I think directional EMP.

but that's just me

Dunno...DRM failure was predicted many years before that (remember back when the DMCA was just a proposed bill?).

When it was predicted isn't the important part...it is WHO did the predicting; the Palladium team.

then use a different approach...flag it for spam / mass advertising....with all those hyperlinks there...it can be viewed as attempting to do some form of SEO manipulation

Not to mention, WoW and CoD were released long before that patent "Worlds" was filed.

CoD (1st one) was 2003
CoD4:MW was 2007
MW2 was 2009
etc

WoW was 2004
And yes, there have been expansion-packs and such since then.

not a fan of activision/blizzard but I hope they win (and set some form of precedent) or something that leads to a decrease in patent-troll-ism

You sure it was CSIRO's innovation and not recycling of ideas that are otherwise trivial and done by someone else?

I second that also...now if it was emulating the inner workings as well (either via arduino or some other microcontroller or if it was truly 1337 and did working circuits with legos)...then it would be another story.

dunno about this.
I ran into an issue lately that only happens with OpenJDK (specifically OpenJDK's implementation of Java Webstart) which was only remedied by installing .....gawd...loathe to say it..."Oracle" Java and by removing OpenJDK.

u mean the RT-N16?

I have several of them (using DD-WRT and one I use to experiment with debwrt [derivative of openwrt]).
And I just got another one during the Newegg Black Friday sale.

sad but true.

I wish the Occupy group would add copyright fairuse reform to their agenda.
Shoot...isn't fair-use mentioned in the depths of the Constitution anyways?
In terms of fairuse, I'm in fair of a point-system like you have with drivers licenses; if you own the copyright and then abuse it with false takedowns or abusive takedowns of fairuse, you eventually forfeit that copyright and that copyright gets placed into the public domain.

btw, if you go to BLR's website, you can find Dirty Spaceman vid; yea...Lucy DID get a secret show cat.

then put the disc in a case and secure the case with the disc inside the computer.

so much for transparency, even if these allegations turn out to be false as the "tiff/bad blood" between him and wikileaks is not as "transparent" as they advocate their operation to aspire to on their website.

either way, it's interesting to see where this will lead...especially on a slow news day.

makes ya wonder if this will lead to an increase in sales of GPS jammers...or at the very least...tinfoil

Perhaps the lack of creativity and ambition is from the threat of lawsuits....patents, trademarks, and copyright.

if u do go the "audit" route.....use an independent auditor so it's not "rubber-stamped"

sadly, except if you "patch" AC2/Driver:SF

the irony is that the legit users have to resort to the pirated version to actually be able to play with less headaches or to be able to play at all.
that's when you know DRM has epically failed
