I'm going to go out on a limb and say that most people who would download a strange BT client probably wouldn't know they've got spyware on their system in the first place. They're the type of people who take the computer to the shop every two months because "it's slow".
I recall an article I read in PC World or something similar (cringe) a few years back, that extolled the merits of leaving the overclocking rat race, running your CPU at the rated speed, and the contentment and satisfaction it would bring in the long run.
After realizing that whatever money I saved by buying a cheaper proc and overclocking to the next stepping would be eaten up by the added costs of an upgraded cooling solution, I took this advice. My system now runs cooler and quiter, cheaper, and I really don't miss the extra 5 FPS in my games.
Not that I don't enjoy a good hair-splitting now and then, but the "Government sponsored supported and controlled" part pretty much sums up the argument, don't you think?
Spaceship One and the like are civilian projects. NASA is...something else.
Brent Bozell, president of Parents Television Council, an influential conservative watchdog, said: "Hillary's would-be Republican competitors had better take notice. She is successfully outflanking them on a hugely important issue she intends to make her own."
Because it's worked so well nationally for Joe Lieberman?
There was even a larger public outcry each year when they threatened to cancel TOS, but the only thing they asked people to sign were letters, not checks.
This plea for financial aid strikes me as a little distasteful.

It seems to me that, unless this case was being used in a more sterile than average location, the components inside there would becovered in dust.
In 6 months that thing would be wrapped in a quilt.
I thought this article was about SETI?
but "C" kinda gets it in the shorts, doesn't he?

I think the market over there is pretty saturated with similar places, Japan at least.
As always, they get the cool stuff first.

I like what you've done here.
You managed to paint anyone who might disagree with your opinion of the movie as a unenlightened puppet before they've even hit the "Reply" button.
Nice work.
I think you were revealed as a troll the minute you used M$.
Best...save...ever.
I actully remember seeing it in a http://www.userfriendly.org/ strip.
The above provides much proof for my theory that many "artists" are cleverly disguised mental patients.
But Mom, I WANNA SEE THE STAR WARS MOVIE!!! I'm sorry, son, I can't let you go; it's much too perilous.
If I'm not mistaken Transformers was rated PG. Probably because of that one line.
This is Slashdot, after all.

This may be the best post I have read on /. Period.
I think an "OH SNAP!" is appropriate.
I have $90 earbuds because I like bass, but I bet you I can't tell the difference.
Is this the same as 1111111110.999999999...?
Followed by "'Nuff Said!" and an "Excelsior!"
What's ironic about that is the chances are almost nil you'd be able to play an existing character in Marvel's game.
Marvel is already planning their own MMORPG.
The more cynical among us suspect this was a primary reason for the lawsuit in the first place.
The Snopes article doesn't say it's not true, just that it can't be proven.
