Except when they DO melt down, it can be catastrophic in terms of consequences.
Both Chernobyl and Fukushima resulted in an uninhabitable zone that will take decades to clean up, if that is at all possible, and long-lasting effects on the ecosystem.
Japan has no territory to spare for exclusion zones.
Using an original Xbox / PS3 controller requires rooted device, last time I heard. However, there are already controllers that can be used with Android without rooting, so this is not new.
I'm 25 years old. Back when I was in school, it was customary to brain-damage children with BASIC (or VB).. At my first school it once got to a point of teacher giving a task, me telling him "you know I can do that" and just playing, since by then I knew it well enough just from personal experiments. It was not very educative.
Then I got into a math school, and the teacher there, who is also teaching at math department of the Moscow State University, had a different idea, and I am very grateful for that. He taught us Perl and TeX, something that still helps me a lot.
Oh god.. I read the bug comments too. The original poster refers to this gem, quote from developer:
Please go to random forums on the internet instead - there you can add your unhelpful comments that might make developers not want to look at certain bug reports anymore.
Well, that pretty much sums up Gnome development team's attitude.
For me, it's not about what it is. It is about what it refuses to be.
Gnome 3 cut away a lot of sensible Gnome 2 functionality due to developers' own vision of what is right. And any pleas to bring it back are slammed.
Nautilus: a click on a filename does not put it into rename mode. Something Windows and OS X have, and Nautilus had. WONTFIX: it helps prevent user errors. Nautilus: there are no more user-assignable emblems on files. WONTFIX: Come on, who uses THAT? Gnome-screensaver: clearly, actually having a screensaver is preposterous. WONTFIX.
Those may seem like small gimmicks, but they pile on, and leave a sour taste by themselves. But the worst part is their treatment by the developer team. They don't want extensive configuration, they want the one and only paradigm of what is "right".
If everyone has that mindset to avoid testing "batshit crazy" theories, we will not produce new ones. Physics is not an area where truth is final..
You want repeatable experiments. Those guys want to try them - and you're calling that insane. Maybe that will lead to discovery of yet another, different explanation and mechanism that was attributable to neutrinos only on first estimation.
A good definition of "scientific" is "refutable". This one certainly qualifies. So let them try and not drown them in skepticism right away.
Obviously, you haven't read the original article here.
Just embedding a binary blob doesn't help. Having a complex routine to decrypt it, verify the extracted data, and run it if verification succeeds is another story.
Though, arguably, you CAN put such a loader and throw in random data just for trolling.

Came here to remind of that. Here's a hands-on.

I wonder what they'd do if no one bought any of their stuff.
MORE lawsuits?
That's profitable, you know.
Love the moderation on this one. Currently "Informative", but every single descriptor fits if you think about it.
No need to go far.
To close the sarcasm tag, here's also an obligatory xkcd.
On a side note, this reminded me of Cory Doctorow's "When Sysadmins Ruled The Earth".
People can be replaced. Uptime, on the other hand..
Not asking a question, not suggesting to act.
So what is it, just a story to tell?
I invite you to read the GitHub blog post on how they deploy.
This rediculous IP notion has gotten out of hand.
What, just now?

Tell that to Minecraft players..
It is beyond reason why they set a private flag.
DHT would handle it just perfectly, but now a torrent is brought down because trackers can't cope.
+1 Thoughtful
Your (non-Slashdot) karma just got noticeably better.
UEFI secure boot with MS keys hardwired, perhaps?
Oh wait, the Windows logo specs say it must be optional for x86.
Any sufficiently advanced technologyis indistinguishable from Magic.

Problem is, the opportunity for a reasonable flight path to Mars is not always there. Windows can be small and far apart.
Too late. They have a case of patent infringement. They invented powering up iPod Shuffle first!

That wasn't really the question. The question was - which of their games are worth playing if it wasn't for DRM.

Target and do what? Blast into thousands of less trackable but no less dangerous fragments?
