I hereby assign you the task of posting "This is fear-mongering for POWER-and the power they're going to shoot for is the power to control the Economy (and Private Individuals.)" whenever global warming is mentioned.
Let's try this out. I'll mention global warming, and you'll respond as told.

There has never been a single byte of illegal material on our tracker
Liar! Thief! Filthy Criminal! Of course there were. For example, the byte 0x5A - taken straight from adios-4.15.iso that you help distributing - is clearly stolen from the latest Britney Spears CD, where it appears next to the byes 0xC2 and 0x82, and we both know that those make their appearances in said ISO, too.
When it comes to 'piracy' and 'theft'. Strangely, these two words are immune to this. Their definitions are sacrosanct, never to be redefined. I wonder why this is?

is it possible to make a good movie based on the same video games as the ones Boll used
Making a good movie out of a video game and making a good video game out of a movie is difficult (as has been proven often enough), since the two are so damn different things.
The saddest thing is that this would probably work a lot better with a PHB than any amount of technical reasons about viruses, worms, security, cost of licenses, etc
If you want your PHB to shell out money for a car so your techs can get around quicker, do you explain to him the inner workings of a combustion engine and the anatomical reasons for not being able to walk as fast as you could drive a car, or do you just tell him "we'll get there faster if we have one"?
Much easier to exploit someone else's hard work, and play the victim whenever someone calls your lazy ass on it, I guess.

Obviously they just sit around in the sun all day instead of training highly qualified scientists (a quarter of which would probably die before they even finish their education) and providing them with top-of-the line equipment, purely out of laziness. </sarcasm>
It is absolutely unconscionable that restaurants are enabling young people--or anyone--to dramatize eating as a form of entertainment while poor and innocent people are starving in real-life in african villages every day. We're encouraging parents, caregivers and everyone who is concerned about both the third and first world to ensure this concept of "cuisine" or "tasty food, yum yum" never makes it into the homes, mouths or stomachs of impressionable young people.
It's perfectly valid for the owner of a piece of hardware to use DRM techniques to secure it.
Is that really DRM then? I doubt i've ever heard the term being used for that, but that isn't really the point. Of course, if you want to secure your own hardware, do whatever you like and use whatever techniques you want to use.
On the other hand, if you want to make numbers (probably in base 2) that are readable but not copyable, i have a perpetuum mobile for sale that you might want.

"Global Warming".
Striped or plaid?
So this is a kind of inverse-democratic poll, where the option with the fewest votes wins?
too little, too late.
A technical illustration straight from their patent: this!

If you include the dupes, they do a great job of providing geek fodder over 800 days a year.

From parent's sig: I drive an SUV -- and I'm actually pretty proud of the fact.
Why?
Not trolling, just a honest question.

The USSR doesn't exist anymore. You must have missed this on Slashdot back in '91.

Randomization, when well done, increases replay value. This makes game producers go bankrupt, and game players become desperate.
If the oscar jury can't play (and leak) the movie then there IS NOTHING to download.
