You're aware that civilized people consider eugenics to be out of vogue, right?
Submission + - Are exclusive games GameStop's secret weapon?
An anonymous reader writes: It's one thing to try to muscle out the competition, but when you start to lock down the sales of certain games, consumers lose. This is how GameStop hopes to compete against the big box retailers.
Demo PS3 Units freeze on Purpose 363
AbsoluteZero writes "A Sony rep has claimed to Destructoid that demo PS3 units in kiosks across the country were built to freeze up on purpose. From the article: "We do that so that people won't play it all day long," he explained. "Specifically during Motorstorm, we made it freeze up a lot.""

Unfortunate that

Details on the PS3 Online Service 156
Eurogamer has details of Sony's online strategy for the PlayStation 3. Finally. The long article goes into the process by which you log into the service, some of the things you can expect to find online, the different aspects of user accounts, and finally some details about the PlayStation Store. From the article: "As to the content that will be available, Sony is still playing its cards close to its chest to some extent - but one thing the giant firm is clear on is that the PlayStation Store will grow to encompass more than just new game content and demos. Alongside the free and paid-for game content, the store will also play host to a wide range of new titles developed specifically for download (the first of which, fl0w, was shown off at TGS - dozens more PlayStation Store exclusive titles are being worked on around the world thanks to an initiative which Sony launched at GDC last year) - and as Ken Kutaragi revealed at TGS last month, it'll also be possible to buy PSone and PS2 classics you missed out on, as well as a selection of PSP games, from the PlayStation Store, and download them directly to your PS3." After all this time, it's nice just to know there is an online strategy.

Journal Journal: Sveasoft illegally uses OpenWRT 2
Ok I admit it, I have been lazy recently.
Not much had happened in the WRT scene in a while.
OpenWRT now has a great Web-Interface, DD-WRT got better on a daily basis while Sveasofts lost all its developers except James and the quality of their firmware releases declined even more.
Journal Journal: Freeman 1.04 released 1
The new version of Freeman (1.04) is now available for download!
Last time Sveasoft apparently had unintentionally released an unprotected binary on which Freeman 1.02 was based. This time Sveasoft didn't make the same mistake, the MAC protection had to be hacked and removed.
Kudos to the people responsible for that!
Journal Journal: Talisman hacked by unknown group - on mirrors now 3
It was bound to happen. After pissing of the entire open source community with their scam, it was only a matter of time until Sveasoft's latest baby - Talisman - would be hacked and made public.
Journal Journal: Alchemy 1.0 released to the public 5
Sorry for not updating this journal in a while. On April 21st, Sveasoft decided to drop work on Alchemy and release it to the public as it is. It is called final and it should be somewhat stable.
Also, after not releasing any source code to the subscribers for 5 months, they finally made the Alchemy sources available.
Both files will appear on the mirrors shortly.
Journal Journal: Tag-free Sveasoft Alchemy pre7a 11
Hello everybody,
thanks to two fellow suppliers I had the chance to make a tag-free version of Alchemy pre7a. You may notice the name change, apparently Sveasoft decided that having seven release candidates durin a feature freeze is a little embarassing.
This version, as always, has been tested before release. Please read the included text files for further information, post questions or comments in this forum thread
Journal Journal: Sveasoft sending DMCA notice to Google, Inc 8
Looks like James is doing everything he can to twist the truth. Check out this DMCA copyright violation notice he sent to Google, Inc.
I know it is dated October 2004 but I didn't hear/read about it until today. What's next?

Journal Journal: RC5a released, help by mirroring on P2P (ed2k) 3
Sorry for the delay, I had expected Sveasoft to release a public version soon so I didn't bother.
However they now claim that it is delayed due to "illegal" copies of Alchemy. Sounds to me like a really bad excuse but who cares, I hereby declare Alchemy 6 RC5a a public version
