Reading the article, it seems that the servers belonged to EZTV, which explains it's long period of downtime (and it's owner throwing in the towel)

Also, it's nothing new. Welcome (back) to the 1970's.

Do bear in mind that they're planning to depreciate the XPCOM interface in a YEAR. In that time, there will be a LOT of revisions to WebExtension to bring the same functionality that XPCOM does.

Not really a vulnerability in Edge, per se. From the article: So just about anything that deals with files, and the opening of them for any reason, is vulnerable. Probably also FireFox and Chrome.

Wouldn't do a thing - There's a lot of interlocks and connections that need to be made and verified before voltage is applied.

No. Neptune's Pride is quite deliberate in how tasks are paced, and there is no pay 2 win available. Check out Bit-Tech's play series where they took a look at it: http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/pc/2010/08/14/neptune-s-pride-war-diary-1/1...

Doesn't create a cell network, it only allows you to connect to one other user also using the dongle with their phone (FCC Regulations prevent them from using it to make a mesh network). They do have plans to enable a remote device (without cell coverage) to connect to the cell network using...

And yet, there is separate men's and women's Chess leagues. In Chess' case, it's meant to encourage women to play and compete in a largely male-dominated realm. Sound familiar?

Sorry, but Microsoft is not behind in this particular race. They've been in it (and abandoned it) since 2006: http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/switched-on-the-gist-on-your-wrist/ Oh, and they weren't behind on tablets either.

Apparently the lenses they used are biconvex, and have a 40mm focal length. They're also available for $9.99 online (for a pair). Or you can buy the whole thing for $27.

The problem is that cars have to be so incredibly insulated from the outside world to block the noise of their own engines. So then important auditory information, like the noise of other vehicles is lost. And yes, electric vehicles DO make noise, it's just all tire and road noise, with the...

Cue the obvious response: Oh! Wow! You got my package! However did it get THERE? I sure would appreciate it if you could forward it on to me, and you can have 2 of them as a "finder's fee", right? :D

I wonder if it's related to this: http://indiestatik.com/2014/03/31/most-expensive-game-jam/

Extra Credits is awesome, has been running for a long time (It was part of Penny Arcade TV, but have split off into their own channel because the PA guys aren't doing their TV stuff anymore), and covers so much. I'd suggest going and looking through their backlog, as they've covered pretty much...

So it's a rip-off of the MK802-II, then: http://www.laptopmag.com/review/minipc/android-4.0-mini-pc-mk802-ii.aspx or perhaps the Rikomagic MK802-IV: http://www.rikomagic.co.uk/

Why? If the card doesn't support G-Sync, the monitor will just work like a normal monitor. You know, the way if a motherboard doesn't support CrossFireX, graphics cards still work in it. G-Sync will be another "Feature" to distinguish higher-end models.

And this is different to AMD's "Mantle" how? Oh yeah, that's right, this will still work with AMD cards, it just means that AMD has to optimize their drivers with the fully-compiled shader code, rather than working with the pre-compiled shader code.

Or you could just get Synthesia, which has been available since 2006, and is totally free. Add a projector and a midi keyboard (Both of which are supported, BTW) and you're done.

From the publisher's point of view (Which is what we were talking about here), they get exactly the same amount of money from lending as they do from second-hand sales. I.E. None. No you can't. Region restrictions still apply. Yes, you do. If they're not in your friends list (In fact, if...

Why on earth would it? If my friend is playing CoD:MW2 (For instance) and I'm playing BF4, why would EA/Activision care? Playing the SAME game simultaneously, yes, publishers would have a major problem with it, but (almost) nobody is proposing or asking for that. Okay, except that you have the...

You might not be able to do it with your Steam library, but you can do it with individual games purchased outside of Steam. And this is different from Steam how, exactly? Currently, you can't install a new game to Steam (Or any modern PC game these days) while offline. Yes, it is a decent...

They wouldn't. Which, of course, leads immediately to "You have to be online to share your library with someone". Which, of course, Valve don't want to even hint at right now, 'cause of the shitstorm that Microsoft got in over the same thing with the XBox One.

At the moment, Valve have (deliberately) not said how this interacts with offline mode. Chances are, the sharer going into offline mode will get the sharee booted out.

Yup, it's the entire library. So if your friend has borrowed CS:GO from your account, and you want to play Portal 2, they will get booted out of CS:GO. Despite the fact they're completely different games. So like the XBox One had, but about 20x worse.

Also not mentioned is how this will react with offline play. Will Steam have to do some kind of hourly/daily check-in? Will the borrower have to be online for hourly checkins while he is playing the borrowed game? 'cause that's the crap that the media leapt on and caused a huge stink about, and...

If you read up a little, you'll see that the "G4" (The PowerPC 7400, to use it's actual name, rather than Apple's marketing term for it) is 5 generations behind the PPEs in the Xenon/CELL processor. It's a matter of scale. You CAN create an emulator. However, the resulting code would run 500x...

Sorry, not quite. The original XBox was a Intel PIII Coppermine processor on an NVidia NForce motherboard, with a GeForce 3 GPU. This is why Linux was ported so quickly and easily to the original XBox, and how XBMC made the jump back from XBox only to Windows/Mac/Linux as it is now. The 360 has...

Yes. Because proprietary standards are so much better than the alternatives.

So it seems I'm the only one that's massively disappointed in this. No more sharing your library with friends No more playing your games on a friend's console No more playing games without having the disc in the drive Want to sell/lend/trade? Better give them the physical disc. What's that...

No kidding. "A Billion Points an hour" works out to 4629 points per frame (assuming 60FPS). That'd be enough for a face, perhaps, but nothing else.

Sonic games went downhill in a huge way when they tried to make them 3D. Sonic 3D Blast was the start, and things just got worse from there.

It would be very difficult to do - when manufacturers "Repair" a phone, they typically clone the contents onto a new phone (from the broken one), including the IEMI, and sent it back as a "New" phone, then use the good parts on the returned unit to make another "New" phone and change the IEMI to...

It's probably their instagram competitor.

It's fast, it's overclockable, it's expandable (with CrossFire), it's cheap... What's not to like?

Was just about to come here and post this. Or you can go to http://www.freemetrogame.com/ to be redirected to the correct page.

Slow, perhaps, but the price is coming down thanks in part to Kickstarter.

Really? Really?

It won't work anyway. During daylight hours, the flash would be indistinguishable from the sun, meaning it wouldn't fire. At night, the lag between the flash firing, the plate detecting it (and processing the incoming images to make sure it's not a headlight or the sun) and the built-in strobes...

...That should have the following image embedded (Why no editing posts?): http://www.amigahistory.co.uk/adverts/cd32_bb.jpg

Why am I reminded of the coup that Commodore/Amiga scored with their CD32 billboard?
