So... it's compiled... like literally every other program every made?

What exactly makes compiled code special? EXEs are compiled code. The term "run-only" is stupid. You have to be able to read the thing to run it, and the computer can read bytes just fine, so... where's the problem?

"Tragedy of the commons".

Building a walled garden can be bad, but allowing free and unfettered access to an open field for everybody's use can too.

Hey now, don't be raging on the white hat for doing white hat things. Not all of us have the meme darkness in our souls.

Had to Google to find out that they actually meant a trolley system at street level.

For everybody in the US: "tram" = trolleys on rails in the street. Just so you know.

Why are you touching all those paper towels? Grab one, throw in the cart, get on with your damn day.

Most people do not take that kind of time to comparison shop. If they can just deliver me the damn towels, then that's fine, I do not have brand loyalty toward most household products, nor do I need to molest my items in order to determine that it's a paper towel.

As in, have they figured out how to make their burger taste like a burger? Or the fish taste like a fish?

Because the burger is straight garbage. I don't understand the hype here, those things do not taste like real meat in the slightest. Texture isn't bad, but the flavor is just wrong.

Actually, as soon as we were notified of the issue, the plugin was closed and hidden on a temporary basis until we had time to evaluate the problem. Once we had done so, I personally created a new version of the plugin, without the malicious code, and pushed it to the repository in order to get the update out to the affected users. The existing committers were all removed, leaving the plugin entirely in the hands of the plugin team. The latest version is now safe and will not be otherwise until we determine the full details of what happened here.

Full disclosure is great, but some advance notice longer than a day or so helps a lot. We will always protect our users to the best of our ability, but sometimes, we get blind sided. It happens. Nobody posts about the dozens of other times we fix things before they get exploited. Not judging, just saying.

Use an encrypted password storage system like 1Password or LastPass. Yes, it's not perfect, but what is? Passwords that don't look like line noise are vulnerable nowadays.

WordPress does only store password hashes, using the PHPass hashing library.

I've been using CyanogenMod for a while now and 6 is the best release yet.

Actually, I paid five bucks for it, and afterwards I wanted my money back.

As for the OCD goals, I hit more than half of them on my first (and only) play through. The game was trivially easy, I'm afraid.

It sucks for a lot of reasons, replay-value is only one of them (although it is the main one, IMO).

Not necessarily, but in general, yes. If it's only worth watching once, then it's probably a poor film. If it's only worth reading once, then it's probably a poor book.

Think of your favorite movies. Do you watch them again? Do you own them on DVD? Do you buy movies on DVD that you don't want to watch more than once? Why not?

Same basic principle at work here. Replay-value is an important part of a purchase decision. I don't buy DVD's until I've seen the movie already, why would video games be any different?

Assuming it's in enough cars, you could do it with a mesh-network topology. It'd probably require special software on each device to work that way though.

No, he's right. WoG sucked.

If I can play and beat the game in three hours, and it has no replay value, then it sucks.
