Without the full info hash, they can probably keep lawyers away. Unlike BTDigg. You are one step away from the hash anyway, there are other online and offline databases.

a) This is not hard evidence, even though it is mostly correct. b) ISPs do not need to rely on some random server on the other side of the world watching a tiny amount of requests, they see the user traffic directly. c) ISPs do not have the

It depends on applications and users (home, mobile, corporate). Some anecdotal evidence suggests that 2/3rds of user pairs can't connect without a relay server with all the tricks deployed (NAT traversal, IPv6 when available, clie

This is a repost of a repost (of another repost in certain cases). JPEG resizing and quality strongly suggests it for some images. You can visit the (linked but not annotated) blog post to get to the original sources. https://web

Things that need to be taught need to be taught. Reading, writing, and counting can also be kept for later. Misanthropic heralds could even say that many strata of modern society don't really need literacy, and should just be given sma

International politics are fake. There is a gentleman's agreement that secret services can kill “traitors” and “enemies” anywhere as long as no one objects (or the objecting country is not important enough anyway). The hirelings get th

Some people use My Little Pony characters as avatars, some use history books characters and propaganda poster characters. It means nothing in itself, people rarely stick to what they preach. If you think that dumb nostalgia about “good old

You look like you are completely unaware of the wave of big and small early nineties games that used flat shaded 3D renders for art, sprites, and full motion video segments. Unlike fully textured polygons, they could be rasterised quickly o

Step 0 is missing: having a great taste. One look at the video example is enough to figure out that the author keeps things in balance and in style. Explanations of why pixel grid mismatch looks wrong, or why mismatch between texture densit

There is a dozen of existing Quake ports ready to run the moment you feed them the game files, and you recommend a version re-implemented on top of Xash3D, which is a GoldSrc-compatible engine. Why?

Next step is implementing 2D sprite engine. Then 3d sprite engine. Then OpenGL commands. Then getting Crysis to run on the IBM PC.

Laws do nothing without people who believe in them (just like they believe any other idol), or profit from them, or make an excuse that they are getting paid to enforce them, therefore “it is OK”. People should be pre-conditioned to lose th

People always retroactively justify anything they see as convenient and uncontroversial, stick to “everyone's opinion” (which does not exist, and is the product of their own projections). One needs education to explain that, for exampl

Disapproval is only the first step. After that you can start looking the other way in certain cases. Not always in exchange for the money, just for public reverence and praise, i. e. the symbols of power.

You seem to suppose that those businesses are really independent, only focus on goals they advertise, and exist in a vacuum. I can't even imagine how many “services” they offer to governments to keep their market shares. The non-govern

It is a typical solution from the 90s, first steps of interactivity after hand-written HTML pages served by Apache. POST request is handled by some Perl script that rewrites the HTML page, then redirects to it or directly sends it as a repl

The moral of the story seems to be missing. This kind of visualisation is an arbitrary artistic choice, not just a function of inputs. A can of spray paint is a tool that needs to be mastered, and it's different from, say, oil paints a
