They are hot-plugable on any system if you want to risk killing your ps/2 controller. As the poster right above you pointed out Wikipedia PS/2. Having said that I hot-plug them all the time and have only killed a couple ports. Those that do die I grab a USB keyboard and voila they are back up and running.

Hopefully not as that will destroy the whole point of the internet. If we are in NAT behind NAT we can no longer have a true peer to peer internet. It will become a publishers dream and the freedom folks nightmare. :( Regardless of what OS your running on I would imagine that the easiest way to continue the way we have been is for there to be home routers that work in IPV6 on the net but IPV4 in the LAN. Not being a network guru I'm not sure how easy that would be to make.

No, time for an IT organization that peer reviews work habits and puts the info publicly available so that employers know what they are getting. It would also help to have an organization like that to backup why the it managers need 3 employees instead of the 1 that upper management think they should get. They would have a body of standards behind them.

If that happened due to a simple power outage then the server wasn't built right. I have 10 servers running a variety of MS Server os's. 2K-2K8, We have really crappy power here and have outages that outlast our UPS's all the time. I have never had to rebuild anything when my servers power down, they all power gracefully off and then back on.

Amid Controversy, EA Pulls Taliban From Medal of Honor Multiplayer 495

Last month we discussed news that upcoming shooter Medal of Honor would allow players to take the role of Taliban forces in multiplayer games, causing no small amount of consternation among political groups and military supporters. Now, Electronic Arts and developer Danger Close have bowed to pressure and announced that the Taliban side would simply be referred to as "opposing force." Quoting executive producer Greg Goodrich: "The majority of this feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. For this, the Medal of Honor team is deeply appreciative. However, we have also received feedback from friends and families of fallen soldiers who have expressed concern over the inclusion of the Taliban in the multiplayer portion of our game. This is a very important voice to the Medal of Honor team. This is a voice that has earned the right to be listened to. It is a voice that we care deeply about. ... While this change should not directly affect gamers, as it does not fundamentally alter the gameplay, we are making this change for the men and women serving in the military and for the families of those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice — this franchise will never willfully disrespect, intentionally or otherwise, your memory and service."
