While 12% seems reasonable for the amount of people who have responded to spam at least once (think of the first time a banner told you you were the 1,000,000th visitor), I suspect the number is much, much lower for the percentage of people who continuously respond to spam.
Yesterday, I found out that the headphones for the iPhone have a button and a speaker, so I went to the world wide web and looked for some apps that used this multi-button but couldn't find a single case of an app that takes advantage of this button. I'm not sure if the resources needed to use it are in the SDK, but it would be interesting to see what some of these developers could come up with if they had access to this neat little feature.

So how did it get to this? I made a joke about internet filtering following this guy around and now we're debating basic human rights. I suspect a butterfly somewhere in Asia is to blame.
Do they also give fines for littering to people who wreck their cars and leave debris on the side of the road? I don't mean the whole car, but stuff like smashed headlights and windows.
With this amazing new software, your smart phone can notify you when you are in a coffee shop, and when you are at home masturbating. Will wonders never ceas?
Have the phone tell everyone what you're doing at every moment in time.
Someone get on that.
Then when it happens, we'll have a YRO article about how this could be an invasion of privacy!
I'm glad to hear that the new DLC will introduce some of the most powerful stuff in the game. Point Lookout didn't give me anything new to carry around as part of my arsenal.
This used to happen to me all the time. I think about something then later in the day, that same thing pops up! I'm not talking about finding a quarter on the ground, I'm talking about insanly odd things. This morning, I was wondering how deaf people wake themselves up in the morning, then I get into work and see THIS!
Here's a few tips from my experiences.
Try www.projecteuler.net Yes, they're problems with a well defined goal. But it's always up to you how to go about doing them.
It's probably one of the best sites to help you develop problem solving skills using programming and forces you to delve into the often vast pool of predefined classes and methods that you will undoubtedly use again in your future if you're a dedicated programmer.
I'd also suggest trying to recreate programs you've used before. One of the first things I tried to recreate was minesweeper; a project that vastly improved my recursive function programming, frame organization, and event listening.
The point I'm trying to make is, the best way to improve your skills and put the knowledge you already have to good use is to just program. Go out (Well, since we're talking programming, I guess we'll stay in) and just experiment. You don't even need to have a goal in mind. Experiment with the limits of a language. Go see how well arrays handle redefinition. Find instances where you prefer one method over another. Try to improve on your past work and examples that you've been given.
Just do it.
Honestly, I've never had a controller that I couldn't get into. Controllers may differ greatly from one system to the next, but it's rather easy to get acustomed to the feel of it. You can even find your own ways of using it. My friend thought I was nuts when he saw me holding the N64 controller by the right and the middle protrusions for certain parts of games, but that was the easiest way for me at the time and it worked. I don't think there has ever been or will there ever be a "perfect" controller because each one can be adapted to.
What will this do to the gold market? Will the guy on the Cash4Gold commercials become even more annoying and have larger graphs to show just how much he profits from buying gold from people at prices well below market price then selling it when the prices go up?
Google has always appealed to me because of it's VERY basic homepage. No extra crap unless you want it there (iGoogle). I understand that it would be hard for a website to thrive without a method of revenue, either through a store or ads, but I tend to stick with sites that keep ads to a minimum. I've even stopped going to sites because of the overbearing amounts of ads. Slashdot has a nice system too. Giving you the option to turn off ads if you contribute.
Right as I pressed submit, I figured I should explain my logic a bit more. First off, the formula I said is based off of the formula for the number of blocks in a pyramid of n layers with the number of blocks in layer increases by one when you go down one layer. It's just a sum of all the numbers from 1 to n. I'm also ignoring any server costs that the additional hosted domains may cause.

At least you'll get the Rad Regeneration perk

Take a .png of the Mona Lisa and convert it to a torrent and it downloads several thousand hours of voice notes by Da Vinci... and porn
North Koreans are still told that the mighty leader Kim-Jong Il brought down the evil western internet.

Yes, but no filtering.
Does molten rock really mean there has to be a volcano? The thermal map shows that some parts get up to 715 K, hot enough to melt lead.
Just please don't move to America.
Trying to figure out what an Idle article was doing in YRO.

Fixed that for you.

A computer can do something in a fraction of the time it would take a human!
That way, you'll have the most stable and reliable connection imaginable.
Considering that this is the most complete topographical map to date, I doubt that anyone has ever compared two maps of 99% of the earth's surface.
It would be neat to have this done again in 50 years and have an overlay comparison of the two.

But that requires extra clicking. I can't be bothered to do that.
