...if the remake is a different genre than the original? Syndicate was no fps...

At the request of the Dutch government, Microsoft is delaying the update in the Netherlands (home of DigiNotar) until next week, to avoid confusion (and to buy the government more time to roll out new certs).

I feel much safer now, knowing our government has the power to stop Microsoft from rolling out security updates in a country.

Except... in the Netherlands, where DigiNotar is operating from. The government has demanded Microsoft in the Netherlands to delay the rollout of this patch, because it would cause too many problems for users, and because they need more time themselves to get all certificates replaced.

Dutch article about this, including a link to the preliminary report about DigiNotar, here: http://tweakers.net/nieuws/76587/overheid-dwingt-bij-microsoft-vertraagde-windows.html

Is this just a wearable 3D display? I mean, in the article i see no mention of any head-tracking sensors... Not sure how it would feel to *not* see the image change when i turn my head...

No power. That is supplied through, eh, a second cable.

Aruba. Their simplest controller already has the feature to take down networks, altough i'm not sure if it can do so automatically.

It *is* an option. They hide by default, but can be turned on permanently.

Yeah, but wasn't this the stuff that killed Cave Johnson?

I am not afiliated with them in any way, but have you tried www.ultimarc.com? They sell all kinds of controllers and interfaces for the DIY arcade cabinet. I only bought two sticks and a dozen of buttons from them for a cabinet i built for my employer's cantina at the time, so i have no experience on the spinners they sell, but perhaps it's worth checking out.
I still plan on building a home console (atom or i3 based) with a self-built retro-looking controller, for my kids to experience the games i played yesteryear.

You can use TM to get it back... And then what? Hope the mechanism that automatically updates the program doesn't kick in *this* time? Do you also rewind sports games, and hope that the goalie saves the ball this time?

The problem is that just about any non-Mac-user thinks he is that "someone".

True, but people consider it common basic functionality nowadays. I remember discussions with PS3 fanboys, who argued that their console included wifi "for free" (as if anything from Sony is free) where MS charged $$$ for a wifi dongle. I could not convince them that i was fine with my Xbox 360 not having wifi, so not paying for it either, because i hooked it up to my wired lan anyways. I bet 90% of the target audience doesn't even know that dvd playback requires the manufacturer to have a license to do so, let alone what it costs.

Didn't Microsoft do that with their first Xbox? Punters could enable dvd playback by purchasing the separate remote and IR receiver, which acted as a dongle to unlock the dvd playback facilities. The royalties for dvd playback were included in the price of the remote, not the console itself. However, many people blamed MS for just looking for an excuse to squeeze more money out of its customers, because the remote was a bit expensive. People might think the same if Nintendo would do the same, charging $10-$15 for a 10KB file that enables their console to do what every other bit of equipment with an optical drive could do since the dawn of time.

Most people use Windows anyway.

Steam features an offline mode. You only need to have been online once per game to be allowed to play it offline, i believe.

So, for once, Sony actually listens to what people want... and you're STILL complaining?
