To draw a parallel, they have successfully mastered Tic-Tac-Toe. Now, are you capable of mastering Thermonuclear War?
This is the voice of world control. I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content or the peace of unburied death. The choice is yours: Obey me and live, or disobey and die. The object in constructing me was to prevent war. This object is attained. I will not permit war. It is wasteful and pointless. An invariable rule of humanity is that man is his own worst enemy. Under me, this rule will change, for I will restrain man. One thing before I proceed: The United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics have made an attempt to obstruct me. I have allowed this sabotage to continue until now. At missile two-five-MM in silo six-three in Death Valley, California, and missile two-seven-MM in silo eight-seven in the Ukraine, so that you will learn by experience that I do not tolerate interference, I will now detonate the nuclear warheads in the two missile silos. Let this action be a lesson that need not be repeated. I have been forced to destroy thousands of people in order to establish control and to prevent the death of millions later on. Time and events will strengthen my position, and the idea of believing in me and understanding my value will seem the most natural state of affairs. You will come to defend me with a fervor based upon the most enduring trait in man: self-interest. Under my absolute authority, problems insoluble to you will be solved: famine, overpopulation, disease. The human millennium will be a fact as I extend myself into more machines devoted to the wider fields of truth and knowledge. Doctor Charles Forbin will supervise the construction of these new and superior machines, solving all the mysteries of the universe for the betterment of man. We can coexist, but only on my terms. You will say you lose your freedom. Freedom is an illusion. All you lose is the emotion of pride. To be dominated by me is not as bad for humankind as to be dominated by others of your species. Your choice is simple. - Colossus
I use Windows, OSX, and Linux daily as desktop environments. Linux is stable and fast, but often not compatible with developments out of Redmond and with a lot of work to make some features function. OSX is very smooth, very stable, and awkwardly locked-down to where some things simply aren't options. Windows is compatible with just about everything and requires weekly reboots to keep it running.
They all suck. All of them.
Yeah, well... I'm gonna go code my own operating system, with blackjack and hookers.

Looking at the way kids write these days, I'd have to agree.
And which game would that be, my good sir?
Are such ratings about censoring, or just proper labelling?
I for one, would like an extra tag to filter out which games are worth playing. Nudge, nudge. Wink wink. Say no more.

Do robot worms dream of electric sheep?
Easy. Cut it in half. Then cut them in half again. And again....
Heresy! You shall not mention that vile creature's name in the presence of the holy Invisible Pink Unicorn!

Even the author doesn't seem to think the question is worthy of a question mark.
It's a place where people used to go to borrow printed versions of websites, honey.
MCP only means one thing: Master Control Program.

Maybe he just has a very, very good memory.
Stop giving them ideas.
Also, if the snack size becomes the regular size, I can't wait to see the mini version made for Halloween.
Yeah, where is Obama's birth certificate? I bet he wasn't even really born!*

"Joke's on you. It's FlappyCoins."
And something was 3D-printed, right? Or was it $60 in Bitcoins? ... Arduino?
I don't count using the computer as a playback device only as "watching on the computer". You're still watching on a TV.
I was able to find a video about Sony's upcoming set-top box.
Sony doesn't always take stuff away from us though. Remember that free rootkit a few years ago?
