  • Sega alleges infringements of the following five patents: No. 5930111, No. 6402953, No. 6891987, No. 7297361 and No. 7411307, all of which are registered in Japan.

    I tried checking out that first patent there, 5930111 and who boy… is this shit hard to read

    An information processing device includes: a control means for causing the player to acquire a content in response to a game execution instruction from the player; an extraction means for extracting content groups of the same type from contents possessed by the player, according to an instruction from the player; a selection means for automatically selecting fusion source contents and resource contents from each of the extracted content groups; and a fusion means for collectively fusing, for each of the fusion source contents, one of the resource contents of the same type as the each of the fusion source contents. The selection means selects, as the resource contents, contents having a rarity at or below a specific level, from each of the extracted content groups.



  • At least it appears to be something that gets triggered. In theory, if a node is not under attack or heavy usage, this isn’t a consideration. Doesn’t seem to be a perfect solution as it still slows the traffic of legitimate users in the event of an attack. I don’t know the full details, but in the worse case it makes it easier to semi-DoS, maybe not by fully making a node unresponsive, but by making the service so painfully slow that users may give up on it.

    There are several reserved names in Windows. This is for backwards compatibility with mostly DOS programs. On your desktop, try and create a folder named “con”, and Windows should flat-out refuse. (Same thing for “prn”, “aux” and “nul”)












  • Had something similar happen with indiegala. Had an account with them for years, then one day, could not purchase some games randomly. Hit up their support and got the answer “Oh, the purchase was denied because your account’s email address is detected as a temporary email address”… The email address I’ve been using on that account… for years… Is temporary.
