I just realized there is no way to moderate you as "-1 wrong", so I'll comment.
In addition to be wrong about Alien Swarm (if you can't RTFA, at least read the summary), you're wrong about Tremulous too. It's based the GPL Quake 3 source code.
I'm currently in the process of helping a medium sized international NGO migrate from Salesforce to CiviCRM.
During our requirements analysis we found that:
Salesforce, while certainly powerful and flexible, is really designed with business users in mind, which leads to some ugly hacks when it comes to some basic things that non-profits need
For the features we were interested in, CiviCRM was on par with Raiser's Edge
CiviCRM came out ahead in online donation processing, ability to create custom web forms, and ease of use
CiviCRM is tightly integrated with the Drupal content management system, which we were already using for several websites
CiviCRM is Open Source, free of charge, and has great community and commercial support
At first I thought this was going to be about giving scientists LSD, playing some Pink Floyd, and making them watch visualizations until they think they're flying through space...
I use the awesome Sipdroid app to make and receive all the calls on my Droid over SIP, including to/from landlines.
Also, you can already Skype from the third party app Fring.
The point of this announcement is that Skype is promising to make a fully functional app for Blackberries and Androids, and Verizon is promising not to do anything to block it.
If after a year or more of college, you think OpenGL and Oracle are programming languages, maybe CS isn't the right major for you.
As others have suggested, try a trade school or community college. They will be happy to teach you to be a single language code monkey, without bogging you down with complicated high-level concepts like "what is a programming language?"
"What policies does X support and why does Y think that's the wrong way to go?"
It's pretty simple really, so there's no need to discuss it: X supports endless war, higher taxes, and more government control over our personal lives. Y = X, for all Y except Ron Paul.
"somebody should calculate how much disk space is required given mpeg2 compression to ensure that someone would have the equivalent of 60+ years of pr0n, that is how big hard disks will get."
60 years * 365 days per year * 10 minutes of wanking per day * 6 MB per minute of medium quality video = 1314000 MB = 1283 GB = 1.25 TB

"Adults are exposed to 1,200 times more dioxin than the EPA suggests is safe, mostly through eating meat, dairy, and shellfish."
So, couldn't you, uh, just not eat those things?
I can tell you for a fact that it's not impossible.
Cue pro/anti vegan flame war in 3,2,1...
I find this car analogy confusing... could someone explain it using another car analogy?
Just curious, but:
Have you looked at CiviCRM?
If so, in what areas did you find to be lacking? What are your criteria for a "great" CRM solution?
Your needs may vary, but for our organization, Civi turned out to be superior to the commercial solutions available.

Do yourself a favor, and give it a look.
From TF summary:
"even when their overall caloric intake was the same."

They sure don't.

Gizmodo are idiots. From TFA:
" call international phone numbers at competitive Skype Out calling rates"
Perhaps they don't think the US is a nation?
Forget the desktop...
2010 will be the year of Linux on your phone!
I'm guessing the parent actually knew that, since he mentioned strip mining, which is the most common way to produce nickel.
Lithium, on the other hand, is extracted from saltwater.
There aren't enough mod points in the world for you, sir.
I laughed till I cried. Be sure to watch the surprise ending.

You can probably flash your Sansa firmware to Rockbox
Then you can run various apps on it (even DOOM!), in addition to playing more formats.
Did somebody accidentally the internet again?

That's funny, after using Drupal to build dozens successful of websites, I wasn't aware it was "broken".
However, if by "fix" you mean "further improve", then yes please.
Yes, Citrix, also the guys that support the open source Xen virtualization platform.

Now doesn't Mitt Romney have nice hair?
"In order to use the WebKit backend, Epiphany must be built with the --with-engine=webkit argument."
That sounds more like WebKit is available, as an option, if you are compiling from source, than "switching" to me...
I wondered that myself, but don't have the option to try it out yet. Fortunately Google did a good job of explaining the Label to Folder mapping here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77657

Am I the only one that finds the title suggestive?

Although I don't doubt that the US government would would snoop on their network too if they could.
