I'd mod you down as flamebait but I'll humor you with a response (even though we're not supposed to feed the trolls).
Wikipedia is not necessarily as reliable as another print source, but printed encyclopedias are susceptible to errors as well (and often contain more of them than Wikipedia itself) and are not as up-to-date.
I think so. And I think I'm addicted to H2O... I just keep coming back for more. I have problems trying to concentrate or sleep without it, and am quite distressed without it.
It's extremely obvious with the 20/20 vision hindsight affords us that Yahoo should have taken Microsoft's offer. But the real question is: with the information that CEO Yang had at the time, was his decision reasonable?
Hopefully this will slow the rate of gold farming, if the Chinese government is serious about enforcing this. But I don't see why they wouldn't. It's pure profit.
It has never been about "ethics", always money. You see, it never really mattered to them what people thought of their game, as long as the people bought. But the gaming industry wants to turn games into a one-time-sale so that everyone would just buy new games instead of old, used, but perfectly fine ones.
They're trying to sell diamonds here... but a game isn't forever. They try to prevent resales by DRMing the game, but the public responds by torrenting.
But as for IGN and its censoring, it's probably only to prevent lawsuits.
These billion-dollar companies are charging us exorbitant rates for service and still don't have enough balls to stand up to the other bullies on the block (ex. MPAA & RIAA)?
TFA gives the size of a patch or a game download. But that information is easily found. What would actually be useful is the information on how much bandwidth gameplay actually consumes, perhaps in Kbps, for a few of the more common MMOs like WoW.
... developed countries' schools disdain Wikipedia (for the wrong reason- it should not be cited because it is an encyclopedia- the reason many give that "it can be edited by anyone" is irrelevant).
That's why we're giving it to developing countries. Hand-me-downs!

What could be more organic and green than apples?
(Not even oranges measure up.)
Because many people don't know how to approach a media report with skepticism.
And Safari's for people that don't want extensions or features. Right?
Mmm... cockroach is my favorite. Appetizing. Yours?
What about people like me, with no brains, you insensitive clod!
Does it run Linux?
And if it's a civilian?
They should sue Google for not censoring results to sites that host P2P applications.
Then they should target ISPs for not blocking access to Google and all the other "infringing" sites.
And while they're at it, sue Slashdot for talking about this.
Just a question: Who's Paris Hilton?

No, but I remember it being bundled in my old laptop (I think it was Dell).

Copying files to and from a network was excruciatingly slow - how did that get past Microsoft's QA?
What QA?

Buy a copy of this software and pre-empt it by scanning? Of course encryption would work too...

None, except the disenfranchised. Because the stereotypical WoW player plays 24/7 and thus has no time to vote.
Major file formats and how to decode them. Problem solved?
any harm caused ... is far outweighed by the act's "notice-and-takedown" provision and the safe harbor that this provides to intermediary ISPs

And they added that giving high doses to invertebrates extends their life spans
So if we remove our spines and drink a lot of this miracle beer, we can increase our lifespans? Tell me where to get this beer!
