Yes, but tyrants in these countries were supposed to do it. However, US states freedom of speech as its most sacred principle, yet its government follows other oppressive regimes. It's funny how US government declares those countries undemocratic evil "enemies", yet does the exact thing to its own people.
The world comes closer and closer to the "1984", soon there will be three empires without any difference between them.
The nationalization and segmentation of Internet has begun. It was a nice place with no borders and equal for everyone. But of course, old power-greedy bastards has awoken and now want to subjugate everyone under their rule, claim "territories" that they own and build armies to fight with each other. And common folks as always are blinded with "patriotism" propaganda, while really are just used as a resource for some self-proclaimed sociopathic "leaders". Since the dawn of ages. Humanity, will you ever learn?
whatever marketdroid imbecile thought that every new release must have a major version number markup should frankly be shot. And then forced to use IE 6 for the rest of his days.
I find it bitter that prostitution needs to exist at the first place. I mean, we all have our bodies, and all people enjoy having sex, so sex must be so easy to get...
But this is a real world and female sexuality has a price. Let it be legal at least.
I don't see it in the donation list. Where is EFF when it needed most? I may be an evil person, but I don't want to donate money to US and UK hospitals, I don't care.
Yet it's the US which banned providing internet services for Iran, Cuba and others long time ago. And now when Iran blocks obvious US propaganda site, it's now evil. I have no love for Iran, but... US, shut the fuck up.
Half-life game series was being sold in Russia for 1/10th of the US price. But it came region-locked, if you had an IP address which did not look Russian to Steam - you couldn't play your purchased game. I believe this lock is still in place.
I think Germany is affected too, due to its censorship laws (no human violence in games). I heard they have special editions of Left4Dead and others, and you cannot play other versions.

Doom 3 Source Released

LucasArts? If only they'd release Jedi Knight II and Jedi Academy source code, which is base on Quake 3 anyway... But, nooooo.
Like most addictions, the addict themselves are hurt, and those around them also.
I fail to see your point. If you're comparing porn to drug addiction, well... Drug addiction is only bad because it makes addicts to turn violent and commit crimes in order to pay for the dose, they become dangerous to other people. Other than that, you cannot force people to stop doing things, even if you think it's hurting them.
The only thing it will change is that cartels will be selling drugs legally instead of illegally.
It's not a drug related problem. It's an organized group of thugs with no morality or mercy. You cannot negotiate with them, you cannot reason with them. The only thing normal people can do is to hunt them down and exterminate them, like very dangerous animals, which they really are.
Being somewhat close to one of the Russian space projects, I can say it's not the funding that is the problem. It's that everyone care only about sucking as much money as possible from different sources and getting away with it. Burying several billion $ project in space is a perfect example of this attitude. You'll see, no one will be held responsible for this, it's just *puff*, and all the money has sadly disappeared with no result because of some unfortunate event.
Whenever you hear about another ambitious Russian project, remember: science in Russia is dead. Period.
In fact I'd advise not doing any business with Russia at all.
I don't think both Google and Mozilla are 'insane';)
Yes, they fucking are. Not companies as a whole, but some of their people close to the top are clearly incompetent, trying to save their asses by proposing "trendy" features. They do not care about the product, only about getting the promotion.
Actually, I'm glad I don't have to read mail lists, changelogs, diff files and other ultra-nerd stuff just to extract some basic information. Phoronix is the only at least semi-professional resource of news on linux graphics I know.
I got 20+ viruses despite having Security Essentials installed and updated. There were times when SE was leaking memory fast so I had to restart it. And sometimes, after an update it kept nagging with "Restart now!" messages every 5 minutes.
I won't advise it to anyone. My solution? Switch to Ubuntu.
These bundles are really great, which is measured by their outstanding success. Somehow they always pick the greatest indie games. I hope so to see Limbo in the next one.

Makes sense. Undead browser for the undead.

I hear sarcasm. So what is wrong with the concept of prostitution?
You know, if it was some sort of international organization, I'd consider it. But US and UK only... Nope.

When US demanded back weaponry and equipment used by Georgians against Russians.

And thank you for not being a lazy excuse of a parent and spending your time with your kids.
It'd be so much better for both children and the Internet if they were separate from each other.

Counting all the times I've heard about JavaScript boosts, everything written in that language must be faster than quantum computing now.

KDE 4, Windows 7, Windows Vista
I still hate it. It's good to have XFCE around.

What I wonder is how exactly Oracle will turn this into an immensely dickish move
The license, man. The license.
But without Steve Jobs, personal computers would never have become personal.
That's like saying that for example without Atari there would be no video games. Quite wrong.
Does it have one? Because it's a slideshow on my notebook.
Also, I thought 3D with h/w acceleration was available in Flash for several years now. Didn't see anyone use it though, except technical demos.
RDF implementation? V-cards? Who cares about this?
