Heck, Might and Magic VI even had a map of the New World Computing offices hidden inside of it. The place was empty except for one low level goblin standing around in the project manager's office.
I don't think that any of the developers of that game were ever arrested for that.
Reading the article is a wonderful thing. Since that's too hard for some people, let me do it for you.
He didn't get raided because he had an open access point and that's certainly not why he was convicted. A search warrant was issued because _someone_ sent an instant message containing a "sexually explicit picture of a minor" from his IP address. After tracing that back to his home a search warrant was issued, and a stack of CDs full of similar images was found in his room.
He tried to use his poorly configured wireless network as a defense, asking the judge to please ignore the several gigabytes of child porn that he had stashed in his room because he didn't think it was fair that the FBI found it so easily.
The probable cause here was not that he had an open access point, it was that he used his own computer in his own home to break the law and he got caught doing it.
That's a design feature. After you have reproduced and supported the herd evolution no longer needs you. In fact, the longer you insist on living the more you get in the way of next year's model, so your body includes a self-destruct switch. It doesn't flash red and urge you to report to Carousel, it just starts shutting down parts of you until you are finally eaten by wolves.
Don't go calling it a flawed design just because you think that the business requirements have changed.
And that's why you are denying the possibility that there might exist some cultural equivalent of the tie in another culture. Why annoy the viewers and waste valuable screen time explaining that wrapping a giant pink flamingo around your left arm indicates that you are a civilian in formal dress? All you need to do is show a simple strip of cloth on screen for a few seconds and it instantly conveys everything that it needs to to the audience. Creating something different for no reason other than just to be different is pointless.
Wearing a tie is like speaking English. It's a convention that makes the story accessible to the audience.
If you wanted everything to be completely "authentic" then you would be left watching fourty minutes of completely alien people wearing completely alien clothing speaking in a completely alien language about things which are completely and totally alien to you.
And really, I didn't like Eastenders that much the first time around. I don't want to watch it all over again.
"Do you think it is 'cool' when you have a problem and your doctor is notified via SMS while they're watching a movie in a cinema or having dinner in a restaurant that uses this uber-paint?"
Yes, as a matter of fact I would. Hopefully the Doctor is not a complete and total moron and left his phone with the Maître d' so that he could be notified discreetly when a message came in.
If he can't even remember to do something as simple as that then maybe he should find a less demanding line of work.

It would be getting Joegled.
Unless of course it is really Red Kryptonite or Blue Kryptonite or even the Pink Kryptonite that has the power to turn Superman gay.
Then it wouldn't have to glow green.
Why waste them in coal mines when they could be working as programmers for EA?
Of course Intel claims that they are 1.499999999326112 and 0.999999994351582.
That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage.

I think it's a perfectly cromulent word.
That wouldn't be a problem if you were using a drive manufactured in the southern hemisphere. The discs spin the other way there.
And yet it still causes less damage to your system than Automatix.
Well, there goes the basic premise of the "Caffeine Warrior" program too.
You know how it goes. If you want something done right, some times you just have to do it yourself.

"This ought to be a sweeps week television spectacular."
I think that it already is, but it's only on in Japan and uses real SPAM.
That's good. You just lie there and be ironical.
That's no surprise. We have known for some time that Intel is planning to release a few new processors and slash CPU prices dramatically in about two weeks. AMD won't have anything new to show off until later this summer so all they can do is cut their own prices farther and sooner just to keep up.
Running hdparm isn't the problem. It's setting the drive to use DMA that will solve most of your choppy video problems.
There are a number of gotchas that can cause problems such as buggy motherboard support or using the wrong cables. R'ing t FM can help out a lot.
So, basicly, you don't like ties.

Absolutely. If they were looking for real world applications, they should have started with porn.
They would also need their own supply of Columbian Coffee, or there would be a lot of flights getting turned back.
You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought.
What a really wonderful idea. What an incredible new smell you've discovered.
My parts are showing? Oh, my goodness, oh!
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.
Curse my metal body. I wasn't fast enough. It's all my fault.
Get in there, you big furry oaf! I don't care what you smell!
Your powers are weak, old man.
I think that George is hanging onto that one for his own personal use.
This is Slashdot. I think you're looking for 'Normal'.
