After careful consideration and employing meta-analytic procedures based upon comments in this and previous stories about violence and video games, it is conclusive that this guy is a moron.
How about a log of each admin's activities, including reversions, bans, etc, and a way for non-admins to challenge actions (without spending countless hours in an appeal process worthy of a federal court).
Why does somebody driving down the (public) road taking a picture of your (public) license plate on your car parked in (public) plain view and comparing it to a list need oversight?
Tracking games and achievements have both gotten simpler, and Valve has dropped the Internet Explorer rendering engine in favor of WebKit.
So does that mean my game will stop locking up every time I join a game because idiotic admins put horrible bloated HTML bastardizations as their MOTD?
This isn't GoDaddy the domain registrar looking for your passwords, this is GoDaddy the hosting provider wanting to log in to a customer's VPS that's running on their hardware, and most likely is calming down a paranoid admin if he's yelling at Slashdot about a "security breach" when support wanted to log in.
Why would, nay, should they log in when there are no indications your box is infected? Asking them for help is a bit different then them arbitrarily accessing it whenever they feel like it, 'we have a process' or not. Most sane providers would send you something like "Hey, we think there's malware $foo coming from your box $bar because $baz, can you please look into it" rather then straight accessing your data.
A federal appeals court in California ruled in another case three months ago that a national community standard must be applied when regulating obscene materials over the Internet.
A three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit, however, wrote that they "decline to follow the reasoning" of the California court.
Such use has resulted in mistrials, exclusion of jurors, and imposition of fines.... The instructions state jurors must not [...] communicate through any blog or website, through any internet chat room, or by way of any other social networking websites, including Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, and YouTube.
Because we all know Facebook and YouTube are full of impartial people who know anything about case law.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the vast majority of people will pick not going to prison vs providing data to people the law wont allow just because it's 'Open Source'.
Being FLOSS has nothing to do with it, they'd still have to do this if they were hosting proprietary code.
While they're really the only group that does a lot of linux benchmarking, I'd put a *large* grain of salt in their results.
They have no problem blindly accepting something like this without investigating why it is so much faster and seeing if there's a problem with their testing.
Seems like something they should have caught during the thing called play-testing. Evidently they skipped that part along with coding dedicated servers;)
After all, take a look at all the Madden games for console, people pay $60 for a game every year which is exactly the same except somebody replaced a few textures and swapped out the names. All this shows, in my opinion, is that people buy the hype.
34k a month? I dont feel sorry they went after him.
When police raided his terraced home in October 2007, they found almost 300,000 dollars in his accounts and the site had 200,000 members, who had downloaded 21 million files.
Mr Ellis said the money was used to pay for the server's rental and any "surplus" was intended to eventually buy a server.
I'm calling shenanigans on that too. $300k would buy some pretty nice servers, much less a server.

What does Apple gain by removing these things?

Anything else you're too lazy to find yourself?
Then ride a bike, problem solved. I just don't see the BFD.

There are actually people watching those specifically to violate the privacy of UK citizens where's the outrage there?

Does anybody think Barnes and Noble would be willing to post a sign saying your book was #38 in its category on Amazon?
Yes?
"Hey they book got good reviews, it must be good, let me buy it."
Impulse purchasing ftw.
This is surprising how?

So, is it irony that their site links to "Ethical Hacker Network"?
Might GIMP soon include RAW conversion? I sure hope so.
You mean a version besides UFRaw plugin that has been out for 5 years? Or do you mean built-in?
New tech makes old achievements irrelivant. Get used to it.
ORLY? I beg to differ.
Making 500k for helping other people share material under copyright? Yea, jealous of the sum, but not of the method, shows a lot about his ethics.
