don't cost companies anything and all information wants to be free (aka RS). You know things like iTunes. The "it cost noting to distribute" mantra so why does the RIAA/evil corp want to charge for its crap.
Well its a load of bullocks, running a site that provides mp3 or other downloads does cost a *lot* of money. That is what the sig is about, not my home internet connection you freaking moron.

Yet most folk buy the game anyway....

I think a better question is.
Why is justice or federal law dependent on which state/Judge the law is applied?

I always thought the final battle was in the upper atmosphere, as the firefly side engines are used, not the rear "for space" engine.
But what about all the patents? mpeg-la licenses are not cheap. After 2010 IIRC you are even supose to pay for content encoded in AVC.
Trademark is the least of there problems.
I provide a free access point. Its not against my ISP rules. There are 2 "AC" using it right now.
Just because in your area the ISP are wankers does not mean they all are.
By not installing it ;)
Seriously, she likes the KDE games better anyway.
My wife is currently using slackware. I'm currently using slamd64 12.
Its all good.
I said why... that is PS and PDF. Its not that they provide good products but open standards. Thats what I meant.

Following your logic....Vista is really slow. Its written in C, so C must be a slow language right?
Its a direct reference to www.schneier.com comments on the matter.
Some banks here (Austria) provide a one time password list. You have to just that, take a list with you and cross out each one as you have used it.
My bank in NZ has a different policy. You are not permitted to use a public terminal with giving up liability protection.
But secure IM... please
Using a PIC or AVR?
After 20 years I doubt we would have even decided what programing language to use!
The speed of light is 300,000 km/s. So i think your figure on the solar wind velocity might just be off a tad.
