Governments exists solely for oppressing people, making sure they are "in line". There is no such thing as government that serves the people, by definition. It's the people which serve and obey the government.
Those filthy employers who do wish to dig up some dirt would not hire someone without a Facebook account. It'll be considered too "creepy and suspicious".
As Russian "government" is fond of Iran, China and Syria, this practice will soon be implemented there. There were already voices to ban "circumvention" of recently introduced blacklist, meaning ban of VPN, proxy, TOR and any other technology which might be a nuisance for the ruling criminals.
Silence, peasant! Your laughable fantasies about your "rights" and how the elite class is meant to "represent" you are blasphemy. Obey and be a productive worker, and may be your masters will let you be for a while.
I agree with you my anonymous friend. Unfortunately in our crazy world crazy bastards seize the power and make their sick ideas and psychological issues into laws.
The more you wait, the higher your expectations become. I think HL3 long passed the "Duke Nukem Forever" threshold, when anything they make will only disappoint people (no matter how good it is). Valve is dying as a game developer, recent layoffs of developers proves it.
Many of the DDOS nodes don't know they're being hijacked for a DDOS. Name and shame an innocent person?
They are NOT innocent. They let their computers be used in stealing, censorship, blackmailing, spam and other evil stuff. It doesn't matter if it is stupidity, ignorance or malicious intent.
If your car keeps hitting other cars you should hand over your license.
Try leaving a laptop or bicycle unlocked and unattended. Fifty years ago you could have gotten away with it except for perhaps the most urbanized colleges.
It's not about THQ getting money or not. By paying for this you're basically saying it's okay for HiB to sell DRM'ed Win-only game subscriptions (seriously, look up Steam license, you're not actually buying games). There is no other meaning to this.
Corporations are virtual entitty. He tried to fuck with "priveledged" people, so he must be severely punished in order to demonstrate the power to other peasants. Sending a message is more important than any peasents' business.
On my work PC I have Windows 7 x64, and starting with some version (somewhat like 14.0.2) FF had a serious bug in 32-bit version. It would just stall my computer after some time. Disabling plugins/extensions didn't help. Switched to x64 version and the problem went away.
As much as I love Linux, it always has at best 80% of needed functionality, 20% is missing. Years go by, new technologies and hardware are released, 80/20 rule is still true.
My only problem with bitcoin is that it is pretty much useless or unnecessarily complicating to try and use them. When I can easily pay at the pump, or checkout at the grocery store with bitcoins, it might have some value for me.
That will never happen. No government would accept alternative currency, money is their only source of power and legitimacy. With no control over economy they would be a bunch of clowns in suits and ties, printing laws and bills that no one would give a f*** about.

You say "off" and and your XBOX, TV, hifi, laptop, phone, tablet, air conditioning and lights all turn off simultaneously.
Just make sure there are no people with cardiac stimulators nearby when you say it.

I still don't know what Chrome is better at. Except very heavy and annoying marketing.
Next thing they'll add will be DRM for web pages, so you won't be able to view the HTML code.
I mean, WTF? Millions of $$$ were invested in the web page, and now some greasy nerd can view it freely? Protect! Protect! Intellectual property!

There's a reason we have jealousy and envy. That we're driven to change and better our lives.
What for? If you're never satisfied, you cannot make anything "better".

Except muslims deny free speech. So it's actually bullshit.
CSRF verification failed. Request aborted.
Well, duh. Will wait when it's up again.
Who cares if they're compromised computers
I don't. Why should I?

Wow! I'd like to see a 50-year old laptop.
This company is near bankrupt.
RiP. I shed no tear for corporations. It's business. No reason to feel pity for them. And no reason to buy Win-only game subscriptions.

And I'm not being sarcastic.

It's already done.
it's obvious that the iPad won't run Mac OS X apps
No, it's not.

Books? These are some readable computer files, not books.
