Then why are infringing copies available on PP2P2P2PP2P for zero bells? Why does infrastructure cost money only if the copyright owner authorizes a particular act of distribution?

What will entice people to run TV out of their Lenovo-compatible PCs? More gamepad-friendly PC games published by indie developers?

You mean like this dual-screen gaming rig?

The GOP (Grand Old Party, a nickname for the Republican Party) is thought of as a "conservative" party. However, the top ranks of the GOP nowadays are full of neoconservatives. So if the party of conservatives is called the GOP, then why can't the party of neoconservatives be called the neo-GOP? At least it's better than calling them neo-con artists.

NO!
gotta love that screenshot :D

So no REAL surprises, but not being able to close your browser if someone happens to pop into the room is dangerous! :)

THIS is what happened in the interim.

needs to be doing stuff for me, a Californian. I want her to get us off of using Oil, not

I don't think you represent the majority. Clearly, the majority of people in California elect leaders because they're entertaining. Why else elect the governator?

I imagine she's got an bill in the works to put giraffes in the air (possibly nsfw, but no explicit imagery), and another one (in conjunction with the governor) to officially change the pronunciation of California to "Cal-ee-phone-ee-ah."

Not that my state is much better...some of us Floridians have difficulty even voting right.

So...maybe this is a joke? I like to think so.

Fallacy #1: it's obvious that this wouldn't be universally used. It wouldn't be used by anyone malicious. Or, it would be used maliciously to confuse stuff, tagging all the stuff that's OK to see as NSFW and the not-OK stuff remains untagged.

So, that leaves us to assuming each website will decide to use it or not use it. And this really applies only to sites where all content is just internally created, not externally. So, BoingBoing could use it (no reader comments) but not Slashdot (reader comments: see Fallacy #1).

Now... How many sites truly mix NSFW material with safe-for-work material? From the sites I visit, most are either clearly on one side or the other, especially when it comes to content generated by the site's owners. I'm sure we could come up with dozens, hundreds, perhaps thousands of exceptions. But that amounts to a miniscule amount of all sites.

And for the most part, those sites already have those filters made, internally. One example is YTMND: if the content is deemed NSFW by users, the domain of the particular entry turns into YTMNSFW.com. YouTube has this too. Some content is "blocked" and you need to sign in to see it. Or Google Image Search. So, Fallacy #2: the redudancy becomes redundant. That's Fallacy #2.

Fallacy #3: NSFW doesn't mean the same to all people. A picture of Madonna and Britney Spears kissing might be appropriate (or encouraged) in some work places, wink-wink-OK in others, or not appropriate at all. Same goes for a mother breastfeeding a child or pictures of a violent crime scene. Then you've got stuff that's completely safe at home or at a library but some workplaces may not want: non-pay poker sites, online gaming, sports sites, etc. So unless there's going to be a lot of different NSFW tags it's kind of useless.

The idea of it is a good one. But it can be done already and it's in use. If a website really wants to have something like it, there's easier ways to accomplish that than invent a NSFW tag and wait around for browsers to implement it.

I thought that was what the "[ytmnd.com]" was for, right? If you're not familiar with YTMND, see YTMND on Wikipedia and YTMND's wiki (silent). Then see Defective DS and The Pooh and Wii Song for more Nintendo-related examples. Yes, yes!

What happened is that Hakkar(the boss of Zul'Gurub), has a disease that players can spread to other nearby players, or npcs. The disease was supposed to be removed upon leaving the instance, but hunter pets carried back to town and everyone was getting the disease because NPCs in the towns got infected, so you couldnt go near a town without getting the disease. They have since changed it so the disease only works inside the zul'gurub instance and doesn't affect pets..

There was something like that in WoW. News article about it.

LoL, Global Warming.

should actually be a poplar joke.

I think 'generator sites' and stuff like YTMND or Objection! would be useful to investigate because there's a big cross section of users and influences all coming together to create wild and varied (well... maybe just wild then) content.

And this is an excellent version of this game - not the shitty Tetris Worlds that was released a few years ago for all the consoles.

Unfortunately, Henk made Nintendo put infinite spin into Tetris DS just like in Tetris Worlds.

""The Microsoft Internet Explorer Team sent the Firefox team a cake for the release of Firefox 2!"

And being the nerds they are, it was baked into the shape of Counselor Troi. The Firefox nerds, now trendy Galactica fans, merely laughed at the nerds who were so out of it as to still love "Star Trek".

That's Ha ha!

So what do you tell kids who get punished when challenging what a teacher says? How about when their science teacher at a public school tells that that the bible has the _true_ answers?

Forget that, what do you tell kids who get punished when challenging their teacher's statements that a km is greater than a mile?

The letter is suspicious, and it's not clear that it should be taken at face value, but...

This is the song that doesn't end...

...yes it goes on and on my friend
Some people, started singing it not knowing what they'd done
And they'll continue singing it forever just because
This is the song that doesn't end...

Beat that.

Duh

This scheme demonstrates just why it's NOT worth $599. The pricing is all wrong. The online service is just one more gimmick that will fail...and because of its cost.

You sure it's not this?

what does this have to do with interrupted signals?

DS cartridge insurance.

I've read articles about salespeople pushing extended warranties on the Tetris DS game card. Could it be because Tetris DS actually is broken, what with the infinite spin rule that takes all the challenge out of single player and the counterintuitive T-spins required for competitive play?

For those of you who didn't RTFA and don't want to, here it is summed up:

http://googleconquest.ytmnd.com/

Tetris (GBA) [...] They also require very little effort to enjoy and don't require you to mash buttons for the sake of mashing buttons.

O RLY? The Tetris brand game for Game Boy Advance was Tetris Worlds, the first to use the so-called Super Rotation System that allows such wonderful cattle manure as infinite spin and T-spin triples. No wonder reviewers called it broken. Worse than that, the GBA version of TW had noticeable lag from when the player pressed a button to when the game reacted. Tetris DS is no different, except at least the lag is gone.

Or are you talking about homebrew?
