i recommend peer guardian for some huge lists of malicious IP's

the license part might just be the most offensive. there is truly patent IP hysteria going on. i doubt that they are going to renew this IP as an official product ever, so why be so evil to a thriving community. they shoulda hired these fellas, they probably know how to make a decent game.

this is serious bullshit. ive been a modder for years now and i know about fair use. the companies that hold the rights of the games i work on LOVE modding as it increases sales and replay value. Activision you are showing your corporate decay.

what ubi is really going to do is make it more convenient to play a "cracked" reloaded version rather than buy it. ive seen this before with spore and command and conquer red alert 3. those games ran better in the warez version, because the crackers eliminate the DRM.

you know the first thing i thought of when i saw this article was Ubisoft.LOL

You act like this is an unusual thing. I know that my brother attended work study and im sure he had to get his fingerprint card. Also anyone remotely working for the state has to get fingerprint clearance. what that means if you are clean record is the state has your fingerprints on file. And if you have a previous felony, you won't be approved for the job at all, because you won't get state clearance.

Dystopian, yes. Unusual for us in Arizona, no.

yes. and people are driven while modding, much like a gamer playing a favorite game. After you master a game you realize what it was missing and you want to change it. Or maybe make a different story/concept.

I mod Civilization 4 (Second Revolution mod) and i host a podcast on modding called ModCast.

There is a way already here: it is called game modding. Modding is almost as good as creating a new game, and doesn't cost the millions for dev or engine licensing.

Downside is you don't get paid.

right now i dont think it matters what you get a degree in. there aren't so many jobs to go out right now.

worst time ever to graduate id say. hopefully you can live on the college easy road for a bit longer

blind or shortsighted is the words i would have used to describe this corporate activity, but that would be inappropriate with the context.

bring on the cyborgs!!!!

this article was covered by SciAm too. I think that this is a first step in the right direction as far as innovation in the theory. i read that some of the theory used math from helium super-fluids.

It needs to be rigorously tested, and with the LHC seeming to be working, we will be able to start.
