Interesting read though If this caught on I would be gutted and even though its probably only about 0.1% but 0.1% of BitTorrent is legit.
Look how many Linux distros are moving over to torrents to distribute the iso's. Yet another case of the guilty making the legitimate users suffer.
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

Thread: Spec Ops - Not Crossing the Line
As for the main argument, I think Spec Ops mostly succeeds at what it attempts - which, to me, is to show the excesses of war and adolescent power-fantasies. I've pointed out before that the story is somewhat clumsy and forced, and that it's a bit depressing that even despite that it has generated so much attention - it just goes to show how starved we are when it comes to gaming narratives.
That being said, I don't really agree with the argument that if *I* had made choices instead of Walker the game would have made a more lasting impact. I think it succeeds at what it tries to be - you see Walker's story, and you reflect on that based on your previous experiences with other games and war-related media. You don't need to feel you are Raskolnikov to enjoy/reflect on Crime and Punishment, and I think the same applies here. I think your argument relies on the premise that games can offer "deeper" immersion than books/movies/etc., but that is highly questionable (I would say games can offer a different kind of immersion, but it will always be limited, just like with books/movies/etc.).
And yes, do play it on easy - if only to make the adolescent power-fantasy even more absurd, which enhances the game.
Did you shoot the prisoners, the snipers or the ropes? Why?
Did you beat the guy at the end of the zip rope to death right away? Why?
Did you shoot into the air or at the civvies after you found your squad mate hung up and dead? Why?
Did you go home or did you "welcome" the search and rescue squads to Dubai?
Yes, the story continues on after all these actions and you always end up at the same ending, but you're the one that decided to do it. You're meant to think back and ask why.
I'll answer it myself. All the while I played I was playing as I thought Walker would react based on my observation of his surroundings. Everyone else might have seen it differently, which imo is part of the "beauty" of the game.
1 - I tried to shoot the snipers out. I took the two on the right and my squad the two on the left. It didn't work, but I did it because I felt thats what my character would try to do.
2 - I beat the man to death almost right away without registering anything other than "He's not dead yet and if he's not dead yet that means he might get up and try kill me".
3 - I shot the guy immediately in front of me. I looked in his face and shot his head clean off. It was obvious to me that at this point Walker had snapped.
4 - I went home. After thinking about pulling the trigger on them I felt that Walker had broken to a point and would have to spend the rest of his days living with that. Out of respect for his squad and the men he murdered on the way to try be a hero he decided that was his faith.
You'll struggle to find a bigger advocate of narrative in games than me. I have no problem what so ever with reading, watching or any other uninovlved device within games so long as there is plenty to play still and that the experience and narrative of playing follows the experience and narrative of what's going on in the cutscenes or text or dialogue what have you. The Witcher 2 is the par excellence example of this. Intensive cutscenes, intensive dialogue, intensive texts to read if you want, and intensive gameplay, all of which conspire to tell a bigger story than just a film or book could. They compliment each other, the laws in one don't violate the other, you never see Geralt do something you can't yourself replicate or which does not fit with the conventions established in the variety of different narrative devices.
If on the other hand you have a game which allows you to play out cliches while the cutscenes and dialogue suggest there's something bigger than that going on, unless it'd done very very well in parody then to me it's just a story pasted into the game and as such has totally missed the strength of the medium. Gaming narrative should tell you everything you need to know in all of it's aspects. If any of those differ from each other-i.e man is finite, horror of war, death is terrible, in a game in which you don't need to worry about dying-the narrative fails in gaming terms. The points made can still be good ones, but the purpose of using an interactive medium to tell them has been lost somewhere.
That's how Spec Ops came across to me to be honest. It's a good story, but it's larlgey dissacociated from how it plays. It's a good game sure but it dosen't come close to being as clever as it thinks it is in my mind.
You're not wrong, but you don't quite get the point the game's trying to make.
It's basically turning the "Lone Ranger saves the day" trope on its head - instead of making things better and saving everyone by stubbornly refusing to do what he should do, Walker makes things worse.
The game isn't at all about player choices, it's about how the choices Walker makes are terrible. It doesn't matter at all what you choose to do - in the end no matter your choice, it's Walker's choices that determine the outcomes (pushing into the city instead of following his orders to wait outside it, not calling his superiors and reporting the 33rd going rouge the moment they begin shooting at him, using the phosphorous mortar, etc).
No matter the players' choices the outcome is negative because the protagonist is the stereotypical "I want to be the guy" and in the real world that kind of attitude can lead to stupid decisions at best, and downright dangerous ones to both you and other people at worst (which the game fully demonstrates).
The game's goal is to mercilessly jab at bravado - Walker's and yours while playing these kind of games. The loading screens begin asking, "Do you feel like a hero yet?" It wants you to see just how stupid Walker is, where his own little "I'm off to save the world!" fantasy ends up taking him and consider what would really happen if games like Call of Battlefield had even the slightest grounding in reality.Virtual Pilot 3D NEVER NOT SCAM!

But we all know that already. You don't need to make a game for it, and you don't need to praise such a game for it. We all know that these games are silly twaddle, but we also know that they're entertaining twaddle. It's like how vigilantes are always really cool characters in fiction, but in practice you'd never want to have one around and you'd never want to be one.
I'm not against the idea of a game where the protagonist makes a mess of things (although I tend to be against dislikeable protagonists), but I'm not going to reward someone with praise for just doing it either.Irrelevant on further examination of the rest of the thread.
Also, it seems to think it's making a point about violence in videogames, that's the big spiel, but as the conversation above shows it does nothing of the sort really. What it does comment on is the hero saving the day trope, and not very well. What it has to say on violence and war, it says no better and much worse than many of the millions of other commentaries on war, colonialism, violence, guns etc in a variety of media, games included.
I admire any authors intentions to do more than "just be a game", even the mad starey eyed over earnestness of Far Cry 3's writer. It's good that they want to use the medium to talk about big issues. The problem is they do so in a way which suggests the medium is a limitation in this-"*more* than just a game"- rather than a superb device for it. They layer a moralising story onto a game, which isn't remotely the same thing. The brilliance of good narrative in games is that you can see how the designer has looked at the message they want to convey and then clearly worked on how saying it through games is the best way to do so, rather than "Hey I've got a book/film idea here let's turn it into a game".

Spec Ops is the first game I've ever seen that turns the trope on its head while being completely serious about it. Games have subverted it before, but always for the sake of humor.
Those are the points of Spec Ops: subverting your every expectation of video games by first presenting your virtual self and friends as perfectly respectable, do-gooders who you discover are really just as awful as the nameless, faceless alien hordes you'd shoot in most other games. And just maybe making you think for a second why you're really pointing and shooting a virtual gun at things for.Virtual Pilot 3D NEVER NOT SCAM!

Why should I feel an emotional burden for someone else's bad decisions? I've got enough of my own to worry over, thanks.
I would suggest that the game reflects on the 'Hero or Power Fantasy' of the various adventures in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Kosovo, Sierra Leone and so on that have been perpetrated in our names and advocated by people that represent us in some sense.
Perhaps Spec Ops seems more useful to me because I'm someone who likes to believe that at least one or two of those adventures really did do some good, and because I do feel some sort of responsibility for the actions of my government. I know many people don't subscribe to the latter and I don't think they're being particularly unreasonable.
I watched Culloden (1964) shortly after playing Spec Ops and that made me feel that I was shouldering some sort of shared burden for similar reasons. I didn't feel responsible for the events depicted, but I did recognise how the depiction had relevance to things that I have at least limited responsibility for.
Hmm. I think Spec Ops was basically a game set the day after Modern Warfare went through town and showed the player the results that the CoD games don't care to show.Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory since 1982.
From this thread, I see three main trends in the people who bashed/"didn't get" Spec Ops
1. Inability to "look at the big picture" in almost a "meta" kind of way. Yes, you had no real choice while playing the game. What you were doing was picking the choices set before you by the game. But Walker picked from the choices set before him by the voices in his head. Same with the ability to walk away.
2. A refusal to believe that tropes are not bad. Yeah, aspects of it have been done before (it is Fight Club meets Heart of Darkness set to the backdrop of Modern Warfare). But so what? Tropes are tools.
3. A lack of familiarity/love for a good deconstruction. At its core, Spec Ops was a deconstruction of the modern military manshoot genre. In many ways, I compare it to Unforgiven (just a lot less good). Unforgiven is an entire movie of Clint Eastwood and Gene Hackman deconstructing the entire Western genres, capped off by about 5 minutes of Clint Eastwood reconstructing everything in the blink of an eye. And showing just what kind of an inhuman monster it would take to be a Gunslinging Western Hero. Of course, Unforgiven was also a beautiful love story and Clint Eastwood's best work, so yeah.
But it still is interesting to read the rationales to excuse the player from any blame for the events of the game. Mainly because you can EASILY envision Walker saying those exact words as he talks to his hallucinations while holding a gun up to his head. And I think that makes it even more interesting on a meta level.Steam: Gundato

If you want me on either service, I suggest PMing me here first to let me know who you are.
As far as other games go though, Cannon Fodder is the go to example, but I remember the first time I encountered a machine gun nest in COH, the way that it decimated my squad which had six times as many members, the way a random tractor in a field was the only thing that stood in between one guy staying alive and the rest of his squad dying.
This is because life in strategy games is cheap and is not an asymmetrical set of affairs either, both AI and player chuck troops into the meat grinder and both are as pulpy and suspecitble to being consumed by it as each other. I have rarely played a strategy game in which preservation of life in as far as is possible isn't prized, and I usually feel bad if there's a massacre. Compelling little fleshy mortals to death on my behalf is a far bigger moral challenge and commentary on war than the virtual fly swatting which comprises most FPS games, where you play a mighty giant swatting at little irritants to progress.
Any game in which people dying is not a big deal on both sides has missed the horror of war from the outset i.e that it is not a weapon to be wielded but a a force that consumes everything it touches.
Same applies for the consequences of a war game. Strategy games often both show and make you feel the consequences of your actions. They focus on a loss of life which is mechanically as well as aesthetically relevant. FPS games don't, because they can't as things stand. How can a demigod empathise with one shot killed goons? Again, you can talk and show about the horrors of war, but not as well as a film or book. If you can't feel the consequences, there's no point in making a game to get your point across, because you're missing out on the medium's strength.
In regards to the other stuff I'm probably not the best person to comment on it as any game which involves any violence at all has always had me consider the feelings of the victim at that point. Without question. From the frogs I punched in Alex Kid to the samurai who died in their thousands for me in Shogun to bandits I killed in Metro 2033. Usually I happily plough on though because it's irrelevant. The violence is a tool for interaction, it isn't actual violence or a mediation thereon. And Spec Ops really is no different in this. In Spec Ops I'm as powerful as my Saints Row Boss only the civilians make a sadder noise when they die, the story focuses on the horrors of war rather than dildos and gangster exccess, and the experience isn't nearly as good or as fun or as relevant to said plot. There is no reason for me to care beyond the story, in which case, tell a story, don't make it a game.

Which I suppose is almost an attack on games. I think there's certainly a tension in the medium.
We need a roguelike fps/tps that's like die by the sword or sumthin. Your wounds never heal, pro tip: don't get shot. Game could be like 5 hours long and the one who finishes it is the king. And that would be more intelligent criticism of the medium than Spec Ops.Twitter! Occasional impressions on random sim games.

You're not really even supposed to empathize with Walker or his squad in Spec Ops. You're supposed to be disgusted by them and the things they do. The graphic violence is there to make the consequences of their actions seem more real.
And who says a game can't portray the consequences of a man trying to be an action hero and make you feel? Why would a book be better at it? It's just words on paper. Why would a movie be better at it? It's just moving pictures and sound.
Any medium can do it, it's just games have only recently now started to be used to do it.

Interesting reading on it here: http://tinysubversions.com/2012/11/r...#comment-11841
It's actually a review of a close reading of the game but the author of the review touches on what the problems are around it. There's a respone from the author of the book as well.
It's not a commentary on how unrealistic modern war shooter games are, it's a commentary on the bravado "Let's be a hero!" attitude and how it would actually work out.Virtual Pilot 3D NEVER NOT SCAM!

WATCH: Justin Bieber 'covers' Metallica's 'Fade To Black'
Listen to Metallica on iHeartRadio | Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio
When Justin Bieber told 'GQ' magazine that he was a Metallica fan last year, he wasn't kidding.
The pop star was caught on video playing air guitar and using his voice to cover Kirk Hammett's guitar solo from the band's song "Fade to Black" - a song that came out 10 years before the Bieb was even born.

Our love affair with seaside towns is as old as the tides themselves
Being an island, we've always had a knack for playing around in the water. Just look at the facts: the oldest yacht club in the world, The Royal Cork Yacht Club, was founded here in 1720.
The island boasts the second largest natural harbour in the world, Cork Harbour. We even have our very own pirate queen – a notorious matriarch by the name of Grace O'Malley (Granuaile) who stalked the coasts in the 16th century, commanded a fleet of ships and caused all sorts of trouble.
These days, though, the only pirate queen in our waters is the Clare Island Ferry, named after Grace herself.
You might have heard us mention that 2013 is the year of The Gathering, maybe a few times or more? Well, during this year-long celebration of Irish culture, the sport of sailing is well and truly is well represented. There are lots of brilliant maritime festivals taking place around the island, but here are ones to watch…
Headed up by Ireland's Round the World sailing legend, Damian Foxall, The Gathering Cruise will see hundreds of yachts from around the world converge on County Dublin's Dun Laoghaire harbour. The international flotilla will cruise its way south along the Irish coast and into the ancient port of Kinsale, County Cork for a festival feast of artisan foods and Irish music and craic. The Gathering Cruise is open to all who have a passion for sailing and onboard camaraderie.

County Cork is getting in on the Gathering sailing madness, too. The beautiful port of Kinsale will host the 2013 IFDS Disabled Sailing Championships, with sailors battling it out across a variety of heats and sailing styles. While two ancient forts guard the approach into Kinsale from the sea, spectators can watch the action and taste the many reasons why this little village is known as the Gourmet Capital of Ireland.
Ireland's largest sailing club, Howth Sailing Club, is hosting the J24 World Championships. The world's best sailors will be taking part in these five-person keelboat races. A simple DART journey from the city centre, make Howth your base to watch the action, while munching on locally caught seafood, and even seeing if the resident seals will pop up to say hello!
So impressive are our Irish waters that the prestigious Laser European Championships are taking place off the coast of Dublin in Dun Laoghaire Harbour. Competitors from all over Europe will compete in the Woman and Men's Radial Championships and the Standard Men's Championships. Back on dry land, there will be plenty to keep the crowds entertained in Dun Laoghaire.
Pirate queens or not, the sea around Ireland is definitely still a playground and we've got the ports and sailing events to prove it. Drop your anchor with us in Ballycastle, Cobh, Dun Laoghaire or Strangford Lough for a quick sample of what goes on around these maritime towns.

There's a bit of the multitasker about Ballycastle, and the pretty harbor appeals to sailing enthusiasts and holidaymakers...
The main thing about Cobh is its history. It was here that the RMS Titanic and hundreds of other liners and famine ships...
You can tell Dún Laoghaire is a sailing hotspot even with your eyes closed. How? By listening to that soft flapping...
As harbor gems go, Strangford twinkles brightly. The harbour may be on the modest side, but that's exactly what works...

Kids a bit protective
Being a single parent is never easy but I am at a stage where 3 out of my 4 kids are all grown up (all in college) and thought it would be nice to be dating again.
It has been 17 years since I was separated from their biological father and have focused my time and efforts being both a mother and a father to them.
Now that they are older and need less of me, I am considering being in a relationship again.
However, my kids are a opposed to it. They say that I don't need a man in my life and that I should not have any worries because they promised to take care of me when I grow old.
I find it sweet that they have actually thought and made plans about my "retirement". And I know that the reason they are not keen on the idea of me having a relationship because they don't want me hurt again (we're really very close!).
Not that I'm in a terrible hurry or desperate to have a man in my life...but how do I make them understand?

Hi Raven
I am a single parent too. My children are only 9 and 3 but even so my 9 year old has explored with me the possibility of a new partner. Fortunately being younger she is actually on-board with the idea because she understands that ultimately I don't want to spend my life alone.
I guess the first most important thing I have to say is - your children don't have to understand. They are grown. They have their lives. You have yours. While I understand you are close and they certainly seem to want to care for you, there are quite simply things they cannot give you - like romantic companionship and someone to share the daily burdens of life with.
If you feel the need to justify your desire to have a partner perhaps ask them about what they want out of life (likely in there will come love, children, travel etc). Then explain to them that your desires are really no different. Despite the gap in your ages, just like them you do not want to walk through like alone and just like their siblings would not be a substitute for a partner for them, children are not a substitute for a partner for you.
Consider also that in addition to fearing you may get hurt, your children may also feel that they have earned a certain place of authority in your life beyond that of child. This often happens where children are raised by a single parent (for whatever reason). That's not to say that as single parents we raise our children up to the status of partner. Children in single parent relationships often do more, get more of a say in the everyday workings of the family's life, and are consulted and relied upon more by parents.
This can result in a child who is mature beyond their years and more compassionate than most. But it can also mean that they then have trouble with what they perceive as being replaced when another adult comes along to share the load that they once did.
Speak to your children if it is important to you but also make a decision beforehand whether you intend to yield to their desire that you not have a partner, or seek one out regardless. Then be open and honest with your children. If you intend and want to seek a partner, thank them for their love and concern while explaining that this is something you need for yourself and after many years alone you feel you have earned. If you preference is to grow old with someone rather than alone (I know mine is!) then tell them so.
The reality is that you may get hurt but love always carries that risk for all of us. Avoiding the risk won't necessarily prevent hurt. It's just that rather than being hurt by someone else we are likely hurting ourselves.

McDermott named interim dean of Moore School
By Peggy Binette, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-7704
John McDermott, chair of the economics department, has been named interim dean of the Darla Moore School of Business.
McDermott, who has been the economics chair for five years, will start July 1 while a national search continues for a replacement for Hildy Teegen who has served as dean since 2007.
The interim appointment was announced Friday by Provost Michael Amiridis.
Amiridis also expressed the university's appreciation of Teegen for her leadership and contributions over the last six years to the Darla Moore School of Business and the university and pointed out that she will assist McDermott in his new interim role prior to her international engagement in the Fulbright Scholars program.
"John is a seasoned administrator for the interim position," Amiridis says, adding McDermott is a recognized scholar in economic growth and international monetary theory and a celebrated teacher and mentor who has served the Moore School with distinction for more than 30 years.
Amiridis says McDermott, 61, will focus his efforts primarily on undergraduate and graduate enrollments and instruction, the school's initiatives in technology to deliver instruction across space, an accreditation visit and the school's move to its new building.
"I look forward to helping lead the Moore School during the coming year," McDermott says. "There is a wealth of talent at the school – faculty, students and staff – and it is a privilege to be able to serve as the interim dean."
As a scholar in economic growth and development McDermott's work has appeared in the top journals in economics. His paper "Culture, Caution and Trust" with colleague Jan Breuer appeared recently in the Journal of Development Economics. His collaboration with Marvin Goodfriend produced "Early Development" and "Industrial Development and the Convergence Question," both of which appeared in the American Economic Review. And his paper "Development Dynamics: Economic Integration and the Demographic Transition" was featured in the Journal of Economic Growth.
Lauded for his teaching, McDermott has been named the IMBA (formerly MIBS) Outstanding Professor of the Year three times. His service at USC has extended beyond his leadership in the Moore School to include participation in searches for administrators and numerous university committees, including ones for admissions, tenure and promotion, budget and religious affairs.
McDermott earned his bachelor's degree in foreign service from Georgetown University in 1973 and his master's and doctoral degrees in economics from Brown University in 1974 and 1979, respectively. Prior to joining USC's faculty in 1983 he was an assistant professor of economics at the University of Delaware and Holy Cross College.
A native of Lafayette, Ind., McDermott and his wife Suzanne, a professor in the USC School of Medicine, have four children.

Contact: Robert Lesino, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON — The U.S. General Services Administration today kicked off its Network Services Conference, which is tailored to help Federal, state and local client agencies better understand and utilize GSA's network services solutions.
The event, being held in Dallas through Aug. 14, features information and experts on the vehicles that will help GSA's client agencies meet their telecom needs for the next decade. Attendees will learn about the vast portfolio of network services, products, services and solutions offered by GSA's Federal Acquisition Service, Office of Integrated Technology Services (FAS/ITS).

buildings and 208,000 vehicles.
• GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 425 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
• GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.

WASHINGTON — House Republicans took another stab Thursday at undoing part of the 2010 health care reform law, but this effort — like the 40 before it — isn't expected to get far.
On a largely party-line 235-191 vote, the House passed a bill sponsored by Tennessee Rep. Diane Black that would bar federal subsidies for people participating in newly created health insurance exchanges until the Obama administration sets up a system to verify those people are eligible.
Democrats called the Gallatin Republican's proposal unnecessary and obstructionist.
The vote marked the 41st time the GOP-controlled House has tried since 2011 to repeal or delay the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. The Democratically controlled Senate is not expected to take up Black's bill, and the president has threatened to veto it.
The bill focuses on the health care exchanges created under the 2010 law, which are set to open Oct. 1. The exchanges are online marketplaces designed to help consumers find affordable coverage. They target individuals and families who aren't insured through the government or a private employer.
Under the law, some people will receive federal subsidies to help pay for insurance coverage, depending on their income. The Department of Health and Human Services had planned to roll out a verification system to make sure applicants qualify for the subsidies.
But in July, the administration said it would not have a verification system in place until 2015. Instead, consumers will be trusted to provide necessary information, including income levels.
Black and other critics say that could lead to widespread fraud. Her "No Subsidies Without Verification Act" would prevent subsidies from being disbursed until a verification system is in place.
"This bill would protect American taxpayers from the staggering amounts of fraud and abuse in Obamacare exchanges by simply requiring that Obamacare live up to its original guarantee in the original law — that only those who certify to be eligible for taxpayer subsidies receive them," Black said on the House floor prior to the vote.
Democrats counter that there is a verification system in place — the IRS. Any incorrect income information provided by subsidy applicants will be spotted — and addressed — when they file their taxes the following year.
Supporters of the health care law say the same kind of honor system allows people to self-report cash tips, and businesses to self-report purchases of goods that cost more than $600.
Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J., called Black's bill "nothing more than another page out of the Republican playbook" to kill the health care law.
"Rather than a productive, bipartisan effort to ensure successful implementation, Republicans will instead waste more precious floor time to take their 41st vote that undermines and repeals the Affordable Care Act," he said before the vote. "Your bill will do nothing but prevent millions of hard-working American families from gaining affordable health care coverage."

Feminism | Posted by Bre K on 12/14/2010
Eliminating Gender Expectations Starting with the Dorms
"So how is your Women Gender Studies Class? Have you stopped shaving your legs yet?" smiles and bickers a "fellow" male hall-mate of mine as he takes a seat on the couches in our dorm lounge. Oh boy, time to deal with sexist jerks that actually make me want to pretend I am a man-hating feminist stereotype. Since one guy in my dorm found out I was in Women Gender Studies 101, I'm now suddenly responsible for representing all the feminist women out there. But wait, there's more. Signing up for this class also automatically comes free with the constant taunting and degrading comments from him and a flurry of conformists in the dorms.
"So do you hate men?" Snickers one of the three guys. Somehow every time one of …

CAMBRIDGE, MA —Akamai Technologies Inc., a high-speed network solutions provider based here, reports that faster download speeds are being achieved in managing more than eight terabytes of monthly traffic on Ecast's network. In 2006, Ecast Inc. (San Francisco) tapped Akamai to boost delivery speeds of its digital music catalog and rich-media advertising to 10,000-plus digital jukeboxes, eliminating uncertainties about peak bandwidth demands.
Akamai specializes in providing managed online services that power rich media, dynamic transactions and enterprise applications. The company pioneered the content delivery market a decade ago, and numerous companies worldwide have adopted its services as an alternative to centralized Web infrastructure. It maintains a global network of tens of thousands of distributed servers that provide the scale, reliability, insight and performance to handle the online demands of a wide variety of industries.
Ecast's need to service a variety of audiences with different usage patterns – consumers, advertisers and jukebox operators, as well as its own network operations staff – prompted the move to employ Akamai's backbone system two years ago. The system enabled a "reliable" push of rich-media content across varying peak usage times.
"Akamai represents another one of Ecast's competitive advantages," said Ecast vice-president of products Dave Schmidt. "Our ability to quickly and accurately distribute new releases of software, music catalogs and promotional content, including full-screen video, to all of our 10,000 locations at once is a huge benefit to our customers and partners."
Explaining the need for increasing the power of its network, Ecast instanced a usage spike that occurred on December 21, 2007, when the San Francisco music provider experienced the highest single-day usage in its history. Happening at a normally busy time of year, the spike also fell on a Friday, which is typically the busiest day for jukebox usage. According to Ecast, one-day music consumption exceeded daily averages by 36%.
"With other providers," Schmidt noted, "Ecast would have exceeded its bandwidth ceiling and incurred thousands of dollars in overage charges. Even worse, we would have simply failed to meet consumer demand. But with Akamai in place, Ecast was able to effortlessly handle this spike in usage without taking a hit to the checkbook or in anyway impacting the consumer experience."
Prior to implementing Akamai's solution, Ecast employed a time- and labor-intensive process to manage peak bandwidth, often requiring five to eight hours to release large content bundles.
According to Akamai vice-president of marketing Brad Rinklin, the media consumption habits of younger audiences are rapidly changing, which has applied increased pressure on advertising and the music industries to reach them in "more engaging and compelling" ways. "The ability to provide a more immersive and interactive experience allows Ecast to continuously drive revenue, engage a captive audience and create a dynamic environment for music enthusiasts," he said.
Adobe, Audi AG, Clear Channel, Fox Interactive, MySpace, the NBA and Verizon Wireless are among the many clients that use Akamai's solutions to manage their online media assets. The company claims to deliver between 10% and 20% of all Web traffic and can achieve file transfer speeds of more than 650 gigabits per second at times.

The exact cause is unknown.
Smegma, a cheese-like, foul-smelling substance found under the foreskin of the penis may increase the risk of penis cancer.
Uncircumcised men who do not keep the area under the foreskin clean and men with a history of genital warts or human papillomavirus (HPV) are at higher risk for this rare disorder.
The health care provider will perform a physical exam, which may reveal a non-tender lesion that looks like a pimple or wart. This growth is typically near the end of the penis.
A biopsy of the growth is needed to determine if it is cancer.
Treatment depends on the size and location of the tumor and how much it has spread.
In general, cancer treatment includes:
If the tumor is small or near the tip of the penis, surgery may be done to remove only the cancerous part of the penis. Depending on the exact location, this is called a glansectomy or partial penectomy. Laser surgery may be used to treat some tumors.
For more severe tumors, total removal of the penis (total penectomy) is often necessary. A new opening will be created in the groin area to allow urine to exit the body. This procedure is called a urethrostomy.
Chemotherapy may be used along with surgery. Cisplatin, ifosfamide, and paclitaxel are usually used for treating cancer of the penis.
Radiation therapy is often recommended in combination with surgery. A type of radiation therapy called external beam therapy is often used. This method delivers radiation to the penis from outside the body. External beam radiation therapy is usually performed 5 days a week for 6 - 8 weeks.
Joining a support group where members share common experiences and problems may help relieve the stress associated with diagnosis and treatment of cancer of the penis.
See: Cancer - support group
The outcome can be good with early diagnosis and treatment. The 5-year survival rate for cancer of the penis is 65%. Urination and sexual function can often be maintained, even when a large part of the penis is removed.
Cancer of the penis frequently spreads to other parts of the body (metastasizes) early in the course of the disease.
Call your health care provider if symptoms of penis cancer develop.
Circumcision may decrease the risk. Men who are not circumcised should be taught at an early age the importance of cleaning beneath the foreskin as part of their personal hygiene.
Safer sexual practices, such as abstinence, limiting the number of sexual partners, and using condoms to prevent HPV infection, may decrease the risk of developing cancer of the penis.

I came to Lindsey in 2001. It has always been my desire to
teach at a small school. I truly enjoy the one on one
interactions with students and really getting to know my
students. I am originally from Morehead, KY and I grew up the
daughter of a geology professor. I have spent most of my life
in a college science building.
My main interests outside the classroom are spending time with
my husband and two children, Lilly and Sam. I also enjoy
gardening, cooking, and shopping.
My goal in the classroom is to try to convey the wonders of the
complexity of cells and genetics!! How cells do all they do
and do it so well is just amazing! I hope to stimulate
student's interests through discussions within the classroom and
the lab. Currently, several students have been participating
in an independent research project trying to identify genes
involved mRNA splicing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae or
Baker's yeast.

Mastodon releasing 'One More Round The Sun' later this year
Listen to Mastodon on iHeartRadio
Mastodon's long-awaited new album finally has a name.
In an interview with Paste, the band says their follow-up to 2011's The Hunter will be called Once More Round the Sun, and is on track to hit stores later this year.
The heavy metal act recorded the album late last year in Tennessee. Bassist and vocalist Troy Sanders says he's had a lot of time to "ingest" the new music, and proudly calls it a solid "slab of granite."
But it turns out Mastodon could have made Once More Round the Sun even bigger. They had an extra 30 minutes of music that didn't fit on the final album, which they plan to put out sometime soon as a bonus EP.

New Vegas.
I honestly just noticed. I was a goody two-shoes from the beginning trying to do what I would actually do.
I decided to side with the Legion, and ever since then, I've noted that my behavior has swiftly gone from being a travelling good-doer to a downright asshole prick fucker.
@Portal Maniac: You should go as a neutral character. Mix it up with boring mediocrity!
OT: Pox Nora. Don't play many turn-based strategy games, so I figured I'd try this one. It's alright but I think I need to buy shit to play it for long (which I don't feel like doing).
Binged on Tf2 because my exams are over. :D
Still that turn-based combat game. I'm waiting for either Guild Wars' New Year thing or Pokemon B/W.
Dwarf Fortress.
Due to the recent loss of my hardware, I just crafted a steel axe and let my woodcutter equip it. Then the computer labs closed. Was a brand new fortress because of losing the rest to hardware.
Getting tired of starting over...
Pox Nora. I feel like I should play something else, if only to post something new on here.
Also, I'm starting to think less of Pokemon as a strategy game.
Both Pokemon Heart Gold and Mein Kraft.
So much to do. So much time.
Lost some Starcraft 2, won some Starcraft 2. The usual.
I'm starting to feel like I'll be a Bronze Ranker forever...
I'm starting to feel like I don't mind :)
@SirBryghtside: After seeing how good Koreans are at Starcraft, I'm not even gonna bother getting good at Starcraft.
@Portal Maniac: OMG do you have Deoxys?
OT: Waiting for numerous stuff on various games. The most likely order of updates: Guild Wars, Pox Nora, Pokemon.
Until then I'll play EQ2X, Dekaron, Pox Nora, and anything else that makes me feel like I wasted my life. Maybe I should start something cool...
Downloaded Dwarf Fortress.
I have, so far, looked at 7 faces move around a screen and highlighted some trees.
Was worried by a letter C, which turned out to be a Cougar. He hasn't killed any of my faces, though. I think I'll call him Fluffles.
Now, to work out how to play this game...
I think I'll do a Let's Play :P
@SirBryghtside: Oo, I can do one for several of the games I play. Then we can have a playdate with them and dress them in matching clothes and all kinds of stuff!
OT: You all know what I'm playing.
Lego Racers.
And I can truthfully say that my hatred of Rocket Racer isn't just nostalgia - he's bloody impossible.
And it turns out he doesn't even cheat D:
Edit: just beat him with .68 of a second to spare.
Now I can sleep.
Blah blah Pox Nora...
What should I change my signature to?
Right now, Heart Gold.
Getting my ass handed to me by that fucking CHEATER of a rival.
@oppp7: Mais oui.
@Portal Maniac: I don't speak Japanese. :/
Won 3 matches in a row on Starcraft 2.
I think I might actually see the light at the end of this very bronze tunnel... :)
@SirBryghtside: It's a train coming in the opposite direction. Run.
OT: Dekaron. I have no idea why I play that game.
Mein Kraft.
Waiting for the grass to fully grow in my basement.
@oppp7: C'�tait fran�ais, b�te t�te.
Trading crap on Pox Nora. Trade roulette is fun.
@Portal Maniac: La muchacha en la camisa rojo no esta bailando porque ella es blanco. (Think I may have messed that up but whatever)
'Nuff said.
@oppp7: "The girl in the red shirt not this dancing because she is white" wut
@Portal Maniac: It was supposed to be: "The girl in the red shirt isn't dancing because she is white."
Best Idea ever. Nearly complete too :D
@oppp7: Riiiiiiiiiight.....
Half-Life: Blue Shift. Last thing I did was save, and then double-barrel that bloody annoying scientist.
Edit: Completed the game. It was alright.
Pox Nora.
@Portal Maniac: Why does everyone learn like 3-4 languages?
Metroid Prime 2. I have a vendetta against that game and its insane difficulty.
You just beat a boss? Too bad, you have to beat it 3 times. And if you fail, you go all the way back to the last save point - months ago! -.-'
@oppp7: *shrug* I know a bit of Spanish, GCSE French (i.e. not much), and... um... English.
Yay! I'm average!
@Various polyglots: I know 1.01.
Has anyone else noticed that the front page thing updates slowly?
Played a bit of split screen Blur.
Did the Pox Nora daily things. I think I'm going to go do something important now...
Metroid Prime 2, on another of the INSANE bosses.
This is the only game I've ever ragequit.
@SirBryghtside: I've ragequitted most of them.
OT: Pox Nora. Not sure what to do with my time.
@oppp7: I only know 1.
@Portal Maniac: Ya but pretty much everyone in the world knows more languages than I do and I have no idea why they learned them.
OT: Does anyone even care about the topic?
Fallout 1. Got shanked to death by a lesser mole rat. Holy shit that game is hard.
Yay for my awesome friends buying me games :3
@oppp7: Probably because the options are not learning a language and losing out because of it?
@Portal Maniac: I guess. Also, do you know how to search for scholarly sources? Everything that comes up on Google Scholar is either 1. Not a fucking link, 2. something that I need to pay for. I can see where scholarly sources would be a good idea, but from what I can tell the system is too fucked to be useful.
OT: Pox Nora.

Trace Adkins' wife files for divorce
Listen to Trace Adkins on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Country star Trace Adkins is headed for divorce.
The 52-year-old singer's wife, Rhonda, filed for an end to their 16-year marriage on Monday in Franklin, Tennessee. Rhonda, who shares three school-age daughters with Trace — MacKenzie, Brianna, and Trinity — petitioned the court for primary custody of the girls, as well as child support and health insurance for them. She's also asked for health insurance for herself, alimony, and court costs, according to court documents. She cites "irreconcilable differences" as the cause.
Trace, who's also known for his turns on "Celebrity Apprentice," met Rhonda when he was still an up-and-coming singer without a record label going through his second divorce. She was a publicist working for Arista Records who became a friend.
"I was not planning to fall in love with Trace," she explained to country music blog The Boot in 2011. "A mutual friend of ours had me come out to hear him sing. The minute I saw him I knew that he would be a star."
Rhonda talked up Trace to her boss at the record label, but there was a slight hiccup. "I was so excited for him to meet the staff," she said. "Instead, we received a phone call that his wife had shot him through both lungs and both ventricles of his heart. I waited for about a week and then took some violets over to him. After that, I called him every few weeks just to check on him. I had no intention of ever dating him. It surprised both of us."
Later, it helped that the pair had been friendly first. "I think what makes a marriage work is marrying someone that is your friend," Rhonda shared. "We have weathered many storms together, but we have stayed strong."
The "You're Gonna Miss This" singer raved about his wife, too, particularly her influence on his career.
"She's my secret weapon," he told The Country Vibe blog in 2012. "It's almost unfair the advantage I have over all these other guys, having her in my corner. I don't do anything hardly in this business without talking to her first. I really don't."
Trace added, "I'd be foolish to not rely on her experience. She's been doing this stuff longer than I have. She's incredibly talented, and I've been the benefactor of that experience and that talent for years now."
Though they spoke well of each other publicly, the couple has gone through a lot privately as of late.
In January, Trace went to rehab for alcoholism after getting into a scuffle with a Trace Adkins impersonator on a country music-themed cruise he was performing on. He had been sober for a decade, following a 2002 intervention staged by Rhonda and his daughters.
Trace's rep did not immediately respond to Yahoo's request for comment.

Bone scanScintigraphy - bone
A bone scan is an imaging test that shows areas of increased or decreased bone turnover (metabolism).
How the Test is Performed
A bone scan involves injecting a radioactive material (radiotracer) into a vein. The substance travels through your blood to the bones and organs. As it wears off, it gives off a little bit ofradiation. This radiation is detected by a camera that slowly scans your body. The camera takes pictures of how much radiotracer collects in the bones.
If a bone scan is done to see if you have a bone infection, images may be taken shortly after the radioactive material is injected and again 3 to 4 hours later, when it has collected in the bones. This is called a 3-phase bone scan.
To evaluate metastatic bone disease, images are taken only after the 3 to 4 hour delay.
The scanning part of the test will last about 1 hour. The scanner's camera may move above and around you. You may need to change positions.
You will probably be asked to drink extra water after you receive the radiotracer to keep the material from collecting in your bladder.
How to Prepare for the Test
You must remove jewelry and other metal objects. You may be asked to wear a hospital gown.
Tell your doctor if you are or may be pregnant.
Do not take any medicine with bismuth in it, such as Pepto-Bismol, for 4 days before the test.
How the Test Will Feel
There is a small amount of pain when the needle is inserted. During the scan there is no pain. You must remain still during the examination, and you will be instructed when to change positions by the technologist.
You may experience some discomfort due to lying still for a prolonged period of time.
Why the Test is Performed
A bone scan is used to:
- Diagnose a bone tumor or cancer
- Determine if a cancer that began elsewhere in your body has spread to the bones; common cancers that spread to the bones include breast, lung, prostate, thyroid, and kidney.
- Diagnose a fracture, when it cannot be seen on a regular x-ray (most commonly hip fractures, stress fractures in the feet or legs, or spine fractures)
- Diagnose a bone infection (osteomyelitis)
- Diagnose or determine the cause of bone pain, when no other cause has been identified
- Evaluate metabolic disorders, such as osteomalacia, renal osteodystrophy, primary hyperparathyroidism, osteoporosis, complex regional pain syndrome, and Paget's disease
Normal Results
Test results are considered normal if the radiotracer moves evenly throughout all the bones in your body.
What Abnormal Results Mean
The images should show that the radioactive material has been evenly distributed throughout the body. There should be no areas of increased or decreased distribution. "Hot spots" are areas where there is an increased accumulation of the radioactive material. "Cold spots" are areas that have taken up less of the radioactive material.
If you are pregnant or nursing, the test may be postponed to prevent exposing the developing baby to radiation. If you must have the test while breastfeeding, you should pump and throw away the breast milk for the next 2 days.
The amount of radiation injected into your vein is very small, and nearly all radiation is gone from the body within 2 - 3 days. The radiotracer that is used exposes you to a very small amount of radiation. The risk is probably no greater than with routine or conventional x-rays.
Risks related to the bone radiotracer are rare, but may include:
- Anaphylaxis (severe allergic response)
- Rash
- Swelling
There is a slight risk of infection or bleeding when the needle is inserted into a vein.
Some abnormalities that may be identified on radionuclide bone scans include:
- Arthritis and other degenerative diseases of the bones
- Avascular necrosis
- Bone infections (osteomyelitis)
- Bone tumors
- Fibrous dysplasia
- Fractures
- Paget's disease
- Radiation changes
- Rickets
- Tumors that have spread from other parts of the body to the bone (metastatic disease)
It is important to understand that bone scan findings must be compared with other imaging studies, in addition to clinical information. You should always discuss the significance of abnormal findings with your health care provider.

i have a dell 6400 with its crappy broadcom 4311 and the wikis not helping, so anyone running pci-e laptop cards report in please:
model: dell 1390
chipset: BCM4311/BCM2050
part number: dell 1390 (i know IBM like to put long ass numbers on everthing)
standards: b/g
opinion: it sucks, like most broadcom equiptment its loud and deaf. and no injection.
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
ok there has to be more laptop users then me.
I'm assuming your problem with the 4311 is injection, you didn't really specify. If you can update aircrack to v 0.9, then your 4311 should do everything except the fragmentation attack.
i have a pci-e laptop with ipw2200. I've tryed many things but i cannot get bt2 to recognize my card.
i will most likey end up buying a pcmcia card...
i didn't want a "i have this card and it doesnt work" thread, i need a thread about cards that DO work.
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
Works on my Toshiba A135-S4727, OTB.
I went around and checked the "System Info" at various retailers to find one with an atheros card. I then actually talked the guy into letting me boot it with a BT cd before I bought it. It's amazing how well linux runs on most laptops, these days, if a little research is done prior to purchase. It took me much longer to downgrade vista to xp pro than it did to have Slackware with a custom kernel up and running.
Good Luck

Tarbell in 1887 called himself a conservative carpetbagger, one who found himself in the minority.
Mrs. Tarbell felt that she was going to acquit herself commendably.
She hardly heard a word of Mrs. Tarbell's speech to the jury.
Then Mrs. Tarbell bowed to the judge, and said, "That is my case, your honor."
His order had to be countersigned by Colonel Tarbell, and before he could get his signature the boat had left.
"I wish you joy," Mrs. Tarbell said, and went on down-stairs.
Mr. Pope and Mrs. Tarbell rose, bowed to each other and to the court: they were ready to go on.
He admired the technique of Mr. Tarbell and Mr. Benson; he prized their instruction.
Mrs. Tarbell knew that they were there, but did not look at them.
I don't say I shall ever be able to paint as well as they can; but I must be myself,—not an imitation Tarbell.

Pay it Forward: Gifted Hands spreads joy through quilts
Redmond group meets weekly, makes quilts for those in need
REDMOND, Ore. - Every Tuesday, the basement of a Redmond home turns into a quilting assembly line.
"This is our favorite day of the week because we get together and we are like a family," said quilter Elsie Hammer.
From cutting squares of fabric to sewing, and tying knots, the group of about a dozen calls themselves, fittingly, The Gifted Hands.
Since they started in 1994, the group has made more than 3,000 quilts.
But it's not all about the making, it's about the giving.
"Some of the stories we hear about people getting the quilts, and you just sit there and think, 'Oh, I am so glad I did that,'" Hammer said.
Each and every quilt is handmade and donated to different groups or people in need, on the High Desert and around the world.
"They are just so loving, and the people appreciate them so much," said member Betty Browning.
Browning's been with the group for a little over a year. She's seen the detail, devotion and love put into every quilt, and wants to see it continue.
Browning surprised the crew during their afternoon work time with $500 to pay it forward.
"I was just floored, because Betty told us that she nominated us, and I just thought, 'Oh, there are so many other people worthy of this.' So I was just floored," Hammer said.
Most of the materials are donated to the Gifted Hands, but the main material -- the batting used inside the quilts -- costs about $83 a roll, so the money is much needed, and appreciated.
"I can't think of anyone that would deserve this money more," Browning said.
Quilting for a cause ... and sewing with seams of love.
"We just like to pray over our quilts as we make them, because we know somebody is going to get them that needs them," Hammer said.

Listening is cool and shit." BlackdogMMA
Protein quality and volume in a supp is everything. Many 'top end' products have loads of shit like fillers, aspertame, unnecesarry fat and carbs in them.
Imho 90+ is the best on the market by FAR!!! Bodybuilding forums will confirm this also!
Good luck dude.
"Just Scrap!"
Twitter '@DWedz'
Myprotein Whey Isolate I use - that actually tastes better than the normal cheaper whey in my opinion, also on their website you can use the "compare us" box on the left and just stick in the url of other supplement sites and they will beat any prices - I have posted about this already on a thread in here with links to use n stuff. If you need a referall code gimme a shout - will pass you one over - no idea what they do - think i get some points, think you get some points - dunno, never used one lol..
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
90+ tastes bloody awful. Our 2 best sellers at the moment are
PNI Pure protein - Tastes frigging lovely
XL Whey - Tastes medium (better than 90+) cheap as chips
www.mmafactory.co.uk - Use discount code cagewarriors for 10% off your order
Its a good alternative that I used when prices rocket, but at £38 ish for 4kg is no cheaper than Steve's option for 90+ and nowhere near as good qulaity?!

Just ordered some from Myprotein, got 4kilo of Whey Isolate for about £40.50 - used the compare prices with Ironscience's website I think it was - just went through a load til I got one that reduced the isolate prices. Also got Creapure 1k for £19.90 or something.

i may have them on my site but myprotein's whey is shit ! its full of filler and shit lol i wouldnt use it . you probably shit out more than your body uses

KURT TIPPETT and his former club Adelaide have been charged with a series of rule breaches by the AFL, and will be summoned to appear before the commission next week.
The 25-year-old forward, who three years ago entered into a secret agreement with the Crows outside his standard contract, faces suspension or deregistration.
He will appear before the commission on two charges: conduct prejudicial to the draft and a breach of the AFL rules on total player payments.
The AFL's legal team contacted Tippett and the Crows last night to summon them to next week's commission meeting at AFL headquarters.
Adelaide is expected to plead guilty to conduct prejudicial to the draft, and having failed to disclose its role in third-party agreements worth $200,000. The club is understood to be working on an impassioned bid to minimise its penalty, which is expected to involve a six-figure fine and draft bans.
Tippett's manager Peter Blucher is not covered by AFL rules, and is expected to come before the AFL Players' Association's agents committee in the coming months. He also faces deregistration.
Tippett's last game for Adelaide came in the club's narrow 2012 preliminary final loss to Hawthorn. Last month he was on the verge of signing a four-year $4 million deal with Sydney before the issue of unwanted Swan Jesse White prevented a deal from taking place.
The Adelaide board has always claimed it had no knowledge of the secret agreement exposed by Fairfax Media, and only CEO Steven Trigg and former football boss John Reid knew of its existence.
Tippett remains hopeful of joining the Swans although Greater Western Sydney has publicly stated it will look at drafting Tippett, a move seemingly encouraged by head office.
Sydney has remained in constant contact with the increasingly devastated Queenslander, who was the highest paid player at Adelaide over the past three years in a deal that led to Reid's admission: ''We sold our soul when we did that deal.''
In the meantime, GWS coach Kevin Sheedy has earmarked Setanta O'hAilpin to take the place of departed fellow code-hopper Israel Folau in the Giants side.
Irishman O'hAilpin, 29, suffered a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament knee injury in his first senior game with the Giants last season but recently signed a new one-year contract.
With Folau returning to rugby league, a role has opened for O'hAilpin who played Gaelic football and hurling before starting his 81-game career at Carlton. ''His [O'hAilpin's] passion is brilliant, you can't beat it,'' Sheedy said ''He's one of the most passionate people I've met in AFL. He'll be our replacement for Folau.''
O'hAilpin said he was grateful for the chance. ''I've been fortunate to get another opportunity from the Giants, so hopefully I can repay their faith and have a good season,'' he said.

Angry Birds Star Wars

You have to hand it to Rovio. It's not been two weeks since the news broke that three new Star Wars movies are in the pipeline and already we have Angry Birds Star Wars, the latest outing for favourite band of frustrated fowl. It's much more than just a movie tie-in though – Angry Birds Star Wars is a successful mixture of all the best bits of Angry Birds so far, with new Star Wars-inspired weapons to shake up the gameplay and excellent Star Wars costumes thrown in for good measure. An HD version is also available for £2.99.
Contract Killer 2

Contract Killer 2 puts you in the shoes of Jack Griffin, a contract killer nearing the end of his career. It builds on the foundations of the first game, now giving you the ability to "sneak up" on your target before taking them out, and adding more story-based missions. The game mixes first-person shooting with third-person melee attacks, and offers up nine different chapters of gameplay based all over the world.
Knights of Pen & Paper
£1.25 Google Play
Knights of Pen & Paper is a retro-styled RPG, with turn-based battles and a whole host of customisable characters for you to make up your band of merry men with. You choose your battles, but of course the harder the battle, the bigger the reward. There are 100 quests to work your way through, all rendered in glorious pixel-art graphics that are redolent of 90s RPGs.

From the excitable brain of Fable creator Peter Molyneux comes Curiosity. Part massively multiplayer game, part social experiment, it sets players all over the world the task of chipping away at a cube in an attempt to get to the middle. What's in there, nobody knows, but Molyneux assures players that there's a "life-changing secret" at its core for the person who finally cracks it. The more of the cube you destroy, the more coins you earn to buy more destructive tools. As addictive as it is frustrating, we can't help but be intrigued about what Molyneux has up his sleeve this time. Hopefully it's a cure for RSI.
