But do you want the ATM to be in the same city as the fast-food restaurant?
In the building metaphor spoofing would be like making a building look like a bank and put fraudulent ATMs in there, not placing an ATM in an unrelated location (which would be like having an online banking login on ebay.com).
I'd make sure the emails and websites are in different jails though, emails can contain very sensitive information or just be so important that if everything in the jail was destroyed you'd be fucked as your emails go missing.
Not entering a URL does not prevent attacks, it still leaves you open to altered DNS records or man-in-the-middle attacks. Lacking anti-hack protection then will result in the man in the middle being able to compromise your system as well, possibly modifying your special browser to use a spoof site instead of the real one without telling you.
Maybe I'm being ignorant, but was the same attention devoted to hacking the other systems?
More actually, the Mac fell pretty much immediately and was removed from the competition so for the rest of the day any attacks would have to target the other two systems. Unless everyone just sat back and waited for the day to pass (remember, later hack = lower cash prize, they'd get 5000$ less) the other systems got attacked two days' worth while the Mac only took one day fully and a few minutes of the next.
IMO standards are an asset of the people and an individual doing great damage to the people deserves having the people do great damage to it. I really have very little tolerance for individuals who damage a common good for personal gain. Waterboard 'em.
Trademark confusion is about the label on the box, not the content. You get a box that you think contains openoffice and only when you look inside do you realize it's actually something else.
Animism: Assumes things alive that aren't and living things to be the cause for all change ("where did that mountain come from?" "Adults piled it up") Finalism: Assumes things exist to fulfill the purpose the kid attributes to them ("rocks exist to be thrown")
There was a third one but I can't remember it nor find a reference listing it. Guess those two were easier to remember because I think they explain creationism.
Bus Driver and Ship Simulator aren't even the only games in their genre out there, I've seen Bus Simulator 2008 and Ports of Call and I'm sure there's more ship simulation games out there. I'm surprised they didn't try making fun of Train Simulator which by now sports a catalogue of addons rivalling Flight Simulator (well, if you add the competition in the genre, I didn't really try to discern which train simulation those addons were for).
Attack of the Mutant Camels is even less strange if you consider that it's made by Jeff Minter who always worked animals like that into his games. Hell, there's a game where you're a flying space sheep and have to refuel by landing on grass patches. If you want a weird game try The Last Eichhof where you fly a beer bottle, buy addon beers that fire different weapons and fight enemy beers and then ordinary objects like toasters, lamps and windows signs. And that's before we start talking about the crapload of weird shmups the Japanese produce every day (only eclipsed by the imperial fuckton of weird porn games made in Japan every day which often get turned into shmups soon after).
Yeah, overall most of the entries on the list had me wondering why they were complaining.
Can a trade secret be revoked due to discovery in a case that turns out not to have merit? Would seem like a great way to assault other companies to me.
It's not about at work, it's about rooms where your customers can be, making it a public performance. I think you do need a license for TVs running in your store rooms?
Yes but how many treaties actually violate the constitution? How do the ignored WTO rulings go against the constitution? Does it say anywhere that foreign online gambling must not be permitted?
You'd destroy your own economy in the process since that importing isn't just stuff you don't need. Stopping imports would create a massive shortage of resources and equipment (never mind the consumer goods that get imported) and leave you with the little manufacturing capacity left inside the US to supply the whole country. The capacity was scaled back because of the imports, it can't be scaled back up on short notice. Costs for resources would go up massively, companies that have little or no local production will not be able to produce anything and you'd get a total economy crash as a result.
Yes but how do these treaties violate the constitution? It's about IP enforcement and the constitution doesn't really say much about the details of that.
Depends on how you translate the free software process into your charity analogy. After all you aren't getting the time back you donate to coding the project. Sure, you can "donate" the project as often as you want but I'd argue the project is the charity and the time is the donation, the charity then uses that time to help other people.
"Free software" simply removes a lot of the direct financial incentive to develop that software, which forces developers to look to other business models.
No, it just provides competition you have to deal with. Sure, free is hard to beat on price but if your software is not significantly better than what people cobbled together in their spare time it's no wonder you'll have trouble selling it (though a lot of commercial software does just fine despite being not superior to free alternatives). If a company gets killed by free software they got killed by failing to compete, not because free software is somehow the doom of copyright.

Yeah but at least a few users complain that it doesn't fit in with the style of their OS and they won't use it because of that.

Yes but supposedly even Microsoft is confused by that sometimes.

I prefer just getting a game that I like instead.
Mutually Assured Destruction is a great thing.
The ethical thing to do is NOT fight. Fighting is unethical by most definitions of ethics.

Then don't fucking promise Canada free trade.
Should add a policy to kill the judge, just for completeness.

If you don't like the WTO rules or think they infringe on your sovereignty don't join the WTO. If you do join then you should do your part.
Can't a case be marked as "no further appeals" if it's evident the appeals are just wasting time?
Classic? Do you really need a famous big label CD for something that has been written hundreds of years ago and performed by thousands of people?
