I wonder if it would be possible to forget LCD and just build the monitor from small diodes? They are semiconductors, so there should be no reason they can't be made very small, and a quick look at Wikipedia seems to suggest that they come in red, green and blue.
I think you're missing the analogy. He basically argued that all cheaters are defined by that long list of things I quoted. I turned that into a joke, suggesting that that long list of things would apply to the vast majority of people in online games, not just cheaters. Were those people removed, the only ones left would be the people who were actually good, and thus I'd be screwed.
So, by your analogy, it'd be like throwing everyone in jail, except for the people you like. Which would be no fun, because who would you shoot at?
Wait, I think that that analogy is breaking down somewhere...
I think that you are severely underestimating the number of 'kiddies or junkies with no IQ, no idea of delayed gratification, no impulse control and not the faintest idea of self-discipline ("idjits") or actively gaining pleasure for hurting or impairing others ("griefers" = sadists).' If we banned them all, we'd have like 2 servers left, full of people who are actually good at the game. I'd have no one to shoot.
Um, my three year old WinXP system doesn't go over 15% when watching 720p video or playing FPSes. Are you certain there isn't something horribly wrong with your computer?
I've been running the E17 DR since ~2005 and that hasn't been true for quite some time. You do not need to edit config files, and in fact when you install E17 the first time it even has an option for a GUI specifically designed for Netbooks. Maybe the Ubuntu version is just broken.
Regardless of what the term Equal Opportunity means to you, what it means to businesses in the US is that they are required to hire a certain percentage of minorities in order to maintain "Equal Opportunity Employer" status. Since Google is not a government contractor, this status is not relevant to them at all. See Wikipedia for details.
Ah, yes, the old imperial to metric conversion. In the states, we still use the old "Library of Congress" standard unit system. I think the LoC to DPb conversion is 3.2x10^7 books / 40 DDs.
Censorship always defeats its own purpose, for it creates, in the end, the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion... In the long run it will create a generation incapable of appreciating the difference between independence of thought and subservience.

Censorship is never over for those who have experienced it. It is a brand on the imagination that affects the individual who has suffered it, forever.
- Noam Chomsky
Forms of expression always appear turgid to those who do not share the emotions they represent.
- Gilbert Keith Chesterton
The censor believes that he can hold back the mighty traffic of life with a tin whistle and a raised right hand. For after all, it is life with which he quarrels.
- Heywood Broun
I want a situation without censorship, because I do not want to be responsible for whatever they may say.

Censorship ends in logical completeness when nobody is allowed to read any books except the books that nobody reads.
- George Bernard Shaw
Censorship reflects a society's lack of confidence in itself.
- Potter Stewart
Then the first thing will be to establish a censorship of the writers of fiction, and let the censors receive any tale of fiction which is good, and reject the bad; and we will desire mothers and nurses to tell their children the authorized ones only.

Please, reconsider exactly what it is that you are supporting. Censorship of any kind is the first step toward totalitarianism.
The linkage is quite possibly caused by society, not by inherent nature. If both cases are shunned, then you're very likely to see more overlap than necessarily exists. There is no control group, so any kind of analysis is essentially meaningless. It is rather arrogant to assume that kind of conclusion from the given data. At best, what your figures actually show is that there is a correlation between people who act on one natural impulse and people who act on another natural impulse.
Additionally, based on studies of animal populations, it is very likely that much much more than "2-5%" of the human population is homosexual. I haven't seen any thorough studies of pedophilia, likely because it is the same kind of taboo that homosexuality was 100 years ago, but I imagine there are aspects to it that we haven't predicted.
Unfortunately, no politician is going to be running under the "Won't anybody this of the child molesters!?" slogan any time soon, so we're unlikely to know significantly more about this phenomenon anytime soon.

Likewise, in much of the US the specification of 35 C is much too low for use during a large portion of the summer.
They really have liquid sensors in them? That seems so... Orwellian. Does that not bother anyone else?
It's actually just a (rather old) flash game.

I have a present for you.

I don't believe my post explicitly referred to cheaters at all.
Psh, Dilbert's been doing that since 1994.

I certainly hope in the end Tenenbaum gets awarded fees, or this'll just be a gain for society at Tenenbaum's expense.
What if your name is Prince?
Oh, right, I can read. RAM.
Disregard the above. I'm dumb. =[

Heck, I might be willing to pay more than retail for a DRM free version.

Which is why Equal Opportunity is horrible.

I was thinking Zak.
And how much did you pay for the air you're breathing?
Hey, this is primo stuff!
Bad Karma.

When they came for the cartoons of child molestation,
I did not speak out;
I was not a pedophile.
When they came for the visual depictions of Muhammad,
I did not speak out;
I was not a Danish political cartoonist.
When they came after 4chan,
I did not speak out;
I was not a btard.
When they came after me,
there was no one left to speak out.

Serves them right for waiting until finals to work on their term papers. Those slackers.
