the MPAA, RIAA and other such scumbags getting in on this. Instead of catching real hackers, they go for the easy fish and arrest students and casual pirates.
Nowadays I don't have trust in any authoritative figure like this. They are usually backed by big corporations, that serve only corporate interests.
the next virtual reality. What I mean is, back in the late 80s-90s, virtual reality was thought to be the technology of the future. Now they are out of date and instead somewhat replaced with augmented reality.
Now with e-book readers, will they get replaced with the e-paper medium. With this flexible memory card and other technology such as the printable circuit board, I can see e-book readers becoming out of date.
ISPs provide users a service - to allow users access to the internet.
When you're paying a monthly fee to use that service, it should not matter how much or how little you use it. ISPs have no right to bitch and moan about high bandwidth users.
If they can't handle the stress, then get out of hte business
When I first heard that you could use skethup with l4d sdk, i was ecstatic. Finally I could use a a very easy-to-use 3d modeler program with a great sdk. But no.
After some pracise trying to import maps from sketchup to l4d, it became apparent that it wasn't as easy. I.e. You have to make sure that all meshes/models are grouped in a certain way. And if you're trying to export "odd" shapes (arches, 1/3 cylinder etc) the sdk would not display them properly.
So I find that it's much easier to build maps in the l4d sdk with brushes than it is to import them from sketchup.
On the other hand, UDK is out and it's friggin amazing
Big words coming from the same people that made people pay for a DLC that SHOULD have been in the game. Seriuosly, when have you heard of an RPG game that requires you to pay extra for a storage system
Winrar for the win, screw EA
Competition in WOW or any other point and click mmorpg is a JOKE. There is no skill involved. You just point click and hope your damage multiplier plays in your favour. All luck.
Now games that require actual skill and strategy like Street Fighter 4, Starcraft or DMC on DMD mode can be played competitively.
DRM solely exists to provide corporations more control over the products they sell. It in no way is beneficial to the average user.
So therefore the average users, or the people who provide the majority of votes, would never vote for DRM.
An Ada exception is when a routine gets in trouble and says 'Beam me up, Scotty'.
