I'd think they'd prefer notoriety under an alias, e.g. "The drinkypoo Bandit" rather than a real name unless they could obtain attribution knowing there wasn't enough evidence to convict.
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.
I don't know where you get this from. I have seen many computers where it doesn't run, or it fails to run well. For a game with quite simplistic graphics, it sure does take a powerful machine to run it. Sure it runs on Linux, OSX, and Windows, but it requires quite a lot of resources on any of those machines.
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.
RAND_egd() goes in the trashbin along with all the other buggy ancient OS crap.
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...
The man in question had actually finished serving his sentence of 44 months (less than 4 years) and been released from prison.
That said, after reading what this moron actually posted on Facebook, I am glad he spent his time in prison, even if the Judge gave the jury 'poor' instructions.
He certainly sounds like the kind of angry idiot that was (and probably still is) dangerous.
This also isn't a win for him, yet... It's getting remanded back to the appeals court (and possibly, eventually back to the trial court), and so his fight isn't over. On retrial, a jury could still convict him by finding that he actually did intend to threaten his ex when he sent her a facebook post saying that her restraining order wouldn't protect her from a bullet, rather than just that a reasonable person would interpret it to be a threat.
Ignorance of the law is an excuse?
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.
Everyone time I hear of a reboot it's "we'll take the original and make it grittier"
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.
Star Wars is pure fantasy.
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.
Because remaking the same IP year after year is taking risks.
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...
I don't know who started that practice, but it should stop.
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.
If that was truly the case, they could have filed the provisional, and then not followed on with the full filing.
If they did that, the provisional application would never be published or open to public inspection, so it would be useless to prevent a troll from getting a patent on the same technology.
Or they could have made an announcement that they were simply preventing future lawsuits.
Looking at the people here calling for blood, do you think such an announcement would be taken without a grain of salt? There's nothing binding in an announcement.
Or they could have filed in the name of the actual inventors (which would be far more defensible in court than what they did)... you get the point.
They did file in the name of the actual inventors. If you click the links, they're by John Resig and Joel Burget.
