But seriously though, I think it's good that you brough that up, because it's precisely the point that needs to be made and clarified: what they're doing can easily be done in Europe or America with engineering rigor and time, but, ask yourself, why? Are we at a point in history where we could forego the proletariat and replace him with a robot? In an era such as this with population ever increasing and medical science lenthening the avg lifespan as never before in history.
Suffice to say this is a classic and stereotypical example of the Japanese interpritation of ingenuity.
He'd have (by the likes of you and your kind) been branded a typical Republican had his cabinet not granted this, and now that they have, he's being (by the likes of you and your kind) scolded for irresponsible spending - as if you and your kind have any laurels on wich you could rest in this department. Sigh. Liberals.
Won't take for the word to get out that they've been eaten by a Chinese megacorp. And if they focus more on 'name recognition' than the quality of their computers, it will take even less time to turn this effort of theirs to prove useless.
Find a quote where they claimed they would stop spam all togeter. While you're doing that, try to rationalize the notion you've proposed - that it's wrong to steal your car back from a theif.
Spammers cost hundreds of thousands to control in office environments, and waste your personal time and bandwith. There's nothing more warrented, more rational and more justifiable than volunteering your small part in retributing this injustice yourself, when the CURRENT law lacks the haste and adequacy to do it itself.
This isn't all to complicated to concoct, I wonder if anyone will take it upon themselves to create a screensaver that does the exact same thing.
When I say anyone, I mean anyone with the basic programming capability to do such a thing. Without huge corporate liability behind his back, one anonymous vigilante could easily pull this off; and I and many others would quickly flock to his cause, this can be taken for granted.
Why the fuck do you think it is that so many people, geek or otherwise, give a flying, flamying, flailing fuck about you, a normal guy with a family and a smidge of sci-fi acting in his past, at all? I mean, AT ALL? WHY?
Reminds me of my friends dreams of sending a bios-editing worm to his gravest of enemies, with intention of turning off the CPU fan, causing the CPU to overheat to the point at which it, at minimum, destroyes a considerable portion of their system, and at maximum (and according to him was the main goal) would spark a fire and burn down their houses - while they were spleeping in it. Preferably with children present.
Shouldn't cellphone companies be making people aware of the hazards of usage?
Of course not. How do you expect the Corporations and their henchmen (collectivley known as The Man(TM)) to turn a significant profit in The Free Market(TM) by scaring away customers in such a manner? What a horrible capitolist you must be, you anti-American pinko ingrate.
The musical moments in the game are few and far between

With all these shortcomings, he still manages to bumble through each paragraph painstakingly, sentence by sentence, without any flow or transition between them, as though he were a 6th grader writing a book report the night before it's due after having watched the movie adaptation. Stick to posting user-written submissions from now on.
I've too noticed more crashes - only one of which (out of maybe 9, 10 since release) was related to the auto update; don't rule that out as a primary factor just yet.
For the enthusiast, and there are a great many of them out there, the nVidia 6800 is in fact not enough. Even that, one of the most state of the art gfx cards available, cannot run full performance (e.g. 100fps constant) at full graphical (e.g. FSAA etc.) settings without significant performance drops.
the result of some unresponsable assistant manager, nothing more. Like the rest have stated, he's going to have to wait until the 16th to create a hl2-accessable steam id, simple as that.
You've got to be one of the biggest morons on the internet. Those are all stories that were covered by big media ad nauseam, and criticized on blogs for having been given so much time.
You fucking uppity America hating bandwaggon dittoheads, you wonder why America doesn't care about/hates you shitheads? Look how you fucking act.
If we DID give ANY time of day to focus on how insignificants like you thought about us, we'd be a depressed sack of self loathing losers. Disagree with him as I may, I kind of hope Bush wins just to see how you annoying whiney moaning nothings cry and moan and whine, so that I can laugh at you, and take solice in your anger.
Sure, unless you have Firefox. Gets rid of the sucky ads, and still generates traffic. It's my contribution to ensuring the eventual downfall of Slashdot.
Oh, OH, how I so utterly agree. See my sig for the adblock plugin about which this man is speaking.
Also, have you not the critical skills to realize that proposition 200 would not exist had illegals not been voting illegally? And are you somehow implying that they would (laughable) be voting Republican?
I've seen some of it personally and heard of poll workers who, when trying to push away illegals who didn't even speak english, were shown the pamphlets and laughed at them while they went in to vote. Also, www.google.com
I'm just sure as hell glad the Republicans are doing what they are, and even more glad, almost giddy, that they get away with it. Fire with fire is the only way to play this game, and if you bother to trouble yourself and get together a list of "shenanigans" going on, It'll only bolster my confidence.

If any other single entity was capable of making a robot as polished as ASIMO we'd be seeing it. And we're not.
Japanese fanboy much? I wonder if the same could be said for lap pillows, or a boyfriend's arm pillow?

It's Japanese. And you are foolish enough to bother asking if it merely "just builds on those of others" ...
that is the internet will not last forever. cherish it.

What would have been next; MPAA sponsored screen savers that attacked BitTorrant link sites?
I can see it coming; Earn credit towards BlockBuster video rentals, every 5,000,000 packets earns you $0.50 towards your next rental.

All jokes aside, and I know this is going to induce some serious flaming, but it must be said:
"If you are a reasonably risk-aware teenager today in an affluent, non-violent neighbourhood.."
I think it's quite clear who he expects to benefit from this.
One word: NEWSWORTHY!
Why the fuck do you think it is that so many people, geek or otherwise, give a flying, flamying, flailing fuck about you, a normal guy with a family and a smidge of sci-fi acting in his past, at all? I mean, AT ALL? WHY?

With a name like Meenakshi Iyer, does anyone else get the fear that this is some kind of voodoo science from the East?
I care very much about the rest of the world. ESPECIALLY in Austrailia. I have friends there.
I bet you have a lot of black friends too. Fucking self loathing eager-to-please loser.
Well, you know what, Mate? Fuck you.
