Since you're not a total moron, presumably you can tell me whether Google has just accept that they can - and therefore should - remove links to anything libellous, regardless of whether the subject has complained to them or not?
Hang on a second... there'll be a court case along in a moment to find out.
Sure. I did a bona fide computer science degree though, designed to become more valuable throughout my career, not a code monkey training course to help fake my way into a first job. There's not many of these course left now, unfortunately.
You make a compelling argument. In fact, I won't even bother asking for citations, I'll just ask how I can send money to this scientific demigod. Is cash OK?

Mmm. Bear in mind we're talking about a regular Slashdot article contributor who can't even score a job as an editor, and that's on a site where the criteria for employment appears to be "Must not be beyond all reasonable doubt a small shell script".
I'm amazed that anybody who has the remotest interest in the subject (i.e. in eating it) is still using sushi to refer to the fish. That'd be like going into McDonalds and trying to order a Filet-O-Fish(tm) by yelling "Fries! You give me fries, dumb round eye!"
It seems to me that it boils down to building the most powerful units in the largest quantity.
That's a bit trite. Given the vast tech tree and weapon-vs-target modifiers in Warzone 2100, "most powerful" is largely subjective. What's more "powerful", super-heavy tracked bodies with heavy cannons, packs of light-bodied VTOLS with tank-killer missiles, or swarms of cyborgs with lasers? And how about the decision whether to build mobile units, or to go hog wild on building long ranged fixed artillery and then creep spotters forward?
It might be possible to win the campaign using nothing but heaviest-tanks-with-heaviest-guns, but you'll lose a lot of them to defences and tank-killer units. Warzone 2100 rewards you for using mixed forces of tanks, VTOLs, AA, artillery, repair units, spotters and cyborgs and deploying them intelligently against appropriate targets.
The huge maps also provide multiple choke points and opportunities to build forward repair/fire support outposts, rather than the C&C variants where you generally turtle up just your main base and then break one or two decisive choke points.
If you've just dipped into Warzone 2100, I'd recommend giving it a second look. There's a lot of depth in there.
Try Warzone 2100, free as in beer and speech. Massively configurable units, a tech tree that's bigger than the NSA's, artillery based combat, and if you don't like it, you've got the source and can pimp it up.
Straw and Blunkett were amateur blunderers. They made the mistake of going through the motions of doing consultations and producing detailed legislative plans, which really hampered them.
Mandelson has spotted that instead of bothering with this tiresome "laws" nonsense, he can just churn out two or three absolutely bonkers dictats per week. The sheer volume of administrative evil makes it hard to oppose him; by the time you've mounted a defence to any of his plots, he's busy announcing the next one.
But this is exactly up Darth Mandelson's alley. He truly and passionately believes in the utter dominance of the State over the individual. Of course, he plans to be a most benign dictator.
For those not in the know, Lord Mandelson is the de facto ruler of the United Kingdom, and one of the chief architects of the European super state under the (also "benign") dictatorship of the unelected, unaccountable European Council of Ministers.
He is the #1 threat to individual rights and freedoms in the UK and possibly in the whole of Europe. Think Palpatine, only with fruitier ties.

All you're doing is confirming my point. You're making this far too easy.
Since you're not a total moron, presumably you can tell me whether Google has just accept that they can - and therefore should - remove links to anything libellous, regardless of whether the subject has complained to them or not?

If I have to read the article to figure out what they're selling, then their marketing has demonstrably failed.
Mmm, if you like. I guess every ass on the totem pole needs to sit on someone's head.
And it's even easier to just say it's higher without providing a link to your alleged research.
Your assertion, your burden of proof.

Counterpoint: you can make better money in insurance software than in games, and yes, I've done both professionally.
I do agree with your (implicit) point that whether you value $$$ over time is largely dependent on how hot and horny your wife is.
Asking that question is worse than anything that Hitler ever did. That's why.
Dude, you are either with us, or with the terrorists. Didn't you get the memo?
Information is signal, not noise.
You make a compelling argument. In fact, I won't even bother asking for citations, I'll just ask how I can send money to this scientific demigod. Is cash OK?
It should go without saying - but apparently doesn't - that I wouldn't troll him unless I loved him.
Don't ask how many lawyers are in Congress. You won't like the answer.
Mmm. What I'm hearing from President Political "Science" / International Relations / Lawyer is "do as I say, not as I did".
But when they come to apply to colleges, which professions look like they'll pay off their student debt?
Say, Obama was a physicist, right? Right?

Mmm. I think if you check the New Orleans flood map, you'll find that the hardest hit districts were the ones with the lowest social mobility. If you're born there, and can't afford to move anywhere else, then should you be damned for your "decision" to be poor?
Perhaps the State has no responsibility to act for the benefit of its citizens, but if not, then what is its purpose?

You could tell it was bullshit when it didn't feature Jack Thompson challenging Vladimir Putin to a judo match.
The NSA can just try it and see. Although they won't know about the Chinese back door to their back door...
Only for Android though.
