Just stop. You can't be serious. Memory allocators? Memory interrupts? Memory pages? Seg faults?
The C64 had a flat 64KB RAM directly accessible by the CPU. Really simple, none of the things you're talking about. Also, what you're talking about is for ADVANCED USERS and some of those things for x86 processors only. We're talking about people who are just learning how to program, basic concepts like variables, arrays, that kind of stuff. You can't go from zero to 100% instantly. The basics - stuff you now take for granted - have to be learned.
We're talking about kids learning to ride a bike and you're talking about the complexities of a formula 1 engine. Just stop.
There's also the period of time before a crack is discovered. Between the game launch and that time, a lot of people will have no choice but to pay for the game they want to play.
So what? Regular users who use this function aren't after copyrighted images from Getty Images.
They're after the original versions of funny images without the watermarks automatically added by the dozens of websites hosting them. Those websites are not the owners of those images and yet they put those freakin' watermarks on them anyway. Fuck those websites.
The function is also useful when you're trying to find the original version of an image: a high-resolution PNG, instead of a low-resolution JPEG compressed to shit.
Some games is not enough. It should be most games. I can understand 2D platform games not supporting the mouse, but otherwise it should be a requirement.
We're talking about ads here. There's nothing wrong with limiting them to static images. In fact they should be grateful that they're using up our ressources such as bandwidth, memory and display for their own benefit.
What if approved ads cannot contain any scripts whatsoever? In an ideal world, Google would only approve static images (JPEG and PNG only, no GIF) and text-only ads.

I was about to post this exact same link. For me it's the main reason I can't take the name "Bing" seriously.

Before you can program anything useful, you need to learn to program. The C64 still has the advantage.
Step one, see title.

Joke's on him, you can't pirate Linux.
Also, Ballmer is long gone from Microsoft, try to keep up.
Seeing how even hackintosh systems running proper macOS are prone to potential problems, I think software emulation would be even less reliable.
Man, this took much longer than it used to...
Anyway, Obligatory Nelson Muntz.
But the only way to have usable glass walls is to use overlays on them.
I'd link to examples, but Google removed the "view image" buttons and I don't want to force anyone to view pinterest pages.
It is obvious, isn't it?
Hentai artwork, of course!
That's a death threat right there. The assistant U.S. attorney should be sent to prison.
If you need an add-on to disable Javascript, I pity you.
What about “Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!”
What do you mean, "another search engine"? There's YouPorn and... that's it.

It didn't look that way nearly two decades ago, almost right after the dot com bubble.

It's almost like a magical gathering of users?
That's probably my fault, I bought 0.3 Litecoin yesterday morning.
What alternative is there for games? Consoles suck because of their lamepads.
That's what she said.
Windows users can still get Chrome, Firefox or Opera. Pick your poison.

No scripts, no CSS. The ads could only be static images.
