I do install games ahead of time, but not Steam games. I have a network booted Linux-based system, so everybody just plugs in his PC and can start playing.

The biggest problem I have with Steam are LAN parties. Or the lack of such possibility with a single account (=single copy of a game). Some games can be played via LAN in offline mode, but it's not guaranteed to work. And even if you convince all your friends to create a Steam account and buy the game, you'll spend the evening downloading N copies of the game once they come to your place. Fail.

Never seen a gas station with such a restriction. I typically see "into approved cans only", which means cans made for that use.

The idea of Git eludes you. You don't structure Git projects in a giant directory tree.

Have you ever heard about Gitolite?

Well, too bad the government thinks it *knows* what's good for us when blocking "illegal" websites.

TPB hosts none of the content, but I suppose you already know that.

Now I wonder how this will play with website blocking in the UK, Italy, Denmark, ...

Jokes aside, the linking is what worries me the most. Do you really think that the freedom of speech should be limited to such extent, that you're not even allowed to tell someone "there are people selling drugs in the XYZ street"? Because that's what linking is all about. Telling people where they can find stuff.

(I am the author of Darling.) And you're correct. Supporting PPC is on my TODO list and will not be that difficult I'll just have to port the few assembly routines.

That's up to the end users to deal with :-) But there are lots of apps for OS X not covered by Apple EULA.

That applies only to software covered under this EULA. You don't need to agree to Microsoft's EULA to use Wine. And you don't need to agree to Apple's EULA to use software written for OS X as long as you don't run it under OS X.

How do you even prove that there was an illegal activity a certain IP address took part in? Logs? Hell, I can create as many logs as I can.
