They actually play a variant of baseball, where the goal is to knock down pins with the bowling ball after hitting the ball towards the pins with the pool stick in mid-air. Needless to say, they go through bats rather quickly.
You obviously have nothing to do with any mainstream new games.
they ALL start at $59.95 or $49.95 (unless its complete crap that will be in the bargain bin in a month)
and upto $79.99 for collectors editions and the like.
It's bad enough that the stores use those $X.99 prices. Why do you have to write them like that, when $60, $50, and $80 would have been easier for you to type and for me to read?
Without any actual knowledge in the area, I would think they try various clever tactics in an attempt to find something revealing that the rootkit writer overlooked.
In my experience, every line commented out makes the program run faster. My programs tend to run instantly if I comment the entire thing! Using a # must invoke an incredible optimization engine! Why don't they use it by default?
To play devil's advocate, they could just say that you could activate over the phone or something (but that would make the crack easier to make, since the valid registration code would be found inside the game itself)
Ah, I get it now. The GGGP said his post is copyrighted and no one can reproduce it. GGP then reproduced it. Yup, that was a whoosh moment for me. Allow me to do the honors.

The result of this fine investigation: the words "banana", "safari", and "crashes" all ocuring on a page do not imply that Safari slipped on a banana peel while rendering a page. Also, the word "safari" did not even appear in the snippet shown for the first result I reproduced here. This warrants further investigation...
The Firefox addon mentioned in TFA has the option to randomize the UID in the tracking cookie phorm sets on each web page. Not as grand as your poisoning ideas, but similar.
As for the opt-out by MAC address you mentioned, you'd still have to opt out for every machine you connect to the internet. Better would be opt-out by BT account, or, better yet, opt-in by BT account.
When you get to the level of paranoia where you want this, perhaps I could interest you in my radar-detector-detector-detector-detector-detector-detector-detector-detector-detector detector.
It consists of a black box with a little red light, which always blinks to indicate that you're always being watched.
Little-known secret: the police are rolling out sharks with giant lasers on their backs to counter this device.
The best way... is to pretend you're doing a study on line cutting, and interview someone near the front just as they start letting people in. Then release an actual study to prevent reprisals. Then profit?

Just be aware of occasional data loss when the tide_in function gets called.
Simple work-around: recompile your kernel with the NO_MOON flag set. Hopefully this bug is fixed by the 2.6.30 release.

The only computer that is guaranteed to be secure is one that is encased in concrete and dropped to the bottom of the ocean.
Not if it's encased with a large battery and satellite connection to the Internet.

Nah. This would be more efficient:

Computer, measure --distance --vertical --from-mouse --button Post | mouse --move --vertical --in-pixels
Computer, mouse --left-click"

Also, it appears at least 40,000 crashes involved bananas - this warrants further investigation.

Well, my Bittorrent client is shaped like a box when I open it...
I have made the switch to Linux (Fedora Core 5)
Your trolling is out of date.
Aye. Fedora 10 comes out in 9 days.
...and this is with a 1.6 GHz Duo, a gig of Ram, on XP. Geeze, WTF! Do I need a frick'n gaming machine to write code now?!?
Notepad should run just fine on that kind of setup. Code away!

Are you missing a step??? I think you are.
Thank you! I guess I can fire up my old Amiga 4000 and run my online banking through AWeb :)
Just use a Live CD for online banking if you're really paranoid.
