Maybe you should try. GH in now way helps you to learn the guitar, in fact I think it hinders me in trying to learn the real instrument, but the drumming should help - you've trained yourself to hit rhythms correctly it seems!

Tommy - are you actually a session musician or something?

I've been finding it hard to get into condemned 2. Not sure why, perhaps it's the "Seen it all before" thing.

It's feckin' slow though!

Just getting Tekken 5 - not sure if you can play that online or not

Heh! I haven't got any multiplayer games yet though! Thinking about getting Tekken 5 though.

Well, if they are willing to pay the asking price!

Actually it's sold. But the question still stands - do the admins allow you to sell stuff here?

I remember some countryside missions in Mafia. They were brilliant after spending so much time in New York. [/OT]

I could link to the source, but instead I'll link to the forum instead. Because I'm lazy. http://www.trickery.net/vb/showthread.php?t=48397

...the University of Washington has come up with an idea to prevent DDoS from botnets, utilizing a similar idea called 'Phalanx'. http://technology.newscientist.com/article/dn13753-to-defeat-a-malicious-botnet-build-a-friendly-one.html http://www.usenix.org/events/nsdi08/tech/full_papers/dixon/dixon_html/index.html Interesting read, and if it works has teh potential to offer a solution to one of the bnigger threats to the inter-operability of the internet, particularly since the demise of Bluefrog a couple of years back.

It seems he appears in GTA IV too: http://gamepolitics.com/2007/09/18/jack-thompson-says-gta-4-mission-target-is-him-threatens-to-block-release/

Bet it's not as shit as resident evil: extinction. I watched that last night with no illusions as to its quality. It delivered on its low expectations.

That's fab news! - Although the same actors haven't been signed yet. Hope they are.

Lol, good one. Fuck me, that first post really was low quality. Best delete it and forget all about it. Back to your point Ginger, the way they have talked about dealing with it is more straightforward if you have been to the site before and have an authentication token given by the server to the client, which would acti like a cookie. This would allow you to punch through the protective veil of mailboxes. First time connections seem to be dealt with the solving of a cryptographic puzzle - the more time the client spends solving it, the higher priority they get through the mailboxes, if I understand it correctly. Unfortunately, someone in the past in security came up with the word 'nonce' as an abbreviation of three words to describe 'number used once'. Rather amusingly, it has stuck and that article spends a good deal of time talking about nonces, general purpose nonces and random nonces.

Fixed.

Oki doke, I've just got hold of series 1-3. I hope it's good!

There's even a comment from Steve Meretzky!

One last thing - sometimes they do promotions with certain games, for instance, the last live code card I bought was a 12 month thing, but as it was the 'Halo' edition and I got an extra month free. You might well get some kind of GTA IV deal (you don't have to buy the game) as that's the next 'big' release.
