Being a geek, locked away at your desk staring at a computer, what exactly are you going to be taking pictures of to search for?!... wait. Don't answer that.
Seriously though, I really like the idea of having broadcast gaming as big and cool as traditional sports. A good CTF or Assault match with experienced players can be fun to watch, but it's going to take a long time before the format is perfected.
Not flamebait? What fantasy world are you living in? It's actually flamebait AND a troll all in one -- which unfortunately, I've wasted my time responding too.
What's scary is that page doesn't even detail what the test will do on your machine! Clicking the link is risky enough even if you did know what it was going to do (ie. how do you know their server hasn't been compromised and the test altered).
All it says is "The test requires that you have Windows installed in 'c:/windows/'." Uh... Why? is it actually doing something in there? Does it just need to access cmd.exe?

With Safari 1.2.4 (v125.12), I get a "Safari cannot find the Internet plug-in." error dialog and then the beachball of death. Joy. Well, at least it's not opening the terminal.
This is really a bummer. For me especially, because I religiously watch evey broadcast that Apple does. I'll be happy though if they at least put it up after it's done.
However, a good number of the various Mac sites are are always active with minute-by-minute breakdowns of what is going on during these events. Usually, even going so far as to keep updating an auto-refreshing page as the event happens.

Please let me take a moment and thank you for the immensely enjoyable evening my girlfriend and I had last night while going to see "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events." Amusingly enough, our night out was far from unfortunate! In fact, it was so wonderful that I thought I'd write to you about our experience.
The theater parking lot was packed full and we drove around for a good 5 minutes looking for a spot so we had time to enjoy playing a game of "find license plates from every state in the U.S."
I had brought $30, but the movie tickets were only $18.00 for the two of us, and only $8.00 for the slightly stale, oversized small popcorn and bottled water for us to share. I saved a whole $4.00, which was more than enough to pay the expressway tolls on the way home!
We got to the theater early enough to enjoy 10 minutes of pre-show slides that told us all about our local businesses and special offers they were having just for us. And after that, we got to see another 10 minutes of commercials that we had never seen before. Imagine our surprise when our luck hadn't ran out and we got to see 10 more minutes of new movies that we'll get to see in the coming months!
The excitement and anticipation for the movie to start was almost unbearable when it finally did! The movie was definitely had some unique aspects and we really loved the credits at the end of the film -- which was very fortunate indeed as it gave us a moment to stretch our backs which were a little sore.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention that people were much better behaved than usual too. There were only a few people that constantly coughed during the movie and only a few more that talked on their cellphones or just talked about the movie to their neighbors almost quietly enough so as not to hear. One individual was actually entertaining during the pre-show as he walked down the isle staring back at people and sternly yelling "What?!" to everyone that made eye contact.
Thank you again for providing such quality entertainment that rounded out a wonderful evening.
Sincerely, A happy movie-goer

As sad as it is, all that really happened...
You don't have to be even mildly coherent to understand why people are downloading/trading movies.
In the default.NET installation, yes - it favors IE. But to make the blanket statement that all of the built in controls won't work properly in other browsers is nothing but FUD.
To complain that Microsoft made a new development framework defaulted for their browser, but at the same time included a vast amount of flexibility to modify it as you see fit is also nonsensical.
There are plenty of tutorials and samples for configuring the.NET engine to render the same in all modern browsers, and it's hardly as difficult as you make it out to be. I agree -- if you can't figure out how to include a BrowserCaps block in machine. or web.config to change the rendering mode, ASP.NET is probably not for you. Personally, I've had very little difficulty writing apps that work identically in all of the major modern browsers.
The only included controls that I have experienced trouble with are the built-in validation controls - though I admitedly avoid most of the built in ones. There are much improved alternatives to the built in validation controls -- a few of which are completely free and/or open source. You can of course, easily write your own as well.
As far as the other controls go, there are equally as many alternatives that are cross-browser compatible with little or no effort. A few minutes in ASP.NET's Control Gallery will get you started. And again, you can always write your own.
I'm no Microsoft Apologist(R) for sure (owning 5 Macs to my two PCs and lots of Apple stock), but to say that ASP.NET is crap because it doesn't work right in non-IE browsers is ridiculous. In my opinion, ASP.NET is one of the few things that Microsoft has got mostly right.
That doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement (it's still officially at version 1.1 after all). I would love to see out of the box browser compatiblity and VisualStudio.NETs HTML handling is atrocious -- constantly mangling my hand-formatted code when switching into design mode. I anxiously await a production release of v2.0 where it is rumored that these items, among others, have been addressed:)
That doesn't mean you still can't spread viruses for other operating systems.
I run Virex/OSX and occassionally (though rarely) find something on my HD that's carrying a Windows payload.
The possibility of one of those files somehow winding up on Winboxen in my multi-platform network does exist, and if so, it could be as deadly a situation as if the Windows PC originated the file to begin with.

You do realize that a large percentage of spam comes from compromised systems, whether it be someones personal home computer hooked up to their DSL/Cable connection or a formmail CGI script sitting on a web site somewhere, right?
A centrally-implemented system that tracks every spammer by IP would do nothing but track everyone BUT the spammer.
As an example, my formmail honeypot gets hundreds of attempted attacks every week. If it was actually sending the spam, a centrally implemented system tracking IPs would accuse me of being the spammer and not the spammers themselves.
Arguably, you could say this would be a good thing -- the power to track all compromised systems -- but I really don't want any government organization that involved in anything related to the net.

You are a genuis and should be a television executive.
I actually thought "What Not To Warez" should be a show about which software was not worth the time to download though

There are tons of current mainstream games for the Mac and many others on the way. And it's not even hard to find them.
Touché :)
One of my buddies way back in high school used to have a saying:
I usually think that to myself anytime one of these type of things is reported or otherwise mentioned
lol - sadly, it looks like quite a few ;)
I guess that there will be a few broken cameras when the admins all go back to work on Monday.
lol - it would seem to me that they their automated tools are mistaking a slashdotting for an infection.
Ah... even scarier than I imagined

1) Buy a quality third-party ad removal product
2) ????^H^H^H^HBundle product and destroy competition
3) Profit!
4) Add useless features and security holes
5) Profit! some more
Couldn't resist

Something like that already exists and it's very useful

Safari 1.2.4 (v125.12) is so secure, that when I try to run the test, the browser completely refuses and quits, protecting me from the exploits!

In regards to portability, look towards Mono.
