Google is not playing police, they merely tell searchers it's a bad idea to go there. If you don't want others to link to you, don't go on the intarwebs. Also getting indexed by google is only possible if you sign up.

Yes it's terrible, you have to type in "User-agent: *\n Disallow / " I can feel you pain.

I would love to see that happen. Imagine you can pick any class and evolve in it. There must be a mechanism that gives you an incentive to keep playing the same class. You get rewarded with specialised weapons, e.g. an improved tank or mechinfantry. Not only do you get rewarded for frags but also for following orders and pre-battlefield instructions. Over time you can become higher in rank which actually gives you authority over other players.

Basically this would be the perfect balance between the excitement of arcade and the lawfulness and realism of simulation. This would take out a lot of annoying game elements that are solely produced by game-developers creating instant gratification to children, whoring for frags.

Admittedly we need a lot more work done on communication and control. But I'm seeing this become reality.

Allow me to introduce to you mutorrent, poor chap.

The article mentions hadoop which is an open source version of google's map-reduce template(I think you can call it). This is great and all but it is a fairly static mechanism and hardly the end-all of distributed computing. Shouldn't university students be working on the next generation?

Your comment makes no sense to me. I am from Holland and sure people with higher education mostly know 3 or 4 languages. But our country a a whole isn't that multi or even bilingual. Many people assume they know German because they are Dutch. They think they can translate a word to German by adding an umlaut to it. When they open their mouths it makes you cringe. Even English is very poor most of the time, I mean sure you can talk chrome-teeth-outback-state slang like ying yang, but you don't speak English.

Although I think my English is not bad, I'm sometimes embarrassed how much effort it takes met to string a full sentence together, even though every single textbook I own is in English. Speaking a different language is hard.

That was not feeding the troll. The worst thing you can do to a troll is giving them a totally calm and reasonable reply. It makes them either deflate, or explode and then the show it over.

Trust me, I've done some proper trolling in my life, I know what I'm talking about.

How did _they_ cure it? Every single human being born in the west gets the polio vaccin once maybe twice. And the vaccines are produced by pharmaceutical companies. That may not be a long treatment but they do get to sell it to everyone.

You don't think every company is dying (npi) too find the cure for cancer? That company would be on top. People will alway get cancer, there is no way to prevent it, and with people getting older and older more people will get cancer in their lifetime.

So please, spare me you inside job theories
