Yes, the same can be said about Java and Flash but they all have a proprietary license. What I like the approach of Native Client is it's more general and can be applied to a wide range of applications. It'll probably also end up as an open standard too. There's also verification of of code like in Java, which is nice when you consider the potential security problems of running untrusted code.Unity already allows more or less that already….
Not using the internet??? Like people stop using it? That's not going to happen. It's too integrated into society now.
If you get infected by a dozen worms every time you plug into the internet you'll stop all right.
It depends on the people. Like those who just see it as a tool, nothing more.
If you get infected by a dozen worms every time you plug into the internet you'll stop all right. I would hope that it won't come to that but, to stop it, security is going to have to be cranked up.
There are already solutions for secure packet trafic but that wont stop email spam. For software updates there are also solutions ready like certificates. The only way to solve this problem is to turn your computer into a console. Now, is that something you really want?Hmmm… I think I would put the doomsday scenerio down there around 10%. Thing is, to make it stop, I think the powers that be are going to have to make some fundamental changes to packet structure (can you digitally sign a packet?) and how packets get on the network. They will be working hard to make it as invisible to the users as possible but, without really knowing what they need to do, I can't guess how much games will have to change to accomidate. Hopefully not much.
And VtM: Bloodlines will be patched to version 14.6.Also Grimoire will finally be released!!
