That's why some antivirus companies deliberately change the names when reporting, from whatever the author wants it to be called (when they can tell.) They don't want to provide them notoriety under their chosen alias.

Minecraft does not demand a whole lot of CPU without complex mods, but it wants a whole lot of GPU and a whole lot of RAM. Only full-on gaming PCs (in households, anyway) tend to have both.

Minetest takes a lot less GPU and RAM, but takes a lot more CPU. You can run it on crappy intel integrated graphics that come with an Atom, but it will crater the Atom.

And if there is no such service, I'll just get another hobby. I hate ads that much.

I'm in favor of that, I just wish they'd had the balls to switch the names of headers etc. so that it could coexist peacefully next to openssl, because that's going to be the reality for a while. I've found patches for libressl compatibility for some applications, and rolled my own in a couple of cases, but what a PITA.

The one place minecraft is notably better than minetest is in the interface. Are there any mods for minetest that really help that?

I don't know why it's news all of a sudden, we made a big deal out of it because a highly-voted submission on the subject was ignored, then another one, then another one... the first one was before the weekend...

No, you don't have to know what the law says, only that you're trying to do something bad or with negative consequences for someone else that turns out to be illegal.

Actually, Tron is the one place where that might actually make sense. All their technology is vector-based, right? What if they got infected by a bitmap virus? You could have some really bitchin' visuals.

I would argue that Star Wars is scifi, commonly pronounced "skiffy" amongst the nerdiest of nerds, because it attempts to have scientific explanations for things — but they are crap.

That's the sad part. Compared to what Hollywood typically does, making Tron 3 is a risk even though it's basically printing money. They could split the soundtrack between two artists (give one of them the bad guys and the other one the good guys and make it a vs.) and a big portion of the fans of both would show up...

YMBNH: It's been happening since time was time. It's really only a problem because the subject is not shown directly above the comment, so when you C&P you get a header you have to excise. You are right, it should stop, but since the practice of doing it here is probably about as old as the subject line... give-u up.

The problem is that you don't want to give them notoriety. Some of them are in it just for that. Stupid, sure, but still true.

That's true, I shouldn't ascribe to malicious incompetence what may be due to simple incompetence.

How kind of Apple to publish a security advisory on the issue, like a reputable and scrupulous vendor would have done.
