HI THERE INTERNET. Considering my last post was May 26, I'm sure that most people have removed this from their blog reader or, if they are living in 2004 and don't know what RSS is, have stopped checking it on a frequent basis.
Or, it still lives in their reader, like a hibernating, literate rodent, ready to fill their RSS feed with swears and references to poop.

Hi Everyone!
I need some help from you guys , the thing is the following...
I am thinking in writing my history assignment about something related to aviation. (It has to be around 6000 words )
Now, I don't really know what topic to talk about, should I choose 'The revolution of the 70s', and talk how the B747 and Concorde changed the way to travel... ie. faster, cheaper....OR .. 'the revolution of the economicly cheap Airbus'... Fly by wire, same cockpits, cheaper seats... OR 'The low cost airlines' Southwest and the way they changed they way to fly
So, I need a general topic and some subtopics (what to talk about) ... if you guys can jot some ideas it will be fantastic
Thanks a lot for your contributions,
Regards from Argentina,
Matt Vivaldi

Kathleen Hanna Doc Kickstarter Backers Haven't Gotten Their Rewards
The film was successfully funded three years ago, but some backers haven't gotten what they were promised. Director Sini Anderson explains why.
1. 2013 film The Punk Singer, a documentary about riot grrrl-era icon Kathleen Hanna, was successfully funded in 2011 on Kickstarter.
2. The film premiered at SXSW in March 2013, and was distributed by IFC Films.
3. But now, backers of the project say they have yet to receive rewards they were initially promised by director Sini Anderson when donating.
7. Back in August of 2013, Anderson apologized to backers for the then two-year wait. Anderson said that creating rewards was a lengthy process, and thanked backers for their patience.
8. In the past six months, backers have continued to ask for rewards.
The lot of initially promised rewards included things like access to the first five minutes of the finished film (a $50 pledge,) a poster signed by Hanna ($100), or tickets to a private NYC screening of the film ($500). The film is now currently streaming on Netflix.
9. According to Kickstarter's Terms of Use, although "it's not uncommon for [projects] to take longer than expected," creators are legally obligated to fulfill the rewards for their project.
10. But it's ultimately up to a project creator and their backers to figure things out. Kickstarter does not "evaluate a project's claims, resolve disputes, or offer refunds."
A spokesperson for Kickstarter declined to comment for this story.
11. On Wednesday, The Punk Singer director Anderson said that the rewards are the result of mistakes she made in planning out the film's funding.
"Because of the perceived success of the film right now, people think I have made a lot of money off of it," she said in a phone call to BuzzFeed. "I'm barely getting by right now."
Anderson used Kickstarter to fund the film's post-production, but most of the documentary's costs came out of pocket. "Even though rich people own this movie, rich people did not make this movie," she said.
According to Anderson, a first set of rewards went out to backers but she can't afford to print the next batch, which includes zines and posters.
As for the private screenings and sneak-peaks for The Punk Singer that were promised, she said she couldn't provide them because IFC owns the film at this point, not her.
1,238 people pledged on Kickstarter to help The Punk Singer become a reality. It's hard to pin down how many received the reward they selected. 94 people have commented on the project, and they haven't all mentioned disappointment.
The negative comments, Anderson added, don't accurately reflect the feelings of the majority of the film's backers. "Most backers actually," she said, "they just wanted me to make this film."
- Charlotte police will release video of Keith Lamont Scott's death today, the police chief says.
- Random sampling doesn't quite work like it used to, and that could be a big problem political polling.
- Police in Uganda blocked a pride parade, after the country's ethics minister warned such a demonstration would be illegal.

If you're still in the market for a rambler style home I have a few models that you can visit, a couple of them are currently for sale. They are all over the South metro including Lakeville and Farmington. Feel free to check out my website for some information on them.
Gail Strom
I'm just checking in to see how your plan is working out? I've been successfully helping buyers and sellers for over twenty years. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Happy New Year, Kevin
Well plenty of other agents have already responded but my opinion is that you should try to look for someone that specializes in each part of the Twin Cities.
Yes, there are plenty of Realtors that will say they can show you houses anywhere. That said, you would benefit by having an agent that really knows not only the cities but the neighborhoods. And you definitely would beneift by finding a Realtor that knows the pricing specific to a certain area. It's a buyers market and at the same time there are tons of over priced homes on the market. While many agents won't like the idea - there's actually nothing wrong with working with 1 Realtor that knows the northeast suburbs and another that knows the southeast.
Other things to look for:
- Someone with multiple references
- A full-time Realtor
- Somone you will like working with
I work, live and specialize on Dakota County (southeast) where I work at RE/MAX for one of the Top 10 teams in Minnesota.
Good luck,
Bill Wallace, firstname.lastname@example.com, 651-338-0355
You will have plenty of offers of agents to "refer" you to someone in Two Harbors. Most will just call a couple of agents up there and see who will agree to pay their referral fee. Not a bad deal, but be aware that they will be compensated for their efforts. A better approach might be to look around Two Harbors and find an agent that seems to know the area and do a fair amount of business there. You might look for an agent that is willing to colist the property with an agent in the twin cities so it has exposure in both the duluth and twin cities MLS's. If you aren't able to get a great handle on local agents from looking around at yard signs, etc.
Another approach might be to ask around - who do your neighbors, family, friends, co-workers recommend. Sometimes more importantly who do they not recommend, and why? No matter what you do choose a couple of agents to interview and choose the one whom you feel most comfortable with. Remember that age, years in the business, and brokerage size alone don't make you successful, what makes a successful agent is their results and their ability to keep their clients at ease throughout the difficult transaction ahead. Good Luck!!
I pesonally was born and raised in the NE suburbs of St Paul and have worked here my entire career. I service the whole East side of the suburbs, as well as the north and south sides. Please let me know if you would like some assistance in finding a home.
Cameron Piper
To simply answer your question, yes, an agent licensed any where in Minnesota/ located in the Twin Cities could sell your home in Two Harbors. The question would just be if you want an agent outside your area to do so. I have sold homes easily outside the Twins Cities area, but it takes an agent willing to do so to make a successful transaction, and to put time into an out of town listing. Your best bet would be to interview any agent you are interested to get an idea if they are up to the job.
As for the South Metro, I work with a couple of builders that offer Ramblers (one level living), and there are a few newer ramblers (preowned) on the market, it just depends on what price range you are looking to purchase/build a new home. I live in Farmington, and know all the developments well, but also work in the Northeast suburbs. If you have any questions about single level living, I would be more than happy to provide you with additional information and what is currently available. It also sounds like you would need to sell in order to buy, correct? If that is the case, I can have you speak with a professional lender to see what your best financial strategy should be in the sale of your current home and purchase of a new one. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you!
Jennifer Kirby- Broker
Adam Nemec KW realty
Agent with Keller Williams Preferred Realty out of Lakeville South and south eastern suburb of the cities, Yes, I could help you in the south eastern suburb of twin cities, I have a listing currently in farmington MN, also could show you around to what ever you would like to SEE. I could refer an agent to you in two harbors, also do you need to sell before you buy here??
please respond
Thanks Adam Nemec
Hope to here from you!!!

Lectora is an Electronic learning (elearning) development tool, also known as authoring software, developed by Trivantis Corporation. Lectora is used to create online training courses, assessments, and presentations. It is also used for the conversion of Microsoft PowerPoint presentations into elearning content.
Content developed with Lectora authoring software can be published to a variety of outputs such as HTML, Single File Executable, and CD-ROM.

Lectora also enables users to utilize an array of multi-media files to create more engaging content.
Key Features[edit]
Lectora provides single-click publishing to Web-ready dynamic HTML, CD, single file executable, SCORM, and AICC learning standards without the need for programming knowledge. Lectora includes an internal content management system that makes course creation easy for the average computer user.
Lectora enables users to create tests and surveys using any combination of true/false, multiple choice, matching, hot spot, drag and drop, essay, and short answer formats.
Lectora's Actions Palette enables users to create interactive learning objects using show and hide functionality, mouseovers, object visibility toggling, and more to engage learners with onscreen activities.

Dems' Farouk Shami Tries To Out-Nut GOP's Debra Medina
The gubernatorial primaries in Texas have featured one outrageous statement after other -- Texas should secede, 9/11 was an inside job, Kay Bailey Hutchison knew what she was getting into -- but we have a new contender for top prize.
Democratic candidate Farouk Shami met with the Houston Chronicle editorial board today, and he informed them that his hair-care company is about to come out with a hair-dryer that can reverse baldness.
Shami said -- while, we can only imagine, his political aides thanked the Lord that at least their checks were still clearing as the race was being pissed away -- that a "former NASA scientist" who works for him had come up with the technology.

Oh, and he no doubt said something about taxes, education, blah, blah, blah.
The Chron's politics blog quoted him:
"When someone's on the space shuttle and they get a cut, they don't heal," he said. "When someone's on a submarine and they get a cut they don't heal. NASA found that if you use near-infrared -- you know, light, infrared? -- infrared can heal a cut. Near-infrared can grow small veins, carrying blood suppy and oxygen. And if you have a small cut and you're exposed to infrared, you will heal in 40 to 50 percent of the time. . . . If you can grow veins on the hand for a cut, think about it for the hair."
Alas, he said, it wouldn't work on Bill White, who doesn't have enough follicles.
It's possible, of course, that (contrary to what most will no doubt think) -- Shami did not further marginalize himself as a nutty, fringe candidate. Maybe instead he boldly shifted the focus of the Democratic primary to totally different ground: Who can best help middle-aged men regain their mojo?
In which case, we believe, Bill White has only one choice. And we're sure we'll be seeing him donning the red suit and beard before long:

No matter what Carl Froch might go on to achieve in the remainder of his career - and only time will tell whether he can dominate the super-middleweight division as completely as Joe Calzaghe once did - he will always be able to reflect on the night he defeated Canada's Jean Pascal on points to win the WBC title with an evocative performance that prompted comparisons with those of some of the legendary middleweights and super-middleweights who have thrilled British crowds.
This thunderous confrontation between two hitherto undefeated fighters immediately rekindled memories of the night 18 years ago when Chris Eubank first shared a ring with Nigel Benn at the Birmingham NEC, and those epic struggles when Benn defeated Gerald McClellan on a night of savagery in London and when Eubank was twice subdued by Steve Collins in southern Ireland.
Froch had said he wanted superstardom, and now the boxing public will be well-nigh unanimous in its appreciation. A 7,000-strong Nottingham crowd provided the 31-year-old local hero with rapturous support and helped sustain him through some brutal exchanges, especially in the early rounds when Pascal's powerful hooks and overhand rights repeatedly landed flush on Froch's ribcage and jaw, making the Haitian-born Quebec policeman look every inch a potential winner. Quickly it became clear that the ability to absorb punishment would be as crucial to the outcome as any of the attacks being launched by both men.
Froch has never been floored, either as amateur or professional, but his resilience was tested as never before in the first six rounds, when boxing skills were sometimes forgotten as the torrid exchanges seemed to be as much about a ritual of machismo as any crafted strategy.
It was only in the second half of the fight, as Froch responded to the demands of his trainer, Robert McCracken, to concentrate more on his boxing skills that the home fighter began to establish any semblance of control, though it could also be argued that he had perhaps needed the earlier toe-to-toe warfare to begin to quell the fires of ambition burning in the 26-year-old Pascal.
The judges' scores of 118-110, 117-111 and 116-112 may have been flattering to Froch, but he performed with greater assurance in the later rounds and Pascal was honest enough to say in the immediate aftermath that he had been beaten by the better man.
Froch dedicated his victory to the memory of Catherine McCracken, the 60-year-old mother of his trainer, who had died in hospital on Saturday morning. Not wanting to upset his fighter, McCracken had kept the news secret until after the contest and said: "She would have been so very, very proud of him."
Froch added: "This win is everything I have wanted to achieve since I became a professional fighter. Pascal was tough, fast and dangerous. But we knew he would be, especially as he had never been beaten. He is class. But this is just the start for me. I want to dominate the division. I want to unify it and if Joe Calzaghe chooses to fight on, here I am. I am ready to fight him."
Fighting as a light-heavyweight in his last two outings against Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr, Calzaghe is approaching 37 and has yet to intimate whether he will fight again, although seeing this he might reason Froch is not the sort of opponent he needs at this stage of his career, no matter how appealing the showdown might be to a domestic audience.
"We haven't totally given up on the Calzaghe situation," said Froch's promoter, Mick Hennessy, "but first the WBC have said that Carl must defend against his mandatory challenger, who is the former world middleweight champion, Jermain Taylor. That has to be the next fight for both men.
"It will go to purse bids, and I am confident I can win it. The fight could go on here, but we are looking at Madison Square Garden as well. American audiences will see this performance by Carl and want to know if he can do it against one of their best fighters. Froch v Taylor can be a huge event on both sides of the Atlantic."

Ubisoft's DRM Servers Under Attack by Hackers
Server problems kept gamers from playing even single-player games for hours.
Following a span of a number of hours yesterday when owners of the PC version of Assassin's Creed 2 and Silent Hunter 5 couldn't play due to problems with Ubisoft's DRM authentication servers, the company now says the server problems were the result of hacker attacks -- attacks that are evidently still ongoing. As of this writing, Ubisoft's official Twitter account reports the DRM authentication servers are once again under attack, locking some gamers out of their perfectly legally owned games.
An earlier tweet on their account attributed yesterday's outage to hackers as well, saying "Servers were attacked which limited service from 2:30PM to 9:00PM Paris time [8:30AM to 3:00PM EST]." Now, a tweet that was posted about two hours (again, as of this writing) says that "Our servers are under attack again. Some gamers are experiencing trouble signing in. We're working on it and will keep you posted."
Yet another earlier tweet claimed that "95% of players were not affected" by yesterday's server outage, with only a "small group of players" receiving denial of service messages when trying to play Assassin' Creed 2 or Silent Hunter 5.
There's been a lot of anger from PC gamers over Ubisoft's new DRM system, which requires a constant online connection for authentication even while playing a single-player game like Assassin's Creed 2. Now with so many legal owners unable to play their legally-owned games because of a malfunctioning system to ward off pirates, one can only imagine those complaints are going to become a lot more heated.

Interesting...Posted: Mar 10, 2010 12:00AM PST by crossraine
it dose not work like that, being caught does not get your pc taken, you do not get arrested, it is a civil case not criminal.
I'm not sure if this was in reference to piracy or hacking (I'm pretty sure hacking) but the response is the same. Piracy and/or hacking are federal crimes that can range from misdemeanor to felony charges. There are also civil avenues that can be taken, but they are criminal offenses, people do get arrested, and some of them get time in prison/jail with fines attached to their judgement if found guilty. I don't know what movie you got that idea from (it certainly could not be a book) but it's just flat out false. So yeah... it does kinda work that way.
learn your laws
Good advice... Here ya go
Digital Mellennium Copyright Act: Actually makes the act of breaking DRM, whether the result is distributed or not, a crime as well as other things...
Family Entertainment and Copyright Act: For those pirates that distribute early copies of games before release. Up to 3 years in jail on first offense.
Title 17 and 18 of the U.S. Code (including the NET Act passed in 1997): Basically is the groundwork for all copyright law.
Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. § 1030): That one pretty much covers everything including the degree of the crime and sentencing.
You bought it - you deserve itPosted: Mar 09, 2010 12:00AM PST by Doomer_Porn
It's not like this DRM was a well kept secret. I hope that this affects all the moronic, short-sighted PC gamers whose stance was, "Well this DRM won't affect me. My internet is always on anyway..." who supported the DRM by buying this game.
It's not Ubisoft or Activision/IW who are ruining PC gaming, it's the gamers who support their DRM and $60 price tag (MW2) by buying these games. I'm not saying pirate them either. Not at all. Just don't buy these versions of games. If people didn't buy the PC versions of these games it might send a message. Everytime I see how high ranking MW2 is on Steam's top sellers it makes me ill. Well that and reminds me what a bunch of sheep that people are.
If you want to see more DRM like this and high price tags then keep buying the games that have them.
The Hackers r playin w/ their foodPosted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by coolbreeze70056
This is getting embarassing. Ubisoft is not getting the message. First Ubisoft throws out a public challenge to hackers of a intrusive, unbreakable DRM requiring a constant internet connection. On its first day of public implementation, hackers reverse engineer the DRM, crack it, and release a DRM free non-intrusive copy of the games. Ubisoft then lies about the DRM never being hacked, yet releases patch that reseals this unpenetrated DRM?! Now supposedly in response to the arrogance of not admitted their DRM was cracked and pirates are enjoying the games, hackers (according to Ubisoft) have hacked the servers altogether, and legal customers of their products can't install or play their games.
Chances are hackers aren't responsible for Ubisoft's server problems at all. This entire process has been Ubisoft using hackers as a scapegoat for all of their problems. If hackers can penetrate all of your companies defenses in a matter of 72 hours, then you should fire your entire network department. If the programming of your network defenses are that weak, why in the blue hell are you basing the DRM that is required for gameplay on servers based on that programming. These bonehead manuevers should cost most of upper management their jobs. Idiots...
FU USPosted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by SDMF_TrueBlue
That's seriously stupid. A constant online connection to play single-player games? FAIL.
why? WHY!??!Posted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by misterwindup
I was thinking about buying this game a few days ago on Steam, but I saw how draconian the DRM was and decided to pass. This validates my decision.
What the hell? It's not like this is the Macbeth of games, it doesn't need to be the most DRM'd game to date. Get a grip, Ubisoft. Isn't Steam DRM good enough??
Hah!Posted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by Skyrider
I hate to say it, but I support the hackers in pointing out so viscerally the glaring flaw in this DRM concept.
It's not the fact that they can hack it, it's that the DRM can stop you from playing at all when you've paid for it.
This is well beyond any measure to cut shrinkage from piracy and does more harm to the consumers than the pirates. So good on them for making Ubisoft feel it. There aren't any regulatory agencies that are doing so.
another downfall of DRMPosted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by Trup1aya4rea1
the fact that outside sources can determine when you can play your games is another reason this was a horrible idea. Its bad enough that big brother ubisoft has its eye on you ever time you load up, but if their hardware malfunctions or there's a malicious attack or they forget to pay their light bill, thousands of users are kept from their single player games. it makes no sense.

hahahah i love it. keep it up hackers.
No matter what happens, PC gamers lose.Posted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by Hobo_Knight
It really sucks that no matter what happens with the new Ubisoft DRM it's only going to get worse from here on out. It seems that PC developers (like movie and music studios) are always attributing poor sales to piracy before considering other causes (like you movie/CD/Game sucks). I'm not saying AC2 sucks, I have it on the 360 and it's one of my favorite games in a long time, but if AC2 PC sells poorly Ubi will likely blame pirates and use it as a reason to keep/step up their restrictive DRM.
This stinks, because the best way for us customers to speak to a company like Ubisoft is with our wallets, but if we boycott the PC version of AC2 over the DRM, they might just decide that it's selling poorly due to rampant piracy and use the sales numbers to justify more strict DRM. As a million other people have said, this sort of thing only hurts legit customers. Software companies also need to realize that not every pirated copy of a game is equal to one lost sale. Most people I know that pirate 5-10 games a month would likely only have the money to buy one game every month or two if piracy wasn't an option.
Funny....Posted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by carritohmc
I bet the pirates who got this game illegally can play it with less hassle than some legit buyers. There are alternatives to oppressive DRM, such as rewarding players who buy the game legit instead of punishing those that don't, I think a more sensible solution is somewhere in between. A lot of people don't seem to understand that by default we have certain rights to products we buy that have diminished over time, and that's what worries me.
Now is pirating destroying PC gaming? Probably, but I don't think pirating is doing anything to the game companies themselves(at least Ubisoft), think about this. Assasins Creed 2 already more than made up for it's initial cost with the console sales, so what we need to analyze is how much it took to port to PC, and how much it's made from legal sales, it'll probably end up being profitable by the end (an assumption), but I'm sure that Ubisoft is looking at the sheer number of pirating going on and counting that as lost sales, but would those pirates buy the game if no such pirating existed?
Ubisoft screwed up.Posted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by jcordgamer
Ubisoft thought process was to protect their investment rather than to think about the what ifs'. These "hackers" obviously exploited the DRM and Ubisoft is trying to figure out how to improve it. The problem is that no matter what improvements they make, it's not going to correct the overall issue. I highly doubt that the 5% number is near correct. I firmly believe that game companies have a right to protect their investments but it shouldn't be in a way that will affect legitimate buying gamers. Ubisoft did not test their new DRM before actually enacting it and now people are forced to suffer because of their lack of proper testing. Hacking in any manner is wrong IMO but this is the kind of testing that should've been done before the release of the game. People who purchased the game have every right to be angry but not only at the hackers but also at Ubisoft for offering a subpar DRM system without proper testing.
Well...Posted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by Greendewey
Well, as long as only 5% of the people who own the game they paid for couldn't play it then its okay right?
No one who has bought a copy of a game should have to deal with this crap. Its like you are only borrowing it from Ubisoft.
UbidouchePosted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by andyrew
All I can do is laugh about this. I thought their Nazi-like DRM was terrible, and decided against buying SC Conviction as a result. I really hope they learn their lesson about being dicks when it comes to this stuff. Newsflash Ubisoft: pirates will ALWAYS find a way to steal your crappy games, this type of DRM just places a fist firmly in the junk of all the legitimate customers that pay money for your products. This type of DRM is the gaming equivalent of getting HIV during a prison rape.
What's the Alternative?Posted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by red_11
Of course nobody likes the idea of DRM. With or without it (as Jonah said), it won't be long before games made on the consoles don't even get PC ports. Who's to blame? I don't know, but things aren't working (obviously).
It's almost funny what PC gaming has become...Popcap and Blizzard print money while big releases like Modern Warfare 2 essentially flop on the platform. Something has to change, whether it's the players sense of entitlement or the corporation's mistrust of said players. There needs to be a solution quickly or PC gaming is in trouble.
"Piracy is wrong!"Posted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by learningKnight
Also, all these people saying "piracy is wrong"... I agree with you in principal. Now that I have enough money to buy games I *never* pirate and I certainly don't encourage you to.
But come on guys... game companies are very upfront about wanting to milk every single damn dollar out of us. That's economics, and capitalism, and so fair enough. But if ethics have no place in business, then stop whining about lost revenue due to piracy. Game companies say piracy is "wrong?" Since when do game publishers (*cough Activision cough*) care about right and wrong? It's all about the bottom line to them. So why should gamers play by different rules?
@JonahFalconPosted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by learningKnight
You are not thinking logically. Put yourself in the shoes of a gamer. You have access to two versions of the game. One version is free and you can play it whenever and however you want. The other version costs $60 and can only be played if you have a constant internet connection that never drops, AND if the DRM is working properly, AND if "hackers" aren't attacking the servers. It's illegal, but the chances of getting caught are virtually zero.
Which version of the game do you think is more attractive to the average gamer?
Expected, and I Think Somewhat WarrantedPosted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by thePoltergeist
Although hacking is essentially an electronic form of vandalism and is still wrong, I believe it needed to be done to prove a point. Ubisoft tried to claim that this DRM was not a big deal and would not cause negative side effects. This proves they were wrong and that this idea needs to go back to the drawing board, not to mention patched out of already sold copies.
All this system did was create a new vulnerability that ruins the experience for legit (read: EX) paying customers. I get the desire to protect your creation and earn your money, Publisher's need food on the table like anyone else, but as pretty much everyone can see by now this is clearly not a good way of doing it.
WOWOWOWOWOWPosted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by JacksonsGames
I am seriously getting tired of hearing these "hackers"
Congrats to the HackersPosted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by Suburbanjohn
sorry for all the people who bought the game ligit, then ubisoft's scheme to protect themselves ended up hurting everybody.
Yeah, surePosted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by JonahFalcon
Pretty soon, PC gaming will be reduced to Popcap and MMOs, and only digital distribution.
Once more: UbiSoft did a no DRM game (Prince of Persia). That scheme failed.
How about talking to UbiSoft Montreal and listening to what THEY think of piracy.
Two thumbs up for the hackers!!!!!Posted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by DrunkSamurai
It serves Ubisoft right for having a stupid DRM scheme. You need a online connection for a non online game is just retarded!!!
@JonahFalconPosted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by shabs
Those people do have constant internet connections and still can't play their game. That's the problem.
It may have been "hackers" this time, but judging by the time it took for Ubisoft to diagnose the issue, it could have been any number of things, and it means your ability to play your game with a constant internet connection is still interrupted by the lag time of Ubisoft employees trying to figure out why their server is down. A denial-of-service attack is not uncommon. If your entire PC business depends on having your DRM servers up going forward, you better be damn sure they're working and resilient. Clearly Ubisoft did not put that care into this mechanism, and customers should rightly be enraged by their flippant dismissal of concerns.
I'm wrong on NO LEVELPosted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by JonahFalcon
I love the strawman arguments.
People who bought Assassin's Creed II and so forth did so knowing they'd have to have a constant internet connection. IT'S RIGHT THERE ON THE BOX.
They accepted UbiSoft's terms and want to enjoy playing their game. They spent the $50-60 for it. They deserve to enjoy their game.
If you don't want the DRM? Fine. DON'T BUY THE GAME. Certainly, DON'T STEAL THE GAME.
If the hackers get caught, they GET ARRESTED, and have their COMPUTERS CONFISCATED.
Please, stop it. Just... stop.
Less like Protection, more like a "Kick me" sign.Posted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by Bockin
I mean, this is calling for people to attack Ubi and what they are attempting (Poorly, I might add) to do, which is simply get hackers away by any means that they can! Ubi was probably targeted for this, and instead of it hurting total income by a margin of people who get the game by illegal means, every person who buys the game suffers. Its bad enough when your in a good game, and the power goes out. Now everytime a phone rings for people on ancient things like dialup, they get kicked out of the game. Aren't those the kind of people they aim for, a single player gamer with little to no online connectivity needed? Maybe a DLC product every once in a while? People who play things like RPGs and Platformers, and Assassin's Creed, will be a lost market. Maybe they should value the consumer, rather than the profit they make thereby.
@JonahFalconPosted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by Drzog
That statement is wrong on every level. One, hackers attacking Ubisoft does not equal pirates. Fact is, you have no idea who is reponsible or what their motives are, so stop speculating because it just makes you look like an idiot. And two, pirates aren't the ones who are making you connect to Ubisoft's servers in order to play an offline single-player aspect of their game, nor is anyone holding a gun to Ubisoft's head to do it either. In the future, think before you type.
wellPosted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by MangledMailMan
fuck ubisoft. this was a terrible move on their end. hackers and pirates will always find a way to play a game and now they have to go through these sort of leaps and bounds to play assassins creed 2. so fuck ubisoft, they deserve it for implementing such an extreme anti piracy device.
@JonahFalconPosted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by shabs
I think it's Ubisoft punishing people for legally paying for their games. They chose explicitly to have a single point of failure. The denial of service attack just points out how easy it is for that failure to occur. This server could go down for any number of reasons - "hackers" just happens to be the reason of the day.
not buying ubi pc gamesPosted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by Antorian
I understand Ubisoft trying to protect their products from pirates, but this DRM isn't the way. I would love to play Silent Hunter 5 but unless they stop using this DRM on their products, I will not buy Ubisoft games for my PC or consoles. I've never felt this way about a game company but this DRM is going too far by requiring an online connection at all times to play singleplayer games. This attack is unfortunate but shows that this system of DRM management is completely flawed. If a single player game is purchased and installed on a hard drive, it should work regardless of what some server is doing in never never land.
Nice logicPosted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by JonahFalcon
So, basically, pirates are punishing people for legally paying for their games?
@Nit3Posted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by shabs
No, that's not it.
If your software needs to call in to Ubisoft's servers 100% of the time, Ubisoft's servers need to be running 100% of the time, and in effect, your ability to play a game you purchased is determined by Ubisoft. What happens when this server goes down? What happens in 3 years when they don't want to run this server anymore?
Ubisoft dismissed these kinds of claims, yet this denial of service attack shows how easy it is for such a server to go down. In fact, we can never be confident that a paying customer can play the game they paid for.
This attack shows a specific flaw in Ubisoft's DRM, one people were afraid of, and no amount of PR speak is going to manage to spin this in a positive light. They need to gut this terrible DRM immediately and rethink their options.
Ubi deserves itPosted: Mar 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by shabs
PC gamers cried out at the idea of constant online authentication, and Ubisoft denied the risks. It was only a matter of time before the real-world consequence of their stupid, stupid DRM scheme showed its flaws.
I've been opting for PC versions of games more and more over the 360 versions, but I will never make that choice with a Ubisoft game because of their current stance toward the platform.

Officials at American Airlines said today that one of their fights bound for Los Angeles was forced to return to London's Heathrow Airport Wednesday after at least six people on board fell ill. A British newspaper reported that one member of the planes cabin crew appeared ill and fainted while five others complained about feeling unwell. At the time the plane was flying over southwest Iceland, but rather than land there, the captain decided to return to Heathrow.
An American Airlines spokesperson confirmed that two passengers and "some of our flight attendants" complained of feeling lightheaded aboard Flight 109. The plane took off from Heathrow at 12:05 p.m. local time Wednesday (7:05 a.m. EST). The airline's spokesperson also said early Thursday that the aircraft was being inspected by maintenance engineers.
Authorities said that paramedics and fire crews surrounded the plane as it landed approximately five hours after it had taken off. A local paper reported that the passengers' luggage was briefly taken away for inspection before being returned to them later.
"About 2.5 hours into the flight just as we were passing Iceland we had an announcement asking for any doctors, nurses or medical professionals on board to report to the boarding doors to assist with unwell passengers," one of the passenger, Lee Gunn told The Daily Mirror. "The lights then came on in the cabin and there was lots of commotion."
"Eventually, when we did dock, there was only one person who came on and he was monitoring the air," passenger Alan Gray told The Daily Mail. "Then the paramedics were allowed onboard to treat those who were ill and everybody was let off."
A captain with the London Fire Brigade said that "crews investigating the plane found no evidence of hazardous substances." Later an employee of the London Ambulance Service said that six patients who complained of feeling unwell when the plane landed were examined, then discharged.

LONDON, December 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
It's not long until Christmas, and every year a new device bags the award for the most popular Christmas present. This year, that looks set to be between iPad mini and iPad with Retina display.
The tale of the public appearances of these two devices is fairly different. It seems everyone, no matter who they were or what they did, expected Apple to announce iPad mini. The new full size iPad, iPad with Retina display, was a surprise, something increasingly rare in these large, international press announcements. But which is going to be the most popular as a surprise wrapped up under the trees this Christmas?
iPad mini has a lot going for it. Seemingly built to compete with Google's Nexus 4 by Asus and the Kindle Fire HD, it offers a scaled down iPad experience. Compared to its main competitors its screen is larger at 7.9", versus the 7" of the Nexus 4 and Kindle Fire HD. iPad mini is also easily the better looking tablet - it's such a premium design and finish. At over 80g lighter than either the Kindle or Nexus, iPad mini is also super thin, measuring just 7.2mm. This makes it thinner than even iPhone 5. With iOS 6 on board, it's got the latest software with Siri, Apple Maps, and all of Apple's famous apps and attention to detail. iPad mini is aimed not so much at the budget user, but at those that want a tablet that is genuinely practical to carry with you, but that still offers the full feature set of a traditional 10" tablet.
iPad with Retina display, sometimes referred to as iPad 4, is dominated by its 9.7" touchscreen. While this is slightly smaller than the displays on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 or the Asus Transformer range, which all have 10.1" screens, the stats for iPad with Retina display make it a winner. A resolution of 2048x1536 with 264 pixels per inch (ppi) translates into a screen that is extremely sharp and crisp to look at, and when using it normally, about 9" away, the naked eye can't see individual pixels. Compared to the competition, only the Nexus 10 can compete in screen quality. Inside iPad 4, the trend continues. The new A6X processor packs twice the processing power and computes twice as fast as the chip in the new iPad (or iPad 3), and really helps iPad with Retina display to delivery stunning performance for games and multitasking, allowing you to open many apps at once without experiencing slow down. And, finally, iPad is 4G compatible in the UK, so you can use the new 4G network to get mobile internet speeds up to five times faster than current 3G speeds (you'll have to get the cellua iPad with Retina display remember though.) iPad 4 is more for the home user who wants to spend time enjoying the web, watching HD content or gaming.
All in all it depends what you're looking for. With both iPads delivering 10 hours of battery life, something only the Asus Transformer Prime and Transformer Pad can live with thanks to the second batteries in their keyboard docks, usage isn't limited by your access to a mains supply. The larger, more powerful iPad 4 is ideal for home use, and those that want the best tablet experience. Carphone Warehouse has iPad with Retina display starting at £389. iPad mini is the portable choice, and will be great for younger users and teenagers due to smaller size and its lower retails price. Carphone Warehouse is also stocking the mini version, and is currently offering tablets at the best prices in the UK, so get to the website to see the latest prices.

How should enterprise IT executives and buyers define their focus, needs, and roadmap, and communicate that clearly to the providers?
