    So its the PROTESTORS fault? Way to blame the victim for a crazy person not being able to contain themselves. WE live and die for freedom of speech, you might want to watch your fucking socialist mouth.

    I wonder how you would feel if your local police started shooting at you because the person standing next to you at the bus stop is wanted for murder. I mean it would be your own fault for being so close to a known criminal right?

    You cannot STEAL land, it is taken and held by force alone. This is called military conquest, and is a completely legitimate form of ownership.

    Most of the people in the scene will tell you that the PS3 wasnt cracked for 4 years because the truly skilled people that crack this stuff were being hands off about it. Once Sony went into full on evil mode, all bets were off.

    Black Mesa is not an 'open source' remake. Its a total conversion mod (remember back when we were allowed to actually modify games?).

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mod_(computer_gaming)#Total_conversion

    "Since most total conversions only share the engine in common with the original game, if the engine becomes Free Software, the total conversion can be playable without having to own the original game."

    Black Mesa will require you to own at least one Source engine game.

    Im sorry, but i need to point out that 'provides an appealing user experience' is pretty much the CORE of ubiquitous computing. Its far more important then you are making it out to be. Implementation is just as important as vision

    The ends DO NOT justify their means. Patenting life and then suing when it spreads is unambiguously EVIL.

    Quadrotor systems is the solution to this issue. I suspect that over time RC helicopter use will decline as quadros come on the scene more and more. Also, couldnt even regular RC helicopter be fitted with auto stabilization like the quadros?

    Pissing off a world power is a crime in the real world. Its not right or just, but it is how the world works. When you are a sovereign, you are allowed to make up the rules as you go along.

    THey do not have free speech. Its a sham. The land lines they run their business on and the airwaves they use are owned by US. WE THE PEOPLE. They LEASE the right to operate from US. We can tell demand of them anything we want, and it will still be constitutional

    Motorcycles are one safety ruling away from being made illegal. Motorcycles straight up wouldnt be allowed on fully automated roads. Its an unsafe machine at highway speed in a world where we force people in engineered crumples to still wear seat belts.
