This is pretty bizarre:
http://www.computera...odes-on-pirate-bay/#'Why fight piracy?' Anodyne dev offers free codes on Pirate Bay
Indie dev posts on torrent search website to raise awareness for Steam Greenlight project
Indie games developer Sean Hogan has offered free copies of Anodyne to those attempting to download the game through a Pirate Bay listings page.
After the 2D top-down adventure was posted on the Pirate Bay, Hogan issued a message within the comments section, asking users to vote for the game on Steam Greenlight if they enjoyed it.
"Hi, I'm one of the two guys who made Anodyne," Sean Wrote.
"It's neat that Anodyne's here and I'm glad that means more people can play it, though of course we'd love it if you bought the game. We're trying to get Greenlit [sic] on Steam so we'd really appreciate it if you and your friends gave us an up-vote".
I wish I had a dollar for every time my software were pirated... I'd buy a new house then another house just because I could.

I don't think I would want anything to do with 'kim dotcom'.

Now, that's pretty broad, but it can be anything in technology from software, to hardware to basic physics underlying a cool technology (say why there).-Renegade (January 13, 2013, 07:54 AM)
Looking for suggestion for a new flat screen monitor for a friend with macular degeneration. She needs the everything to be as big as it can be PLUS a black background with white lettering works the best for her. She also would like to have a mouse pointer that is BIG and black in color.
I am thinking that someone here has dealt with this problem before and could give me a few hints. Maybe a bigger screen isn't better or an LED screen would be the answer. Or would a better video card help?
I originally posted on the forum here with a similar question
thanks,

"Our allies in the House and Senate?" This sounds like they are at war - they have allies in the US Government.
If it is a war, then who is the enemy? The US Government?

By the way, in case anyone is interested, the voice is Jack Wagner, an announcer famous for being the "Voice of Disneyland" and the recording is available in much better quality, here on archive.org-app103 (February 02, 2013, 08:31 PM)

I've tried three different players and cant get that to play (Trout/WMP/VLC). Tried downloading in a different browser too in case.
It's only 157kb, could that be correct? (Edit/ yes seems to be correct)-tomos (February 01, 2013, 04:34 AM)

Eew. If they're in that bad of a shape that someone feels the need to remotely monitor all that, then Give Someone a "Jerb" (HomeStarRunner) and hire an Assistant Home Health Care Aide to live in the house. Because someone who needs to be monitored if they left the house needs someone to wipe up the spilled cereal that will sit there for weeks because the Schmancy monitoring system doesn't have a setting for "cat puke" after the cat decided to scavenge it.-TaoPhoenix (January 30, 2013, 09:52 AM)
I get where you're coming from but I think there is plenty of room between the extremes for this type of solution. Remember just because the folks aren't that agile anymore - Help I've Fallen... - Doesn't mean that they're automatically daffy as well.-Stoic Joker (January 30, 2013, 03:27 PM)
This is an ideal solution for the folks that need help standing up to use the restroom that are still sensible enough to drive an assistant into medical leave on suspicion of mental instability.
These are people who still know what they need to do, just they are physically incapable of reliably doing it by themselves. The device would let them call someone when they need assistance, but spares the expense and stress of having assistants on site 24/7.-SeraphimLabs (January 30, 2013, 03:44 PM)

Crappy category or crappy design? Interesting question.-Renegade (January 30, 2013, 06:54 AM)
I actually welcome fools like him and decisions like his for two reasons:
First - it's so totally and obviously removed from reality (and the technology underneath) that it brings into question the entire role of government in regulating things like this. Making a 'decision' like this is the perfect "Now I've got you, ya sonavabitch!" opportunity to start people yelling and pushing for change. Once that starts it's only a matter of time before a few elected types read the writing on the wall and break rank with the "paid-for" politicos. Most politicians, being constitutionally gutless and blatantly self-serving, soon cave - and then - the ball starts rolling.
Second: Sweetheart deals need darkness. Once you turn the lights on cockroaches they tend to scurry. So too with legislation and 'executive directives' that depend on public ignorance or indifference to be allowed to continue. So the more ridiculous, unfair and stupid a decision is, the more likely it is to engender public outrage and bring about its reversal.
...
Yup! I looooove it when those in power start to think they can do whatever they want and then make the mistake of pushing it too far...-40hz (January 28, 2013, 01:09 PM)
