It's usually the same guys that have 60 extensions running and enough toolbars to cover half their screen while running 6 youtube music videos in separate tabs.
That's actually kind of a cool idea. Depending on the quality of the speaker, you could even have it emit a frequency which penetrates through concrete/debris easier and use a high-end microphone to detect it from longer ranges.
If they were that smart, they'd also realise that thos 30 viruses they have installed that "Aren't causing me any problems" would start costing them LOTS of money to not remove.
I can't believe how many people I know that are actually PROUD that their machine is running with dozens of viruses/crap.
I don't actually find StackOverflow (or the other sites powered by their engine) to be very bad at all. The javascript is for voting/posting without refresh. I haven't noticed any "meaningless blobs/arrows/etc" on their sites either.
There are 2 types of restrictions that can be put in. You can say "all porn sites must be on.xxx" and "all sites on.xxx must be porn". The first one would LITERALLY put 90% of the worlds websites on ONE TLD (you do the math). The second one is easily circumvented with "yeah, our contact page has a tiny, barely visible naked chick in the bottom-right corner, so we deserve access to this really cool TLD for our deathmetal band"
Either way, I give he TLD 2 years before it's completely useless.
You must play a very small selection of video games. Many video games (though most adults will refuse to admit it) teach planning, teamwork, resource management, hand-eye coordination, critical thinking in the midst of mayhem and long-term strategizing among others. Just because you played nothing but pacman and space invaders, doesn't mean everyone does.
Not compared to VNC it's not. I'll admit it's nowhere near as fast as a CLI, but I've configured my mother's thunderbird settings via remote-SSH from afar with little trouble.
Except when you need to log into corporate servers. If you company uses windows name servers for logging into your work files, etc it can be quite a PITA to connect from linux (or mac for that matter).
Believe me, I go though the same BS using linux in college. I can do anything (and more) that the windows guys can do, but logging into the network the network folders is nearly impossible due to MS's god-awful protocols.
Ok, seriously, what games actually require firewall modification when running as a client? I have played probably close to a hundred computer games on my machine from behind a firewall protected router and the only time I've EVER had to open ports for a game was when I was running the server that somebody else wanted to connect to.
This doesn't even bring up the risks of OPENING those ports in the first place. Even if you trust 100% the game that wants the port open, that port remains open when the game isn't running, leave a possibly now-exploitable port open. Of course the likely hood of this with high-number ports is slim, it still kind of defeats the purpose of the firewall in the first place if you start poking holes in it for every game you install.

Then you must remember when websites were more text than flash/pictures/videos. But yeah, blame it on the guy who wrote the browser...
The 10,000 slave Leias wouldn't be the problem, it would be the mess the nerds would make right afterwards...

You forgot #4. Getting OUT of that spot later!!!
Wow, I knew the first computer bug was a real bug, but I never knew there was a PICTURE of it taped to a report! Thanks for the find.

I would LOVE to see ANYONE try to force 90% of the internet (including those from hundreds of countries) to reside under a single TLD.
Exactly.

People are trained and PAID to search satelite photography for beaver dams???
Or have the ability to paint fake targets on redundant/cheap parts of your own ship to mess with the enemy's targetting system.

I have a network printer, so ssh -L9100:printer_ip:9100 home_server_ip
Then just install a printer as localhost.

It's comments like yours where most people chose the "Post Anonymous" button.
I don't recall the finder returning the item, they SOLD it!

gah, "*now"
Ok smarty pants, no define "sufficient"!

Yes, but at least the subversion version actually exists :P
Well, technically that's still above you...
