Everyone makes very good points about it not being hypocrisy, perhaps in some cases this might not be true.
Example: I can prevent myself from seeing bestial porn, because it goes against my moral values;
While: blocking updates from my ex, who describes her latest cooking expedition, and causes no objective moral dilemma, just proves that I'm a childish ignorant fool who doesn't want to deal with reality.
Censorship is preventative if it occurs *before* the said expression is made public, and punitive *after* it is made public.
I focused on the punitive context in this case, I should have made that more clear:-)
While preaching anti-censorship at the same time. Think about it. The best you can do about ex'es is to forget they exist. Mental programming is much more effective than a browser plugin:P

I'd like to add that TFA reads like Michael, the writer, also confuses the meaning of free software.
“Free software” is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech,” not as in “free beer.”; Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software.
I fear many people who are locked into proprietary OS's misinterprets this ideology, not being exposed to the other side. If this is the case in TFA, then the whole premise for TFA is a fallacy.
This would be great, IF this gaming PC could play titles from various platforms. OTOH it would require some degree of technical know-how to maintain such a PC, I mean look at how we currently tweak to get a game running on occasions. And what about infections?
A Linux based box, for stability and security, that runs a sandbox for Win games, perhaps with something like www.reactos.org, with direct hardware acceleration to avoid such bottlenecks.
Hardware is cheap nowadays so multi-processors and a few GiB's of RAM, nice high RPM drive.
Interesting! That "Security" tab is only available on devices with the NTFS file system. I guess NTFS supports the security descriptors necessary for object permissions.
Most digital cameras and phones require FAT or FAT32.
If we know what data the software expects from the magstripe, and give it an out of bounds value, perhaps an overflow could occur? Slim chance, I bet they validate all input... or do they?
A couple times I have seen an ATM that has crashed, BSOD or shows a windows logon screen -- And we're supposed to trust our money with these tin can openers? WTF?!
How many of those secret tests affected our lives? Can you safely say the nuclear residue from these tests did not damage our world? Radiation is energy that affects all matter, we humans are no exceptions. We have the power to destroy us, and the future. I hope we do, mankind doesn't deserve the privilege to live.
I'd love to point out the manufacturer's label reads: "Japan" - But the benefit of the doubt comes from one crucial fact: Experience. On the evolutionary scale we are basically babies on the space exploration front.
To be specific: this new planet is the first to be directly imaged orbiting a sun-like star using observations made from the ground.
Up Next: new planet photographed before it's discovered by conjoined twins who are blind since birth, standing on a soap box eating fruits while reciting the alphabet backwards. Stoned. Tagline: "We would've announced it sooner, but my twin was away on a business trip in Bermuda, the triangley part."
Also worth mentioning, is that Google acquired YouTube in 2006, and Google is a supporter of Open Source with an open source operating system. If they did look at this from an outside, objective perspective, I trust Google will do anything they can to speed up HTML5 video support.
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe and its subsidiary Psygnosis (collectively "SCEE") have published or licensed "Lemmings" games...
Lemmings was developed by DMA Design, and published by Psygnosis:
The end of Psygnosis came when, in 1999, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) completely absorbed the company. Psygnosis' head office in Liverpool and studios in Stroud, Camden and Leeds were rebranded as Sony Studio Liverpool, Stroud, Camden and Leeds, with other studios being closed.

A once Italian (and Commie at that) landlord used to come into our apartment and snoop around. No sense of privacy.

Awe that's so unfortunate, I really wanted to check this out :/

Best of all, anyone can build one of these.
Fine if you have bandwidth. :(
When you have a cap (like most here in South Africa), it's hard to share Steam games. No xcopy deployment

Can you click faster than that Trojan, before it can infect your writable device? I doubt that, Speedy Gonzales. To mount read-only is divine.
A great analogy that doesn't involve cars! :)

I was more partial to Ubuntu Satanic Edition

Good views. Guess I just got excited that there might have been a *nix build too :)
I know exactly what you mean. Heavenly bodies get me excited, too!
FTA:
There, they found a set of password-protected disks and a piece of paper, marked with “alt,” “control,” “e,” and a string of 27 characters.
With all the steganography and hidden messages, you'd think it prudent not to write passwords on little notes, and keep the along with your disks.

I hate how they abuse their ownership over 'their' IP.
CAPTCHA: HOARDERS - hanging on to IP that wasn't even ours originally while we refuse to publish the titles
I was really looking forward to playing this port. Up yours Sony!
