This is ridiculous. Law is part of the agreement between citizens and their government. Citizens get certain benefits like public education and healthcare, and in return must pay the government taxes and obey their laws. If the citizen disagrees with this, he can resign his citizenship, but by doing so loses the benefits of citizenship as well.
Foreigners, on the other hand, have no such agreement, and therefore it's ridiculous to charge them. What's next, Saudi Arabia charges me for having a beer tonight? North Korea charges me for criticizing their regime? Should I serious have to look up every single country's law before I do something, just to make sure I'm not breaking some obscure country's law?
American government consists of a creative bunch of people. If they can find a reason to invade and carpet bomb a sovereign country, I'm sure they'll find a way to harass citizens of foreign country.
Having a button on either side is a horrible design. I could see accidentally pressing the far button with my ring finger or pinkie all of the time with that kind of configuration, not to mention not having the ease and natural feeling of movement of being able to roll my thumb across the two buttons.
I use my side buttons in many applications. In my browser, it's forward and back a page. In my audio and video players they are used to skip forward and backward 10 seconds. In my text/code editor, they are used for page up and page down. In games they are used for jump and crouch. Having one button on either side would be a usability nightmare.
You can always disable them or assign them to do nothing. It's a 2 minutes activity. My gripe with these kind of mice is that they advert the full number of buttons that they have on the mouse without mentioning that a couple of them are practically unusable.
My Ouroboros double clicks less than a year after it was bought. Apparently there are others like me, and this doesn't only happen to the Ouroboros, but also a couple of other models, such as the Naga. My Orochi and Chimaera on the other hands, are doing great:)
As much as I'd like my government to stop pissing away Trillions of dollars playing world police, if you feel they're basically the same I'd love it if ISIS moved into your neighborhood and you got your ignorant throat slit. Although I figure a pussy like you would convert quick and join the caliphate.
As opposed to what? Hellfire missiles from a Predator drone? A group of "freedom fighters" on your government's payroll?
Most of the USA does not agree with the American religious right, which is what you are referencing. Most of ISIS does not disagree with ISIS.
At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter, as most of the USA has apparently failed to prevent their government from ruining and invading other poeple's countries. So yeah, that's basically the same
Hey stupid. The legit uses have legal copies and will get updates.
Hey genius!
Those machines running broken illegal copies will get infected and become zombies. Who will get DDOSed by them? Those with legal copies, or services used by those legit users
The upgrades are being pushed through windows update and you need at least windows 7 in order to get it. unfortunately this rules out the 68 windows xp machines I still have running in house so looks like we will most likely still be running xp for the foreseeable future. At least until I win the mega millions and donate money to the company..
Since Microsoft will provide the upgrade to pirated copies, you can always put pirated win7 install on those boxes so they can get the upgrade via windows update
Troll. flamebait, or just plain stupid ? Gotta go with flamebait, to be followed with and endless stream of pavlovian programmed responses.
well, the parent did refer to islamic extremist as "mooslimmss". Why didn't you have the same response to his post? Troll. Flamebait, or just plain stupid? I think I'll go with "plain stupid" on you. Now, since I see no benefit on extending the use of my grey cells for the lots of you, this is good bye:)
I love it when people say Christians did things just as bad as the mooslims, and bring up the Crusades.
The Crusades were IN RESPONSE to the mooslimmss terrorizing the entire middle east, northern Africa
& southern Europe. The Crusades were a DEFENSIVE action.
Well, Bush Jr. considered their unjust war on the middle east a crusade, and he also considered it as a preemptive DEFENSIVE move. It seems that you guys has a history of using those terms loosely:)
My PC is faster than an Xbox One. See you in 7 years!
In seven years, You'll have at least upgrade the processor once, upgrade the ram once, and replace the graphic adapter twice, just to play the same games that Xbox One readily play out of the box, albeit in lower resolution and maybe half the frame rate. Pros and cons
Yea? My crappy racing wheel controller beats them for driving games, my not-so-crappy flight stick beats them for flying games. My keyboard and mouse beat them for most of the rest. What is left is fighting, sports, and platformers, which I don't play. If I played them I would get an arcade cabinet style controller for fighting, some basic gamepad for platformers, and still wouldn't play sports games.
Let me tell you a little secret. You can use racing wheel, flight stick, keyboard, and mouse on console too.
Also, my computer is upgradeabe, gets better graphics, ans also does other things besides running games.
Doesn't really matter when what's available on the market are console ports. You do have better graphic, I'll give you that
The best part is my computer need less updates than my consoles, which always require some updates whenever I switch them on.
Really? I always have to update steam each time I open it.
Musk is way better in this area. Most of Job's worshipers are those who buy apple products. One only need to read articles about Musk to become his worshiper
There were reasons which I cannot seem to remember right now. Fan noise maybe? But why dont cases blow air up?
Actually modern PC cases such as Bitfenix's Prodigy/Phenom, Fractal Design Define R, and specially made for air cooling Corsair Carbide Air provide vent and filter on top. You can install apair of large fans on them but most of the time, they are used for watercooling kit.
The X60 & X61's keyboards are also not equipped with TouchPad. Most of my colleagues hated it at first, since they're so used to it on their Dell's and HP's notebooks.
I think the headline was meant to point out that people are actually using azure...
The latest Gartner's Magic Quadrant actually shows that Microsoft is on distant second, right after Amazon on IAaS business. In fact, Azure and AWS are currently the only occupants of the leader quadrant
Than actual active members. I've had whatsapp installed on a phone for a couple years, and haven't used it in...well, a couple years. Am I in those statistics?
If you're on android, it costs USD1 a year to put whatsapp on your phone. Do you still pay for them? If no, it's unlikely that you're still counted as user
Exactly.
No SD Slot = leave it on the shelf.
No replaceable battery = keep it for yourself.
Furthermore: No OTG - Thanksalot.
There are a quite few very nice USB/OTG Sticks (by LG, Transcend and maybe others)
which are _SO_ useful - and that's why I'm never going to buy a phone made by Apple,
Samsung and others that have no idea how to make a cool phone for everyday usage!
only one more thing that would make me consider a purchase: WATERPROOF!
but this one is out of consideration anyway.
Samsung Galaxy S4.
Replaceable battery, MicroSD support, OTG support. If you want waterproof too, then the S5 has everything that S4 has, plus waterproofing. The bad news is it's bloody expensive
After having owned a Galaxy S3 for a year, I'm ready for the return of smaller phones. I've been waiting for prices to come down on used GS4 Minis. However, if they released a OnePlus with a 4" screen, I'd order it immediately.
A phone configured specifically for CyanogenMod is a killer feature in my book. My next phone will have to be much smaller, lighter, and thinner than 5.5" unfortunately. Any suggestions?
If you want a flagship phone then Sony Xperia Z1 Compact will probably suit you

a 4ish inc phone with Snapdragon 800
Slashdot Mirror
So, tell me which processor should they use for the laptop to be considered bleeding edge?
Gentoo Linux had more bugs than IE in 2014, 350 to 289 so not even close.
You're comparing an operating system distro to a browser. You do realize that don't you? For a better comparison try Firefox vs IE: 171 vs 289.
In fact as of March this year both Apple and Linux have more bugs than Windows, again by pretty large amounts. For those wanting the figures and don't want to read TFL? OSX is the worst at 147 followed by iOS at 127, Linux at 119, and Windows, which the Linux faithful are always screaming is "full of bugs"? A grand total of...38.
RHEL from 2002 to Q1: 2015: 286, Ubuntu latest LTS: 66, Debian: 214. Compare those to Windows 2008 from 2007-2015: 524, or Windows 2012 from 2012 to Q1 2015: 133, and of course Windows 8.1: 82

S5 waterproofing isn't all it's cracked up to be.
It didn't make it to the S6....(although there will presumably be an S6 active that is)
Sony Xperia Z series perhaps? Or how about Pentax WG-3 GPS ?
So your saying that despite the fact that Google already provides an open source version of their OS
They don't have an open source version of their OS. That is, the open source version is limited, and missing a lot of functionality.
Then add them! Amazon seems to be doing just fine with Fire OS
With no native ssh server.
In Windows, instead of connecting to a server with SSH, you connect to a service with PowerShell.
