I can put this in a slightly un-eloquent manner...
They're all in on it together.
What exactly "IT" is, is still up for debate.

Because that's what we need, is more ways to obtain fossil fuels. [/sarcasm]
Why would we want to spend so much energy and money trying to squeeze out every last drop of oil? This pisses me off.
When you said "...figuring out how to undo its runaway greenhouse effect..." it suddenly clicked in my head...
Wasn't one of the fears of an all out nuclear war on earth the whole concept of Nuclear Winter, where it damages the atmosphere, and causes a temperature drop?
What if we blanketed Venus with thousands of nukes...?
I mean, the biggest danger to a government that is trying to control people is real education and knowledge.
This is what they get for allowing people education on any subject, while still trying to commit war-crimes and atrocities. If you're going to be pigs, you should have done it right. See: Fascism
What, did you think the nerds and geeks around the world would sit and let it slide? Hell, I'd say that the educated and tech savvy of us are your WORST enemies, because we know what you've done, we know how to hurt you, and we're just pissed off enough to do it.
No, the violent video games are not helping the "decline of society", but self righteous assholes like yourself are!
You do not get to decide that violent games shouldn't be marketed. No kids were hurt in the making of this game. No kids are GOING to be hurt by PLAYING this game.
If you're so concerned with violence, perhaps you should worry more about our 18 year olds being sent to their deaths for a "war" with questionable backing and purpose, or parents teaching their kids to hate people who aren't of the "norm".
There are far, FAR more dangerous things out there, and a game that kids aren't even allowed to purchase in the first place is definitely not a concern.
Get off of your high-horse, and play some mortal combat. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised/amused, and I KNOW for a fact that you will not come away from it more violent, or with the idea of practicing a fatality on your friend.
This whole fiasco only applies to the "artists" and "music" that is under the thumb of the RIAA, correct?
Examples being Metallica and Avril La-fake-punk.
Say I were to have my own internet radio site, playing my own original tracks and mixes of acid-techno and acid-house, as well as my dozens of contacts and Live PA partners and their music, would I be safe from this?
Mostly, I don't give a damn about music that is controlled or even touched by the RIAA with a ten foot pole. Real musicians don't need those jerk-offs, anyways.
Long live independent labels and artists! 3
Say I write a program that I want to share freely and distribute as open code (anyone can do anything they like with it). What would that be called? I don't want any "official" license, I just write it, and distribute it my own way.
Is that bad? Is someone going to bring the hammer down on me for not applying for an open source or closed source license?
Why should I care?
Just a couple thoughts. I never cared about licenses, really.
Let's be realistic for a minute.
WHY in the HELL would I give a company my hard earned dollars so that they can restrict what I look at or listen to?
Why are they even allowed to do this? If information is ever blocked like this, I vow to setup an entire farm of illegitimate data, and share it with as many people around the world as I can, circumventing all of their "anti-privacy" countermeasures.
They're dogs.
The next few years are going to be very interesting.
Why exactly do they think it's alright for them to censor like this?
I don't care what the moral majority thinks, it's my choice to play a violent video game, not theirs.
The idea is to have an edge over your competitors... How exactly could that be possible if it didn't prevent companies from releasing "perfect products"?
I'll agree with this, it's completely true.
You can literally see the gender barrier in between some people and Hillary, it's thick like jello, and you could drown in it if you're not careful.
Her policies are another issue, but I rarely hear anyone complain about them. It usually seems to be nonsensical complaints.
I'd like to see the main character trying to do the dupe/drop trick. He'd look absolutely retarded.
Then after say, 10 tries, he'd realize he's in D2, not D1. Haha, he's a nub.
EXACTLY. I see you've read up on software agreements. Basically, you buy it, you own it! Ofcourse, you cannot redistribute it for money, or something, because that would break laws. I don't see how this is legally correct in any way, for microsoft to turn off peoples machines remotely, if they aren't "legit". They just can't get support of any kind. Fair enough, don't you think?
Look, this is NOT news. It's an opinion, and it's a terrible one at that.
I don't read this website to learn "how badly zonk thinks the xbox will beat everything else".
I come here to read about new CPU architectures, space exploration tech, cutting lasers, and attacks on freedom of information, etc etc.
Leave your opinions in your room, Zonk. You're a news writer, correct? I don't think anyone wants this site becoming like ****ing Fox news, those pigs.
Now, on the other hand, I'm not writing a news report, so I can tell you that I think the Wii will do a lot better than these M$ fanboys think. They have an excellent plan, unlike the brute-force plan that Sony and M$ always follow.

YEAH BUT HE WAS THINKING IT.
Because that's what we need, is more ways to obtain fossil fuels. [/sarcasm] Why would we want to spend so much energy and money trying to squeeze out every last drop of oil? This pisses me off.
But I was SO RELIEVED when I saw the tag "duh" on this article. Really, it gave me a sliver of hope for humanity.
I was thinking of Venus, too.

I cannot stand big brother.

Is someone going to bring the hammer down on me for not applying for an open source or closed source license? Why should I care? Just a couple thoughts. I never cared about licenses, really.
Of course they're damn lies. They never cite sources for these numbers or "facts", only themselves.
So true. So painfully true.
Let's be realistic for a minute. WHY in the HELL would I give a company my hard earned dollars so that they can restrict what I look at or listen to? Why are they even allowed to do this? If information is ever blocked like this, I vow to setup an entire farm of illegitimate data, and share it with as many people around the world as I can, circumventing all of their "anti-privacy" countermeasures.

Uh, no thank you.

You can sell the original? Interesting..
