Since I'm not from the US and we don't have 'levels' of math where I live (you take math in high school and get some or all of the above combined), can someone explain to me what each level entails? While I know the defi

Agreed, although I must say I was positively surprised that I could actually try out the game before having to sign up in the first place. More people should definitely do something like this.

It's kinda cute how Google is down for twenty seconds and there's already a thread on the front page with 40+ points and 15+ comments Edit: and it's up again already (at least for me). No more need to panic, people.

I feel inclined to agree. The same thing happened to MySpace, and (in the Netherlands) to Hyves. I'm sure there are more examples.

Not that there's anything wrong with board games - I agree with all the points you mentioned - but have you ever tried some of the text-based games on your netbook? There are a lot of them out there, most of them are free, and some are pret

Not only that, but MtGox handles over 80% of all bitcoin trade. No wonder it's plummeting; every currency would be greatly affected by something like that.

The ISO-8859-1 ASCII-based character encoding contains an Ö, too. That's not even Unicode. It may not be in the first seven bits of the ASCII alphabet, but it's so widely implemented that not supporting it is just as ridiculous as not suppo

I'm not very well-versed in economics, but would setting prices to a relatively non-changing BTC value not actually be a good thing to stabilize its value, if enough people were to do that?

That was what I was trying to ask: can you do both, or would that be absurdly impractical/impossible? Alternatively, can't they do only a POST and somehow generate URLs dynamically based on the search query?

Could they not set those parameters in a POST request so they don't show up in the URL?

"You would. But that doesn't mean that everyone would." Sure, but those things only need to be built once.

Quite possibly. I think we'd just call it 'automated plastic surgery', though.

I've done some reversing, and this is EA, so... let's say it's not going to be something that'll be cracked in a weekend.

Fair enough. When I'm looking for a keyboard, I always try to make sure that at least the keys are all in the right place and are of the right size. (For example, I should not be able to accidentally hit '\' because some hippo thought the r

I didn't mean any of that. I meant that DRM is the reason one would implement constant-onlineness into a game that should also (mostly, even) work as a single player game. My apologies if my use of the word 'issue' suggested something dif

There is a significant difference between wanting to do something locally and an internet connection being required and wanting to do something on the internet because it works better than what you have locally.

"I mean, besides the DRM." But that's the core issue, really.
