they will take more care when designing that place, so that its actually readable if you don't have perfect vision (Notice how MSIE users can't change the font size because of bad stylesheet usage) (Yes you might say its MSIE thats bad as well, but it is the standard)
Once you label all these diverse people as "criminals" or "thieves", or even imply that they are (people in the crossfire for example)they will ALL revolt.
No they won't - people mostly don't give a damn, and almost never get together about anything.
therefore the costs are past on to your grandma out in montana on dialup who googles only for cross stich patterns.
Edonkey nicey shows your IP number so the authorities can track you down - as they have been doing in europe for a while, and as they apparently (see previous Slashdot stories) are starting to do in America as well.

I call that "Irony".
Presumably because english is not your first langauge.
Somebody has made a custom map called "Bomb bin laden", so there might:)
After all the most played WC3 games on BattleNet seems to be custom games (ie, people make maps which not like regular games, different rules, units etc)
I just checked BattleNet: Number of Starcraft games being played: 10967
It seems you might be in the minority on this one. Here is a quote taken from
So what, you quote a bunch of websites who are happy to be friends with blizzard - and totallying the number of people who expressed that opinion? 3-4? perhaps?
Bad graphics... Have you played Brood Wars or Warcraft II lately?
Yep. Screw 3d, everybody though its cool to make it, but to me it looks like crap.
Boring gameplay?
Oh yeah the normal gameplay sucks. However they were clever enough to include a fairly powerfull editor, so people have been making all kinds of weird maps, that is what is keeping it alive. If it hadn't had that....
I guess that's why the battle.net servers are still flooded with Starcraft players and no one bothers playing Warcraft III at all.
Perhaps you are being ironic, but you are right: I just checked BattleNet:
Number of Starcraft games: 10967
Number of Warcraft III games: 4925
Blizzard is a god of the RTS genre, and nothing will change that anytime soon.
They should get better programmers if they can't increase that cap! Look at Cossacks, they have litteraly THOUSANDS of units on screen, and it doesn't lag at all. 200 is the number if peasants you have!
It seems at first that deep-linking might cause a Newsbooster's reader to think they wrote the article the link is sending to, thus hurting the credit-per-bandwidth of the real news company's server.
Hardly, since their service is to search online newspapers for the stuff their customers deem relevant (like the clipping agencies for newspapers (on paper!)) - and by clicking on the links they would be taken to a normal page on the newspaper in question, with adds and all. No reason to get upset, unless you are a senile old fogey who doesn't understand the internet.
Yes you can use it - it searches thousands of news sites, not just Danish websites (they are just so anal they don't understand it would attract more eyeballs for their adds)
Make a program. Have it downloaded by the Americans, and suddenly the feel their laws should govern you... (and if you object.. what, they'll send in the army?)

They are probably going to say you saved the money by from not buying the song/movie and thus had financial gain.
File swappers are already commiting theft.
Its not theft - its a copyright violation. Big difference.
You are joking about not realizing that anyone can see your IP if you are connected to them?
And you are joking about not realizing that anyone can see the IP of the sharere without being connected to them? (in this program)
You are joking, right?
Nope, edonkey shows your IP number right there for all to find (even before you download something).
Besides, if nothing can cloak that, then RIAA has alreayd won, eh?

That was a game design decision, not an inability to program.
Given that it lags as it is now, I think not.

And that happens to be true!
About time too!

When you subscribed, they would search the news for information you specified and send you links:

Unless the US starts buying and investing a lot more, its heading for a depression.... what arrogance to assume it doesn't affect them...

is that when they are removing features?
They stopped broadcasting it!
You must be a moron who doesn't know how to use CSS if you think it causes readability problems.
Actually you are the moron if you don't know that it causes readability problems.
Visit www.cnn.com in Internet Explorer, try changing font size - what happens? The font size stay micro small, because of the stylesheets.
It's the barrier around the galaxy! StarTrek was right all these years!
