Oh, and, yeah. My e-mail address and everything else go trough that pipe too. Everything's fake. So in case you thought you are a wise crack for pointing out that I did not post anonymously: I simply don't need to.:)
Well, I already run an OpenVPN tunnel to a...ehem... unrelated server of mine, registered in some offshore island, by some company that is... ehem... not mine... Not that expensive, and that server keeps no logs of my activity at all, and runs everything you can imagine. SElinux, IDN, DPI-firewall, honeypot, remote security audits and so on. Of course bribing the government keeps foreign inquirers off my back. They have a vivid business down there, based on being able to trust that they don't give foreign questioners your data. They are not going to fuck that business up anytime soon. ^^
Except that the "orange revolution" was (no conspiracy theory but a fact) set-up by the US government, including many of the protesters that stood there in the cold being payed be the CIA. As soon as the act was over, they kicked their "so-beloved" president again, because nobody liked him, except the US. I think you can read about it on Wikipedia somewhere.
Please stop acting as if the EU were a country, like the US. It is not. And we, the people of the states of Europe, do not want it, and never dit. The politicians of the governments, that rule here, pretty much decided to go that way without asking us and even with completely ignoring us. I live on the territory of the company, that is called "Germany" here (our constitution states, that we are a company, owned by the USA. No shit. Look it up). I do NOT live in the EU. The EU is more like a business alliance. Nothing more.
I know that for people of the USA, it is easy to think of Europe like this. But please ignore the bullshit of the European governments. It is insulting to us, the people. I know you could not know that, so I'm not angry at you. Just giving you some information, that you rarely hear in the news, for obvious reasons.
A tic-tac is made of the very stuff that created your indigestion in the first place, if that is your problem. How about not eating crap? I'm just saying... ^^
If it's not indigestion, it's not processed traumata (my guess), coupled with strong repression. I recommend letting loose, and confront yourself, until you explode. After it, all your gnawing pain will be gone. If not, write me, and I'll pay you $100! (If yes, how about you paying me $100? ^^)
Yeah, because they still ignore that the result (infinity) is i two-component result (much like complex numbers), but with the second component being (i guess) temporal. That way, you do not lose anything, and can still use formulas with infinity inside them, and get useful results too.
In my eyes, zero and infinity (there are two types: the negative and the positive one, just like with zero) are in the same group. You could also see zero as some kind of infinity. Because you can go smaller and smaller, and never end getting smaller. But somehow, you still can end up a zero. (the limit). Same thing with infinity. You can still end up on infinity. It is still a useful result. But same as you write 0.0000001, you should also write numbers with infinity inside them. (maybe (inf).1000000?) dunno how you would write it though.
So stop suggesting things as if they were globally true for everybody. Maybe it's just you. ^^ (And don't come to me with game website ratings. Most of them are bought anyway, and I found that Americans seem to hate more complex movies and games. [I don't want to insult anyone. But on IMDB, I just had it too many times, that I loved a movie for its cleverness, and the average IMDB user from the USA totally hated it. Revolver by Guy Richie being the prime example of a brilliant movie that can only be enjoyed if you get it. Most critics apparently did not.])
But in case one really wishes to die... I think at least in the Netherlands that, which should be the right of everyone to do with his body whatever he wants, is legal. As far as I know, they are barbiturates in pill form. They let you sleep, and then you simply breathe slower and slower, until you stop. But the pill blocks you alarm signals too, so you are (literally) totally relaxed. ^^
The reason most narcosis medicaments must individualized, is because their acceptable dose is very narrow. Not enough, and nothing happens. Too much, and you die.
I saw a documentation, where a cop specifically complained about how wrong movies and games were in that area. He meant, that a guy with many bullets inside him still coming for you, is no rare case. He meant, that once, someone with nine bullets in his chest and his head, survived it. So you better target the stem of the brain and hit the heart several times just right.
I don't think that this would mean anything else than a slow death. So in fact it's a pretty bad method.
Hmm... I may have no idea what I'm talking about, but if this concert had 120 dB, it would have a sound pressure of 20 Pa. And 203 dB would then be ~282507.5 Pa.
I think this would not only make us deaf, but literally rip us apart like a shock wave of an explosion. Poor dolphins.:(
A have to absolutely agree to that. Patrick Steward always was my favorite character for exactly such scenes. This, and the episode where he plays the flute, still give me chills.
As you may know, the four lights thing comes from the book/movie 1984, where they are fingers. So it's a bit of a remake. But more in a honoring than a rip-off kind of way.
Well... Those "pirates" (ARRR) chose to download and use specifically Adobe product for a reason. When everything is free, you take everything, and keep only what you like.
If only others would realize the marketing potential of file-sharing networks.
SIS? I made some veeery bad experiences with them, and avoid them at all cost. Same as ALi, and nVidia (the nForce designers shoud be taken out an shot* ^^).
So you say VIA chipsets are bad too?
Then this only leaves the CPU manufacturers. Mostly intel.
Hmm. Bad.
___ * I'm talking about the debacle with their bus that made the hard disks create crackling it the sound card output, even for highly professional music cards, making it impossible to make any music on such boards. And I'm talking about the thing I have inside this system right now, where the integrated network controller dies after the first packets, and there being no update in the drivers or BIOS, forcing me to buy an additional network card.
But if Taco and friends think raising the barrier to entry on their site is a good idea....
Last time I checked, they were not your bitch, ya know?;)
I learned in five painful years, what obeying every wish of your users results in. Commercial companies often try to make their products simpler, so the stupidest user can use them. Which results in them getting more stupid people on average. Which results in there being an even lower end in that Gaussian curve. Which results in some users still complaining and having problems. Which results in the companies dumbing products even more down. Until they become unusable for intelligent people.
Clippy and all the assistance in Windows are well-known results of this process. Gnome fell into that trap too. And I fear KDE does right now, with the new KDE 4.x desktop. (Hopefully not.)
On the other end are things like VI, that went up until it became unusable for beginners.
This made me define my philosophy of doing things as: I do what I like and what I think is right, and then the users that use it, will automatically be those who agree with me. And I do not run after people, or let them define my reality.
So maybe raising the barrier, is the point for Taco. Dunno, but I just want to say that is it far from being a bad idea by definition.
...some kind of Internet-equivalent of a statue built for him, and the creator(s) of the original AdBlock (of whose I can't even find the names:/). Without this little extension, the Internet would be unusable for me, and many, many other people.
Any suggestions besides making AdBlock Plus a community project and maybe even integrate it into Firefox itself? (After all, I don't know a more important extension. If I would have to choose between having tabs and having ads blocked, I'd always choose the ad blocker.)

They just wait, because why move, when the lawn (and every other plant) will die in some years anyway?
English is not my native language, and I just tried to find out, what the word "mudkip" means: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mudkip
I don't get it... Could somebody explain?
Yeah, because they still ignore that the result (infinity) is i two-component result (much like complex numbers), but with the second component being (i guess) temporal.

They have already gotten literally millions of free player-created "creatures."
Yeah. With 99% of them being penises, vaginas, boobs and asses. Including 4chan-like furry child-dicknipple feet.
Pretty well, actually.
So stop suggesting things as if they were globally true for everybody. Maybe it's just you. ^^

Already done. It's called Postal 2.

At 282507.5 Pa sound pressure, actually very probably yes. ;)
Hmm... I may have no idea what I'm talking about, but if this concert had 120 dB, it would have a sound pressure of 20 Pa.

Poor dolphins.
STOP using that P-word! It only makes you look like an idiot! (Click my link in GP post for an explanation why.)
Now on to your comment:
Well, the biggest problem is, to see Software as a Product. It is not, it never was, and it never will be.
It is a service.
As soon as you realize that, you can come up with many realistic, working, business models. Some also having no problem at all with file sharing.
Hmm... wasn't there this other thing that disabled all T-cells and that wasn't all that good...?
I think it was called... AIDS!
I'm sorry, captain, but both are so weak, that our devices can barely pick them up at all. It is impossible to tell the difference at such low levels.
A have to absolutely agree to that. Patrick Steward always was my favorite character for exactly such scenes.
This, and the episode where he plays the flute, still give me chills.
