IMHO Aquaria has been the best one so far (oh how I wish they'd get back together and do a sequel), but then World of Goo was part of the first, so YMMV. I definitely haven't played all the ones from the second yet.
(Y'know, I think I've actually paid for World of Goo at least twice over now.)
You just described TrueCrypt. Seriously, it has dual-password plausible deniability, encrypting one set of contents one way and another set of contents at the other end of the file using a different password (which just looks like random data if you only use the first password).
I use IMAP for my email. I access my email every day, but the messages are stored on a server. Everyone who uses Hotmail or Gmail stores their email on a server. Is the claim in the summary that it really is trivial to access that email because it's "abandoned" citable? Cause I'd really rather not have it be that easy to skirt the fourth amendment just because some legislation didn't predict the future.
And, ultimately, you're no longer allowed to check-out.
This, times a million. I've been telecommute / freelancing for the last few years and clients looooove to call at non-business hours because, usually, they're working all the time and you're reachable (and have to be) so why can't you?
And it can get lonely, especially when your spouse is also working a "go to work" job (and when they're not, the lonely turns into distraction).
And clients feel that since you're an "outsider" they can treat you like one and delay paying invoices for weeks and months.
I took a pay cut to get back into a normal developer job, at least for a while. It's just a lot less worry.
Parent is correct. One of my friends is a fully licensed lawyer who can't find a job. I believe he's currently working at a clothing store. This has been the case for about a year.
It's weird; if I were a Congressperson, I would be worried about supporting my constituency's interests, not playing stupid political games. I wouldn't run a single negative ad, either.
As if they care about actual results. The people behind this will commission their own review with their own predetermined successful results when they're ready to ask for more funding.
Ironically, Ciudad Juarez is where the only American embassy that processes immigrant visas in Mexico is located. Mexicans who want to legally immigrate to the US almost always have to have their interview at the embassy in Juarez.
I've been basically saying this for a while now. The only problem is that those currently elected would have to vote for it, and that's never going to happen.
Actually, as someone working in healthcare IT development, I'm pretty sure they're working on this now. There's a national organization called NEMSIS that tracks aggregate, non-identifying information of this type, and provides access to research projects. There's probably something for non-emergency medicine as well.
Proof is not necessary in a civil suit, and the IP -> computer link is probably enough for the court to authorize seizure and examination of the computer in question.
You know, I once came up with the notion that if you wanted an *incredibly* loud speaker, and had a large budget, you could encode music into detonating det cord by varying its radius and thus the force of its pressure wave. Depending on how thin you can make the cord, a normal length song would take a couple dozen to a couple hundred tonnes of explosives (not cheap), but you would have the volume to broadcast across a huge area.
Please, please, please send this to the Mythbusters.

Yeah, me too. Honestly, the Vatican would have been the last place I'd have guessed to get it right.
And you wouldn't like it because you're not a naturist. Nobody's forcing you into their building.

But then, that's why I'm not a Congressperson.
I thought they had pills for that sort of thing.
They'd probably sue them for interfering with customers' ability to find legal copies of their movie.

Get them out of the hands of the Commission on Presidential Debates (i.e. a coalition of the Republican and Democratic parties) and back into the hands of a neutral non-partisan (note that I said non, not bi) group. Maybe we'd have a more diverse political landscape if we stopped censoring ideas that didn't neatly fit into the Democrat or Republican ideology.
Huh, you know, I did the same thing with CVS but I haven't actually used the card. I wonder if it works...

Oh, please. I'm pretty sure a judge would side with me if Google complained that I right-clicked the page and viewed source.
Which were felled by massive, in-person protests.

I'm sorry, I just don't understand if it's not in the form of a car analogy.

Something like an anti-fuel-efficiency tax.
Bingo. This was the first thing I thought when I saw this, and it makes me wonder which gas companies are behind it.
Nope. Microsoft specifically exempted software development and pretty much anywhere else where the law could apply to them.
You did realize they wrote it, right?
This proposed law would instantly make Microsoft billions.
Which is exactly why politicians in Washington are bending over backwards to pass it; screw everyone else if it gets more jobs to their state.
