Actually this is going to make things worse.

When the annoying, music playing, flashing punch the monkey ads were in flash, it was trivial to block them using something like flashblock because you simply stopped the plugin from running.

Now adblockers are going to have to parse the code making it very easy for ads to avoid detection and masquerade as content.

This is a direct reaction to what they did in Sydney during the Martin Place Hostage Crisis. Uber was caught charging $100 for a ride that only cost $30 in a normal, licensed and insured taxi. Their response was "free market, so fuck you Australia". Whilst the world ignores this happening in Australia, they wont ignore it happening in NY.

You are completely missing the point. Raising the minimum wage does NOT reduce the number of poor households, because most minimum wage earners are NOT poor.

Yeah, good luck with that.

Countries that have a higher minimum wage have less poverty. Hell, counties in the US that have a higher minimum wage have less poverty than those with a lower minimum wage.

You are completely missing the point.

He didn't miss your point, he got it. It's just that your point is so horribly wrong its not funny.

The Greek Orthodox church is very powerful in Greece. One of SYRIZA's platforms is removing the benefits the Greek Orthodox church gets.

The poker player analogy is a good one.

All of the best and most successful poker players are experts at bluffing. Those that suck at bluffing rely on blind luck and rarely get anywhere.

Of course we do, there's no joke to be made in the fact this guy is a qualified, experienced and respected economist.

Now take your new Greek Austerity hat and move on you humourless sod.

OK, I see what you're saying. That there's really little reason for the operating system on a home computer to look and work exactly like the one at work.

I agree. I think as computer users, we're mature enough not to need this level of familiarity. This is one reason that at some point down the road, I hope to be able to use both Windows for my digital audio workstation in my home studio, and some form of "SteamOS" for playing games. Of course, with companies like EA/Origin and Ubisoft using their own game store platforms, I don't see all PC games being compatible with a SteamOS for some time to come.

Here's the thing: although you're entitled to your opinion, that doesn't change the fact that it's both wrong and un-American. In fact, the United States wouldn't exist without anonymous public comment!

So, if you hate freedom that much -- and make no mistake, freedom requires anonymity, so if you hate anonymity then you hate freedom -- then by all means continue to think that way. But please do the rest of us a favor and GTFO of the USA!

Only cowards need to hide behind masks, the same as KKK and ISIL members

Or Christians in ancient Rome, or Jews in 1930s Germany, or educated people in 1970s China, or (soon) freedom-loving people in 2010s America.

Presumably, because in America you can't be thrown into prison for your speech -- so the powers that be will trump up some other kind of charges instead.

It's not self-loathing, it's loathing of tyranny -- a fine, patriotic American tradition.

For that to work, the vast majority of the game has to exist on the client (i.e., it has to be single-player or capable of LAN play or something). Hackers are not going to be coding up an offline server for an MMO. Maybe they'd be stealing the server-side code and adapting that, but not coding it up from scratch.

You might want to check your camera before heading into court. I have a gray market cam from DX.com that under-reports speed by a wide margin (it displays about 60MPH when my speedometer shows 70); when I use the viewing app they provided, it shows the GPS-plotted path on Google maps, and it shows my true speed.

You want to be sure it's accurate because there is no benefit to you in angering a judge by presenting incorrect evidence.

B5 just demonstrates that star power is overrated.

A really good story could easily overcome wooden/over acting and mediocre scripting.

B5 had a feeling of grand scale to it and was on the forefront of using CGI. Other prominent sci-fi shows at the time were still primarily using models.
