As with any arms race, all you really achieve is creating some really neat new technologies and methods to get one over on the other guy.
As with any arms race, the "defender" is one step behind the "attacker". New technologies have to be invented before they can be countered, as a general rule.
I lament the loss of "bosskeys" in current games... nothing better than playing a game like Leisure Suit Larry and hitting that single key when a boss walks around the corner, preserving your crap job in the process.
When he publishes a paperback version, I might even consider getting it. While I understand the convenience of Ebooks, the readers give me a headache if I try to read for too long and I'm prone to marathon reading sessions.
So you refused a job on the basis of false assumptions? There is no closed monopoly on net access, and you can still download or import games which are only banned for SALE in Australia. Possession isn't banned, only the sale by Australian distributors.
I'm sorry, but (what I assume is game theory) does not reassure me as to my chances of acquittal should I have to present before a "Jury of my peers". Present with me with tested evidence vs a theory and I might reconsider.
but I have to wonder: would an attorney consider this kind of non-presence a desirable characteristic, or a non-desirable one?
Non-desirable... if they can't pre-emptively read your demographic, how can they determine if you're likely to convict/exonerate the guy they have on trial?
Seriously? Majority over consensus?
I'd rather take the risk that *1* juror holds out than the risk that 1 person can convince about half of the remainder that they should get their asses out of there by proclaiming me guilty.

...which was withdrawn from the market in 2004 after a study showed it doubled the risk of heart attack and stroke in users.
So surely the current drug is a win/win, when you're impotent you get a MUCH lower incidence of users that stroke.
"The Idiot's Lantern" from the 2006 series is the one you're thinking of... and yes, I immediately thought of it too.
Facebook is for whiny wimps and grandma who want pictures of little joey. Real men use twitter.
No, real men supposedly play sports and shoot things. Not that I'm one of them, but even *I* won't use Twitter.
What, that they both enable naval-gazing?
They stare at warships? Wouldn't Jane's Compendium be better for that?

That, to me, is the definition of bleeding edge.
Nerds whine, complain they don't have the "right equipment" and sulk in a corner. Until we beat them up and shit on their faces.
Don't do that, you'll only excite them.
I wanna see the Model T vs 2011 Kia Rio offroad challenge!!
I'm sure "Top Gear" will get around to it soon.

Maybe I can still get the "The April Fool" Achievement? (this is my first April 1 post in years).
Hey, good point... don't think I have that achieve myself.
Not everything can or has to be proven with research.
Yes, metaphysics is usually the realm where this applies.

McDonald's wrappers could be the swamp saving trash of the future?

Even though the tone of the parent comment is troll-like, his points are valid. Please mods, mod him back up.

In the UK we wouldn't even wash our cars in Fosters.
I'm an Australian, and I've lived some time in the UK.. you sir, are sadly mistaken.
Nixon? Bah, small fry compared to the Petrov Affair.
Errr, no. ISPs supply a "service" to customers. That's not the same as directly connecting to a network by your self.
It's when they start teaching it to eat that we have a huge problem... because then it will be "Alimentary, my dear Watson".
Thankyou, thankyou. I'll be here all week, make sure to tip your waitress.
That is an awfully astounding column you've posted.Thanks a lot for that a fantastically amazing post!
Since when have they made such positive spam-bots? Every other one keeps telling me my dick is too small.
Wait, am I mistaken in believing that Sony invented the Blu-Ray protocol? Is LG trying to cash in at this late stage?
