Sure, you can point out regional differences in the game market. If you look closer though, you'll see that there's much more cohesion than divisiveness.

WarMouse Meta: "The King of All Computer Mice" is now shipping and it isn't just for games
Oxford, England, July 28, 2010 - WarMouse today announced that its much-anticipated multi-button laser joystick mouse is now shipping. With a patented design featuring 18 buttons, an analog joystick, and a 5600-CPI laser sensor, the Meta has been well received by gamers and commercial software developers alike. Containing twice as much memory as the original Macintosh, the WarMouse(R) Meta holds 3,072 commands in 64 mouse modes, allowing the mouse to completely change its functionality on the fly according to the active application.
Hands-on reviews of the mouse from various technology sites have been uniformly positive:
* "WarMouse has given the concept of the mouse a whole new meaning." - Techzine
* "There's no doubt that the $79.99 Meta with its 512K of memory is the most advanced mouse we've ever seen - each of its 18 buttons along with their double-click functions can be configured for different applications, and its analog joystick can be customized to perform eight different commands.... The WarMouse Meta goes where no mouse has gone before." - Engadget
* "The King of All Computer Mice.... If there is one mouse that beats them all, then it sure is the WarMouse Meta." - Trends Updates
* "Mouse technology has reached a peak with the Warmouse Meta." - Trendhunter
The Meta is one of the first computer mice to incorporate a digital/analog joystick into its design and is the first mouse to permit the use of the joystick as a keyboard interface. In the three digital joystick settings, the user can assign up to sixteen different key functions to the joystick in each of the 64 mouse modes. In the analog joystick settings, the use can select between having up to seven joystick buttons available or using all 18 buttons as keyboard and/or mouse commands instead. In addition to providing an easy means of creating and customizing mouse modes, the Meta Modeware software records the user's button clicks and stores the statistics by application, allowing players to perform postgame analysis of their multiplayer matches and more efficiently arrange their button assignments.
"The WarMouse Meta isn't just an awesome mouse for gamers, but for game designers too," said Chris Taylor, the designer of Total Annihilation, the Strategy Game of the Decade, and CEO of Gas Powered Games. "Being able to data mine game actions through the Meta takes gaming mouse technology to a whole new level."
Unlike most gaming mice, the multi-button utility of the WarMouse Meta is not limited to games despite its high-end specifications.. The award-winning science fiction writer John Scalzi, known for his mad photo-imaging skills as well as his predilection for slaughtering the digital undead, declared the Meta is "Equally at home fine-tuning pictures in Photoshop or fighting the slavering zombie hordes. Because I do both. Although usually not at the same time." Dr. Murray Reicher, M.D., the CEO of DR Systems, was one of the first adopters of the new mouse interface and said: "This new input device has great potential in healthcare, particularly in the field of medical imaging. I'm looking forward to introducing it to our physician and technologist customers."
The features of the WarMouse Meta include:
* 18 programmable mouse buttons with double-click functionality.
* High-resolution laser sensor with adjustable resolution ranging from 100 to 5,600 DPI/CPI.
* Six assignable button modes: Key, Keypress, Macro, Mouse, Special, and Mouse-Key Combo.
* Analog Xbox 360-style joystick with six analog and digital joystick modes.
* Clickable and co
The idea of e-reading devices was that it was a portable computer that would mimic/be like a regular paper. I would never attempt to read books on this awful LCD display.
So, to answer your "question", yes. Yes, as opposed to the screen I'm reading (from) right now, I'd use a proper e-reader with technology that helps ease my eyes (and in effect, my mind).
Games aren't art because you can -win-? That's a rather bleak and pessimistic view on art. If you aren't allowed to win... I guess you aren't allowed to lose either. The only winning move is not to play... curious.

"As security firm"? Who does the article mean, Jeremy Conway of NitroSecurity, or Didier Stevens, working for Contraste Europe? Also, it would've been nice if the article linked to an article Jeremy wrote titled "Implications of Recent PDF/Launch Hacks", this article can be found here: http://siemblog.com/2010/04/implications-of-recent-pdf-launch-hacks/
They said "We have something, we're going to show you then and then".

This works, people. I've used the EU parliament's petition page before (regarding pricing issues with Valve) and I got a three-page semi-personal response. Like OP says, take the time to fill out a petition!
Yes you do. You need to know how a computer works on a rudimentary level, you also need to know how to install an OS.
If you really think that you don't need to know what you are doing, give the first six-year old you can find a computer and a windows installation cd/dvd. Have fun!
You are well informed and protected, but even plain CSS is an attack vector. Yes, to be safe, you need to disable CSS http://search.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1537058&cid=31023480. Also, extensions like LocalRodeo, SafeHistory and SafeCache might be worthy add-ons to your arsenal. Although some of those extensions might be deprecated/unusable in the latest version of Firefox/Iceweasel (even with Nightly Tester Tools).

Yes, anyone who is not a geek.
Look, to us tech people, these things are obvious.
Please, most people (>90%) posting on Slashdot are perfectly ignorant of how security works. Don't toot your/our horn too much.
It's like giving crack to kids, that's why.

Shut, up. Shut the FUCK up.

The answer is no. Also, anyone using the iPad as ereader is mentally insane and hates his/her eyes.
You think you're being funny, but you're not. Stereotypes are no laughing matter, dick.

-1 flamebait? Really Slashdot, really?
That fraction most definitely can be offset by some Google Ads.
A rather twisted example. Lets try to not give the evil monopolies more power, even when discussing a mere hypothetical.
Linux has really come into it's own, but I don't think anybody will ever mistake it for a hobbyist niche again.
You can literally edit -anything-, just edit the niche back in.
Yes you do. You need to know how a computer works on a rudimentary level, you also need to know how to install an OS.
If you really think that you don't need to know what you are doing, give the first six-year old you can find a computer and a windows installation cd/dvd. Have fun!
Sounds like you had no clue what you were doing.
