    Diablo III Patch Prevents Players From Gaining XP

    I can't tell you why it fixes this particular problem. However, I can tell you that I have a digital copy, and I couldn't access the Real Money Auction House once it came online. I received a "gotta wait 3 days for digital copies" message for 5 days after the RMAH came online. The fix for...

    Show Me Your Journo-Face

    I would prefer that the journo-face be discarded for journalists to simply point out the bull that comes out of interviewees.

    Microsoft Bares Fangs to Block Apple Trademark

    That may well be the case. I'm not sure what you'd call the "windows" that open whenever you start a program in any OS. The key difference is that no one is trying to currently register the term "Windows" as a trademark. If you want to try to break into the OS market and use the term "Windows"...

    Microsoft Bares Fangs to Block Apple Trademark

    Firstly, trademarks and copyrights are two different things. How you get rights for each one in the US is different. Filing for rights isn't required in either case. Copyright rights come from creation of an original work. Trademark rights come from use in commerce of a mark that denotes the...

    Microsoft Bares Fangs to Block Apple Trademark

    That's not exactly a counter argument in the discussion at hand is it? I mean if you want to make and distribute an OS and put Windows in the name you can sue and try arguing that Windows is a generic term. However, I'm not sure that'd have any bearing either way on if app store is also...

    Microsoft Bares Fangs to Block Apple Trademark

    To people who claimed that since Apple made "app store" famous they should get rights; that's now how trademark law works. Generally first users do get the rights, but this is a case of mismanagement of a brand. I think that a strong argument could be made that Apple has let the term "app store"...

    Escape to the Movies: True Grit

    So, I haven't read through all the comments, but has it been completely forgotten that Michael Bay directed The Rock? I'm not a fan of any of his movies except for The Rock, but I'm curious to know if that's an exception or I'm still a douchebag.

    Test Your Mental Might With The Escapist's First-Ever Puzzle Adventure!

    The bolded article you're referring to doesn't have anything to do with the puzzle as far as I know. The author of the book review wasn't the author of the escapist article that people used to move forward in the puzzle if that's what you're talking about. My suggestion is to look around the...

    Test Your Mental Might With The Escapist's First-Ever Puzzle Adventure!

    And sometimes a semi-blind guess is the way to go. My only question, and if it'll give things away PM me, but is there an actual answer that goes in the url on the picture page? Or, is the answer taken straight from the pics? I'm honestly not sure that I see the exact relationship so if...

    Does anyone know who is in the golden framed picture? I think I can name all the others though I'm not really sure how that'd help either way. Nevermind got it. Thanks.

    Test Your Mental Might With The Escapist's First-Ever Puzzle Adventure!

    Funny thing is that I still have no idea what to do with it all since there's actually a Ceasar's Square code and a Caesar's cipher which are two completely separate things. Oh well, I'll figure something.

    Test Your Mental Might With The Escapist's First-Ever Puzzle Adventure!

    On # 1 Terran is a reference to game. And the line "we shall suffer no wounds" may be a reference to which codes we should use since Edit: Terran could be a reference to starcraft though it's unlike the other two in that it doesn't name the game. Though I can't find any codes for the game...

    I'm done for the night thanks for all the help again. I'd never heard of Dvorak layouts before; I'm not much of a PC gamer if you can't tell. Cheers all.
