I am so excited that members of the community finally came out and publically supported this figure whom we have all admired for so long. I can't think of another individual who has inspired so many members of the tech community to feel better about themselves - if only for a few virtual minutes - in our times of loneliness and isolation. Many of us as young men spent hours on the internet when there was even the hint of some unreleased file, image, or video. I know that I personally would never have bothered to learn how to configure a firewall if it wasn't for my being so inspired to get that torrent of Wild Things... And though we may have publically mocked her as a nuclear physicist in that Bond movie , we all secretly know exactly what "Christmas" present we wanted to see unwrapped...

What? Dennis?

oh... nevermind...

The two cool parts of this announcement:

1) They are contributing the bits needed to make it work on windows back to open source (Hortonworks is helping that make sure that goes smoothly)
2) They are making JavaScript a first-tier language for writing map/reduce jobs, and contributing THAT work back to the community.

That is awesome.

Do they have to power them off at take-off and landing? If not, why do they make us do that?

Unless people like you care a whole awful lot
and instead of buying DRM'd games they do not
nothing is going to get better. It's not.

Based on the history of fan rage vs. fan action, I think Ubisoft will do just fine.

It is $7.99/mo. for the things that are available for streaming, then for new releases and things not available on streaming, it is an additional $0.00 for BitTorrent.

Movie studios, please do the math.

Imagine a crazy, mixed-up world in which people who have a history of writing useful reviews are given free products to review! Clearly this new-fangled technology will destroy our society. Next thing you know, advertizers will start giving incentives to bloggers to talk about things interesting to their customers.

yeah, because that gradual roll-out stuff really killed facebook.

Sure, they can pass a law that says to replace all nuclear power plants with power plants that do not generate greenhouse gasses. While they are at it, they should also pass a law to make influenza illegal. I mean, that is really bad too! When the rolling blackouts come, maybe we will elect some sensible leaders.
