I call bullshit. Mozilla and other alternative browsers makes all the difference, since they don't contain the pool of bile that is ActiveX. That some spyware authors try to exploit holes doesn't mean anything, since the Mozilla developers are actively fighting and closing these holes, in contrast to Microsofts IE team that still hasn't closed even the most obvious holes.
And I really find your java trojan story quite unlikely. Sure you didn't get it from somewhere else? Got any documentation that java trojans that install FTP servers even exist?
The problem with linking feedback to item cost is that it will be very easy to 'buy' feedback. Just team up with a friend, make a fake auction for maybe $1000, and you suddenly get quite a good feedback. Sure, it costs you whatever percentage ebay takes, but that's negligable if the resulting feedback ratio enables you to commit large-scale fraud.
Maybe you didn't read the reviews well enough? Every review of UT2004 I've read have said that the game is exactly like the previous ones, only with more stuff added. The reason it got rave reviews was because people liked the previous games too.
It's a bit hard to claim innocence when you're caught with a running camcorder pointed directly at the screen.
Really, I don't see a problem with getting a fine or other minor punishments for being caught red-handed. The problem is that the current law makes it a jailable offense just to have a recording device, any recording device with you, no matter if it's used or not.
There is a big difference between someone making a copy for their own use and someone making a copy so they can then make 10,000 copies to sell on the street, so let's have the penalties be different.
Not that I think the penalties for bringing a camcorder into a cinema are just, but exactly how many people do you know that record movies in a theatre just for their personal use? I think it's quite obvious that if you bring a camcorder with you, you plan to do a bit more than just watch the movie back home.
Not being able to hotswap the memory card was extremely lazy by Nokia. The Siemens SX1, which uses the exact same OS, has support for hotswapping MMC memory cards.
If some of these exploits were the ones listed on eEye's page (Google cache with the old info), and they seem to be since they're removed now, they got discovered long before the source code got leaked.
It's not a lie. Programs like Power Ripper and DVDRip could copy DVDs before CSS was cracked, by hooking directly into the DirectShow filters of a software DVD player. Stop your FUD.
Games need Administrator privileges because the copy protection systems use driver tricks that are only available to administrators. Yet another reason why copy protection should be abolished.
Slashdot Mirror
A good blue example is the opening logo of Touchstone Pictures. Often you can see clear pixelation around the edges of the circle part of their logo.
Xvid needs to be able to produce streams that a p133 can decode using only >50% system resources.
Why should Xvid need to do this when no other MPEG4 codecs are able to do it? MPEG4 is CPU-intensive. It will aiways be.
Too much code.

Not only that - Internet Explorer itself deletes stuff from the cache when it's filled up. I wonder whose side these 'experts' were really on.
Indrema died. This is another company with another console.

Actually, Sands of Time was POP4. But almost nobody seems to remember the cookie-cutter game that was POP3D..
Care to explain how a dumb, bug-like, six-wheeled rover has any resemblence to something that appears to be, but is not quite, human-like?
As long as I can pirate your closed-source application afterwards, I'm all for it.

It's not free anymore. You are asked for a CD-key after the preliminary install, and if you don't have one, no game for you.
How long does its batteries last?
What use is encrypted protocols when it's the guy on the other end of your connection that's the rat/cop and not anybody inbetween?
Do you really believe the artists get to see as much as one cent of those $10 dollars?

By the same guys that made this game.

Then again, in Final Fantasy, the men seem to be more stereotypical female than the women themselves.

The Windows Rip & Pirate community was up and running long before DeCSS came along too. So what's your point?

There has been worms out on IRC that exploit this hole for WEEKS. The bad has already happened.
