Bullet hell has been around for a while, there were tons of games that were hard because they were broken, and 'Nintendo hard' is older than dirt, and variations that are nigh impossible for human players have been popular for years (think Kazio Mario). 'Masocore' is not an emerging genre.

I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.

Except that killing off people with a disease tends to make people who have the disease a good bit quieter about it, which is harmful to eradication. If you want to throw down blame, it would be those that didn't do anything to stop it because it was a disease that seemed to only affect socially undesirably groups.

There are also neurons in the rest of the body. Assuming these are replacement limbs instead of supplementary limbs, why wouldn't they intercae with the neurons the body was previously using to do those communications, e.g., control a replacement hand by connecting it to the neurons in the wrist?

Is it? It's probably more competitive than the ISP market, but it seems like there are mostly just a few consolidated companies that handle most everything.

It's almost as if the UI is changing on different platforms in accordance with current popular design trends...

Jobs might have picked up the posture on account of being a buddhist. I associate "sitting cross-legged on the floor" with the band Chicago from their song "25 or 6 to 4."

Unfortunately for the Vatican, humans are humans, and fighting biology is not all that effective. The Vatican provided a great theoretical solution that doesn't play out that well in reality as practical advice.

The claim of copyright is not disputed. What is disputed is whether or not the actions are disputed. That they typically source the material doesn't mean that they are infringing. It's a common courtesy, standard practice for those kinds of organizations, and an extra step to cover their ass. Also, a decent portion of the time, the source is something ultimately owned by the same company, in which case they would want to advertise and also reinforce the notion of those ridiculous copyright claims.

I think in regards to music sampling, it's more an issue of an incompetent/corrupt judge than what a proper reading of the law and case law would return. Bridgeport is a troll with someone dubious claims to the copyrights they sued over. At the very least, they obtained the rights by confusing George Clinton.

Bridgeport is a weird precedent to be using, especially outside of the context of music sampling. Since the UK has at least semi-functional news programmes, I highly doubt that this would apply here.

No, I'm the kind of person who thinks that something like this is nigh impossible to run a system like this in a way that isn't a net harm, and that other mechanisms for dealing with these kinds of problems will have greater success. I'm not saying that it'll completely solve the issue, but that it will get better results. Sitting on your hands and wishing would also return better results.

No, the update would be at the top, altered to have the later knowledge with a note at the bottom, or printed in the next update. You know, the kind of thing respectable newspapers already have as standard practice for a century or two.

I assume this is merely a pretense for searching anybody at will, just like the dogs this is replacing.

Why do you think that unskilled labor is a net loss? America was largely built on the cheap labor of immigrants who eventually became part of the culture.
