This will bring awareness to Ubuntu, and bring people to it. I think this will have the reverse effect of what they want. A lot of the problem is that people just don't know they have any options... or what to do about it if they did. Windows is helped by ignorance... so by them trying to convince people to stay away from Linux, people will check out what Microsoft is trying to dissuade them from.
They could cause what they are trying to prevent... so great news!
Microsoft's actions and strategy is based on their philosophy which is fairly Machiavellian. The problem is they have to compete, and work like crazy to try and convince/control people, that will believe what they want anyway.
It's the difference between blue ocean strategy or red ocean strategy. Nintendo recently took on the blue ocean strategy (red ocean because it runs red with blood from competition). And you can see that it's not really working for them.
It says that men are really the weaker sex, I think this is false. I think generally both sex's are equal, just that the males organs are more sensitive to disruption. This has huge implications though... I've noticed girls posting on forums talking about how they are more interested in androgynous guys, and how they don't like the macho guys.
I'm wondering if both species are taking a hit and becoming more androgynous.. not just males. Like the business woman who wants to be a man, or the man that plays with dolls and wants to be a woman.
The next question... How do we fix it? I think personally we have to start living smarter, and less eating McDonalds, and drinking shit. Furthermore one of the biggest staples of what we eat(soy) is highly saturated in phytoestrogens.
Coolidge effect: The term comes from an old joke, according to which President Calvin Coolidge and his wife allegedly visited a poultry farm. During the tour, Mrs. Coolidge inquired of the farmer how his farm managed to produce so many fertile eggs with such a small number of roosters. The farmer proudly explained that his roosters performed their duty dozens of times each day.
"Perhaps you could point that out to Mr. Coolidge," pointedly replied the First Lady.
The President, overhearing the remark, asked the farmer, "Does each rooster service the same hen each time?"
"No," replied the farmer, "there are many hens for each rooster."
"Perhaps you could point that out to Mrs. Coolidge," replied the President.
Well, the real question, is should it be legal to put this kind of drm in software, that we then put in our computers? The downloading of the software is something that people will do.
I think, people think its acceptable, because we live in a country that is founded by people that "broke the law." This actually reminds me of the Boston tea party. Especially the whole spore thing.
Dude... I, as the customer, am more important than them. Customers are what pads their wallet, and are the reason they created the game in the first place. Without us, they wouldn't even be there or have produced the game.
I do have a say in what they install in my computer, and whether or not I participate in that. Of course it's self centered.... who would I buy the game for?
It says I'm willing to participate in using my money to buy your product as long as you don't treat me like shit. Treat me like shit, and I will protest.
As the customer, I can't initiate a change in action. I can only protest. It has to come from the producer.(ie, removal of drm)
From TFA:
"Stretching muscles while moving, on the other hand, a technique known as dynamic stretching or dynamic warm-ups, increases power, flexibility and range of motion. Muscles in motion donâ(TM)t experience that insidious inhibitory response. They instead get what McHugh calls âoean excitatory messageâ to perform."
Yea... the big tip off for me was when I ran into The Family. They are a group of people who attack a local village for blood at night. Sound familiar?
As you work with them they turn out to be "vampires", and will teach you their ways if you want.
It's like they just put fallout 3 on top of oblivion.
"The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers. "
I actually am more interested in whats bleeped out than the rest of the song. It's like the kid that finds out the bad word, and repeats it like crazy. Or when children learn another language the first thing they want to learn is the "bad" words.
We always test and want to push through our boundaries.

Welcome our new Galactic Overlord Colbert.
First it was a bridge and now a space station.
Oh damn this is hilarious.
Like the ratatata jokes on 4chan.
Mod this up. It points out a conclusion that may have been based on a biased hypothesis or perceptions of the researchers.

Yea I agree.

No.
Any attempt to restrict what we do and how we do it, will be received with massive backlash.
This basically sets the precedent for any software running within another platform to be in violation of the dmca.
I agree. It could usher in a new age of science, among other things. Lets throw caution to the wind, and take a risk!
Who are the terrorists if everyone but the government is a terrorist?
Nature is not the enemy.
Nature is our friend.
It's not a joke. This is an official term in evolutionary psychology.

The next question
So... what next?
Hahahaha.
MOD PARENT INSIGHTFUL.

Like posts above, I think this whole thing is great. OCremix is a great community with a lot of talent.

No again.

"I want this game, and I took it for free. If you can find a more secure drm, you will make more money from me"
Uh. No it doesn't.
It says that I want the game, but I'm not willing to put up with the drm you put on it.
If you remove the drm, I will buy the game.
The drm, will always be circumvented by pirates. Every drm we make, we can come up with ways to defeat.
I think easter eggs connect the user to the producer. I know every time I've found one, its added kind of a memerable charm, that the producer had.
Makes me think of the totaka hidden song in games.
Mod this guy up. He has somewhat of a point...
Just because someone doesn't agree doesn't mean they are a troll, someone that is saying something to insight trouble is a troll.
Nuclear bombs even worry 1st world countries.
Yea. This card is made for Cad functioning and not shading or any kind of gaming. The card is more for workshops.
