So they are invalid because it points out for all to see the huge whole in your argument? Besides, anyone who has been to Newzbin can clearly see that there is a huge bias towards indexing copyrighted material. Or do you actually have proof to the contrary?
Yeah, except for that tiny and important deal that Google's indexer is completely passive while this was a site that was recruiting people to actively go out and provide the links that their site indexed.
So then you have no problems with people violating the copyrights to GPL code, right? How dare you advocate that the government controls my ability to take whatever I want from whomever I want!
But...but...they're just sharing Linux ISOs and public domain movies!! Pay no attention to the fact 99.9% of the listings are for movies from MPAA members!
Did the help guides specifically say they help you find MPAA owned/copyrighted movies, or just movies in general?
Which is a meaningless distinction when pretty all of them (I'm sure it would be safe to say 99.9+%) are from MPAA members. I can't tell if you're either extremely naive or just intentionally stupid. This is almost as laughable as when everyone tries to make it seem like bittorrent is only being used to transfer Linux ISOs and public domain movies/music.
Flash will be pushed more and more to the margins if HTML 5 takes off. Frankly there are lot of benefits to dropping Flash once you don't need it for Video. Security is probably the biggest. Getting rid of Flash drops an attack vector you must worry about and keep updated.
How does dropping flash for HTML5 remove an attack vector? It just replace one attack vector with another.
Except that the constitution has this clause that you seem to miss that says they conduct the census "in such Manner as they shall by Law direct." And Title 13 allows them to collect such statistics. So basically you're wrong.
Look like someone needs to actually read the section again:
Article 1, Section 2: "The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct."
This end part of the section explicitly gives them the power to ask for other information as it is directed by law.
When two people solve the same mathematical problem, it's not all too surprising that they tend to arrive at the same solution.
And yet, in many cases they don't. If people always tended to arrive at the same conclusion there wouldn't be, for example, a whole variety of different search algorithms and then subsequent variety of optimizations to those original algorithms.
The point is that at least one of those games deserves mention in a "Top 10 games of all time" list as the GGGGP was saying. You know, the article which was the whole topic of this submission?
That should have been mentioned, it was the RTS that started it all.
Actually Stonkers from 1982 is considered one of the precursors to the RTS genre. But the first seminal RTS to set the standards that are still used by modern RTS games was Dune 2 in 1992. This was 6 years before Starcraft came out.
You're kidding right? Tetris was created on an Elektronika 60 and then ported to the IBM PC and then to other computer systems before it ever hit the GameBoy.
If the console version becomes widely popular, lots of people will look for the PC version
Why do you assume this?
and find the open-source project, and hopefully learn something about open-source.
Doubtful. The vast, vast, vast majority of people won't know or care that the programs they use are open source. They will know it's a "freeware" program and that's the limit of their knowledge.

Like Windows XP with its lack of window scaling.
What are you talking about? There are all sorts of tweaking tools that let you enabled window scaling in Windows XP.

ISPs aren't and never have been common carriers. This is a widespread falsity spread around by Slashdotters.
How is isoHunt passive? People post the links to the content that isoHunt indexes. It's not automatic.

Because it wasn't part of the contest due to its extremely small market share.
There's a lot of research around (see seL4 microkernel or Coyotos for example), but results rarely finds its way into mainstream products.
Because it takes 10 times as long to write code that is totally formally verified?
I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on these motherfucking planes!

What does copyright have to do with patents?
When two people solve the same mathematical problem, it's not all too surprising that they tend to arrive at the same solution.
And yet, in many cases they don't. If people always tended to arrive at the same conclusion there wouldn't be, for example, a whole variety of different search algorithms and then subsequent variety of optimizations to those original algorithms.
Or, you know, such things could just be uniform across the whole country since it's less asinine that way.
Because algorithms just get plucked out of thin air, right?
Hell even Warcraft predates Command & Conquer.

Exactly how do you see source code from a gameplay video?
