Not sanitizing input (any input, be it from a user or a remote site or a webservice or what have you) is asking for trouble, i see shit like this daily.
No, the meltdown isn't "planned", but the plant is built to cope with the unlikely event of a meltdown. The construction is made in such a way to limit possible contamination as much a possible.
Better graphics aren't a guarantee for a better game.I find most current day games to be quite horrible, sure they look great, but they lack something we used to have loads of in the 8 bit & 16 bit era, playability. It all started to go downhill with the advent of Wolfenstein 3D.
I don't get headaches, but i get disoriented, i never really got the whole '3D' thing really, i find it quite distracting in a movie. As for games, never tried a game with 3D/Steriovision.
There's still the little problem of efficient energy storage. You could outfit every home in the world with solar panels and have a huge capacity on a sunny day, but you still need power at night, storage still is an issue. As for the technology discussed here, it splits water into hydrogen, a highly flammable gas, storing this in a safe manner might also be problematic (i'm not a chemist, so i might be wrong)
What I'll do sometimes is 'download to sample' an album of a band someone suggests to me, because for instance Sony doesn't want the video's to be played in Europe. In those cases they practically are forcing me to pirate the stuff because i can not sample the songs otherwise (no, 15 or 30 seconds on amazon doesn't cut it). If the album turns out to be good, I'll buy it (if it ever gets released on this side of the globe, that's another thing. Sometimes a movie or CD will only see a release in the States, if I can't buy it, I'll pirate it), otherwise I'll just thrash the files & move on.
1) I don't believe their numbers
2) People who pirate wouldn't pay for the stuff if they couldn't pirate, they'd just skip it
Look, i have access to the internet, and the knowledge & means to pirate just about everything, yet, both my dvd as my cd racks are overflowing with (paid for!) stuff. If something is worth the money asked, people *WILL* pay, and those who don't will never pay.
Nope. It's pretty much because it's how they want it. It's the same principle as region coding and such at work. The only reason the difference is expressed in days & not months to years is piracy. If they wait too long, they'll get pirated to hell & back.
One month, that is how long I give it before this gets used to block sites for non-piracy reasons. Like a site that talks about BitTorrent community activity or a competitor who infringes a patent for two random examples. Make my words, this will be used for political suppression even if it isn't the government doing it.
Agreed. If there's one country that can rebuild, it's Japan, They've climbed to the top once, been nuked back down, and climbed back to the top after that in record time, they can do it again.

DMCA can force you to remove a link?!
And yet there is ever more lobbying to shove software patents down other countries their throats. Remember ACTA?
Microsoft is much much worse then Satan, they even bought him out: Microsoft Purchases Evil From Satan

You want rogue AC's? Talk with HBGary
Heh, Deja-vu
No Woosh about it, good horror does not need super duper graphics, all you really need is a good story

Radiation kills, but contamination is a lot worse, that's what you really should be worrying about.

You want immersive 3D? Invent a holodeck.
Considering you admittedly watch crappy movies because they are in 3D i wouldn't rule out brain rot just yet :P

I didn't say it *WAS* a problem, i said it *MIGHT* be.
I can't even remember there being EULA's with those games back in those years....
I still buy Sony stuff, and i'll probably continue in the future. They have some pretty damn good camera's.
Hey, it'll offset the damage done by global warming, a double win!

I care, i'd like to see some stars when i look up

No more slashdot in the UK?
Blaming piracy for decreased sales is bullshit. The problem isn't piracy, it's the lack of good material being released.
