I don't care about Julian Assange as a person. He's just a face for Wikileaks. It's their goal which is important. This autobiography is just means to fund the goal. You might as well buy some expensive stickers from their webstore.
Announcing the ruling, the council of the European Union said: "Performers generally start their careers young and the current term of protection of 50 years often does not protect their performances for their entire lifetime.
"Therefore, some performers face an income gap at the end of their lifetimes."
Note how 3 of the 5 things actually mean extra work for the game developers and QA department. That work probably causes the 4th thing to happen: delayed release.
It's simply PC. Although Steam is the most popular distribution channel for the PC, indie games for the PC also sell well through other channels. It's just a major difference in culture for the gamers.
I finished Portal 2 in about 5 and a half hours, and I didn't race and I did explore the area a lot (found various great easter eggs). The game was really short of the price tag. Of course I bought the game in a recent Steam sale. But it really wasn't worth the original price of 50 euros *for me*. For me, Portal 2 was too short. The puzzles were simply not very challenging. But that's a problem with creating puzzle games, it doesn't scale well in difficulty. At least Portal 2 didn't contain a lot of nonsense padding to make the game longer (and thereby tedious) like a lot of games do (e.g. Dragon Age 2 was about 50% tedious padding.)
People who have been doing it wrong for 10 years are less useful that people that have been doing it partially wrong for 5 years. Age is not a free pass for being better, but generally experience should make you better. So start as early as possible with developing software.
Nothing wrong with reusing other people's work with permission. But claiming that you made it (i.e. plagiarizing) isn't.
Also, Fruit 2.1 was released as GPL 2. Rybka is not, so it's a violation of copyright. And Crafty's license also doesn't permit the way Rybka used its source.
Who made you god and gave you the right to decide who shall keep living in agony?
Although, the catholic church gives quite some easy options for assisted suicide; There are quite some "laws of god" in the bible that are punishable by death (depending on how you "explain" those stories). One could simply claim Earth is not the center of the universe, or you could become a Jew, or Muslim, perform witchcraft, or even simple blasphemy was reason enough for Christians to give assisted suicide in the past.
I share your opinion. I, and a few friends, had a lot of fun playing the game over the weekend. It's not a great game, but quite enjoyable. It really isn't for everybody.
And about the shortness complaint... utter bullshit, it took me almost twice as long as the average FPS game coming out these days. Yes, it took me about 10 hours to get through the 34 map files.

If you were like George Lucas, what would you "improve" in the original series?
Call it luck, or educated guess, call it fate for all I care. One miss, and you're screwed.
What is it with Apple OS and exploits in PDF?
Is the kernel written by Adobe?
It's even worse. According to RockPaperShotgun you cannot even pause the game (to answer the door, take a dump, etc.) and when you quite, there's a cooling off period: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/09/22/how-diablo-iiis-drm-will-affect-you/

CoffeeScript is also fundamentally flawed by putting semantics into unprintable characters.
No, that's wrong.
Now I have a larger resolution, but still the same amount of screen estate to use. That's simply wrong.
Just get a job like the rest of us
Just become somebody clicks through to the site doesn't mean the search result was a success.

No you idiot. Correlation does not imply causation.

The *AA will be after you. After all, fast internet is the breeding ground for pirates.

Actually, in a lot of cases "bad programmers" get promoted out of programming jobs. Sadly, into placed where they can do even more damage,

If you didn't download; there no "seal" was broken. At least, it's the next best thing.
Whatever it is, I'm not going to hand over my rights.
Sony DRM is getting out of hand.

As a gamer who has no disability I can, sadly, relate. Some games make flight simulators seem easy to control.
