It's the first time I'm hearing about IAC. That was not the company when I bought the two products, it was GG, nothing else. And at the time they actually had one guy from the community who was officially creating patches for the Linux version, and he was doing it for free. Suddenly they decided that the Linux version would be "community supported", which could be fine for a lot of people (myself included), but what infuriated me was when they simply decided that they would completely remove Linux support and not accept any more patches from that guy. This wasn't really costing them more money but they deliberately decided to fuck all the people who showed them their support, when they could have very easily maintained Linux as a target platform. So, as I said before, screw you GG.

Crowdfunding to port Torque to Linux? Interesting... but I'm not falling for that one again. I already "donated" a few years ago, when I shelled out over a couple hundred dollars for both Torque3D and Torque2D under the promise that they worked on Linux (they actually sold three versions: Windows, Mac and Linux), only to have all my requests for help completely ignored when I complained that neither of them worked, and see the whole Linux ball dropped a few months later. So GarageGames: screw you, you're not getting my money again.

One more unfortunate step towards 1984... :(

The suits are seeking monetary damages on behalf of potentially millions of users of the three companies.

Cool! I'm a user of google and facebook, so if they win, I'll get some mone... oh, wait...

I simply don't understand how this idiotic flood of lawsuits from everyone suing everyone else is still allowed. I mean, has anyone stopped to think of how much time and money is wasted on stupid cases? Not that this subject isn't important but come on, seeking monetary damages on behalf of the users?! WTF?!

Cool, I didn't know the iPad could use the mobile network. But in that case - and I'm not simply bashing the iPad, personally I have nothing against it - it just makes it more stupid: if it already connects to the mobile network, why not make phone calls?

"Cool, an iPad! I can finally make phone ca.... oh, wait..."

There are many instances of one species wiping another out of existence.

Knowingly?

Causing the situation by means of their actions and not doing anything (or very little) about it?

No, of course not, but the specific situations you mentioned are man-driven. Besides, no species become extinct in those situations any more than, for example, the Iberian Wolf became extinct; they disappeared from southern Portugal and Spain but they're not extinct.

We are natural, indeed. Unless someone else created us (I don't believe in a god or a "superior entity", btw).

So we're either a glitch in Nature's seemingly perfect system, or a far technologically superior alien race made us.

That's actually a thought that crossed my mind a few times. Not that I give it any credibility or much thought at all but sometimes I imagine that we're nothing but tiny little particles in someone else's universe. Kind of like the galaxy in MIB 1 :)

Again, as I said in the comment I replied to a few minutes ago, those are not naturally occurring situations, those are situations created by man.

Rats didn't swim to easter island and cats were introduced in some regions by humans, too - not to mention that the latter are a species created by humans.

Look folks, it's quite simple: species don't anihilate each other just like that, because it would disrupt the whole ecosystem around them. This isn't rocket science and even farmers (no disrespect meant, it's just that farmers are not biologists, just as biologists wouldn't know how to grow corn) know what happens when some animal species gets wiped out from a region. The effects can be invisible or can be catastrophic. And Nature doesn't "let" such things happen just like that. The whole system is "built" on a very delicate balance.

Enough babling, I think I made my point.

Although logically correct, I don't think your arguments are valid, because you are mentioning situations that do not occur naturally in nature - they are created by man.

Actually, Bananatree3 is right: we are the only species that destroy our own world and lead other species to extinction.

What you are talking about is natural selection, something that occurs naturally; what Bananatree3 was talking about is doing it on purpose, in a unnatural way.

The domain owner is not stupid. He possibly bought the domain because he had other plans for it. The web is full of sites with "cool" and "funny" domain names like this one. Why should this be different? What he should do is let the banks and companies sue him for having their private documents, and then counter-sue and make a big pile of money. That would probably teach something to those stupid admins. But even if it didn't, at least he'd be rich. I know I'd hope that it would go on, if I were him.
