1) You could say that about pretty much any IM service that isn't p2p.
2) "Did Skype Give a Private Company Data on Teen WikiLeaks Supporter Without a Warrant?". It ends with a question mark and is an allegation. It doesn't have any actual evidence on such a thing happening.
3) Getting hacked/phished is no good either way, but you can't expect all the costs of that to be covered unless it's the provider's fault.
4) While I wouldn't be at all surprised (though I wouldn't approved either), that artice is also just an allegation of sorts. The anonymous sources claimed that Microsoft has a good history of working with law enforcement (which is true, they even have tools like Microsoft COFEE)
tl;dr it's about as bad as facebook or twitter or steam or whatever.
Ah, thank you. I saw that link some times ago, and though it could be interesting. I will admit I haven't really read much of the articles.
Richard Stallman is a paranoid freetard. Just look at this:*text*
Lol. Did you knew that he choose a shitty laptop, just because it had a free bios?

I don't think he uses a laptop for what many people here use them for, like photo editing, music making, and gaming. The majority of his time is spent programming or working on his website, and even then he barely uses a browser (he uses wget to fetch his email, I think.) With my old window manager, I was getting maxes of 500-700 mb of RAM use when browsing the internet and watching videos. Lot's of people like those old thinkpad t60s for their build quality and they only have 2gb at max on default models.

How so?
You have two options. Either swear normally (but not overdoing it), or don't swear at all. I don't know how to explain why censoring is stupid, so I won't.
Sonic 1 remake came out for iOS and Android today, it's awesome. Widescreen, HD, Tails, and Knuckles. It think it's awesome that these remakes are made by someone who originally made an engine based on the old Sonic games and was hired by SEGA to do it officially
I tried too, but it didn't even show it to me on the list when you lose. Also, if you didn't know, if you click "no this is not the right person" and when it asks you "Continue?" click "Yes" for more questions. Not-so-popular characters are guessed after 2 or more sets of questions. For some reason, it took 3 sets of question to guess Adele, the singer (yes I know she's popular but whatever).

but Sonic 1 didn't have Tails... Maybe it had Knuckles?
Does it have the 'spinball' attack?
On Topic: Pretty sure Doctor Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik was the main villain, never played Sonic though, so I may be wrong. BUUT, I've watched the cartoon when I was little.
It just feels weird adding characters that weren't in the game. Like a GTA Vice City remake with CJ. I mean... yeah they EXIST in that world... but not at that point.
Dr.Robotnik/Eggman was the villian forever and always will be, in Sonic 2, Tails was introduced, and in Sonic 3, Knuckles was bad and working for Robotnik until the end if I remember correctly.

Yeah the Genesis Sonic games were always really big on the story.
It's true. It was a competition. Fan's made a main character, they thought it looked cool but didn't use it. They made him the villian instead. Also yes Camewel, covered in DYKG. But also meh.
I guess it's just an opinion when it comes to continuity. I guess it doesn't effect plot since apart from 'This guy made cute animals into robots: kill him' there isn't one...
If I ever saw Robotnik as a character in something like MariO, I think he would either be Bowser just throwing out entities that are robots, or him being the playable character when he is in his flying trolling vehicle.
While it was Naoto Ohshima's design of Sonic the Hedgehog that won the internal competition for corporate mascot, it was only one of many designs he had come up with for Sega. One of the other designs that had been considered in the final deliberations, but was ultimately passed up on, was a roundish, mustached man in pajamas. Bearing a striking resemblance to the 26th President of the United States Theodore Roosevelt, Ohshima and the rest of the development team didn't want to discard the design, feeling there was still potential even if the character wasn't to be the star.
In the month April 1990, Sega petitioned its research and development department, AM8, to create a character who would replace Alex Kidd as the company's mascot, as well as compete against Nintendo's flagship character, Mario. A caricature of Theodore Roosevelt in pajamas was among the proposed designs. Combined with the idea of an egg-shaped character, it eventually became the basis of the visual design for Dr. Eggman
Does anyone know a really epic music/song that loops pretty good? I need it for my Monster.exe 2 Mappack. (Not that you would actually care. I can't find any good one.)
