Comment Discount on the full version (Score 1) 313

I could see this working if the price paid for the PDLC could be applied towards the full version, but as many others have noted this is probably a pay-for-beta or nickel-and-dime scheme. Even if it's not, players are going to feel cheated, not try the demo, and not buy the game. Good job, EA

Music By Natural Selection 164

maccallr writes "The DarwinTunes experiment needs you! Using an evolutionary algorithm and the ears of you the general public, we've been evolving a four bar loop that started out as pretty dismal primordial auditory soup and now after >27k ratings and 200 generations is sounding pretty good. Given that the only ingredients are sine waves, we're impressed. We got some coverage in the New Scientist CultureLab blog but now things have gone quiet and we'd really appreciate some Slashdotter idle time. We recently upped the maximum 'genome size' and we think that the music is already benefiting from the change."

Tor does not let you pick your exit node, and even if you could, you would have to know which ISPs are subscribers, and even if you did, you would have to compare your exit node's IP to ranges in the subscribing ISPs. The point is moot - it's going to be difficult to get to espn360.com, and no one's going to jump through hoops to get it (calling their non-subscribing ISP and whatnot). Once again, big media proves their ineptitude.
