The list features 1047 sites, nine of which have been confirmed to contain child porn. Only one of these hosts it â" the same one that Matti Nikki reported more than a year ago!
251 pages, roughly a quarter of the whole, contain gay porn. Only 4 contain lesbian porn.
You can also try Urban Terror. I have played it for a few months and can attest that the maps are fun, gameplay is great, there aren't many cheaters (if any) and the general behavior on the servers is alright.
WRT to item C on your list: birth control pills. It would be a completely different world without that medical wonder. Suddenly having hundreds of millions more fertile women in this world would cause lots o' problems.
"If Mainstream PC gaming is dead, then windows is dead."
Which is still problematic because of OpenOffice crappyness and other things. But I'd say that windows becomes less important when mainstream PC gaming is dead.
Which won't happen because first person shooters and real time strategy only work on PCs.
I don't, and I suspect most people don't, ever block text based ads. I've no problem with them. Thus Google's ads get through. Google understands that text based ads do not bug most people, hence it's always been their ideology to use them.
In experiments on human habitat preference, American children and adults are shown slides of landscapes and asked how much they would like to visit or live in them. The children prefer savannas, even though they have never been to one. The adults like the savannas, too, but they like the deciduous and coniferous forests â" -which resemble much of the habitable United States â" just as much. No one likes the deserts and the rainforests. One interpretation is that the children are revealing our speciesâ(TM) default habitat preference, and the adults supplement it with the land with which they have grown familiar.

I, for one, agree with you and your post would have a Score:1 on the side if I had points left.
Not long ago, I swore by KDE, tweaked every tiny bit, installed custom themes and even browsed the web with Konqueror, while ridiculing the sluggish Gnome.
But alas, the packet manager brought KDE4 along, and it sucked. I tried some window managers like awesome, and while they have their advances, they are the playground of a handful of developers, just like KDE. They are constantly breaking stuff and telling the user to get over it. XFCE is nearly there, but I believe there was something wrong with the panel.
Now I use Gnome and don't configure anything anymore. I use ~4 different Linux Desktops and syncing the configuration would be a pain in the ass anyways. Sure, it still has some weirdnesses, like a broken session manager and crashing keyboard applet, but I can live with that. I can't live with plasmoids - sorry...
Now I have to try XFCE again to find out what I didn't like about it. Sometimes I wish I was a dumb, accepting Windows-doofus and just wouldn't care.
Because that money doesn't disappear from the economy, it circulates? And more money circulated means a stronger economy?
Only in a free market. If you force the circulation in a particular direction, you might have a strong economy in that particular area, but not in general - maybe even a weakened economy.
Imagine a law that would subsidize the bicycle industry - you would get *paid* for using the bicycle, since it has less emissions. Clearly that would boost the bicycle industry, but I doubt that you would get your fresh tomatoes in time and your taxes would stay the same.
I don't think you get paid for mere ad views anymore. You get revenue for actual purchases on the advertisers site - or at least clicks on the ads. You might as well just support them with a donation.
Just do it, it's very easy - I donated $20 and I'm feeling very smug already;-)/p.
Weird that nobody mentioned OpenTTD yet, the Open-Source version of Chris Sawyers "Transport Tycoon Deluxe", creator of Rollercoaster Tycoon.
It's probably more a clone than a remake, because you can play in the exact same way as the original, but you can also enable optional bugfixes and actual game improvements, like working multiplayer support.
There is also Black Mesa, a remake of Half-Life 1 with the newer Source engine. Pretty exciting, too.
When are the small SSD drives coming? I just need to put my operating system on the SSD-drive, the mp3s and movies are doing fine on the spinning platter. 512GB are total overkill.
Even large (most) of Rollercoaster Tycoon was built in assembler. I just wouldn't call it a weird language choice, assembler is pretty fast and "predictable", unlike the common javascript implementations.
I don't agree at all. Of course there are more research groups than before, and more excellent research is done in groups, that doesn't mean that there aren't any extraordinary individuals.
I also think their definition of genius is a little bit narrow. I think "Einstein" just became a meme for "genius" and the others just haven't made an impression in the public mind.
Just try to make a graph with the number of geniuses per century. Leonardo da Vinci in the late 15th century for example, Galileo late 16th, Newton late 17th century. In the 20th century we have Einstein, Bohr, Planck, Goedel, James Watson and Francis Crick (ok these are two), Feynman just died 20 years ago!
To me, the genius density is increasing. Just because you can't think of an Einstein living today (and you can argue about that, too), doesn't mean that there won't be one in the next 50 years.

Some time ago, some dude compiled a list of the sites that are being filtered in Finland: (German is in cooperation Norway concerning this filter):

Let me quote:
Content breakdown:

If someone wants more games than he or she can pay for, isn't it fair to call that consumer is greedy?
What's stopping me to encode an url as a QR Code?

Not on /.
True. So you can rephrase that to
"If Mainstream PC gaming is dead, then windows is dead."

I have read some interesting stories from Roland here. Most of them were tagged "ohnoitsroland", the meaning of which I still don't fully understand.
You forgot replacing #5 with "No Profit!"
Wild forests aren't the "natural habitat", savannas are. The human species spent most of the time in savannas
It's even documented in a study on Evolutionary Aesthetics
From Stephen Pinkers book "How The Mind Works":
In experiments on human habitat preference, American children and adults are shown slides of landscapes and asked how much they would like to visit or live in them. The children prefer savannas, even though they have never been to one. The adults like the savannas, too, but they like the deciduous and coniferous forests â" -which resemble much of the habitable United States â" just as much.

Sorry for the broken Unicode. It's /.s fault.

You're school's admins were morons.
Most are.
I wonder if they called the robot "XQJ 37"
I think those are "brand new" articles (without comments?). But I have seen it only once..
When are the small SSD drives coming? I just need to put my operating system on the SSD-drive, the mp3s and movies are doing fine on the spinning platter. 512GB are total overkill.
Well, English not my native language ;-)
But I wanted to say that the advertising campaign is new, not the movie. So I think the broken article is the only mistake.
Thanks for the correction anyways. The world needs some Grammar Nazis :-)
how can we be sure that this isn't some stupid new viral advertising campaign for a Emmerich movie?
Even large (most) of Rollercoaster Tycoon was built in assembler. I just wouldn't call it a weird language choice, assembler is pretty fast and "predictable", unlike the common javascript implementations.
Well, they probably are captured differently on every browser anyways.
