I'll have a respectful dialogue with a christian if I can find one that isn't busy looking down their nose at me for not believing. The idea appears to be very black and white, speaking as an athiest.
For those of us without flash (no flash client for my platform), do I have to give you money to find out what you're talking about? Red flag there if so.
"avid gamers couldn't stand G4 but I decided to at least see what was on it and agreed with them in 3 hours that basicially all they would show was...
1) games running in demos against techno music 2) rehashed gaming related shows (GameproTV, Some old Arcade game show I cant remember the name of, ETC) 3) Other original shows that were either boring, stupid or both."
"It'll work obviously: my headline on this story mentions Suprnova, and so will hundreds of websites around the world in the coming days."
Yep. You couldn't have chosen another title for the article that wouldn't have worked for them. Nope. Had to go with that one. And then complain that it's just a marketing scheme. Yep. I'm feeling really sorry for you for being duped here!
"We're back with 10 new suspect "phish" fresh from our collection - all actually received by real people like you. Whether you're brand new or a repeat tester, the question is the same: If you received one of these emails in your inbox - what would you do?"
My answer is, of course, I'd read it if it was related to a company I do business with, and then go to their website (on my own) to find out what's going on. I would not ever click a link in the email. Parsing emails for HTML is about the most braindead thing ever.
Personally, I don't think there's really anything "wrong" with unix.
Now, if you asked me "What is wrong with Linux?" I would have several answers. Same with "What is wrong with FreeBSD?" so you don't think I'm just a BSD bigot. But "unix"? It's hard to pin anything on the generic term "unix".
Someone, after obtaining root, could place a backdoor in/opt/aaaaaaaa/bin called something that's found in/opt/whatever/bin later on. Even if you removed their root access, you might miss the backdoor. (Yeah, there are ways to try and detect this sort of thing, but it's not worth the risk).
Eh, they *can* plan but they choose not to. They choose to cut corners everywhere throughout the year, hoping that some christian holiday will save them (the messiah!). It's a bunch of finger crossing and it doesn't need to be.
It's amazing to me how much energy has been spent trying to convince us that airport security is better now, and how not having nail clippers and stuff on planes is making us safe, and yet they still can't get something as basic as "put the bag on the plane with the passenger" done right.
I have a lot of games I like to play, two shelves worth, stacked two rows deep each (thanks to the smaller game boxes, and throwing out some boxes entirely). Searching through those to find the CD I want is what I'd categorize as "not fun" -- and games are supposed to be fun.
People like you give computer game manufacturers approval for inane requirements like EULAs.
I haven't, it's such a pain to go through everything necessary just to get it running. I will give it a shot tonight, though. I did enjoy the game when I finally got in to it.
"And you dont have to worry about no-cd patches, as its already a cd'less game."
Huh. What? My copy requires I put in the CD to play, even though I'm signed up through Steam. Another reason I don't play this game very often -- what a pain.
How do you get it so you don't have to put the CD in to play the game, other than a no-cd patch?
Or does what you're saying only apply to those who bought the game online?
"I can see it being used across the board as the main deterrant of pirating games."
Well, speaking for myself (of course), it's sure been a good deterrant for playing the game. Doing the disable-network start-steam wait-forever-for-it-to-time-out enable-network just to get it running is a pain in the ass. (If I don't do that, it takes even longer for it to time out against the Valve servers, if my Internet connection is down)

World's Shortest P2P App: 15 lines just over the middle of the page.
Yep. Lots and lots of people listen to this music.
Just because you don't listen to it doesn't mean they aren't part of the music industry.
The music industry will not allow Apple or anyone else to sell digital music online without DRM.
Yes they will. eMusic.com sells mp3s, out of San Diego CA. MP3s for 1/4 the price you'd pay at iTunes per track.

"But any money that come in (no matter how) is good money for they peoples over there in tsunami land."
Unless that money goes to the Red Cross, yeah.
No problem. With all this power, I'm sure we can float up a giant fan to create more wind!
I have a whole batch of $1000 dollar bills -- if you buy them in bulk, I'll give you a discount, let's say $750 a piece?

A general fix would hardly be enough to get the light to shine into the cockpit for 10 seconds.
Blocking HTML mail at the server would be a good start.
Huh. What a bizarre quiz.

This is what only old people in Korea do.
This association of America has claimed responsibility for shutting down thousands of "blogs".
Why would a tourist visit an area that stinks of sewage?

I've hit the foe button more times in this article than I have for at least a month.

Steam is pretty craptacular.
1) Isn't gmail invite only still? I don't see a way to sign up on their page.
2) What is new and different that they're offering, other than tons of storage?
