Correlation is not causation? People who are likely to commit domestic violence, rape, and with childhood traumas may be more drawn to the endorphin rush of pornography. That doesn't mean the porn actually causes those behaviors.
Whatever happened to doing things because they're fun or cool? I don't understand...he does something that is, by all accounts, really neat, and people ask him "Why? What's the practical purpose?"
He did it for the "Can-I-really-do-this?" factor. Isn't that enough?
Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits. I must say, he's a very nice person. Whenever I talk to my friends about an issue that's important to me, they tell me "Noone cares" and "Noone likes you." He must be a very kind and outgoing person. I guess he hates beer though.
The act itself does not constitute a violation of copyright. Sure, maybe he enabled a few folks to violate copyright; however, unless he was placing copyrighted code onto their modded consoles, he only made some software and hardware modifications on boxes that had been legally purchased with the owner's consent.
Services like Tor can be used to mask the identity of a child pornographer; however, the use of a service like Tor is not equivalent to downloading or sharing child pornography until the actual crime is committed. I'm for a reasonable enforcement of copyright, but only when an actual crime is committed.
How, exactly, is it a knockoff? Powershell uses an object model for pipes rather than text, allows access to.NET classes within the shell itself, and provides an API through which you can write custom providers (i.e. browse a database, the registry, or SVN repository as if it were a filesystem). Call it what you will, but I really can't think of any existing *nix tools that come with all that gravy. When you look at their internals and the way they're designed, really, Powershell is nothing like bash (other than the fact that both are powerful, usable command shells/scripting languages).
I shouldn't be too hard on bash--I love it. But at work, at least, I'm in a.NET shop and Powershell really makes the most sense. I use Linux at home, so really no reason for cygwin =).
I'll get an old Windows box and try it out, though.
Seconded on the Powershell comment. I fell in love. I had most of ours partially scripted in Perl, but replaced it with a far more efficient set of scripts written in Powershell.
Since this is Japan, we would need to be more worried about tentacles. Anything Japanese that has tentacles is bad, bad news for schoolgirls the world over.
Why do people assume Wikipedia should be held to the same standards as a journalistic publication? Wikipedia is not meant to be a newspaper, and its editors are not members of the press.
This happens all over the world. When it happens in the USA, however, people stand up and make noise. Part of the reason the USA may seem so oppressive is the massive voices of opposition from the other 49%. Contrast the US with a society like Russia, where the ruling de facto president (Medvedev is a Putin puppet) enjoys a 70% approval rating.
Something like this: "Either you do it with your own Farsi subtitles and make $0 from Iran, or we allow you to sell it and you use OUR Farsi subtitles."

Who would have thought that 867-5039 would be a bad idea?
You can try. But remember that Disney is very, very, very big. The silly parks and cheesy cartoons make up a tiny fraction of their overall empire.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assets_owned_by_Disney as a reference. Big.
You've obviously never seen a Texan.

That's nothing. Once I had to reply to some jerk using monospaced font.
Solution: date technically inept people.
They usually smell better anyway.

So how many books cover functional programming?
Oddly enough, China is #1 for highest percentage of female suicide.

Sure. Tell me again how to access .NET classes and write custom providers for bash?
I don't think so. If it was in any way possible to have sex with an operating system, the OSX fanboys would have discovered it by now.

Where the hell do I get an astroturfing job? My employer's paying me to sit at my desk and troll Slashdot anyway...I might as well make it official.

Isn't it somewhat ironic that those who describe themselves as "pro-life" are so often vocal supporters of the death penalty and various foreign wars?
I think he's referring to the operating system that's the de facto standard in the corporate world.

The boss got angry when he saw a 4-hour call to a 900 number.
