The game that spawned the online 3d FPS genre. The game that first popularized modding, CTF mode, teamfortress, and the other modes still in use in various quake descended games today. The grandfather of halo, counter-strike, and everything in the future. The game that defined a generation.
Up untill today there is still Quake 1 servers online.
In the U.S. Republic, concerned citizens document police abuses with videotape to expose corruption (rodney king case).
In Soviet Amerika, police power is abused to harass innocent advocating sunshine law and open government (this case).
I for one, welcome our new orwellian overlords.
Phew! That makes me feel better.......not I think the bigger issue here is not how long google holds privacy invading data on all of our web browsing habits (and email, personal calendar and personal documents via gmail's all-inclusive new features) which is scary, but the fact that the government is doing all of the above via secretly subpoeaning ISP's, apparently they have the ability to monitor all traffic and reconstruct data as viewed on targeted clients from packet stream analysis and tying it in with every other database they are building:
In 2002, for example, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)--the same branch of the Pentagon that created the beginnings of the Internet--proposed an ambitious Internet surveillance system termed Total Information Awareness (TIA). TIA would, according to DARPA, not only allow access to the content of virtually the whole Internet, but would enable the government to integrate that information with data gained by virtually any other means: wiretaps, criminal and other public records, on-line shopping habits, credit-card use, auto-mated tollbooth data, cell-phone calling records, and so on. TIA bids for information omniscience.
In the meantime, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) routinely employs the Carnivore program for Internet surveillance of individuals. Carnivore, whose use has been publicly acknowledged by the FBI since June 2000, is classified as a "high-speed packet sniffer" (a term explained below). It is part of a larger surveillance toolbox called the Dragonware Suite. Dragonware is comprised of three software tools: Carnivore, Packeteer, and Coolminer. No public information about Packeteer and Coolminer is available, but some experts assert that these programs organize the information collected by Carnivore and analyze it for various patterns (probably under the guidance of human users).
The problem is they keep all your search results, with tracking cookie. Google is in bed with the CIA: http://www.disgrunt.com/blog/2006/10/27/former-int elligence-agent-says-google-in-bed-with-cia/
Have any of you guys seen the new gmail? I won't use it...it has a built in calendar, word processor, and of course, permanent email storage, converge this with permanent tracking cookies, logs of all search requests from your IP, and of course google earth/maps (will go live eventually as the technology changes) and you have the recipie for total uncontrolled surveillance.
I think Zonk had a Kent Brockman moment, he saw HP taking market share and took it from there, posting the article was basically his way of saying "I for one welcome our new, top-selling PC-making overlords."
the inclusion of blu-ray in this PC (despite its limited production quantity) affects or has effected PS3 production, and if so, what are sony's priorities?
Touche, the sky being darkened is from the Matrix.
T2 had the same concept of a smart computer system taking over, but instead caused a nuclear holocaust.
Haha, nice Terminator2 reference.
Its true though, while I'm glad that Google is being progressive and responsible with their energy needs, the fact is they are becoming more and more invasive of users privacy, such as keeping cookis untill 2038, and storing data on searches by IP and keeping it, the horrendous desktop search tool, etc.
It doesnt' make much imagination to see the nefarious potential for the convergence between cataloging the contents of an individuals desktop computer, keeping records of all his google searches, his email, and yes, even tracking by satellite (how long untill google earth goes live).
But so long as they use solar power, everything will be fine...
Not.
This is a disturbing trend; in the anonymous information age, trust is the only way to guarantee security. Prediction: anticipate alot more 'orwellian' security implementations, retina, fingerprint etc. to ensure traceable DNA identification of infiltrators from within organization who spread virii or covert trojan operations.
This is why Open Source is the future, in a closed source project/organization, only those who have the knowledge can perceive compromisation, but with Open Source software the world communtiy of geeks can verify that code is secure. Similarly, a more open trust based corporate model might better deter trojan aggressors.
Narrator: In A.D. 2006, Youtube was happening

In modern America, researchers search for cures to genetic disease
in Soviet Russia, the party cures your genetic defect called life...by sending you to the gulag for "research"
Despite the hubbub on here, this is not the end of Free Speech. In a wild west internet where anyone can say anything about anyone, I for one am pleased to see some law and order imposed.
damnit how ironic this post was a blooper I forgot the all important HTML tags...heres how its supposed to be formatted:

I've been using FireFox since 0.8 and I'll never go back to IE...its a distant memory now, popups etc...
I never get popups anymore, and tabbed browsing is simply a must. Glory be to Firefox!

Tie this all in patriot act, they can get all this without a warrant, and detain you indefinitely without trial...

I for one welcome our chapter-11 filing, phoenix arising, outdated graphic system producing overlords.
...without having to deal with ninja looters, the increasing lowered exchange rate of WoW gold to US$, and PvP n00bs...
the inclusion of blu-ray in this PC (despite its limited production quantity) affects or has effected PS3 production, and if so, what are sony's priorities?
...welcome our web-raging, pick-axe wielding overlords (c'mon, it was inevitable..if I didn't say it, someone else would).

This will lead to overly cluttered hard drives, with never having to delete files it'll take more work to keep it organized.
And the real question: Will it have Linux drivers?
