Giving bad Karma, deleting posts, or otherwise just striking down users because they post things you don't personally agree with is a sure way to get people to leave. And if you don't care, that is A-OK. Pat yourselves on the back, chuckle at a job well done.
There is this thing called civil forfeiture - look it up. Don't carry cash or the government will steal it from you for no reason other than you have it and that want it.
Why not ban every copyrighted work name from the internet itself? That way not only can you not find anything to download that is illegal, you also wouldn't be able to find anything for sale or profit that was legal to buy. That's the ultimate solution. And then you could only buy a movie from WalMart after searching disc by disc through the 'for sale movie bin' for what you wanted.
er, no, software gaming for the PC runs on a 7-year development window. So as long as you upgrade what you have to something decent every 6 years you are perfectly ok.
You would need a 16Ghz pc to emulate a 2Ghz console like the PS4, so since we are still stuck at supercharged/super overclocked at 8Ghz, it can't happen yet.
We can't even emulate a PS3 or XBox or XBox360 yet. (no, Halo for Xbox - the only thing emulated on that console - doesn't count).
So I highly doubt they are concerned about emulating their PS4. Besides, they need games available for it and they need the hardware to be sold - which won't happen til around Christmas so you are jumping every gun here now.

Sony Announces the PS4

rice. It will probably cost $500. A similarly equipped Windows PC would be $1,000+
Ease of use. No viruses. No configuring software and hardware. Guaranteed game performance.
Long life. 7+ yrs of life cycle with no upgrades to play all games.
-end of quote-
er...I wouldn't count my chickens til they hatch. With the constant internet facebook integration, X86 processor, hard drive - what more do you need to create a virus for it? And don't forget sony's famous 'hacks of customer account information for millions of users' and denial of service attacks in the recent past.
Guaranteed game performance is also an issue - the videos they showed even during the unveiling today showed extreme framerate lagging during play as well as choppy and shaky cam techniques. I have games on the PS2 that frequently crash, lock up, and kill the system and I'd expect no less on a PS3 or PS4 either. The drive lasers wear out before 7 years I can guarantee that, and most hard drives have a 5-7 year warranty so your claim is unfounded unless it comes with a 7 year (instead of standard 1-year Sony warranty).
How do you know there will be no upgrades? Ever heard of Downloadable content? The Wii U even had a day 1 4GB download patch that filled half of the stock hard drive space (mandatory). I'd say you're ignoring the reality of the situation. And this PS4 won't even be available for actual SALE until November 2013 so you have a long wait to get your hands on one even if you wanted it. By Christmas this year, DDR4 will be available for the mainstream consumer, so already on launch day this PS4 will be obsolete and surpassed by the XBox720. Microsoft is smart and is holding off as long as possible to take the largest market share they can.
I'll file a patent for the storing and retrieval of data in some form. This would cover books, video, computers, and the human brain.
Now, give me my payments.... hey,nobody has ever heard of this because there are no records before I filed this patent right?
I need to upload this 8GB "Hibernation File" and then reboot the computer so I can gain access to it through this security hole... It'll just take me a minute or two to do that. So how stupid do they think people are to even advertise this 'major threat' ?
The Cray 2 was really fast, but 20 Punch Card readers in serial would be faster - is it faster than that?
How about is the iPod 2 faster than 300 people with pencils and paper with each one writing a letter of the alphabet?
What about people reading the law books? When they see a law about child abuse, it could also spark their fantasies to encourage the crime. Therefore, the law should exist, but be removed from all texts. DUH.
What you decide to do in this situation is part of defining who you are. If you want to lie, if you want to be honest, if you don't want to say anything, it's up to you.
So if the city has no crime and police continually appear to be obsolete, when the fighting breaks out how do they suddenly have thousands of police officers fighting in the streets? Yeah, it's a movie, it's a fantasy, realism goes out the window and then Michael Bay shows up...
Why stop at IPv6? Certainly, every forseeable limitation has been exceeded in the past, so why not instantly make the jump to IPv240,000 and be done with it til the end of time? This every 30 years needing to upgrade and update the world's computers sure does get old.
Here's what tyo do about it - ask your ISP or employer to move to IPv6.
Not very convincing, not very informative, the article was more blab than useful information. What a waste - both the situation, and the article.

Last I heard complaints pertaining to life choices belong on Facebook.

Since this new planet is slightly larger than the moon, then doesn't this mean Pluto is a planet again?

WickedLasers has the parts, and then you just mold a piece of plastic and relocated the power switch. Not impressive in the slightest.
Doesn't this belong in the egotistical self-delusioned celebrity section?
Make more ethanol, and the world will continue to starve.

HA and my managers at Time Warner Cable always said that cable tv was a recession-proof industry! They are really smart people.
The US will now sub-source the contract to India. :) More profits!!!
TAIA - maybe have the game controlled by the Shake Weight (as seen on TV)

The white house still reserves the right to deny whatever the petition demands. They've done it before.

It's much more likely they would be used to disable or destroy other spy or communications/command & control satellites than to deflect an asteroid...
