Long time ago I've read about ink-jet inks whose primary requisite was to guarantee a perfectly constant fluidity, or else they'd close the printing head holes, forcing to replace it.
I don't know if it's for real, neither if that highly reflect on manufacturing costs, but seems reasonable to me.
Besides, I'd take a laser printer any day if I'd have to choose.
What's wrong with the District of Delaware's website? It brings the informations you may look for into your browser for you to read, so its purpose is fullfilled.
And as a bonus it doesn't hog your CPU down or fill your tubes.
This ruling is just the confirmation of an original one enacted last summer (and promptly suspended) which imposed all major ISPs to block traffic at DNS level. Any user using OpenDNS or his own DNS (or GDNS today) wouldn't be affected. This is nothing more than the perfect italian way to make politics: life goes on just like before, but the big guys can say that something has beeen done. (Yes, i live in italy and feel ashamed of that)
Didn't read TFA yet (already slashdotted?), but I think I've encountered one working "unwanted program" under Wine lately.
If I recall correctly, the vector was the setup or the program itself for a peer to peer TV system, which I wanted to try under wine.
Once launched, some unwanted processes kept popping out, and the command reported by ps was stuff like "wine C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\asasaazasdax.exe" or similar. Suspect at first look.
Actually I don't remember which one between "killall wine" or "kill -KILL " solved the issue.

Seems strange nobody yet mentioned the linuX-gamers' website.
It has an extensive list of games of all genres, indexed per category.
In addition to the many good titles already submitted by other posters, I would like to mention Savage: the Battle of Newerth. It is a quite old game (2003, if memory serves me well), got open-sourced when original publisher rolled out the sequel, but latest mod is kept closed-sourced.
It's a mixed FPS/RTS game, OpenGL, multiplatform (Windows, Linux and Mac [there were issues with previous mods, seems resolved with latest]), online-only cooperative game wich faces humans and beasts with the goal of destroyng enemy's main building. One player per team takes role of "commander", and plays the game RTS (Startcraft-style), and the other people play on the field, in FPS mode.
There are buildings, enchantments, AI controlled workers and many many more.
I mentioned mods: developement of the game continued by third parties (community-driven, at most) to keep it up-to-date. Latest "stable" is the SFE (Savage Full Enchantment), while there's the almost-released XR (at rc1 stage, or rc2... iirc).
All can be found at the community site Newerth, officially backed-up and supported by S2Games, the original publisher. Downloads from the home page are directly for the XR. In the menu donwload section there are others aswell.
*Disclaimer*: I'm not affiliated to the site/organization in any way except for the fact that I'm a registered user, in quality of gamer.
An old Athlon@800MHz with a Nvidia FX5200 was sufficent to make it playable. Actual hardware should not suffer from any inconvenience. But keep in mind XR introduced use of hardware shaders (among with other visual improvements) which may raise the bar.
After all those years I still like this game: its unique mix, in comunion with many really good players (and many many many more newbs;) make me still enjoy loggin-in for a few rounds.
1) the Mafia IS in Rome. Which incidentally is the where the Government resides. And the Papal State too.
Why this? Where there's money to be made and/or power to be gained, there's Mafia.
2) if for some pervert reason some of these people get caugth and prosecuted, what happens to the other dozens publicly known dumpings?
I know and explicitly referring to the Phosphogypsum, Pyryte ashes and Bauxite sludge dumps occurred in the '70 and '80 all over the Venetian hinterland, where later entire residential districts were built, as well as over all the northern Adriatic sea, performed by a wide variety of firms gravitating around the local chemical processing plant.
And the same ones,not satisfied with all this mess, then crossed the borders: first reports are from '80s (google translation), and entire regions (google translation) gained some non invidiable records.
That's all in the name of the God of Profit: dumping stuff here and there is always cheaper than a correct disposal.
Disclaimer: yes, I live in Venetia hinterland and I, as almost the rest of the population, am aware of all this from decades.
Moral: that's the way it goes. Get used to that or migrate.
100 million typical PC users will have the chance to read a page (or two) of simple instructions on how to use the commandline FTP. Don't you think this will make them "better" users?
And, as a bouns, a tiny fraction of them may like the idea, and may study the issue more in depth.

Won't solve the bad drivers issue though.

How much one would be payed?
I believe "volunteer" does not imply "free" (gratis).

Redundancy.
You said that: nothing happens to these people.
Prevalent reasons are two:
1) the Mafia IS in Rome. Which incidentally is the where the Government resides. And the Papal State too.
Why this? Where there's money to be made and/or power to be gained, there's Mafia.
2) if for some pervert reason some of these people get caugth and prosecuted, what happens to the other dozens publicly known dumpings?

Totally off-topic, of course, but always interesting.
