The kid will be nearly 60 when he is released. These next years of his life would have been his most important, and now he will spend them rotting in a prison until he is an old man. I won't speak for what he did, but it's a sad fact none the less.
Makes me glad I am not going to live 300 years in the future. You know what they'll be teaching in high schools then? Shit would probably go way over our heads.
Coal is a red herring, no-one is seriously suggesting coal as the alternative and Japan wouldn't be using more of it if it had been a planned, gradual move away from nuclear.
Is it? If we're not using Nuclear and we're not using Coal, what are we realistically switching to?
This sounds too much like a publicity stunt... Stealing the code so they could sell the game on Steam? Leaving literally all traces to point specifically to someone on the team? What kind of wacky idea is that, really? All that was left was naming the archive "leaked by B1naryTh1ef.zip"
Never actually heard of this game before now. I'm sure they could use the attention.
Doesn't the freezing process done by modern cryogenics still destroy the body quite considerably? I was under the impression the idea of reviving you would not only be curing your initial reason for death but also repairing all the damage the ice crystals that formed caused to your body, which would almost mean giving you a whole new body.
Will we ever reach a position medically where that much damage can be repaired?
So I can take a credit card with an obvious woman's name such as "Susan Kay Johnson," hand it to a cashier, and they're required to accept it (even if I might have to imply that's my name), and they aren't allowed to card me to verify as part of their merchant agreement?
That is bonkers. I don't care if you're not liable for the transactions; there should at least be some attempt to prevent fraud in the first place at the point of sale.
Sadly no cashiers seem to scrutinize a credit card regardless if it's signed or not. Often times when I hand my credit card over, I will not be asked for ID, they won't check the signature, or any form of verification, unless I'm purchasing alcohol. Even then it's maybe a 20% chance I'll get carded and they're doing it purely for alcohol reasons.
Hell, my friend doesn't even sign the back of his cards for whatever reason, and he's never been questioned about it, despite a notice on the cards that say "CARD NOT VALID UNLESS SIGNED"
You're pretty much free in the clear to use any credit card you see fit in most shops with zero scrutiny. It's appalling.
Dear god no. If Notch went back to writing Minecraft I would probably stop getting updates for it. At least Jeb can actually follow through with implementing new features that are at least moderately interesting and not just adding rare half-heart cooking recipies to the game which do ultimately nothing.
I will give you the new launcher is a steaming pile of pig vomit, but it is merely the first iteration.
Speaking his justifications for why suicide fit him in a positive light is not illegal. It's illegal to encourage people specifically to commit suicide ("I think I want to kill myself." -- "You should do it!", or telling people that suicide is the answer to their problems, etc)
Because you're speaking utter nonsense. Google isn't asking Microsoft to move away from Flash because it has nothing to do with Flash in the first place. Microsoft is using the video streams directly like literally every other mobile platform does when viewing YouTube.
Yup, that literally killed YouTube for me. I can't stand the new page. It's not designed to handle being subbed to more than a couple channels. It almost makes me smile how Google was ripping on Microsoft over "experience issues" regarding the new app, when Google subjects everyone on the website to their god awful subscription feed page.
It's *hugely* cheaper to do things their new way. Before upgrading the creative suite every year cost between $1300 and $1800, and to boot you didn't get everything.
Only if you're on the cutting edge, getting the new version every single year, and on top of that, getting the whole suite. Otherwise it's more expensive this way.
Most people don't fit into this category, and they're going to pay more over time.
Lets players. Regardless of your opinion of them, it's a pretty gigantic deal these days. Of course this is nothing that couldn't already be done with third party hardware, it will probably make the whole thing more accessible if the consoles themselves are handling the streaming.

Same.

I loved RPG Maker 95/2000. I used them to prototype story and basic gameplay ideas for games I would then create in a custom built engine.
Fair enough.

Pretty sure the 900k mark was early 05. Any earlier than that and I would have used my previous alias.

Wanting to die before you rot in a nursing home is a "sick life view"?
Of course! Now it all makes sense...

And what does that have to do with the current situation?
This has absolutely nothing to do with showing advertisements. They're free as always to show advertisements, even after this change.
...how come we don't get that in the states?

Not that the government cares, so it might as well be valid for all we can do about it.
Amusingly back in 1988 I went to my local IRS office to pay my taxes for the tax year of 1997.
That is amusing. What method of time travel did you use? Deloreon? Police Box? Wrist Watch?
