Even worse, imagine a govt makes a botnet that then crosses borders and infects important computers in a hostile nation. That could very well lead to a war.
Of ccourse banning knives will stop knife crime but the question is if it'll stop the killings. It does sound more like a social problem that the youth is killing each other than a problem with the available tools. Remove the tools but ignore the underlying social problems and they'll kill each other with something else. Of course banning something physical is a popular pretend-solution for politicians when it comes to things like this.
It gives freedom to the users of your code which includes the freedom to make a version that does not include the freedom. Of course those forks only make their changes proprietary since anyone can still get the original from you. It adds freedom to your code but doesn't require others to add freedom to their changes.
I see that as different goals. Totally unrestricted code is made to save everyone the effort of reimplementing that, even commercial developers. GPL code is made only to benefit the GPL community.
People keep pulling out the "H2O is stronger" stuff. It's a fast cycle and of course a part of what gives the Earth its current temperature. The H2O stays within the same range, the CO2 is going up. Since the effects add up that gives an increase even if the H2O amounts have more effect.
Yes it is our place. "Mother nature" is just a term for the things that managed to survive in their environment until now. The human strategy for survival is intelligence and intelligence allows dealing with the environment by effecting massive change on it. As for personal vs global level, humans are social animals. It would be unnatural and inefficient to have everyone work for himself when we're a species that works best in groups.
No, we won't see an improvement in the environment before we can change humans to no longer consider it the best path of action to pollute the environment in order to save their own money or effort. In political systems where disregarding the environment is massively advantageous and respecting it will make you suffer leading to natural selection pressure AGAINST those who try to protect the environment. Good luck with that.
Do you think they just had a warm summer and declared climate change? They are looking at long term cycles. Many people just pull out random factors and say "it could be all this factor" but you can be damn sure with that many people working on it at least a dozen have thought of the same factor and calculated its influence.
That's because most people who get into a position of power got plenty of courting from the big lobby groups before getting the job.
Besides, some philosophies automatically declare any human as corrupt and it's no surprise that this becomes more of a problem as the human's power increases.
The TANs are used per transaction, not per login. Not sure they're OTPs though, might be a bit short for that and the bank doesn't know which one of your 100 codes you'll enter next so using them as OTPs wouldn't work. Wikipedia sounds like the point is to give you a physical object (the TAN list) that you must possess in addition to the password that you memorize to get two factor authentification.
You count only the money available, he counts money plus bought assets (don't have the English translations for the proper terms at hand) which is really what makes sense to watch for when talking about the failure of a device. If you only consider the liquid money then he lost 50$ whether the device failed or not but we're arguing whether the device failing now is a big loss.
It improved their sales slightly but pales in comparison to the insane sales Nintendo racked up with their "non-games" on the DS and Wii. Noone said MGS does nothing, it just doesn't do enough while games made at a fraction of the budget are completely dominating the market.
A problem is that they've sacrificed their games division for their movie division (or video hardware division or something) and in the past the games division has been a major source of profits, now it's a massive money sink.
I don't think BluRay will beat DVD at 299$. 29$ is more like it. The gain is tiny so the cost increase should be tiny too.
It's still a pretty unclear definition. To me Geometry Wars isn't hard in an unfair way since it doesn't pull any trial and error crap and such on you, just enemies charging at you at increasing rates until you are overwhelmed (thus increasing the necessary skill to survive until you give out, effectively testing your limits). Unless you count having to start over after running out of lives but really, it's a highscore hunt, how else should it work?

They released another one after St Anger.

Last I checked people were talking about how we're due for another ice age.

"Free" and "Payment" are mutually exclusive in any language on Earth.
Well, except for the ones opensource proponents talk, of course.

That sounds like it's just the local name for treason.

You know, it was the Nazis who marked people as enemies of the state for having the wrong religion, not the German Jews.
"Take over"? You want to threaten an EU member state with military action?
Sounds to me like they were just bragging that WGA actually noticed when a user had a counterfeit copy, not that it had any effect on the sentence.
Isn't that how Java can sustain its population density?
In Germany they hand you that if the system insists on a PIN entry as opposed to a signature. Not sure about the exact pattern.

But it's a good enough approximation and very simple to handle (much simpler than elaborate GPS schemes and whatnot).
