GoldenEye on N64 really was the first great multiplayer game. I never really liked alien and future stuff like with Doom and Quake and in them you just ran around like a maniac. GoldenEye has current weapons and great levels.

GoldenEye had tactical elements too, a lot of hidden tunnels and ways to get around, and the proximity mines meant you could get up on a spot with only one way in and defend from there.

It's a great game that made the local multiplayer absolutely fun. We used to go play it after school almost every day (until one of the parents - who was the only one with the game - banned us from spending so much time there).. Good times.

What are you talking about? Wendy's is all over Germany at least. Personally I don't like their burgers, and from McDonald's I only like cheeseburgers - otherwise I rather eat in a real restaurant.

What's wrong with "cartoons" like The Simpsons or Futurama?

Not really, most people just think they wont get any problems "just" as a part of a large group of people and think it's somehow justified because other people are doing it too. The usual teenage groupthink. But when you're hitting the likes of PayPal, Visa, Mastercard and government websites, well, problems will come.

Yes, there are other ways. But I'm a little bit surprised you are actually blaming them to offer users extra privacy...

You quoted what I said but you clearly did not understand it. I know about Flash cookies, user agent fingerprinting and all of those. The point is, it's a major victory for privacy if the most used browser on the planet will enable this. Yes, you can still use all kinds of trickery, but that's not the point.

You can go on and on about it, but what you're saying is like fire department is completely useless because they can only stop 99% of fires.

Sure, but that's far fetched from the ability that cookies and the likes of Google Analytics offer for marketers. It's stupid to say "this won't end it all" and think it's better to do nothing. Every bit helps, and this is huge step forward. Especially for normal and clueless users.

Beside, while maybe not relevant for the whole world, I'm currently living in Asia and every country I've been has heavy proxies for surfing. Squid everywhere, you basically cannot get your own ip. And because Asia as a region has billions of users and so few ip's, tracking by ip just doesn't work on individual basis.

I'm not sure whether you think it's cool they have it or are mocking it, but I'm quite impressed. However, I'm pretty sure Google has a similar position and a team. After all, they are huge companies.

As to where you go to school for that; often in computer technology, you don't go to school for a direct title. You get the basic understanding, maybe advance yourself in an area or two and have you own interests, then you get a title (and job) that suits that and your personal knowledge. Personally I never got any real knowledge in school about computers (but business and general things, yes) - I've always gone with what I know and what I've been interested at by my own merits.

Eh, there are already several great titles on Nintendo DS that I would like to have on PC. Even iPhone has its Angry Birds that I would like on PC too.

Yesterday the Playstation Phone was detailed. Sony Ericsson also already has a long history with mobile phones. Now, Nintendo might be in trouble here..

Paypal did the same to cryptome.org, however they later reactivated the account. However, now this is "official" announcement on their blog, so I'm not sure it will happen this time.

I guess leaking secrets and wrongdoing is all ok until it's about you or your country.

Yes. I don't know if it's related, but Namecheap is currently under attack too and I'm personally affected by it. You cannot currently make any changes to DNS records and the domains resolve slowly. That means tens of thousands of customers and businesses.

What does everyone suggest that they would do? Of course they will have to get the one that causes trouble for so many other customers. anyDNS was also being tolerable about it - they told wikileaks they will cease the service for them after 24 hours. During that time all it would had taken from Wikileaks was to change their nameserver records somewhere else. No domain has been taken down.

Yes, lets forget about laws and giving sentences that are in line with the crime. No matter how you want to spin it, spamming clearly isn't as big crime as rape, violence or killing someone.

In fact, screw sentences and court. Let's just kill anyone that breaks laws.

Microsoft kind of does oppose software patents. When have you seen them going after other companies if they don't provoke the legal fight first? They have also freed their patents to open and free-to-use patents organizations. The only cases where Microsoft has used their patents portfolio to fight against patent trolls is, well, when the patent troll has started going after MS first.

Ultimately, the whole software patent system is faulty. But currently, companies have to go by it and that means Microsoft has to register their patents too. Blame the system.
