I think you're confused about which program this is talking about. There are two programs:
1) Google Adwords: https://adwords.google.com/select/
appear on the search results on google and are only a way to advertise. Google gets all the money, there is no commision for this. While not explicitly stated this is NOT the major area of concern for click fraud (It does exist here, but not as big of a deal because there is less motive and google can weed it out).
2) Google AdSense: https://www.google.com/adsense/default?destination =%2Fadsense%2Fhome
AdSense allows any site operator to put ads served up by Google on their website. Google then pays you a fraction of the money earned per click on the ads on your web page. This is where fraudulent clicking is a problem, becuase now there's good incentive (I get paid for the clicks). This program makes no sense without commision

While it's definitely not the perfect solution, and lacks alot of the features you've cited, iRATE is a nice "distribution hub" that basically gathers links from free music sites, points your client to the site, and then allows you to moderate to your tastes. I've definitely found some music I like that I never would have heard on through normal outlets.
How do they decide who gets this money? I'm sure it's somehow set up so that the big labels are the only ones who ever see a dime, but what's to stop someone from writing a crappy song and then claiming they should get a slice of the pie?

Maybe you were being sarcastic, but to those who don't know you can't brute force a one-time pad. When you look at all possible results for brute forcing a one-time pad; it's all possible plain text combinations for that length of message. So there could be 1000s of message that "make sense" but you'll never be able to tell which is the right one unless you already know a lot about the message being sent.
A Wal-Mart spokesman stated "We're not going to carry any software with any vulgarity or nudity -- we're just not going to do it." I'm pretty sure Wal-Mart sells rated-R movies (including those arguably targeted at the same age group as this game is), so make your own judgement..."
I'm not sure about R-rated movies, but Wal-Mart has a pretty long history of censorship including sanitizing CDs, and refusing to sell magazines with "indecent" covers. So this move doesn't really surprise me, and I wouldn't be surprised to find out that they refused to sell certain R-rated movies for the same reasons (whatever they are).
UC Irvine is definitely not alone in this. A number of schools are simply throttling the speed down on common P2P ports. My brother's school, Denison, does this. The student's solution is usually pretty simple though: Move to a client that uses port 80. Most of the time the speed is restricted only by port and unless they restrict web access this will get one back onto the autobahn.
Unfortunately for us, no FSF lawsuit was filed to force Epson to give away its I.P. as we've been claiming for some time would happen in cases of GPL violations.
I had an interesting idea here that probably wouldn't work but who knows. Could MS have potentially downloaded this program and demanded the source themselves since the GPL grants them the right to the source? In other words could the legally be considered an intersted part and sue for GPL violations?
Isn't this somewhat akin to saying, "I was the MVP center of the All-Midget Basketball Association"?

Awari Solved
·
· Score: 1
While chess and awari share the property that the number of possible game-states is finite. Chess differs from awari in that the number of games (paths to a state) is infinite as it is quite easy to go back to a previous state in chess (which can lead to a stalemate if done repeadetly on successive moves). Awari's rules terminate the game after one position has occurred 3 times, and one could argue that chess has the same type of termination rule but as far as I know this only occurs if the moves go back and forth successively.
Perfect play always results in a draw? In America, we call that game tic-tac-toe, and we didn't need any computers to figure it out, either. Hell, my first day of kindergarten I was told the game was futile by other children.
Although I imagine it's much harder to compute, I'm betting that the same could be said for chess or numerour other games. This actually makes the game more compelling rather than boring as you seem to be implying, since if one side (presumably differing only by who moves first as in this game) always has an advantage the game loses a sense of fairness.
