He opened the door to mass piracy on the platform, that's undeniable.
Allow me to deny it. The group that opened the door was fail0verflow, not geohot. They're the ones who cracked the encryption and released most of the keys, geohot took it one step further and published the big one that enabled piracy - something that was trivial to do with fail0verflow's work, he just happened to be the quickest. Had he not done it, absolutely nothing would have changed except someone else would be blamed for it.
True enough, if you're trying to match a specific IP address. But unless you're trying to frame someone you probably don't care. Any old address will do, as long as it isn't yours and can't be traced back to you.
That's why I place "spoof" in quotation marks - you're not truly spoofing your address, you're just borrowing someone else's. which is good enough for government work. Or avoiding government's work, in this case.
That's fine for New Jersey, but most other places did not interpret things that way. Hence the nineteenth amendment:
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Sure, there are only 75... if you ignore the 1,670 other games. Most of which are utter garbage, which is all the more reason to have a reliable rating system.
It means he's five years old and incapable of debating like an adult. He's probably sticking his fingers in his ears and shouting "I can't hear you, la la la lala!" as well.
It has come to our attention you are operating a website known as "assbook". This clearly infringes on our trademarked use of the word "book" and you are required to pay damages to the amount of 8 gajillion dollars. If you do not comply, we will have no choice but to send the flying monkey lawyers after you.
1) Users are familiar with typing http:/// . If you went https only, without a redirection from http:/// you'd lose traffic. Simple fix, do a redirection.
Are they? In my experience, most users are familiar with going to that magic goggle page that somehow knows exactly what they're looking for. And I, who does know the difference between Google and the rest of the internet, skips the http:/// altogether.
Though it occurs to me as I write this that the browser prepends http:/// to your URL when you do that, which means you'd still need a redirect and makes this whole post pointless.
I'm not sure you'd call this an "argument", but I do most of my coding in Python. Now that I've gotten used to its syntax, whenever I have to use a bracketed language like C++ or Javascript I get annoyed with having to deal with all these superfluous braces. Maybe it's just personal preference, but I don't miss them in Python.

I think "game" is a very generous term for most of the dreck available on the XBLIG marketplace...
Don't get me wrong, there are some gems in there, but it has far more noise than signal.
I have researched this, and I can tell you I've never seen anyone take the "ice shield" theory seriously. Some have taken a rather vague verse early in Genesis to mean a canopy of water surrounded the earth pre-flood, but even if you were to somehow suspend water above the earth like that it's been shown it would increase temperatures and atmospheric pressure to well above livable norms. Also, the ark as described in the bible is large enough to carry two of every genus twice over, which is close enough for government work.

Unless you "spoof" it with a proxy server, e.g. Tor.
Which scales the entire page, not just the text - exactly what he was complaining about.
That's not all it does...
Have they ever lied to you before? In this room, I mean?
You're cute. Are those the only options I have?
No. You could also just be a jackass.

Here's a hint: do what they did at Fukushima 4-6, not what they did at Fukushima 1-3.
Shut down the plant for maintenance before an earthquake/tsunami stikes?
possibly higher perfuming machines.
Agreed. I'm tired of the Eu de Jobs scent, let's see something a little more Gatesian for a change.

Your post + your sig raises some interesting questions.
*whoosh*
But where do you get the energy to run the desalinization plant, given that desalinization requires oodles of power?
1) Look up..
You're going to get it from my ceiling?

And you need a computer with the power of a supercomputing cluster to do that?
