Why is it that celebrities think people should listen to their political beliefs? Does it make a movement even more right if you have the backing of someone famous?
They can also contribute by not threatening to shut YTMND down because of all the Sonic-based submissions.
YTMND is one of the main reasons Sonic is still alive right now.

...hackers will not be inclined to create viruses and malicious code for Linux operating systems, providing Linux users with relative freedom from being annoyed by viruses or anything like that.
It's not really trivial to create your own custom spam security. Not everyone with a website has a programmer. Even if they did, the cost of combatting spam can be huge. On my little blog I created the entire thing from scratch in Rails using a novel form of spam prevention, I found one post where someone had gone through the effort to code up a spambot just for that one page (linked from reddit)!
You don't even have to code it yourself depending on what forum you're using. There are literally DOZENS of phpBB mods that are custom captchas, and all it takes is 10 minutes of adding copypasta to install them.
I bet you that with in two weeks after you install phpbb with captcha and email account verification you'll have spam bots/spamers registering and spaming your forums
Now THAT is BS. The only reason phpBB is penetrable is because their default captcha is EXTREMELY EASY to bypass.
If you develop your own proprietary and independent captcha (either with a stronger image verification system, or by requiring the user to answer an easy trivia question), you automatically prevent spambots from registering on the site, and no hacker is going to spend days trying to crack your captcha just so he can spam ONE site.
And in case you didn't, notice, the JavaLobby forums doesn't use phpBB. They use Jive.
If they could have implemented one layer of security or verification to prevent spambots from registering (similar to phpBB or vBulletin), they would have prevented all this. But they didn't. There is no image verification on their forum registration page. All it takes is a spammer with a source of disposable e-mails such as dodgeit.com to spam your page to hell.
She's most notorious for her advocacy for the 1994's Assault Weapons ban in the U.S, which did absolutely NOTHING to lower homicide rates.
I hope the Senators who are against this realize her history of stupidity and vote against this.
How many popular games do you see ported to Linux, and how many people actually try to emulate new games in Linux? Not much. My suggestion: Stick with the consumer flow, and keep catering to Windows users.
Right because when he denied credit in that article it totally showed that he's a pompous asshole.
Next time read the article before you spew bullshit out of your cum receptacle ok?
From the words of John Carmack himself, if you discover and implement an algorithm by yourself, even though it may have already been discovered already, you deserve credit for finding it on your own.
If people stop using their optical drives as cup holders, rashly flipping open their cell phones like the way they do in movies, and stop downloading files like "pr0n-nude-naked-porn-boobs-sex-dogpron-fuk-angeli najolie.jpg.exe", yes we would see less broken electronics.
Thanks, asshole, except I didn't make it up.
All you people can do is debunk him and his company. Let me be one of few people who have faith in his vision.
I met Tony Welch during my senior year in high school (a year ago), when I was working part-time as a sales associate at Micro Center in suburban Dallas. He came to the store to pick up some high-end hardware, and when I asked what he was using it for he explained it to me.
I even saw his 3D-projection LCD TV with my own eyes. It was in his apartment. I remember it being made by either BenQ or LG. I remember his three-legged cat as well and his wife, who was really nice.
He explained how that the hardware of 3D TV's was already developed in other countries such as Japan, and that the U.S is lagging behind in this sort of technology. His company is responsible for integrating the software into the hardware innovation. I clearly remember the videos he ran from his computer to demonstrate, common commercials you frequently see on TV. He also gave a demonstration of Half-Life 2 on his 19" LCD monitor. He also took apart one of his workstations (I remember it being an Aspire X-QPack for the case) and showing me the NVidia Quadro FX5500 that was in it. I also recall the light gun he made out of a toy airsoft M4 rifle.
Based on all the comments I have read here, I know you guys will be skeptical of what I just said. If it means anything at all I'll try to dig up the pics I took if I still have them.
Tony Welch, a graduate from SMU with degrees in CS and EE. He is such a cool person in my eyes. Too bad I let him down (long story).
Not two years back when I was a junior in high school, one of my neighbors asked me to fix her computer and backup her files, using the universal reason "I think it broke". After inspecting her 10-year old Compaq, I discovered that her hard drive was riddled with bad sectors. I wasn't until she told me she didn't know how to shut down her computer and instead pulled out the power cord from her PSU everytime I realized why: SHE HAD BEEN DOING THAT FOR 10 YEARS! No wonder her hardware took a beating!

I bet the U.S Pirate Party is beginning to take back their endorsement of Obama.

whether or not the system can defend against the recently developed random-trajectory missile developed by Russia.

Makes me wonder what good piano has done for me for the 12 years I've studied it. =(

The Democrats? Republicans? Both?
I guess thats one advantage VIA and Cyrix have with their crappy processors: You don't get bothered by the Feds.

The word "free" was not assimilated, as the Borg collective concluded that it was irrelevant.

Won't extracting water from the air decrease the humidity even further, producing an ever DRIER climate?
