I'm quite certain that new domains get a boost by Google for a little while and then a push down. Or the other way around. Google does something special with new websites (or possibly only domains) anyway. I wish I could be more verbose, but I'm afraid I've forgotten all I read about it, and I'm too lazy to search for decent SEO websites.
They're giving Rockstar more advertising than they could have possibly imagined. If only such arrogance and desire to force their morality could be harnessed...
Dude, don't you see it? Peacoholics are a group infiltrated and secretly run by Rockstar. They are just a puppet organisation.
If the heat alone is a threat, It would make sense that holding a 40-watt microwave emitter in your lap could cause even more serious problems down the road.
So, considering that you don't want to have your laptop on your lap, since it emits heat, why worry about microwaves damaging your "equipment".
It's like saying "I am planning on ignoring this advice about the heat, but I'd like to know if there are even more threats to my health".
My advice, don't put your laptop on your lap, treat it like a portable desktop instead. You'll be fine.
You might want to try Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, which is free and multi-player. You can get links to download locations here. And if WW2 shooters is not for you, you can try the ETF mod, which makes it a sci-fi shooter instead.
Other good multiplayer games are Starsiege: Tribes and Tribes 2, both were freely available, but it seems now only Starsiege:Tribes is.
In 20-30 minutes you should be able to play a game or two of any of those I've mentioned.
Christmas is still a bit away, but you can always start thinking about gifts. And the perfect gift for you (to give away) would surely be the Forget-me-not panties with GPS tracking.
Greasemonkey is a revolutionary Firefox extension that many feel has enormous implications for the future evolution of the web.
How is this revolutionary? Things like the Proxomitron have let you filter content and add user-scripts for years. Sure, Greasemonkey saves you starting up another app, but I wouldn't call it revolutionary.
[T]he Sun home page has a picture of McNealy and Ballmer smiling together.
More like baring their teeth together. Seriously, I wouldn't want to have any small child see those two together like that; it's just plain scary. And that is before you start thinking about the sentence with both Microsoft, Sun and "identity management solution".
Who do you think is most qualified to deliver (meaningful) support, fixes and enhancements to any kind of software? Right, the original developers. While everybody may look at the (open) source code, the original developers are most qualified to do anything with it in a timely fashion. This one alone opens up possibilities for revenue creation.
Yeah. It'd be all crazy if non-original developers started messing with code. You'd get loads of people working on code someone else started, and that could obviously never work!
Did you know Bill Gates is the only developer MS has? He's the only guy that can produce quality code there!
Darwinia was just finished ( or perhaps isn't even totally finished), so it wasn't even among the entries, so you can take a guess why it wasn't among the finalists either.
I think Malor just wanted to mention another indie game that wasn't in the festival but still despite this (*gasp*) is a good game.
I prefer TestNG for unit testing Java things. It's much better than jUnit, it really is. You can define test dependencies and lots of other nifty things that jUnit doesn't allow you to do. If you are using jUnit, switch now.
Bad entries are removed fairly quick, I'd worry more about small errors creeping into existing entries than big biased changes.
I think you don't see too many huge errors because people who try to do that get banned pretty quick. And it's just too much work to post opinions you know will be removed in a matter of hours.
if you get caught gaming when you are supposed to be working, don't expect your boss to believe you are in fact improving your work-related skills.
I know mine didn't believe it. So now I am improving my 1nva51v3 sur93ry sk1llz full-time.:(

But to think that Google will automagically give you the right information is just rediculous.
Not long ago there was a review of a book in a paper here. The author of the book mentioned Francis Bacon, and discussed his philosophy.
The journalist writing the article about the book didn't know who Francis Bacon was, so he consulted the great Internet. He got his information and wrote a small paragraph about how the painter Francis Bacon's philosophy was mentioned in the book.
The author of the book obviously didn't mean the 20th century painter Francis Bacon, but the philosopher who lived in the 16th and 17th century.
See, looking on the internet isn't always great.
And when it comes to Wikipedia, it's a good source, most of the time. But it does happen that articles written by people who know what they are talking about is being re-edited into mediocrity.

More and more hitchhikers are getting robbed of their electronic equipment.

(No, you don't have to take this seriously.)
I for one welcome out new mind-reading overlords.
It's so obvious, Google Porn.
Google registered googleporn.com and now they're moving into the porn business.
Well, isn't it obvious why Eclipse and Netbeas suck? Because the BileBlog said so! Sorry, I'm too lazy to find a quote on netbeans.
Show them how you make your TPS reports, and hand out memos about the cover sheet.
I don't think the guys who made Darwinia don't like the IGF, the game wasn't finished in time to enter in the 2005 competition.
With any luck they'll enter the 2006 competition.
Darwinia was just finished ( or perhaps isn't even totally finished), so it wasn't even among the entries, so you can take a guess why it wasn't among the finalists either.

Also IntelliJ's IDEA is a nice IDE, but not free.

Yeah, that's funny. I didn't know there were people left who don't use ad-blockers!
Attacking shopkeepers is bad, unless you are high-level.
Killing people is bad, unless they belong to a gang opposing another gang who don't like you very much.
Killing people is bad, unless they are walking in a line wearing orange clothes and you are driving in a car.
I'm sure there are many other valuable lessons games can teach us.
