I know plenty of people that can afford broadband better than that, just barely, through their cell phone plans, and they're living on the streets, willingly at that.
"If you cannot even afford a basic Internet connection of around 1~5 Mbps then you probably can't afford a PS4 either."
Spoken like a complete fucktard that has never been to Brazil.
Or any place where electronics and such are taxed so heavily that in many places the only entertainment you have is an internet connection through your shitty cell phone.
IT IS THE VERY FUCKING ESSENCE OF DRM YOU TOTAL FUCKING MORON.
DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT. Do you understand what any of those three words mean, either singly or as a whole phrase? If you did, then you'd understand that robots.txt fits the fucking bill 100%
Robots.txt is essentially a 'you may trawl, link to, and archive/copy this digital information' or 'you may not trawl, link to, and/or archive/copy this digital information' It is raw DRM in its most uncensored (pun intended) form.

IPv6 users are laughing at your dumb ass right now. Can your idiot ass guess why?
Thank god I don't have you as my network admin. Fuck, my company would have been dead long ago with an idiot like you behind the wheel. You're the kind of moron that thinks a TI 99/4A would make for a good switch or router.

Fuck all you political faggots. Given half a chance, I'd kill you and your children just to ensure your scourge doesn't appear on the face of this planet again.
I consider you an enemy to this country and if I find you I will kill you.
Excuse me you fucking idiot, but I can find the same kind of entitlement in any where else. I'm looking right at your ill-educated self-entitled bullshit after all, you fucking fantasy-obsessed roleplaying moron. How about you take your head out of that D&D book and you pay attention to reality and the road? It's niggers like you that are the reason half of my body is reinforced with titanium and kevlar.
"Or, in my case, accessing sigalert [sigalert.com] to see why traffic is suddenly so backed up."
Quit rubbernecking and adding to the backup problem, faggot. If your as isn't on fire, shut the fuck up, mind your own business, and get the fuck on your way.
"If the safe operation of a car requires your continuous full attention then perhaps you shouldn't be driving."
If you can't dedicate your faculties to a single task, you shouldn't be driving at all. Turn your license in you crippled sack of shit. It's fuckwits like you that are the reason for half of my body being reinforced with titanium and kevlar, you witless brainless idiotic moronic piece of fucking human scum. Fuck you and your children, and your whore wife (if you even have one you fucking basement dwelling geek piece of shit.)
"Since when does "accessing the internet" equate to "surfing the web"?"
Since the 1990s you 7-digit 2+million UID ignorant piece of cum splash. Get the fuck off mommy's PC and let real adults talk, child, because you're obviously not old enough nor carry a drivers license.
"Keeping in mind that the GPP was talking about sitting, stopped at a signal, how exactly would that lead to them killing someone again?"
Your sheltered life of stupidity and ignorance is showing. Even regular old pizza delivery drivers know better than you. Turn your geek card in and STFU for the rest of your ill-educated life.
"Do I want to support farms that use atrazine and glyphosate? Or farms that use somewhat safer alternatives?"
Half of those 'safer alternatives' destroy the earth far faster than atrazine and glyphosate.
" I'd rather my food dollars NOT go to the guy spraying methyl bromide all over the place -- you know, so my grandkids will still have a planet left someday."
You'll kill your planet faster with those organic methods. Quit falling for the marketing, it's a lie. There's no scientific basis for any 'organic' claims and your buying into it thinking it's 'better' somehow is BS, sir.
I do this for a living, globally. UK, Australia, Morocco, Japan, China, and many more countries.
Just as a protip, if you're using any sort of artificial irradiation (eg not sunlight) you're not organic at all by USDA definitions. Most people that grow indoors or even in light-supplemented greenhouses don't realize this.
Yes, the organic certification is pure marketing, and has no basis in science. Science only recognizes one definition - contains carbon. Organic got usurped because 'All-Natural' couldn't command the price premium in the market nor make enough licensing money for the USDA.
Not to mention most 'organic' nutrients are gathered from dwindling resources and shipped way around the globe, totally negating any real benefit. You could've gotten the same results from a carefully-controlled application of sea salts (look up SEA-90) without causing nearly as much environmental damage, and it's available in massive quantities across the planet, easily obtained, and is more balanced than most other commercially-available fertilizers.
You know, instead of sticking your head in the sand, you could simply do some research, and also look at the greenhouse itself to determine a few things.
Given size and design and tech, this probably cost half a million to make.

Doesn't mean they can afford a PS4, though.
And if it's your hardware going bad and you don't know it.....
So you just kill an app without verifying the cause of failure. Good job. I won't hire you for IT work. Not even as a base-level computer tech.
"MenuetOS is an open source"
Not the x64 version, which is the version that's actually worth a shit.

Plus if the right stuff is used, if you get bored you can drink one and your firebombing will get even more fun!
Won't go there any longer. Devs better start leaving in droves and hosting their own stuff.
.....have you even bothered to make your own website before?
Because it seriously looks like you've not once touched a self-published cert.
Hand in your geek card.
"I am pretty sure there is no "NSA's archive crawler" visiting, at least none with any frequency that it matters."
Idiot, they had your data the second you put it out there.
If you're in any sort of IT position, your boss should fire your dumb ass. You're a major liability to the company right now.

"Of course, as a robot, archive.org should respect robots.txt"
Robot: n. a machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically
Software is not a machine, hence a piece of software is not a fucking robot. It's a script, or batch file, or something related.
You idiot 'geeks' can't even keep the definition straight, no wonder you can't keep the internet straight, free, simple, and archivable.
The 80s called. They said you faggots should go back to school.

"Uh, you do realize this pertains to internet usage and not phone usage, right?"
Uh, you do realize this little distinction really doesn't matter one fucking bit, as it's still distracted driving?
No wonder you posted as AC. You're too stupid and cowardly to put your words behind something half way traceable.
