I agree. I think a good compromise would be to ensure that anything that was a simulation or rendering was very obviously labeled as such, so that there would be absolutely no doubt in the viewer's mind.

I'm not sure there is a way for an end-user to revert to a previous version once a firmware update has been successfully applied. If it wasn't successful, you could use the firmware restore CD that came with the box, or create the CD to do

Just revert back to the backup you took right before you did the upgrade. You DID do a backup, didn't you? You HAVE tested that your backups are working, by doing a complete recovery with them, right? Right? ;) My personal philosophy is t

When I did my training (Canadian Air Force, in the early 90's), we only had to go through controlled hypoxia training that allowed us to experience high altitude sickness, and therefore (hopefully) recognize the symptoms of it so we could r

I can imagine that they'd understandably work to get their own site/etc up and running first as the priority, as a manual "hack". After all, it's the main page everyone would be going to for information on what's going on. After that, comi

Unless you have intimate knowledge of their network topology, and know the specifics of where those pinged IP's live in that topology, and what routes were used to provide DNS results, you can't say that it wasn't a routing issue. "Routing"

Why would you say that? Large networks have a ton of routers in them, and even a lot of switches provide routing functionality. I don't know the details of the environment, but even in smaller systems I've worked on there is a fair bit of

Never mind when you start adding fault-tolerance and failover setups/configs to the mix. It gets really complex really fast, and even the slightest lapse in attention to extreme detail can be disastrous and a nightmare to troubleshoot. For

Not true at all. We're currently in the beta testing phase of our game where you get to shoot mechs until they're dead. http://mwomercs.com Totally different than people.

If they're both in the same Congressional hearing, Bruce can ask them pointed questions which they would be compelled to answer. This means he could theoretically ask them questions that pertain to the lawsuit that they would then have to

One thing that most people don't realize is that a lot of the major record companies are in fact more manufacturing and distribution companies than anything. Here in Canada, EMI produces and delivers, via physical distribution, a huge numbe

Forgot to mention that the underlying concept was that it was more profitable, in the long run, to make a fan than it was to make a sale.

Back in the early days of the internet, I was the IT Manager at Nettwerk Records. We went out of our way to put complete, high quality MP3's of every song we owned the rights to online, for free, because we were willing to let the music st

On top of that, I have to wonder about the mindset of the protesters. If they protest, and cause an interruption or major inconvenience to me, then odds are I won't care what their cause is, I won't support them. That is no way for them t

I could just as easily say that those same mediocre minds are looking for rights where none exist. And I won't comment on the mindset it takes to move into a place that is controlled by an HOA in the first place. ;) Complaining about moron

BART is not under contract or obligation to provide you with cell phone service. They offered this as a convenience to their customers, nothing more. They are well within their right, in my opinion, to not provide it. Just because people

by nettdata 15y ago
Does it MEAN that, or simply imply it? I don't think it means that there is a requirement to provide the most convenient method available. Cel phone service isn't even classified as an essential service. Never mind internet access. They d

Am I the only one who doesn't see a problem with this? They provided a cel phone repeater as an amenity/courtesy to their passengers. It's not part of their charter to provide cel service. Their goal is to keep their passengers moving effi

Having upgraded to Lion Server on one of my boxes, I found that Postgres was indeed running. Or at least trying to run. It seems that the permissions weren't set properly on the conf file or data directories, so my log was filling up with

I agree completely, and if I implied otherwise, that wasn't my intent at all. I'm just trying to shed some light that it's not ALL of EA's games, as the headline of the article implies. There are tools and services in place to allow game te

If your car has 6 gears, why are you only using one? Again, it's all about the implementation. Some game teams opt to do their own storage of user information rather than rely on the remote service call to the centralized system. In some c

Having been an Online Architect brought in for a couple of major EA projects (other than this one) I can tell you that they have a very robust and secure centralized user account system available. The problem comes when you have so many dif

Do you code? How about you send me the source to your best known, commercial product, and then I'll reformat the source, call it a derivative work, and sell it. That's cool, right? Of course not. I see this as being not that different. W

And yet it should be the artist's choice on how THEIR work is used, regardless of how you, or 99.999% of the people feel. Personally, I find the overly-developed sense of self-entitlement to be way more unlikable than an artist's overly inf
