It's unbearably painful, if not impossible, to install Flash on a pure AMD64 Linux system (that is, exclusively 64-bit apps and libraries.) One may be able to do it with a 32-bit chroot, but I gave up. Even if I managed to get it working, I'd have to switch to the 32-bit Firefox when I wanted Flash content.
There's no legitimate reason to pull this guy's ads. I enjoyed the article. Links would have been informative, but I appreciate being denied the temptation to buy any of the items featured. Congratulations to the publisher -- I hope he rakes in a lot of cash for the feature.
Have you ever heard of journalism? I haven't, except for high school classes which mentioned something about Who, What, When, Where and Why. You shouldn't have to fucking search for what the hell an article is about. The links don't lead to anything informative -- even the link to Gizmos fnord Geeks is to its homepage, which now features a GPS for golfers.
It's a bullshit excuse for a story, and it makes people angry because of the ineptitude of the editor who fnord posted it.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
I'm secure in my house. Nobody has seized my private files, on my computer or otherwise. If they were to do so, it would be unconstitutional as well as criminal.
If I broadcast a message, with or without knowing full well that someone besides the intended is going to hear me (eg. a passers-by, the operator, my neighbour), I cannot expect my communications to be de facto secure.
The Constitution gives me free speech and guns, but not privacy. Scrape my DNA, fingerprint my dog, tap my bloody wires -- I do not care. Information wants to be free, right? Aren't people always complaining that the government never listens to them? Now they are, and you're still upset? Afraid Bush will snicker at your expressing your hatred of Walmart while you're lounging on your Ikea bench in your Aberzombie and Flinch underoos?
If you don't want someone to hear you, then whisper.
Yet another example of the coming global SUPERSTORM! How much longer can we rape the planet with impugnity and expect no wrath from Mother Gaea? Our dependance on foreign oil, the use of disposable diapers, the gas-guzzling SUV culture of Daemon America, and the dreaded Emperor Bush eroding our privacy and stroking the wank of big business -- what do you expect, you silly stupid people? Why are you even here? Go home. Leave the Earth in peace as it was intended, fecund and glorious in its barren isolation.
Google is competing with everyone now: shopping, news, maps, entertainment, and (obviously) search. As the Google tentacles creep into more markets, current and potential partners will flee. Most of Google's revenue is from sponsored links; if partners drop, so does revenue. Their growth is self-limiting.
Neverwinter Nights? That alone is a great representation of the RPG genre, and some of the MMORPG market with its available persistent worlds.
Companies can't justify a release for every platform, and many games are already segmented heavily along the various consoles and their iterations.
If you want to play the most popular games, you either (a) have the most popular platform (for the latest games) or (b) have an emulator -- and Linux has working emulators for many (if not most) popular platforms.
Crap is stinky and hard to mold into a usable form. So is RealPlayer. It's unintuitive and obtuse. We have a superpowered dual Xeon in the girl's room. We use it nigh exlusively to play lullaby music at bedtime. I cringe when the girl asks for "the Sheep music," because that freaking visualisation is the only time I have to run their PoS software.
I'm against any and all censorship. However, I must interject a possible non-sequitur: Falun Gong is a rung away from Scientology on the crazy ladder to spiritual enlightenment.
What printers are you using? CUPS has porked my hinder with almost every upgrade (*) I've done, and sometimes mysteriously stops working and won't work again until I purge the configuration and reconfigure it.

No mention of email or telephones there, so they're all fair game.
Or we could be flexible and say the "spirit" implies the inclusion of an all-encompassing right to privacy, but if you do that, then you'd better also agree that I have the right to bear arms, you unbearably incongruous whining fools.
"Easier" in the same sense that defining pornography is "easy" for some people. Sites detailing Nazi interest in the paranormal, or any idea involving the disputed concept of "race" itself, or anything mentioning Hitler, or a site with a Prussian Blue download, or someone suggesting lizards run the world (and lizards is just a codeword for Jews, of course) -- all those are NAZI NAZI NAZI.
Zod is great, and I can't shake childhood memories of how awesome the second one was, but I actually watched it recently and was surprised how bad it was. Technically, the first is far superior.

Thanks. I was just going to scan for Troika, anyway.
Bravo.
Because they don't know how to swim?
They ate less than twenty minutes before entering the water?
Just too damned fat?
They're drunk?
Suicide pacts?
Forgot their water wings?
Their star is falling while their pollyanish wives are reaching the big time?
They were all carrying Hamlet's child?
How many of those thirty million lines were written as a concerted effort of Redhat?

In ye olde warez days (ie. the 80's), his zero-day definition is correct. The Wikipedia entry and the usage in the summary is relatively new.

Foff, Real. We don't need no stinking sheep.
Can I get a refund if I buy a Macbook and decide not to run OSX on it?

I would like to know if you're white or black, since I suspect that would have an influence on your opinion when posting a reply such as yours.

A half-moon gauge, a copperplate (in keeping with the rusty Fallout theme) beneath with the title and version, replace "gimp years" with Wilbur.
The closest I can find to a right to "privacy:"
Amendment 4 - Search and seizure
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Pine/MUTT is like a vi/EMACS thing, except both of them are vi. Except Pine, which is Pico, and that's why it loses.
