Rather than engage in actual tech news, let's speculate wildly(second guess in as many weeks) on the identity of someone who explicitly wanted to remain anonymous, and who has committed no crimes. That sounds like a grand engagement in journalistic credibility.
Anyone who really wanted to could find out my identity, but I wouldn't want them to start posting about their ideas as major headlines.
As an owner of one, I have to disagree. You can come over and use mine. If you can beat the first 2 chapters of half-life 2 without taking it off or vomiting, I'll be staggered.
Seriously, every bit of horizontal motion not matched by your head is going to make you feel a little sicker, and even a tiny bit of unmatched vertical motion will have you vomiting.
How do you determine who is eligible to be spied on? Why would you or I be so privileged that were above being spied on?
I'm not a huge fan on spying on everyone else in the world, but the 4th amendment would provide specific exemption to everyone in, say, the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal government. Barring a warrant, of course.
Leaks can be detected and contained at relatively low levels and happen with "big nukes" too. And it's nowhere near the environmental risk that meltdowns are.
That's the thing though. He's asking "How can I spy without spying on a particular subset of people I'm not supposed to spy on?"
It's like asking "How can I put my clothes in the washer without putting my wool suit in the washer?" Especially since most of us are only worried about that one t-shirt with the mustard stain, it seems particularly inane.
"Maybe a few of the students who actually spent 100 years learning history would be able to cause the holocaust." or "Maybe a few of the students who actually spent 100 years learning music would be able to write dubstep" or "Maybe a few of the students who actually spent 100 years learning nuclear engineering would be able to make Chernobyl"
Yeah, I know about that, but unlike terrestrial plants which require substantial resources of many kinds to thrive, phytoplankton can be encouraged pretty easily.
Hoping for a technocratic solution is perhaps a little naive, but I much prefer a compromising attempt where we can learn from our mistakes to a hardline approach, or doing nothing.
Guess what, before this post, in this very same discussion, I called it free-to-play. Sometimes one uses abbreviated phrasing to communicate more effectively.
"Distribute more copies to sell worthless e-crap from" doesn't roll off the tongue.
"Absorbed by the ocean" happens at a pretty rapid clip. With a bit of sanity, we could actually manage a net change of near zero carbon dioxide, but we've decided that unsustainable industrial growth is preferable.
Hey, look, when you cut out all the fan-energy by making money grubbing products designed to suck money away from customers more than be fun, you have to start spamming the hell out of your terrible(but expensive to make) free-to-play games.
Why shouldn't the workers get a tidy bonus for providing an extra service to their employer? Electric cars mean having a nice battery pack travel with you wherever you go.

And only the most backwards of government would make that an ex-post-facto offense. The creator would still have committed no crime.

Yes my rift is sitting approximately 2.3 meters behind me.
My nostalgia is PC games. It's just a better mobile gaming choice than a tablet or phone due to input technology.
the nausea and vomiting parts are laughable,

Wow... MTFU! You motion sickness people make me sick with your faint-hearted constitutions. I bet you can't read in a car either!
People started complaining when I ran them over.
When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

It is incredible, but your body's reaction ain't.

I'm sorry that someone deleted the article consisting of "Reapy is awesome, dudes".

Something about your analogy bothers me.
I mean, translating it to another field:
"Maybe a few of the students who actually spent 100 years learning history would be able to cause the holocaust."
or
"Maybe a few of the students who actually spent 100 years learning music would be able to write dubstep"
or
"Maybe a few of the students who actually spent 100 years learning nuclear engineering would be able to make Chernobyl"
Long enough to recognize that they do what we say, not what we want.

I'm pretty sure that the last 3 days are contained within the last 100 years.
Not just that, but this article has been around in various incarnations for a solid decade now.
They did used to make good games, before the dark times. That doesn't mean anything about their recent trend of over-advertising bad games.
No, a table interface shoehorned onto your desktop because the Ubuntu devs say so. It's so much better in Linux land.
If it was full of accurate statements, they'd never sell any copies.
"Absorbed by the ocean" happens at a pretty rapid clip. With a bit of sanity, we could actually manage a net change of near zero carbon dioxide, but we've decided that unsustainable industrial growth is preferable.
Pfft, what's a few orders of magnitudes between friends(or industry shills)?
