Even if there is a Twitter "UK", all they have to do is to relocate to Scotland. This is an English law. Scotch media only tend to respect it because most of them are owned by English entities, but there's no legal basis for enforcing it against a Scotch entity, any more than there would be against French or Mongolian publicists.
Hang on, I'm only barely aware of who Ryan Giggs is, and this is the first I've heard of this "super injunction", which I assume covers England (including Wales): I'm a Scotch. Now, how am I supposed to know that this injunction thingy even refers to Giggs - if it does - when it's so super-secret? To whom would I apply for permission to say "Ryan Giggs nobbed that slapper Imogen Whatshername".
I mean, assuming that an English injunction applied to me, which I'm fairly sure it doesn't.
Rule 73. Attorney's oath. Upon being admitted, each applicant shall take and subscribe to the following oath:
I DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR, OR AFFIRM, THAT:
I will support the Constitution and government of the United States and of the State of Nevada;
I will maintain the respect due to courts of justice and judicial officers;
I will support, abide by and follow the Rules of Professional Conduct as are now or may hereafter be adopted by the Supreme Court; and
I will faithfully and honestly discharge the duties of an attorney at law to the best of my knowledge and ability.
Counsel are first and foremost officers of the court, not of their clients. Fighting for their client does not allow them to take actions that they know, or should know, do not comply with the law, or waste the court's time.
...then how many developers can a $60 title support?
One.
Twelve.
A hundred.
For extra credit, how much do you have to charge to cover sales, marketing, legal, management, blow and hookers.
Perhaps the game is just changing, and hojillion yen AAA titles aren't the sure thing they once were, is all. I believe it's still the case that no movie costing over $100,000,000 to make has ever lost money (yes, including Waterworld), but it doesn't follow that the same applies to games.
As an aside, how is it possible for you to take the time to link to an article on seppuku, which says it's also known as "harakiri", and still get the name wrong?
And we wonder why Sony gets away with its shenanigans. "Just how dumb are Sony's customers?" we ask, very, very rhetorically.
Agreed. This isn't accidental, and Google aren't the victims here. If you benefit from shovelling a steaming pile of crap, you get to eat a piece of it from time to time.
The problem here is that Flash is either a "plugin" or it isn't. If they decide that it is a plugin, then it is Chrome, and it's Google's problem. If they decide it's not a plugin, they should stop calling it one and letting it auto-run whatever content Joe Malware is serving up.
But if they don't even acknowledge that there's a problem, then how on earth do they intend to solve it?
It's just some scamming weirdo gabbling nonsense words and peddling invisible snake oil.
If he wants to do that, he should do it the proper way: put on a silly outfit, give himself a self aggrandizing title, and pretend to cast spells to compel a Beardy Invisible Sky Giant to approve of the union. That's the way it's done dammit.
I think that a hack to steal credit card numbers and personal info sounds like a typical move for professional credit card number and personal info thieves. Inciting a horde of witless script kiddies to declare that they are SPARTACUS FOR THE LULZ is just a smart twist.
It sounds like you just don't understand the Null Hypothesis.
And surely anything you can't understand must necessarily have been created by an Intelligent Designer, a Higher Power, a "God" if you will, and must therefore be infallible. Well, if that's what you're saying, if that's your argument, then who am I to disagree?

hat's happened over the last decade or so is that the PR and business types have figured out that it's far cheaper to pretend you're doing something about it than it is to actually do something about it.
Kiddo, greenwashing has been going on since at least the first Earth Day in 1970. The world was plenty cynical enough even before the Intartubes let everyone find out about it.

I agree. Other drivers can't be trusted and should be replaced with computers. Not you and me though, right?
How else would poor people know to keep out of their airspace?

I think I deserve $50 from everyone who reads this post. If you just read it for nothing, you've cost me $50. You thief.

Reading TFA, it sounds like a Chris Morris satirical piece.
What's the executive summary? WoW gold that can be traded for real life hookers and blow?

Wait, I can never remember: is the Democrat candidate the sock puppet on the left hand, or the one on the right hand?

Well, people have a tendency to make bold, sweeping, over simplified statements.
Everybody in the world except you has noticed that.

Wow, who was talking about "killing" until you rolled up? What a curious ejaculation of violent imagery. Come on man, are you NSA or CIA?
We didn't need to go to the moon. If we do meet biological intelligences out there in the vasty deeps, it'll be quixotic ones.

I'd go on, but I've got something in my eye.
Now, we need you to sign this "No rape" pledge. Oh, no particular reason, just... sign it, would you.
If you don't know what those are, or how to use them, or they're just not available on your platform of choice, then you're part of the problem.
Point of Parliamentary Procedure: you're liking thinking of Penny Arcade's take on Kevin Smith's defence of Jersey Girl .
