Why anyone chooses to still believe in privatisation is beyond me.

Left 4 Dead 2 is now legal in Australia in its full, uncensored glory by anthro93 in Games

Sorry, should've clarified it's one of the ways they could have done it.

Also, automatic upgrade for anyone who has bought the game more than 3 years ago, because someone who is 15+ will be 18+ now.

They can do it with a 100% discount for L4D2 R18+ for L4D2 MA15+ owners.

This is a crappy piece of journalism. Two pages and it doesn't even tell you what it does other than 'make the web faster'. I want a description of the proposed spec, not hear about committee politics.

Mike Hearn is also the guy that is proposing to build blacklisting into Tor, as well as reduce the fungibility of Bitcoin with built in taint tracking and rejection.

Same here. I refuse to shop at any store that accepts crapcoins. These crapcoins simply devalue BTC without any additional utility of it's own.

No the Bitcoin are already bought and already increased the price. When you buy something, the merchant sells it for USD tanking the price.

There are true ints, but currently if only in an array. e.g.

var typedArray = new Uint8Array( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] );

1,2,3,4 is stored in binary form.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is suing Valve over its refund policy. by [deleted] in Games

Better than "refuse service to anyone who refunds any title" of Steam (chargebacks). I eventually got them to restore my account and keep the money refunded through settlement of a suit I filed in small claims court. (Back when you could sue them, instead of arbitration).

If I had 100 atoms of a substance with a 10-day half-life, how does the trend continue once I'm 30 days in, where there should be 12.5 atoms left. Does half-life even apply at this level? by efficiens in askscience

But can we experimentally test this by firing single photons continuously at a rapid rate, and testing to see if they pass through a thin sheet of metal?

If you're from Australia:

  1. File an compliant to the ACCC. Mention that your game is defective, supply error messages / screenshots. http://www.accc.gov.au/contact-us/contact-the-accc/consumer-complaint-form

  2. File a Steam Support ticket. https://support.steampowered.com Mention your ACCC complaint #, and cite Competition and Consumer Act 2010 and that your game is defective (again, supply error messages / screenshots).

  3. Refund back to payment method! It works.

Origin is doing 'no questions asked' refunds with an automated interface, and they've been fine? Keep in mind that only a small minority will abuse it, and they can always just refuse service to someone who refunds more than X% of titles they purchase.

I have filed a complaint with the ACCC over Steam refusing me a refund for a game that is so broken they deleted it from their store. Also submitted a new ticket citing my complaint #. Hope I'll get a refund this time.

Why wouldn't this work?

  1. Fire entangled photons into cat stencil to transmit 1.

  2. Fire entangled photons into dog stencil to transmit 0.
