I work for Microsoft, and trust me, we are so disorginised we dont even know that there exist teams in one office doing the SAME product as another team in a different office but the SAME BUSINESS UNIT. I dont think we can organize a lightbulb replacement party.
Theo's passionate, a good quality many people are lacking.
Nor does he care about promoting his operating system. He's not looking to make truckloads of money off it. OpenBSD is developed by people for their own damn use. Theo could care less what you think of him and his OS.
But it may be in Youtube's best interest to devise a system where they didn't send content to locations where it was illegal to avoid being totally banned.
That's what your parent suggested, I think.
And the people posting the content may not come from or be in the country where it is illegal.
I don't think that matters, at least not in this case. Some content may be illegal in some way or other to broadcast (=for people to view). If a video is produced, but nobody views it, is it then a broadcast?
I'd say "mucho butt" is a bit of an overstatement. They are quite comparable in audio quality, but different encoders may give you varying results.

I still don't see how this is different from many other, worse blogs/sites linked to in slashdot articles. Why are Roland's articles so OMGHorrible (tm)? I mean, the original article is linked right there in the slashdot summary, contrary to what might be expected in any other slashdot article on a blog posting. This boycott is a bit of a flaming WTF to me, really.
There simply isn't an excuse for this blatant attempted robbery in the name of socialism;
You fail. This is capitalism at work, not socialism. Microsoft is being forced to not abuse its position of monopoly, in order to promote a free market. Better interoperability would foster competition, and competition is what we all want.
You mean $10 yearly fee. I calculate that I'd pay about 4.90 EUR = 6.50 USD for one year of having the Wii on 24/365, if I had a Wii. Oh the humanity! In 37 years, I'd save enough to buy a second Wii!
Meh, you pansies. When I was an exchange student, we had a spider net of Cat5 running outside the dorm from window to window, drooping down in between and hanging in the wind, and we liked it that way!
You clearly don't live in the EU for sure, or you wouldn't be talking about "EU citizen" this and "EU citizen" that. The EU is NOT a country, and nobody here is under any kind of illusion that it is.
I'm not sure you could get reliable results, it might depend more on the individual. For me, sometimes I massacre as much as I can in GTA, other times I play nicely, and even try to be courteous to NPCs depending on how I feel like playing. Kind of like role-playing, actually, so you'd have to find out whether the subject is playing a role, or playing as him/herself.
I think that's what's missing from some: a sense of danger. Not just to oneself, but to others. What I wonder is, can this sense be distorted by the carefree-ness of video games, where actions don't carry consequences?
Maybe, maybe not. Personally I agree, I'm in my mid-20's now, and I've played violent games of all kinds since I was 10, and I'm the exact opposite of a raving lunatic. I don't need to play violent games either, I don't go crazy if I don't get to kill someone. At the same time, I do acknowledge that I'm affected by violence, I may be more intense, more adrenaline-filled after a gaming session, but it doesn't change who I am. But I have a hunch that it might affect some people.
Perhaps it's not that games and movies could make people violent, but that they are merely bringing out the character within. That's actually scarier, now that I think of it.
I just checked, and The Finnish Red Cross has the same restriction, with the explanation: "hepatitis or HIV; number of fresh hepatitis or HIV infections are ten times more common when compared to the rest of the population". Sounds fair enough. If you don't have specifically male-male intercourse, there's no restriction though, nor if you have female-female. It seems to be about what's statistically sensible, to my eyes.
Are you perhaps referring to those marks which are there, you know, inside the pyriamid in the form of inexplicable corridors with no apparent use (anymore)?
And what about security? Anyone could hijack someone else's sewage pipe to capture the flow traffic. Perhaps you could discourage such practices by sending packets with a particularly evil bit set.
Yes, there's something non-regular about it. However, I thought this text at the top of the main page was another joke since I hadn't seen it before: "Slashdot stories can be listened to in audio form via an RSS feed, as read by our own robotic overlord."
It seems to be what usually happens. The breakoff population tends to keep older forms and grammar, while the "host" country moves forward faster. I've seen it in several languages.
I did see a rumour somewhere that he was considering pulling the funding. As I see it, however, they did reach the finish line, just didn't get to cross it. But that's what test flights are for, right?

Or you could just, you know, convert them to 320x240 sized png files while you're at it. :)
Maybe it was mild epilepsy?

Awesome! I would certainly part with cash for that, if it goes all the way to advanced levels of knowledge.

Not the root, no, but certainly part of the problem in that case. Not that banning and censoring left and right would solve the problem, of course.

Also, their logo is cool: TiSP
ACtually, they haven't thought up a single one yet. Only reported on other stories, just like normal.
To my surprise, it actually isn't a joke!
