A hosting company would be more secure. A large hosting company with onsite staff and cameras. With redundant trunks and power. For anything to happen it would have to be nice and legal. Maybe secret can't talk about it NSL but legal.
Taking out power or net to Sealand would be trivial with a small covert group. Take control of the whole place would be trivial. It was done already by amateurs. There would be no way to tell what happened in the event of a problem. A small covert group would allow denyability.
Frankly I don't think the government cares enough about wiki leaks for any of this to happen.
Sealand is a novelty. It exists because governments refuse to acknowledge it not because they respect it's sovereignty.
"Get rid of load times. If I'm playing a game where I'm supposed to be immersed in it, a loading screen just kills the idea that you are part of the game. This isn't 1994 anymore. "
Immersion is a myth. Load time breaks you out of it but the fact that you're using a controller doesn't? The fact that you can see and hear things around you where you are doesn't break it? The fact that you get hungry or have to go to the bathroom when you character doesn't won't break immersion? But loading does?
The concept you're looking for is engaging and it's a factor of the design and mechanics. Immersion can't exist. We don't have the technology for it yet.
On the media center side: Look at the 360. It's exactly the media center you're looking for. It's major downside is the lack of Bru-ray though.
On the gaming side:
As for "look at all the people who didn't buy PS3s". Two words. "xbox live."
Playing with your friends on PSN is well impossible in many cases.
Microsoft made friend/party/chat/social and integral part of the platform that any game can just use with an API call. On PS3 each of these features has to be recoded by each company for every game.
There's not even a way to voice chat with your friends unless the game supports voice chat. On the 360 even if you're playing different games you can always chat with your friends.
The article claims, somewhat incorrectly according to their corrections, that the software cannot be removed. At no point does it state that the icons cannot be removed.
This is the closest I could find: "This app cannot be uninstalled from the phone's software library using any traditional means. Users can delete it from the home screen"
Not only does the source refute your claim but it only applies to two handsets not all android phones.
Here we have a systematic trail of incorrect statements. That sir makes you a liar.
They don't have to. Does every criminal have to take apart a car door and figure out how to make a slim jim before they can start stealing cars?
One group will discover an exploit and make tools to automate the process. They will then spread them so people without skills to discover the exploit can exploit the exploit.
I don't have the skills to break DVD encryption but I can get the tools to do it in 5 minutes.

Yeah this is way out there but . . . .

You mean Dune 2.
Dune was an adventure game in the style of King's Quest or Sam and Max.
Fuck them. They demand your complete phone contact list in order to play the game.
Exactly my original point.
How does that tell you that when someone comes asking they won't turn over all the logs?
Let me point out the elephant is in the room.
How do you verify the anonymity?
If they really implement a take down system that bypasses the courts I think the best way to deal with it would be massive false claims.
Start filling out claims for every image on slashdot.org and file them with the upstream ISP.
A web crawler that harvests web sites and files claims on _every_ resource.
Bad example.
Penn and Teller's Bullshit attacks Penn and Teller's Sacred Cows.
For example watch the NASA episode.
Motion controls are an alternate control scheme not a replacement one.

Rip on Microsoft all you will but you can't deny that the 360 is on the cutting edge.
It's not just a game console. It's a home entertainment device that can replace your cable box and dvd player.
It plays netflix, hulu, some radio program, can stream music and video from a PC or memory stick, HD ESPN on demand.
I don't know how they fucked up the rest of their products while being able to nail it with the 360.
It's major flaw is the lack of high density optical media.
Phones and tables can never be a replacement for hand helds as long as they use a touch interface.
The touch interface is too limiting compared to buttons and dpad/stick.
Any control scheme, other than tilt, reduces available screen space.
Also power on phones is significantly less than existing handhelds.
Phones and tables will have a new genre of games. They will never replace anything.
"You are correct that any shortcut icon can be removed from the home screen of an Android device."
You agree that your statement is false. That's all I was looking for. Thank you for your time.
Not a mistake. It is a complete lie.

The non-root HTC droid incredible let's you remove all the icons. As this is not a rooted phone nor a Nexus phone you're statement is a lie.
When you day "non rooted or not Nexus" apparently what you really mean is "the droid incredible."
So rather than attack any of my points you're going to make a huge deal out of a trivial spelling mistake?
Thank you. Makes me feel good that's the only thing you can attack.
Reread the situation as presented originally. There would be no one to report the cash missing. That was one of the stipulations in the story.
That's completely nonsensical. You think that due to the fact that something is missing the person looking for it automatically knows where it is.
I'm not even going to bother to say any more and just right you off as to stupid or too troll to waste any more time on.
I hear this big pile of cash argument a lot.
The premise is invalid though.
How do people know about this big pile of cash?
Your whole position is predicated on the ability of the pile to broadcast it's location.
<quote><p>There are icons you can't remove on the iphone.</p></quote>
<p>Also true of any Android phone that's not a Nexus and not rooted.</p>
That's a flat out lie.
<quote><p>The keyboard is always Uppercase.</p></quote>
<p>So is your PC's.</p></quote>
Irrelevant. Computer keyboards can't change appearance. Virtual keyboard can.
That's debatable and different for everyone.
There are icons you can't remove on the iphone.
To silence my iOS device I have to change 3 different settings. Keyboard and alerts have their own rules that don't follow the volume control.
The keyboard is always Uppercase. The keys don't change when you hit shift or shift lock.
These are all worse UI than Android.
You're missing the point.
They don't have to. Does every criminal have to take apart a car door and figure out how to make a slim jim before they can start stealing cars?
One group will discover an exploit and make tools to automate the process. They will then spread them so people without skills to discover the exploit can exploit the exploit.

Hmmm. Can this be used to troll friends' news feeds by liking NSFW things?
