I'm sure the government will stick to its word that there will be no restrictions on free speech
I'm interested in how they're going to handle this. Maybe in order to obtain a license, you must agree that your forum/blog will only contain content deemed appropriate, thus the government is not technically restricting anyone's free speech, they're only forcing others to do so. It seems that if they had no intentions of censoring, they would have no reason to start this licensing process to begin with, but then I haven't yet RTFA so perhaps it is explained there.
If I could see those bricks right now, and they would be given to me immediately after our transaction, and I would be getting a fairly steady supply of new bricks as time went on for no additional price, then you would have a similar system to Minecraft's pre-order.
Mastercard and the other companies affected have the right to choose their customers. What these "hactivists" are doing is not preserving freedom of speech, it's an attempt at bullying.
Fighting games actually helped the arcades because competition against another player was also something it was hard to get at home (until online gaming).
Ugh... unfortunately the online competition is usually terrible. Plus when you're trying to perform link combos that require 1 frame input accuracy, any amount of lag can really hurt your chances of success.
Apparently America is not a "civilized" country because its citizens are free to use humor as they see fit. I sincerely doubt the GP would actually shoot this man, but it's Friday morning and many would like to start their morning with humor.
Lmfao, nice straw man attempt; none of those have any relevance to the topic at hand. Anyway, in my original post I stated that I don't appreciate what they're doing, I'm simply attempting to avoid turning it into something it's not.
They haven't stopped linking to anything, this only changes what pops up in the auto-complete. All this means for you is you need to spend maybe an extra 0.2 seconds per search as you finish typing your query. Not only did you fail to RTFA, you apparently lacked the reading comprehension to parse TFS and even the title. While I may not be thrilled with what Google is doing here, let's try not to spread rumors.
I don't doubt the intelligence of an 8 year-old, I'm more in doubt of the average 8 year-old's understanding of business shenanigans. When I was that age, I simply had no concern for anything like that, though to be honest that hasn't changed much.
His father founded a patent law firm. If there's any sort of vicious greed in this story, it lies with the father. How many 8 year-olds even understand patents?
It pains me to see an adult (I'm assuming) get so butt-hurt about an 8 year-old succeeding that they'll whine this much about so-called "vile behavior." He didn't come up with this design to save the freaking world, he recognized his father's problem and then realized he could make money for solving it. Do you go to work every day for free?
So you still agree that social-networking sites are allowed to wall off this information then, yes? Unless a person specifically says they're fine with their information being shared, walling this info off should be the norm.
Now imagine if you just broadcast 'We just executed a lawyer for being VERY naughty. Any lawyer who is likewise naughty in a similar fashion will also be executed. Have a nice day." Then the lawyers would be forced to go "Fuck, HOW was he naughty? If it is the same dirty underhanded BS I've been pulling I could get fucking shot! WTF!?!?" Which would certainly be a deterrent for dirty underhanded shit by lawyers.
It would also be a completely bullshit way to run your justice system.
I have a very weird cat; he doesn't ever do anything to get him in trouble, and he follows me around everywhere. If I even step outside for a cigarette, I can hear him yowling as he checks all the windows to see where I'm at. My wife tells me that when I leave the house, he'll do that for at least five minutes. He was two years old when we got him, had been abandoned, and had spent one of those years in the humane society basically sharing a box with windows with another cat. I think that may have something to do with his attachment to me. He does like knocking things off the table, but that's just because he likes watching things fall. When we lived in an apartment with stairs, he'd roll all his toys down the stairs to watch them bounce. Around Christmas time we'd have to fetch tree ornaments daily from the bottom of the stairs and replace them on the tree.
Obsidian has a pretty poor track record when it comes to stability of their games on release. Once or twice is somewhat understandable, but their name is now associated with "buggy."
I use mine as a secondary alarm clock since I find it very difficult to get motivated in the morning, but need to be at work by 7. Having two alarm clocks allows me to use one as a way to pull myself out of a deep sleep, and having a second across the room forces me to get out of bed.
I wouldn't call Valve a "mouselike critter," as you did in your analogy. Valve is more like the t-rex that simply doesn't give a crap about what the other guys are doing because they know they're the best.

Maybe you should read that post, as it has nothing to do with Sonic the Hedgehog, or with taking a dump.

Dear Sony, If you continue running your business this way, you won't have the means to produce a PS4.
Still waging your little war against ACs?
I'm interested now, I'm actually going to RTFA
Did the fact that he had not yet RTFA escape you?

Not letting your people know the repercussions of their actions?

You must be the coolest guy in the world.
If you make all your purchases using money given to you, you are effectively not paying any taxes.

That's very possible, considering Ada's creation was contracted by the DoD.
