Why not just buy two-three gamepads with different layouts? Surely that would be cheaper and easier!

I didn't expect it to be a spambot per se, but I did expect it to be some sort of automated scraping of the site. Because "human posts semi-random words" is more or less trivial, but "human teaches neural net to perform

Steam doesn't properly support sharing games still. You can share your entire library and if you aren't playing anything at all, your friend can play a game from your library. Which you could do already, you just had to give your

Do you have a citation for the cases where Apple has successfully argued used this in court against some other party who was pirating OSX? It's only "nifty" until it's put to the test and fails in court. It's &quot

Oh, the malware! What do they do about users who do not turn on Javascript? Or users who do not use the popular browsers? It seems like the malware authors here, government employees or contractors, are just like all the others that form th

Keep in mind that this was a known and fixed vulnerability, not an 0day. 'Burning' is a bit misleading in this context.
