    This reminds me of http://www.grepcode.com/ , which I used a lot before I had an environment that auto-downloaded source. I really like that grepcode lets you see which version and…

    I think the key is knowing what high school she went to. From there, you could possibly get yearbook pictures and student lists. Knowing an approximate age would narrow the possibi…

    Personally, I don't see games the same as other software. Generally, they are more like content (movies, music, etc). Especially in the world of game consoles, where the games come…
