Bah. If people are content to use Windows, and willing to put up with all the crap that it entails, who am I to tell them they are wrong?
Considering that they're enabling a monoculture that hurts everyone by allowing viruses and worms to destroy the work of others and slow down the net, I'd say you're in a good position to do so.
Indie developers lack the funds and connections to bribe Wal-Mart's buyers to purchase and stock the game and to bribe EGM's editor to hype up and cover the game, where Wal-Mart = "the stores" and EGM = "the gaming mags."
In an economy in which bribes are an integral part, people who can't afford bribes get fucked. That goes for the market in games, safety, governments, and everything else.
The thing, and the reason that you're full of bullshit, is that you'd have to enforce these grandiose gestures. One judge inanely declaring that American copyright law somehow upends the very notion of national sovereignity does not actually cause American copyright law to upend the very notion of national sovereignity.
We're not the whole world, and our laws only apply within our country, just like every other nation on earth. Grow up.
Well, that's really your fault for expecting Open Play to be like Closed play.
Now, myself, I have many fond memories of getting a few friends together, giving ourselves 99 levels, and going forth to annihilate. Good times, good times.
But doesn't it interfere with the right of the telecoms to charge what they want, restrained by what the market will bear? It seems like enforced net neutrality is a restriction of private capital and therefore (in libertarian philosophy) of liberty.

What, Macs don't Wake on LAN?
That's what they want you to think.
...in America. Dammit, it looks like a threat, doesn't it?
Your right to speak is protected, not your right to be heard.
What a shame that people like you are allowed to live.
There is quite enough for everybody. The problem is that some people (you, for example) believe that "enough" lies much higher than it really does.
The fact that such desire almost never is accompanied by a desire that everyone else be wealthy, too.
Is it so much more objectionable to worship The Almighty Dollar, rather than the concept of freedom in all things?
Yes, it is. It is the root of very nearly all that is objectionable.
You, uh... you use computers, right?
EVE, meanwhile, is a PC game, which, as has been repeatedly stated, is not the focus of this article.

Not freeware, Free software. In the FSF/GPL sense- as in speech, not beer.
That's the difference between Free software and Open-source software, isn't it? That'd be perfectly okay if it were Free.
Hey, that's one of the best trolls I've been pulled in by in a long time. Be proud.
hahahaha, I should've spotted you for a troll several minutes ago. Bravo, good sir.

So if two Chinese guys, who've never left China, get into a fight, and one dies, can murder charges be brought in the US?
A country's laws are binding only within its own borders.

That may well be the silliest, stupidest thing I've ever heard on /.
Congratulations. It's a big field you've beat out.
Traditionally, going pro in SL involves a female avatar and a selection of special animations...

Hah! Point taken.
How is Net Neutrality related to stopping a DDoS attack?
