So in other words, Half Life 2 still looks better?
That reminds me of the original Half Life 2 trailer (before the first game) that appeared to promise such things as realtime material reflections and refractions.
What I find interesting is just how vehement software engineers and pilots are about the idea, and yet everyone seems to trust fly-by-wire. From your linked FAQ: "the Soft Walls system will choose the strategy that is most likely to protect the no-fly zone, even if it puts the airplane and its passengers at risk."
I'm glad I skimmed past so many comments to see this post. That cute cats page is more interesting and insightful than the last 15/. articles I've been bothered to read.
The DNS lock-up issue has been around for a long long time now. The issue is most noticable when you use a PAC file for proxy configuration (as is necessary where I work).
Firefox 3rc1 appears to have somehow made this problem even worse, now clicking on any link whose domain hasn't previously been cached by local DNS will hang the entire application for a matter of seconds.
For reference here is a BugZilla reference, note that issue is now 4 years old.
The promise was that you would receive cake after completing the tasks, and it seemed to be that you were never meant to survive. Even if you consider the ending as survival you don't actually get The Cake.
Perhaps this Coward has only seen the ending video instead of playing the game.
How about I put your all out of your misery and break the news that there is a video in TFA and it demonstrates exactly the same pinch-to-zoom that was in Microsoft Surface. Pinch zooms out, Spread zooms in.
I almost spent some effort trying to argue against your strawman, but I digress.
Your argument is only relevant to this case if you published your own 'report' on the internet/tv/etc in the first place. Then it sure is your responsibility and your responsibility alone to police every instance that it is republished.

I was about to reply about how it was possible, then realised the difference between Red Hat 4 (1996) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (2005+).
Damn Red Hat and their naming schemes.
I'm pretty sure RedHat would be happy to support you, for a price.
If someone has physical access to your computer then it is already game over*.
Why bother using firewire hacking when it is much simpler to do a hard reset and load a bootable CD?
*YMMV, See TrueCrypt for example.

I think this campaign is relevant, video clip is linked on the page.

Gee, I wonder why pilots don't like the idea...
It will still fall apart with the slightest exposure to moisture though.
I'm willing to bet my Stainless Steel scissors will beat not only your Paper, but also your Cast Iron scissors.
Just don't get it Windy or Watery.

Customers: Hey company, we want to buy a product from you.
Company: No!
Customers: Hey piratebay, we want product pls.
PirateBay: Here you go, and have some free corporate keys too.
(Yeah yeah I know MS won't let you use Windows Update with that method, but they're threatening to turn it off for XP anyway).

Describing the rate as "Broadband Speeds" is about as useful as describing the performance of a supercar as "roadworthy" (there's your car analogy).
For reference, in Australia not only does the incumbent Telco consider 256/64kbps to be broadband, but they also describe it as "Fast".
When I finished it I never got to have cake.

Bonus++ points if the PostScript builds the wall too. Oh, but what a waste of dead tree.
Send it in OOXML, Word won't even open it!
GP had tried to make it dummy proof, I guess from your reply they failed in this instance.
Some might find a talking headless server useful. A small speaker takes up a lot less space (and virtually no power) compared to a monitor.
