I read somewhere a recent poll said about 46% of Americans believed in Creationism. It may be a minority, but it was the slimmest of margins when 2 evolution beliefs (evolution guided by a creator, and atheistic evolution) added up to 47%.

Here's where I found it:

I installed Windows 8 earlier this week at work. I don't explicitly remember seeing *anything* about SmartScreen. Based on this thread I checked the settings, and it was not turned on.

I'm not sure what I did to make SmartScreen disabled, but there is probably a choice in the installation process which prevents it from running.

The major complaint in this review is that the game (and most recent Mario games) are derivative of previous ones. And then the reviewer goes on to praise the Legend of Zelda series. I've thought that the Zelda games have been more derivative of previous iterations moreso than Mario ones.

95: good

XP (initial): bad
XP (later): good
Vista: bad
7: good

I laughed when he said the first striking thing was that the solution had multiple projects in it.

Is the second striking thing that id used an existing 3D API for rendering?

RTFA'ing says Universal removed the song from their watch list on Youtube.

No, his suggestion is equivalent to satisfying yourself with masturbation because you can't watch other people having sex.

Breach. Not bridge.

You pay money for a sporting event, yet you don't get to choose how the teams play.

You pay money to watch a movie, yet you don't get to change the dialogue.

You seem to be stuck on the fact that the only way to innovate and be inventive is to modify someone else's work. News flash: you can create stuff yourself. You just need an artist, a developer, and a sound guy.

Is a walled garden better than a wide open desert? I think Stallman doesn't realize not everyone is a camel herder.

I think the crux of your problem is you don't like the methods companies have chosen to ensure that their games aren't stolen. That's the main reason for many of those things.

Stallman is the foremost champion of the rights of Stallman. I'm really surprised it isn't that blatantly obvious to people. He calls his movement "free" and yet the restrictions he wants to impose on people can be just as limiting as any proprietary software.

Everything he says is from the eyes of someone who wants to tinker with everything. He does not think about things from the perspective of people actually wanting technology and software as a tool to actually go about their daily lives.

You tell a kid whose parent died that you're not glad the parent is dead, but you're glad they're gone. See how well that works for you.

What? Though since you've never played online you probably don't know that RMT exists in Diablo 2 as well, and this is an effort to combat the most negative associations that go along with RMT (cheating/hacking/scamming).

Also, I think you are mistaken by assuming that the majority of D2 players didn't play online.
