I think the answer you are looking for is Microsoft. They've made it the easiest to write games for their console, and actually supported hacking the kinect to work on PCs by releasing drivers and working on a forthcoming SDK.
the Earth orbits the solar barycenter, which is not always inside the surface of the sun
You anti-science propagandist! HEY EVERYBODY! Your.Master doesn't believe the Earth orbits the Sun! He can't be trusted, lets hack his shit for spreading lies on the internet. After all, the only way to deal with information I disagree with is to respond with force!
Maybe we should just run to a nice little farm out in the middle of nowhere and start hurling exlposives all over the place, all the while over a huge speaker saying "We do not want to appear to be master grenadiers, we are just merely concerned you have chosen such an insecure piece of land to build your life on. Look how easy it was for this to happen!" Or start murdering people for eating fatty foods, they're asking for it! Better yet, lets all wage wars on companies because we don't like that other people volunteer to be a part of the lock-in and "screwing over" we are so righteously worried about. After all, We know better than you, and We are prepared to make your choices for you through force.
"First they came for the [CD Buyers with rootkits] but I didn't care, because it wasn't affecting me.
"Then they came for the [Linux PS3 Owners] but I didn't care, because it wasn't affecting me.
"Next they came for the [PSN customers by losing their credit information in public] but I didn't care, because it wasn't affecting me....."
Is it lost on everybody that these hacks are doing more damage to current Sony customers than the stuff "former" (supposedly) Sony customers are complaining Sony did to them? Yet the hackers are, somehow, hilarious and karmic while Sony is evil-stuffed evil covered in evil sprinkles? Oh, they lost people's credit card information it's of course their fault. It's not like even RSA is capable of being hacked just like every bank is capable of being robbed. A lot of companies just straight up lose that information instead of having it taken from them. But no, lets just all crowd around and cheer the gang rape because Sony shouldn't have been dressing that way.
Oh yeah it was so freaking easy thats why there is a wildly popular service just like it for free and nobody is worried about MS taking Skype away from Linux and Apple.
How long has this been going on? I thought anonymous-lovers sounded like they were all really in to fight club, perhaps I've just been missing direct references. Maybe I should just rewatch it to make sure.
You're a complete idiot and clearly you don't understand the situation. When it gets to the point that hacking is bringing down multi-million dollar networks, doing millions of dollars worth of damage and people are flippant about it of course you are going to catch some attention. The fact that these people are loosely bound together and there is no better term for them than "anonymous" (as they call themselves, even) means we need to get a network of nations aligned to make the internet safe. Not unlike an area overrun with gangs. Oh my god don't they know that anybody can be a gang just by saying "hey, we're a gang"?! Yes, they do, you moron. So what's your answer, do nothing, don't call them gangs since anybody can be a gang? So what they're going to do is just what they do with organized crime that may or may not have one leader or one command structure. They find the active people that are doing the damage and they take them out.
It's not like they haven't done the same kind of stuff with almost every political movement, every form of organized crime, every illegal cartel, even the civil rights movement. Learn from history. Oh wait, I forgot, stupid word play was the heart of this matter. Ignore everything I just said. Don't they know what "anonymous" means? DER HERRRR HERRRRRRRRRRRR HERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
So I guess the thing to do would be to not sell works when it is unclear how to do so legally. Especially when you're constantly suing people for copyright infringement.
There was, that was the problem. When that many people were confronted with the reality of the situation, kdawsons balls are unable to be found, a riot broke out. I think a girl died.
The assumption that AI that acts like a human is conscious is a little bit of a leap, don't you think? It seems to me that consciousness can only be experienced, not observed. In short, right or wrong, consciousness can be denied of any man-made being by anybody who doesn't want to believe it and there will likely be no red faces, just more bickering. Hell, I'm still not sure I'm not the only conscious being in the universe or that I really am in the universe. Not that that is deep, there's just a huge leap in logic from "I have consciousness" to "other people are conscious" to "things that can act like people are conscious".
Rights are not just capable of being violated by the government, government is an evil we need to help preserve our rights from each other. Or is kidnapping you and making you eat your own feces not a violation of human rights? Can I do that with a clone? What if a biological entity brewed in a tube is identical to one made out of a semen and eggs salad tossed in a womb, can I legally (or even just is it possible to) rape it? If you and I get in a sissy bitch fight and you scrape some of my skin cells from under your finger nails and use that to reconstruct my brain and my likeness, then sell copies of it to employers, women and men to do with as they please is that a violation of my rights? If you make a brain that is intelligent, passes the turing test, can communicate emotions and can innovate can we really say it is less human? If you are going to say that then you can say that about anything that isn't you. Is it your philosophy that you only recognize "rights" in others because if you do not you will likely be punished, not because it is the moral/ethical thing to do, or is your definition of human strictly something created by creatures that look like you bumping uglies and the rest of it doesn't matter?
Yeah, which means it can be used to mean any of those things, and the opposite of one of those things is to go from better to worse. Since it works in one case it works.
Do tell us the moral and philosophical ramifications then if you have them figured out, you self-righteous ass. To assert that only an idiot would be concerned about morality and philosophy relating to how we treat man-made consciousness is beyond arrogant. There are philosophical quandries to making sufficiently advanced robots, at what point do things get human rights, what does this mean for animal rights and probing in to the essence of what consciousness is are all philosophical/moral debates, in addition to the "Stop playing God!" crowd. Holy crap I want to punch you in the mouth you're so blindingly stupid. I can not believe you mastered the use of a keyboard.
LAN party like a real man. I have three computers at my place for SC2, 1 360 for dev and streaming and 1 boxee box for streaming. The remeaining 360 has no purpose and I stopped using as soon as I got my Boxee. When the next generation comes out I will likely only buy one for my room and leave the Boxee downstairs. When a new Boxee-like comes out I will probably buy that because it will be cheaper than an Xbox 720 I would only use for streaming.

Can Steve Ballmer take credit for over night creating however many million Games for Windows users over night? Steve Jobs, you are a jackass.
The only time semi-colons are used outside of academia is in an attempt to show off; see?

No they aren't, that would be politicians and voters. Hack them.

I have 5 or 6 friends with their own accounts. I installed on all of them and people can just log in.

Clearly you aren't aware that on the internet, we're all lawyers, doctors, and nuclear-biologists.
I genuinely expected you to say you were a doctor since you said "My refusal". You gave up too easily, I was prepared to let you win this one.
