Video games do not have a father. They can have a "father", in which case it means whatever you want it to mean. It could be RB, it could be the person who first played pong-on-a-scope, or it could be some obscure SF writer who did a short story about them in the thirties.
Asking the question in the title is completely meaningless.
Mod this as a troll if you like, but I have to say it again: Question marks do not belong in article titles. If it's ask slashdot, fine, but otherwise...
Let's try the slashdot treatment on the front page of CNN.com.
Bidding farewell to Reagan? McDonald's gets low-carb Coke? Kimmel show pulled for comments? Florida drivers sue over records?
See what I mean? It just doesn't work.
Here, I'm posting with no karma bonus, so only two people have to mod me down to get to -1.
How hard is it to filter calls from junk fax senders? There must be some solutions for this out there.
How can a machine tell the difference between junk fax and a valid fax?
Fax messages don't have email headers. You can't parse the links or check the embedded images.
You can either try to go by the source's phone number (if that information is even available) or try to route all fax traffic through a computer, perform OCR, and then actually print whatever you can't be sure isn't spax (sfam?).
You could even try a distributed approach (again, if you route traffic through a computer) if you're willing to let others know who's faxing you.
Bottom line - filtering isn't easy, and we shouldn't have to resort to it.
Not long ago another law introduced a fixed 30 cents tax on *each* CD-R on the assumption it will be used to pirate music. All this tax money goes to SIAE, the italian RIAA
So if you're burning your downloaded MP3s to CDs you should be OK, right? After all, you did pay the RIAA for being able to do it.
He's talking about his 9 year old nephew. You don't seriously suggest that he try to criticize the way his brother/sister is raising the kid, do you? After all, family is always right; it's the people you don't know who are always wrong.
When Security told Operations they were planning to do this, there were immediate screams of anguish, and insistence that scans could only be done in the maintenance window, only with prior notice, and with a bunch of other restrictions.
Just make sure Operations let the crackers know about these restrictions as well, and you'll be fine.

Each number has its own unique contribution to make, and 53 is certainly not a lesser number than 50.
I've got a 53 dollar bill right here saying you're wrong.
Oh wait, actually I don't.

These things don't become "news" every year.

I really liked 'cut and paste'.
How long until it stops working? Is there an official cutoff date?

Microsoft Windows is on 80% of desktops or thereabouts. Microsoft Windows is responsible for 80% of spam. Seems fairly obvious to me.
Why?
By the same logic, if we all installed windows, there is no doubt all spammers would stop using any method that doesn't use infected machines.
All you're suggesting, really, is that an infected windows machine is responsible for as little spam as an uninfected, non-windows machine.
Edit robots.txt to let search engines know they should ignore sandbox pages.
Does this offer also include a free gym membership?
No.
Just thought I'd be helpful. You're welcome.
simoniker, if you're not sure if "vintage gaming [is] still hot", shouldn't it be on "ask slashdot"?
And why is this "Revenge"? Who is Pac-Man getting back at, and why?

Next question, please.
about somebody playing GTA with a child.
Coincidence?
Next week: parent sues school after Manhunt show-and-tell scars boy for life.
Shouldn't it be "the making of"?
Or will reading it teach me enough to create a comparable movie?
What the hell are the parents doing?!

Hormel keeps sending me those cans of spiced ham, even though I've asked them to stop at least five times now.
Really, what's with the uppercase? Is "spam" an acronym now?
The mark has to be in the beginning of the subject line.
Oh no!
How is a poor spammer expected to comply with both this and the "ADV:" requirement?
So if this substring can be found after 300 characters of spaces, is the spammer still complying?
You just right click, then select 'save as'.
Parker Brothers sued over the name 'Mr. Green' in the popular "Clue" game by the guy who invented that word.
Close, but not quite:
Hasbro, Inc. sues Clue® Computing, Inc.
Tip the server??? Do you know how much these rackmounts cost!!!
You mean how much these rackmounts weigh.
Is that anything like dwarf tossing?
(Oh, I see, the subject should read GNOME in capitals. very misleading.)
It's enough to make you flee from the country, or commit suicide.
I'm sure lots of countries would be happy to have these registered sex offenders.
The choice is really between a life of crime, suicide or being murdered.

According to m-w.com:
Abate:
1 a : to put an end to b : NULLIFY
2 a : to reduce in degree or intensity : MODERATE b : to reduce in value or amount : make less especially by way of relief
3 : DEDUCT, OMIT
4 a : to beat down or cut away so as to leave a figure in relief b obsolete : BLUNT
5 : DEPRIVE
abet:
1 : to actively second and encourage (as an activity or plan) : FORWARD
2 : to assist or support in the achievement of a purpose
The two words are almost opposites.
(I know I shouldn't be knit-peeking)
Well I was about 8 years old and had a copy (what's this?!?!?) and not the original game...
Sounds more like an anti-piracy measure than a hard game, then.
