It's been carefully designed to be only usable in heating up pans and pots and maybe their contents.
Maybe because a friend of mine got one that's so sentive that it sometimes decides his cooking isn't worth heating up!
This suggests that Google will actively filter out sites that spread malware or are phishing? I'm sure Google will do a fine job at it and odds are I would leave such a feature on, but shouldn't there be an option to turn it off? I would feel way better about a search engine if I knew I could turn all its censoring features off. It's the same with SafeSearch, I have it turned to moderate, but I like the fact that I can opt to turn it off.
There's two options in the Security section of Firefox options:
Block reported attack site [x]
Block reported web forgeries [x]
Presumeably unchecking these will turn the protection off. It's not exactly obvious if this will stop the service completely or if will it just stop warning you. I.e. will it stop all communication between Firefox and the service?
And as a sibling comment mentioned, you can proceed regardless of the attack report. You get a cool report about the attack by the way, how many extra processes were spawned by the malware and all that.
It's a tasty piece of FUD and they have a beef with Mozilla?

You don't care that game publishers are gradually trying to take our rights away (first-sale doctorine for example)?
Whether or not he does, 99% of people who buy the games don't.
As long as that's true, and I'm not saying it always will be but I'm not seeing how it would change at this point, the publishers would be stupid to care.
Well, I hope my reply sufficiently explained why a customer might not like DRM.

I guess you'll have fun for a while and then it'll dawn on you that you can no longer play until you submit to a cavity search by the anti-cheat robot and pay for the priviledge.
Everything you do is a social statement, whether you like it or not.

Not trying to troll here, but...
If you paid for the game, why do you care about DRM?
I take it you haven't bought a game with silly restrictions, like the three installs limit on Mass Effect 2.
DRM only harms the customer, not the pirate. Ergo customers are the people who should care about it the most, don't you think?
Bearing in mind how much more effort goes into a modern game, it's amazing prices have effectively dropped. That said, I had more fun then with those old 8K games except the very occassional title that really grabs me now like Bioshock.
Still, the money that goes into the development of a main-stream game is peanuts when compared to the price of the average Hollywood movie. Which sells for about 20 bucks.

Well gee whiz.
I had no idea I was being a purist or an extremist for not liking DRM and/or other people being able to delete my games that I bought with hard cash.
Furthermore, multiplayer games have worked just fine without DRM.
If the genes are still here, alive and competing, did they really fail?

What else can you expect from a datamining company.

Apathy will solve nothing, however.

Oracle makes Java unusable, by being Oracle.
And excellent PR for Philips.

Extra meaning for the phrase "bugged"?
This needs a car analogy for us non-gun folk.
Unfortunately, the games don't work that way. The whole lego thing is just a gimmick, an excuse for poor-ish graphics.
At best, you are collecting lego parts for a new spaceship or whatever, which is then auto-assembled for you.
Atleast, that's my impression after playing Lego Star Wars.
Just do it.
Sure looks like it.

Never trust marketing, I guess.
Damn euro sign.
Yes. 60â for a video game is plain silly. The same goes for music CD's and digital downloads.
