Unfortunately, no one wants to play it. If they did, then these cretins wouldn't need to pollute the internet to get people to play it. The same with herbal viagra, or any of the rest of the crud they are peddling.
I wouldn't be upset, if google just made those few terms unsearchable.
Please don't try to take a cheap jab at a company just for the sake of it being a company.
Why not? It's a pretty good metric of how sleazy an entity is (is it a corporation? check). Is there something special about a company? Even priests bugger little boys, and they're holy men no less. I don't see why an inc. gets the automatic benefit of the doubt. And there certainly are countless examples of of why corporations should get the reverse.
you've probably been leeching off AOL's servers for years without a second thought (you don't use the official AIM client with the revenue generating ads, do you?)
I certainly wouldn't have bought anything. I might even have taken note, and went out of my way to *not* buy anything featured in such an ad. Marketing is evil, it's no longer about informing me that a product I might already have wanted actually exists, it's about trying to manipulate me at some fundamental psychological level. I'm not allowed to use a service they provide for free, unless I submit to brainwashing? No thank you, Mr. Troll.
This is compounded by the fact that if you're forced to defend yourself in another country, you're under even more of a financial burden. I have no doubt that this tactic will be used even in places where copyright infringement is a crime, just to further demoralize those they're trying to destroy.
Um, do you fools even know what flamebait is? It's not a fashion color option for something you otherwise would have modded "troll". I'd think that for this to be flamebait, at the very least, I'd have to say something controversial. Moreso, it should almost always be reserved for those statements that are intentionally inflammatory. Examples:
Flamebait = "Jesus Christ was a sissy."
Non-flamebait = "Wikipedia articles deserve their own icon/category."
Stay tuned for Moderation Lesson #2, where I explain why a first post cannot be "redundant". Oh, and go to hell.
I won't even start with the "dupe" stuff... can hardly blame you guys if wired.com is doing the same themselves. However, if you're going to have so many damn wikipedia articles, can't we at least get a wikipedia icon and category? You've done so for lamer subjects.
There are more than a few scenarios when a small agile company tries to think long term still loses, because big giant short term T-rexes eat them whenever they poke their head out. The T-rex is still doomed mind you, but it will destroy everything in its path meanwhile.
Freenet and its copycats all developed from a single interesting crypto concept. And since then, there are countless people that won't accept anonymity is possible unless there is some weird math concept behind it. Even if freenet does better than anyone can possibly believe, files will only be available on it if they are popular. In other words, that weird little thing that people love on the internet, but just a few? It won't survive on freenet. Better hope it doesn't have to be anonymous.
Second, it only allows for basic file-trading at its core. In this way, it's akin to the 80s BBSs that some of us are familiar with. We've moved past that. It was a year ago that some dufus suggested my own ideas were dumb, and that you only really need iip and freenet... but c'mon. You couldn't develop a software project on freenet, there is no decent way to do CVS. There are no nice human readable names. There is no DNS. Could workalike services be possible? I suppose. I've even tinkered with a chess-over-freenet game that I never quite completed. But why should we spend 20 years rewriting the same applications?
In any event, I only check out freenet once every 3 or 4 months. So take anything I say with a grain of salt.
Tor seems closer to what we should all want, in that it's *almost* IPv4. But it's kludged together. You can host content, and access it both, but it still lacks DNS or a workalike. Again, I've only tried Tor once, so try it yourself. Maybe I'm being too harsh.
If you and I setup an openvpn tunnel, that's sort of at layer 2, right there.
If you then setup a tunnel to someone else, and dont tell me who they are, but route packets back and forth, I can ping a person whose identity is a mystery to me.
If they in turn, connect to a 4th person, and we get the routing right, you can ping that person, who is anonymous to you, also.
If we set up a sane, manageable architecture that minimizes the number of direct connections you need, we can build a large network, perhaps an entire/8, with only the tiniest fraction of them known to you. More so, some people would be 10, 15 hops away... very anonymous. You might make it a policy to only deal with those people, so that they can't have any good way of knowing who you are.
We could have dns, websites, email, irc, and lord knows what else. We could make it a policy to choose only international partners... if you geoip them, and they're in the same country as you, don't let them in. That doesn't keep the FBI out (if you're in the US) but it makes them work harder. They'd have to rent a shell, and wait in the hopes that an american invites them, after all. If they do get lucky, well, they can arrest you, and cut off their only access to the network.
Yeh, and when you decide that the network is so big, it would be nice to have email, or chat, or lord knows what else, you're in the position of having to graft emulation layers on top of it. No thank you.
Do it at layer 2, and slap IPv4 on it, or IPv6, or even IPX for crying out loud.

Unless it is copyright infringement, where they can turn back the clock and re-protect those works for which it already expired.
If there is one constant in technology, it's that every year miniaturization progresses.
Some backscatter xray and realtime image processing (to normalize skintone color), and you could probably get what you want.

Not knocking PCI-Express... wish I had some of it. Just saying.
AGP wasn't designed to support multiple slots per cpu.
Having more cpus potentially changes that.
Yeh, I'm hot for all 9 dozen PCI-Express cards already on the market that have DVI dual monitor support for the Cinema display.
Quad dualcores maybe? With 4 AGP slots, maybe... and hell, 16 DIMMs.
Obviously, somewhere in the Centris of the curve.
I was thinking he meant more how he's ending this trilogy, and he still hasn't a fucking clue what he is doing.

One thing's for sure, he's right about it being a tragedy.

Darwinism doesn't say that at all.

It's bad enough installing spyware, but now they have to go and install Microsoft software!?!?!?!
You slimy bastards!
Go right ahead, I've got karma to burn, you asshat moderators.
Worse, it was probably sincere. And relevant.
