Uh guys, you mention Braid all the time and it's time-reversal schtick... What about Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time? It's not as prevalent in the game but it was released many years beforehand.
Just putting that out there.
It's a fucking circus sideshow in the tags for this article.
./'s reaction has 'kneejerk' all over it. Fox News kneejerk.
Games have had in-game advertisements for YEARS and nothing bad has ever come from it. Some as blatant as in WipEout HD. Some games even paid the companies to advertise in the games - Guitar Hero and Rock Band jog your memory a bit?
Hell, if anything WipEout is a fantastic example. Ever since the first one came out on the PSX it was inundated with in-game advertisements for stuff like Red Bull and other Psygnosis games. This was before the internet was put on console games, now it's no different (only now the advertisements can change - OH NO THE WORLD'S GONNA END WE GOTTA PROTEST SONY BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT).
Calm the fuck down everyone.
...But we don't want to spend too much money.

What is this, some kind of joke?
Death Tools kill, not stink.
I've yet to see a router - enterprise, consumer or otherwise - that does enable that out-of-box and frankly it would be STUPID as SHIT to do that. But it does have it's uses.
My Tomato'd WRT54GL originally had outside web access via SSL as my roomie didn't have a laptop and he wanted to do work over at his girlfriend's place often. The ports were already ready to go for SSH and whatnot, just he left his Mac to go to sleep after 30 minutes or some such nonsense. He'd log in to the router, WOL, wait a minute, then he'd be ready to go. While we don't get metered for power usage (on-campus apartments, WOO!) it saved some power.
After he got his MBP and scrapped the iMac he never had a use for remote access but I never bothered to turn it off. Now that I found out about this worm I turned it off fast as Hell.
*sunglasses*
YEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH
Who else thought we were talking about THE BAND Tool?
Wait, I'm confused. Wasn't Tron 2.0 considered the sequel to the first movie?
