Then if the game is worthy then the same thing that happened to FF7 will happen to it. People have been fixing and making the game compatible for years and adding new content even. I played FF7 on my Win7 pc only a couple years ago. Of course now you can just buy the re-released version from SquareEnix directly, but I'd be a bit careful about it because they added random crap to the game and considering SE's track record lately it may just be safer to replay the old version.

Even though its been however many years since SciFi channel renamed themselves, everytime I read "Syfy" it still causes me brief intellectual pain and suffering.

Since it's a school network I would think you'd just make anything they type in the URL bar would take them to wikipedia. But seriously though, I would spend a week creating a whitelist of sites and then whenever they reach a blocked site have it go to a page where they can request access to the site which would then email you a URL, the person requesting it, and their supplied reason for access. After which you'd just have to click approve a lot for a while and eventually it will die down. Whitelist with ability to add it is the only way to manage this sort of problem. Blacklist is impossible and never a good idea.

People and governments are a lot like Windows installations... sure it's just going to be the same each time you reinstall, but if you don't ever do it eventually it will just cease working entirely.

The best way to counter this would be to get a group of people to do the same thing to the police. Create a database of when and where you saw any police vehicle and their license plate numbers. Eventually they will get freaked out enough that there will be a law against collecting this sort of data.

Office 365 IS a cloud app... it is not threatened by cloud apps.

It's not simply just some scans like that. It takes a snapshot before and after the installation of your product to show you any escalation opportunities you may have accidentally introduced. It is not intended to tell you an end users computer is safe, but rather that by installing your product you probably haven't made it any less safe.

Very easy, actually. The focus of a huge portion of my work is dedicated to writing or improving fuzz technology for security testing. I could write a basic fuzzer for almost anything in 20 minutes...

Consent to donate is regarding living tissue which bears the risk of them submitting you to painkillerless torture while they remove your organs if there is a misdiagnosis. In this particular instance they used a completely dead person. In the future they should maybe have 2 check boxes to specify which sort of donation you're willing to do. I won't donate my living tissue but after I'm dead I don't really care.

If by lazy you mean willing to grab your computer and drop it into your car and drive it to a store through traffic letting things bump around and possibly damage your computer and then carry it into a mall or wherever a microsoft store might be, then yeah. Lazy tax.

With this technology we could start arresting criminals even before they commit the crime! Imagine the money saved by not having to investigate anything or in medical bills of the potential victims!

I haven't downloaded any songs either ever since Spotify... or any movies or TV since Netflix (and Hulu for House). The only reason to do this is to screw over customers as much as they do companies like Spotify... they have to charge such high prices because Hollywood has a monopoly on the prices and can set them as high as they like. The only reason they can't sell artist albums that high is because if its ridiculously priced it'll just get pirated. If pirating is no longer possible then its likely that people will pirate again. The billions in lost sales that they're claiming isn't the loss of current actual sales, they're the loss in potential sales if they had no reason to keep the prices reasonable.

I'm pretty sure that suicide or other maligned conditions affect people who have been exposed to molestation as a child more often than it does those who have not. In the future it's probably going to be easier to cure cancer than it is to repair a totally screwed childhood.

That's really a nice dream, too bad nothing short of a large scale violent revolution is going to get that to happen. Where's Tyler Durden when we need him?

Considering that a large amount of our really cool consumer tech has been ported to us from space technology research I'm not sure I follow your logic.
