Natural, it's artificial if anything? You don't call other things people choose to do natural or do you?
Someone who is prone to killing themselves has suicide in their nature. Ergo, it is natural. Don't conflate the scientific definition of natural (selection) from the common usage of natural.
So adware companies will simply start inserting random company advertisements into their rotation. That way, there's no way to tell if a company should be ridiculed or not. Don't like a particular company? Create an ad and pay some spyware dude $100 to show it to everybody.
And people got these things called books which are cut down and processed trees with ink on them. I'm sure the day will come when we have access to tons of info at our fingertips (or neuron tips) without the need for books, but damn I think I'll miss them.

That or Sony rips that source code apart and uses it in their next illegal DRM schema.
Sony has produced illegal DRM XML? Where do I download the schema so I can validate it?
I hated it, although I've only tried it on MS Virtual Machine. First, it srashed right at boot. Then, after reinstalling, it actually booted, but the graphics were messed up, and it BSOD'd a whole lot.
So what you're saying is that it's working quite a lot like Windows already?
People use *their own accounts* to troll Slashdot as well, not to mention regular AC posts. How the fuck is using Tor any different?
Crapfloods. There are a few stories which didn't make the top-posting hall of fame (although they certainly qualified for posting volume) because the thousands of posts were mostly trolls. You can't do that with only one IP address posting anonymously. Tor provides you with multiple IPs.
If you choose to disable a section entirely from the index, we remove it from the menu, figuring you really just don't want that section at all.
BSD is just gone for me. I set the BSD section in my preferences to full/full (what I assume the right-most icon stands for) and it shows up neither in the sections area nor in the pop-out sections prefs.
You have such a problem giving credit to the people whose work you use? You don't even need to release source if you don't want. Just using it and saying thanks in your documentation and/or credits is all that's required.
I heard your company featured in a podcast a while back -- some business/marketing one. I don't remember the name, but you probably know the one. If I were looking for a technical writer (and hey, as it turns out soon I just might be) I'd definitely give you some consideration.
how exactly using linux in violation of the gpl is a violation of sarbanes oxley? the article does an awful lot of handwaving but doesn't actually explain any of the hows or whys. i'll have to read again, but it looks like this is f/oss trying its hand at the fud game.
Possibly. People here rail when the DMCA or Patriot act gets applied to situations where the law wasn't intended to apply. Is this a stab at using SOX regulation as the stick to enforce unrelated laws? Violating the GPL is license infringement, much in the same way that downloading most MP3s on P2P is copyright infringement. There's a lot of precedent to enforcing license agreements and/or copyright law such that SOX compliance shouldn't even play a role.
The interviewee doesn't live in Bulgaria, in fact the forum has absolutely nothing to do with Bulgaria. The interviewee was an employee for the web hosting company (not a moderator) who lives in the US. He just happens to have a Bulgarian name.
Wow, all-time low marks for reading comprehension all around. FTFA:
"[update: We've just learned that Boyan Georgiev, the man quoted in the AFP story as a "forum administrator" doesn't even work for metalgearsolid.org; he is a web designer that works at the same design studio as the designer of metalgearsolid.org.]"
Okay, so he's not an employee of the hosting company as you claim. Zero for one so far. But let's see if you figured out where he likely lives. So where's the design studio?
"The company that designed the website is based on Bulgaria, but it is hosted and maintained in the US."
Now if he works at the design studio and that design studio is based in Bulgaria there's a good chance that, unless he telecommutes (what an awful word, btw) or comes in from another country, he also lives in Bulgaria. Zero for two.
This is yet another example of the brilliant journalism in this piece.
Pot, meet kettle. At least you got it right that he's not a moderator.
The quality is fairly poor, and they are black and white. 100+ megapixels only does you good if you have a lens that can produce that kind of quality image, which he didn't.
So... extrapolate from that and imagine if the guy who wants to do landscape photography has a quality lens. No more problem!

Is it possible for someone to be allergic to the glass, or in the case of breakage, to have an immune reaction to the stuff inside the glass?
Allergic to glass? Never heard that one... I suspect it'd be a bit like being allergic to water though. Glass is rather inert.

Seriously, How can they *release* it if it is known to be unstable. Had it been a beta release, it would have made sense.
You do realize you just called it a beta *release*, right? At some point, even if it's alpha software, you have to release it to people for testing.

That is a great idea, really it is. The challenge it presents is, everyone has to "buy in" to the idea of being mirrors for the stream.
Seems to have worked well for Skype.

What you're looking for is "Extrans (html tags to text)". But then, you knew that already.
Does that mean the US gets to keep the moon?
Won't they have to borrow it back from Soviet Russia? Which brings me to the next necessarily lame part... in Soviet Russia, moon lands on you.
"I'm all for riding the demand and material of such child pornography in every possibly way..."
Uh, I think you mean "ridding" -- your spelling conveys an entirely different meaning!

Chill, dude. It's a colloquialism. Do you react the same way when someone talks about there being more than one way to skin a cat?

Consipicuously absent are any wire-based telcos; without them, there's little chance of this going anywhere.
No kidding. I mean, just look what happened to that Skype flop.

Probably would, and that would suck so much I think I'd die.

If you want to do landscape photography with this, then you've missed the point entirely. =P (Unless you're talking about clouds or something)
There were two points. First, cool effect with the motion and all. Second, 100+ megapixels!!
When they're done, I'll be able to play like Steve Vai!
What a coincidence! When these guys are done, they'll be able to code like Stevie Wonder.
