During World War One, telegraph operators could be identified by their unique styles. In this way, the movements of military units could be tracked. I don't see how this is much different.
What happens when someone writes something defamatory? Will the 'defamed' sue the community? What would happen if someone decided to scrawl death threats on the thing? It's a great idea, but it's bound to annoy some wank in some way.
They're run by talented volunteers. They don't have banner ads. They don't have the turn a profit. Sure, they're biased, but that's the point. For starters, check out:
$2,500 is nothing when you consider how much it would cost to 'clean up' after a major security breach. I doubt many larger companies will have a problem with forking over $70k.
Unfortunately, the media is associating P2P with Napster and stealing. On the other hand, the little man loves his free music, so he might get freenet! It's a double edged sword, folks!
Call me a cynic, but has Seti@Home found anything important yet? Even if we find aliens, then we need to wait a few hundred years to get a call back. And what happens if they miss the signal entirely?
We've been using the radio for 100 years, and it's starting to be replaced. What makes you think that they're piping on the radio? I mean it is such a shortlived thing.
Let's get real, ET is probably out there, but we aren't going to find him anytime soon. Put your cycles to good use and crack RSA.
they could form a cartel to pay players LESS. Sure these guys bring in tons on ticket sales, merchandising and advertising, but they're replacable. If they strike, just fire a few and bring in some of the guys from the minor leagues.
PiD was the first 3d Mac game to use real time texture mapping. Technically it's an RPG though.. an RPG with guns and mazes.. Sounds like a FPS with a story!
Yes, Bungie Ever heard of Jason Jones? Alex Seropian? Ever heard of Minotaur? Pathways into Darkness? Marathon? The Myth Series? Oni? Halo?
These guys blow the competition out of the water AND they've been around for over ten years! So why the weren't they mentioned?
Give me a break here, these guys have put out much better stuff than Westwood, iD AND Blizzard (yes, I feel that Myth is better than Starcraft, and no, I'm not trolling).
Why run stories about established developers? Why not mention some of the newer guys like Sphidia (these guys are making a game called Dynasty) and Island Four (not much there, you might want to check here.)
Nazi's believe that Jews and other ethnic groups aren't humans. Should I let them believe what they want?
Pedophile's believe that it's right to engage in sexual intercourse with children.
The Taliban thinks that it's OK to blow of sacred relics.
I don't think that people have the right to believe what they want. Religion is a dangerous weapon.
The Pig Latin encoder was horrible. They could have easily encrypted the search strings and then decrypted them when they reaced the other clients, but instead, it renamed ALL your files.
So what's going to happen? I'll need a box for DVDs, a console for games, a pr0n box and an internet box? What happens when some zealot script kiddie decideds to make a virus in assembler to burn out the pr0n box BIOS?

Don't worry, there are plenty of great sites left!

George Orwell was right.
Now yer a real boy Pinnochio! It looks odd to say the least. It might be cooler if they broke some of Asimov's Laws of robots..
It's either 9 or 11, last I checked.
Microsoft gives us yet ANOTHER reason not to trust them.
And /. screws up the formatting.. It thinks iostream is HTML! Blame me for not previewing.
#include int perfection(const int &original, int divisor, int i) { divisor--; if(divisor > 0) i=perfection(original,divisor,i); if(divisor>0) if(original%divisor==0) i+=divisor; return(i); } void main(){ int original,divisor,i,b=0; original = 1; do{original++; divisor = original; i = perfection(original, divisor, b); if(i==original)coutiendl; }while(original 8129); }

First.. nevermind, I'm way too late.
No need to mod, move along.. If you didn't know, laser communication is possible.

A writer at the Providence Journal is paralyzed from the neck down. He writes by staring at letters on the screen. Seriously.

Good idea, horrible execution!
Did anyone notice that the article links to DeCSS? I think that's a violation of the DMCA. Damn. :(TM
But your thermostat doesn't reproduce. Also it isn't made of cells.
They didn't even mention the game Gnop! It was a Mac clone of Pong made by Bungie!

What next? Is Microsoft going to open source Windows?
