Put simply, there's no better way of funding political campaigns unless you wanted to outlaw all forms of campaigning and allow any two-bit who wanted to run a slot on a public channel which is... unfeasible. So, at the moment, it's the best system we have, and that's... a bad reflection on humanity.
"I work in 3d animation and special fx here in NY, and i often need to tranfer large batches of frames at film res from home to clients or from home to the office... Optonline became a nightmare to live with. Verizon Fios is the solution for me."
Why do people keep thinking Spore is 'vaporware'? That has absolutely no basis in reality! Oh noes! Spore has never had a release date! IT MUST BE VAPORWARE!
It showed more of an interest towards their own pocket books than the software or their users. But... showing more interest towards their users is just a way of showing interest to their hip pocket because in a service industry user retention is vital. I'm not saying that's not a good thing, but it's kind of naive to think that good service is just for that alone and not ultimately to make more money.
It's hardly diverting attention. It's calling on the fact that Mozilla receives a large portion of its funds revenue from a corporate entity aswell, and probably receives a larger share than just one-third and yet only Novell is being criticised.
I reckon' they're only so open about it (even though there isn't much reason not to be, but all the first posts are praising them for some mystical transparency that is hardly unique) is to compensate for that whole staff-cheating scandal.
Game crusaders are on the wrong path any ways. I mean, seriously, what is more likely to invoke a murderous rampage? Orange-box, or Super Mario Galaxy? In my opinion, the latter.
BAN ALL PLATFORMERS. THEY INCREASE VIOLENCE, OH NOES.
Sure every source has a link back. Maybe on the 0.1% of articles that have decent people working on them. For the rest, there's usually a "group" that reverts any attempt to remove uncited content.
"Keep in my mind I removed over 100 illegal tools and pirated discs upon my arrival as supervisor, as well as some remnants of an internal porn scandal."
Just removed? Didn't report? Didn't go further? There may be an implication of reporting the persons involved but I can't see it. You're almost as bad as those involved and were only covering your own arse when you didn't report them in.
Woo. Go "M$" - I mean it's a dollar sign! Geddit? Geddit?!... no. Almost everyone who uses M$ instead of MS are idiots. It's subtle trolling at its best.
Everyone always calls MS a convicted monopolist... however, based on what I know the conviction is unjust. How is putting I.E on by default... bad? The same kind of people that use I.E because it's already there would complain that there was no browser if there wasn't a default browser.
(This may be entering the realm of logical fallacy here, not intended) Imagine if the penalty for abortion was jail time. Would you agree with it? Would you go around labelling those who had abortions as "convicted abortionists"?
Jimmy Wales himself tried to get *every* reference to Larry Sanger being an administrator removed and he organised it in the admin IRC channel, preventing oversight.
Luckily, due to the fact he was so hopelessly misguided the fact remains in the wiki. The point is, for a wee bit, a lot of admins were willing to ignore all the guidelines and just obey Wales.
Production costs of a music CD are minuscule to game production. DVDs are (supposed to, atleast in the current business model) make most of their money at the box office. The comparison is moot.

If it means bloggers will go on permanent strike, I'm all for it. :)

Isn't that what business plans are for?
I'm fairly sure you're referring to designers, which are quite distinct from writers.

Personally, I found Battle for Wesnorth got repetitive too fast.

So Mozilla pays Google? That makes no sense.

The idea that "open source" is magical security pixie dust needs to die.
They call it... hyperinflation.

Here in Aussieland. We have *many* small shops that sell computers (many!) and none of them presell with Windows.
A man 10x richer doesn't do shiiite to the median wealth. Median is the middle value. It doesn't take into account anything else.

Good to see you respect your wife there.
Easy: Hi Slashdotters. Click here! Free porn!
Just ignore the fact people have to download and install software if it makes your argument easier. Pfffsh.
Search for WP:RFAr. You'll see a lot of stuff going on that you don't expect on Wikipedia.
