False. mDNSResponder is also used for unicast. The command to flush the DNS cache given by the GP is exactly how Apple tells you to do it using Mountain Lion.

You should probably read the things you agree to. Steam is most definitely a subscription service.

It's been done multiple times, fourteen years in one case. They certainly go bad, they just don't change in appearance much.

When a microwave is available, they're not eating MREs. They're eating B-Rats or, more likely A-Rats.

Yes, that's the very definition of freedom. You are not required to do anything you don't want to (install other codecs) and they are not required to do anything they don't want to (serve other codecs). If one party is unhappy with the consequences of their decision, they are free to reevaluate. If you decide you want the media bad enough, you can install the required codecs. If they decide there is a drop in traffic they find unacceptable they can choose to start serving up other codecs again.

There is no possible way this situation could be more free.

And Lance Armstrong said "I have never doped." How is that relevant? I'm sure that producer either wants to feel like he's not accepting payment or wants others to view it that way. Unfortunately for him, that's not an accurate reflection of reality. Giving someone items of value in exchange for performing a service is the very definition of payment. End of story.

On what planet does giving someone expensive electronics in return for a service not count as "payment"?

Really? So these are all actual scientific disciplines then?

Applied kinesiology
Baraminology
Chirology
Cryptozoology
Graphology
Iridology
Phrenology
Physiognomy
Pseudoarchaeology (well okay, that has pseudo right in the name)
Reflexology
Rumpology

I really hope that "well, it has -ology" is not something you use a rule of them when encountering new concepts.

Not that you have provided any source for that assertion, but it's irrelevant anyway. You can set the qualifications for the job requiring them to be American. Studies have shown that while using the Mechanical Turk for social science research is not perfect, it is not wildly inaccurate either. In fact it works best for exactly this sort of study, a random sampling of the population with no other strict qualifiers.

Or, you know, buy an Atari Flashback.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

More than one in 10 people are self employed. I assume that's the 10+% that isn't jealously whining on Slashdot. I don't know who you think the self-employed are but I know a hell of a lot of one and two man operations (particularly skilled blue collar workers who hire a laborer or two) that had very little start up cost. In many industries it's quite possible to build a client base while still working for someone else.

Of course it will. In the vast majority of industries there is room for boutique competitors as well. Efficiency is not the sole determiner of market success by any means.

Sounds like a great time to start up a competing company. You can hire off the cream of the crop talent without having to pay above market average.
