) From what I can tell it looks very unlikely that Sony will win this lawsuit. The judge(s?) is/are already questioning/denying certain requests and [insert proper legal terms here] by Sony. Such as whether or not the court actually has jurisdiction on this case in California.-Deozaan (January 22, 2011, 05:27 AM)
But it's not "low-quality" content. It's STOLEN content. To me, that seems like spam.-Renegade (January 22, 2011, 05:36 AM)
I disagree. If I understand your description of these sites that rip content from other sites, the content is still relevant to your search terms. You just don't like (and I agree with you!) that these thieves are getting ad revenue instead of you being linked to the original source.
It's not spam, it's plagiarism. Or copyright violation or something. But not spam.-Deozaan (January 22, 2011, 05:44 AM)
January brought a spate of stories about Google’s search quality. Reading through some of these recent articles, you might ask whether our search quality has gotten worse. The short answer is that according to the evaluation metrics that we’ve refined over more than a decade, Google’s search quality is better than it has ever been in terms of relevance, freshness and comprehensiveness. Today, English-language spam in Google’s results is less than half what it was five years ago, and spam in most other languages is even lower than in English. However, we have seen a slight uptick of spam in recent months, and while we’ve already made progress, we have new efforts underway to continue to improve our search quality.
,,,
One misconception that we’ve seen in the last few weeks is the idea that Google doesn’t take as strong action on spammy content in our index if those sites are serving Google ads. To be crystal clear:
* Google absolutely takes action on sites that violate our quality guidelines regardless of whether they have ads powered by Google;
* Displaying Google ads does not help a site’s rankings in Google; and
* Buying Google ads does not increase a site’s rankings in Google’s search results.
These principles have always applied, but it’s important to affirm they still hold true.
Hey Renegade:However, there are so many varieties of Soju Flower that identifying them is simply a monumental task. One is better off just giving a rough guess at its genus and phlegm.

Simply put, Sony claims that it's illegal for users to access their own computers in a way that Sony doesn't like. Moreover, because the CFAA has criminal as well as civil penalties, Sony is actually saying that it's a crime for users to access their own computers in a way that Sony doesn't like.
That means Sony is sending another dangerous message: that it has rights in the computer it sells you even after you buy it, and therefore can decide whether your tinkering with that computer is legal or not. We disagree. Once you buy a computer, it's yours. It shouldn't be a crime for you to access your own computer, regardless of whether Sony or any other company likes what you're doing.

Objects get GC'ed "at some point after there's no longer any references to them", which could mean aeons after they "go out of scope"... but it can even happen within the method where the variable referencing the object was initially allocated.
True. Remember, too, though, that there is such as thing as memory pressure, which refers to the fact that the more objects there are in memory, the more often garbage collection occurs. Not sure how much more often.-kyrathaba (January 21, 2011, 10:59 AM)
My current pains actually involve BitmapFrame classes, so unless that isn't used by WinForms either, you might be up for some pain yet. It is a tried and true disaster, yessir.For now, I'd be happy enough to be rid of the crashes.
Edit:
Does the Bitmap.FromFile() call (or whatever) happen to use the System.Windows.Media.Imaging namespace? I think that one is WPF specific, but if it does there might be a solution in there. (I've been hating that one more than plenty so far.)-worstje (January 21, 2011, 11:01 AM)
If this really takes off, it would be cool to release it as the first-ever massive-group-effort N.A.N.Y. app.-kyrathaba (January 21, 2011, 08:56 AM)
NANY 2011 is over and next one is after 9 months (to code for). But.. what if I am itching to code new apps before that ?
Is there a way where I can post for new apps and get suggestions ?-anandcoral (January 21, 2011, 03:25 AM)
Although it seems completely logical to say we should first pick a type of game, then choose the right tools for the job, I'm not sure that will work.
I think what we have here is a case where:
- It's find to brainstorm multiple potential games that could be created.
- To actually get a game coded, its going to require a single coder to step up and say "I like idea X and will lead this project" and "It will be coded in language P since that is the language I'll be doing most of the coding in"
So in other words, the primary driving factor here is having a program champion an idea+language, and take charge of getting it done, with help from the rest of us. And there is no reason there just has to be one game idea that goes forward. The key is finding and inspiring the lead programmers for the games though!-mouser (January 21, 2011, 02:19 AM)
You got a reply... something about building your own script bridge, whatever that is. And you're not the only one on the fence...-wraith808 (January 20, 2011, 10:46 PM)
Well considering they just made the announcement late last night, I'm under the impression that the $99 price is going to be valid for at least a few weeks still.
EDIT:Well, if I can use C# (easily), I'll buy. Need to figure that one out...Also, I already own Torque 2D, so I could have told you that the engine is written in C++ and it uses a scripting language called TorqueScript. No (easy) way to interface it with C# that I know of.-Renegade (January 20, 2011, 10:04 PM)-Deozaan (January 20, 2011, 10:49 PM)
