I dunno, there's never really "enough", but there's certainly too many "half-assed" historical shooters out there. I don't care if it's "fresh" (whatever that means), I care if it's *good*.
There were apparently two situations there. One they sold the comic publishing rights, but the company that got the rights went "poof" and the rights reverted back to PA.
The other they paid some dude to publish the first book, who apparently did who knows what with the money, and after years of mystical legal maneuvering at the start of the Khoo era, they got them back.
But,yeah. PA as it exists today as a corporate functioning entity is due to Khoo's abilities.
Well, the writing has certainly evolved, so if you wanted the comic to stay exactly the same, I dare say that you'd be disappointed with any long-running comic strip.
Incidentally, RSP got discontinued now. I suspect they had problems with the studio and/or the revenue wasn't great enough to justify the time spent. I know for my part, I didn't even know Episode 2 had been released.
As for the others, realize that Gabe and Tycho are involved "conceptually" with many things, but have a rather large staff now to handle those. Their main task is still the same as its always been: make a comic.
It was more a case of the PS3 started being *available* and Sony pulled their head out of their asses. It was the same thing with the original Xbox. I do audio-production (and marginally participate) for a videogaming podcast, and the initial "what the fuck is sony doing, and why does the PS3 suck when the PS2 ruled) opinion slowly faded over time as the system began to be non-lame.
As for Fruit Fucker, I never really got what squicked people about it. It's a robot that fucks fruit. And? I mean, seriously.
Well, things like Javascript can expose the originating IP over Tor to the receiver, so it's probably not a large leap to assume that you can look at torrrent traffic and find the originating IP at the application level.
That said, its a "problem" with the originating application, not Tor specifically. As said on the Tor website "Tor does not automatically make all your communications secure."
IIRC, ClamAV doesn't have real-time scanning anyway. Does it have a first party mail server scanning plugin now, or am I totally misunderstanding the issue here.
In the US you have a very limited selection when it comes to phones that come with pay-as-you-go plans, usually necessitating that you spend about ~$50 a decent non-free phone, and they rape you for texting.
You pull forward just a bit into the intersection, past the white/walk line. At worst, you complete your left turn when the light turns red, which clears the intersection.
I suspect that "there isn't a business case" really means "we liked it better when we had a guaranteed customer who would pay us whatever we and our one main competitor decided was the going rate for a launch vehicle. Please don't make us actually innovate and compete."
Part of growing up is learning to handle your freedom to make mistakes.
Parents who spend all their time trying to prevent their kids from making any mistakes at all end up with children who are unable to operate as self-actualized humans in the real world.
Of course, if your kids are 6 or 7 years-old, it's a different matter, but at 14 or 15, they're old enough to be trusted to use the Internet to access whatever they want.
Whatever they want? Does that include porn sites or not?
By 14 or 15, the chances of them having not already seen porn is pretty low these days. They prolly get more "shocking" content from their daily interactions with friends than the majority of vanilla, mainstream porn out there.
I'm not sure exactly why its bad if people are willingly doing things that you consider to be degrading in exchange for some compensation.
You get a lot of that from some feminist and morality folks. They want the freedom for women to make their own choices, but as soon as they make a choice those aforementioned folks disapprove of, it's suddenly bad.
In other words, it is, indeed, hypocrisy the majority of the time.
Nope. American parents are routinely of the mind that porn wavelengths intersecting with their kids' retinas will turn them into communists. Or, at the very least, gay drug-abusing cross-dressers.

I'm amazed...
... that you have the brain power to use a keyboard.
Wouldn't have helped in this case. The remote submersibles couldn't close the "safety valves" by hand, either.
I'm unclear as to who the actual "owner" is, in this case. Is it BP or is it Transocean?
I.. I just... wow.

Your argument implies that DC should be sued because they have a monopoly over Batman. It doesn't work that way.
Apple doesn't have a 99.4% market share in smart phones, however.

Late 80s internet? Humm... must be referring to BBS. So, how'd that internet porn addiction you got turn out?

FTFA: "The Ministry will also target young gamers who use the registration numbers of their parents in order to circumnavigate such restrictions."
Anyone know what this refers to? Is it like an SSN or something?
Is sort of what I got from it, too.
I suspect that "there isn't a business case" really means "we liked it better when we had a guaranteed customer who would pay us whatever we and our one main competitor decided was the going rate for a launch vehicle. Please don't make us actually innovate and compete."
Because the poster makes a valid point, and then extends it to the entirely of the current administration.
It's trolling via hyperbole.

If only I could mod you insightful.
I'm on the Internet about 16 hours out of every 24. I can't even remember the last time I saw goatse.
Nope. American parents are routinely of the mind that porn wavelengths intersecting with their kids' retinas will turn them into communists. Or, at the very least, gay drug-abusing cross-dressers.
I'd hate to tell you what I was looking at when I was 12 on the internet in the late 1980's.
But keep on thinkin' they're fragile little snowflakes.
