I don't know about US, but if I want to transfer money from my bank account to a friends, it costs me about $1-2 unless we have the same bank. And it takes a business day.
You can press win+left or win+right to move+resize your window to half the screen. I can't remember how you do with mouse, and the mouse equivalent doesn't work on multiple screens afaik.
the huge appeal of BitCoin is the ability to treat it like anonymous cash
That's not how I see it. To me, the appeal is that it's not centralized, so nobody can decide for me that I can't support Assange. And if I don't agree with my bitcoin exchange, I can just use another. I can avoid monopolies like Visa/Mastercard
Because Anonynous are not the only ones able to access the data. If someone else used this security hole, they might not have said anything, or they could have released the whole database.
The bot evolved from the older RussKill bot over time, and various versions of the tool's binary code and back end configuration files have been made public.
What does that mean? Was some of the code stored in another numeral system? And why was the code so hard to get hold of?
Just because the product is not in the shops by tomorrow doesn't mean it's sensationalism. What we have just witnessed is science. What follows is a lot of optimizations, experiments, cost/benefit analyses, prototyping etc, aka engineering. It is a breakthrough because the engineers have gotten a a new tool in their toolbox. It is not sensationalism because there are not a extravagant claims.
I find myself avoiding the Metro apps and instead living on the desktop.
So do I. I don't see anyone saying you are supposed to spend your whole day in metro. That's why the desktop is still there. But you don't lose anything by having the option of running a metro app. Why shouldn't you be able to run an app, originally written for a smartphone, on your desktop? the app may not have the ideal interface for mouse+keyboard, but it's better than no app at all.
Isn't that how the iPhone does it? Why is it retarded on one platform, but not on the other? Isn't the other way even more retarded? You start the computer, and instead of choosing the program you want to start, you press a key and then choose your program. And even when you press the button, only the corner of the screen is used (even to the extent of using ellipses).
This is what I don't get. The start menu has never been multi-task friendly (it disappears when it loses focus). So why is it so terrible that it's now fullscreen? As far as I have tried, it doesn't affect my workflow negatively. To start a new program: press winbutton, type the first few letters, press enter. Exactly the same on 7 and 8.
Can we stop calling them "Computer" games when what we really mean is Windows game? Linux constantly gets a pass in the popular press using generic terms when the entertainment is very specific to the Windows platform. Yes, other OSs get games but it is a drop in the bucket to the ocean of what is seen on Windows and it is disingenuous to mislead laypeople otherwise.
And don't worry, if Ubisoft ever makes a game available on linux, this is what you'd see: [sudo] password for AC:

You can get much lower fees than standard account->account fees.
It's called "follow-up on your stories". We're sorry if you don't want to read about it, next time you might try not clicking the link.
Take a bike to the next-nearest store every few days. Nobody said you'd have to camp in the exact center of Yellowstone.

They don't have to conceal their enjoyment. They just have to flag the "good" stuff.
What do you mean by "not upgraded"? No patches at all, or just no paid upgrades?
And what programs are you running that can't run on XP any more?

Does it spoof the IP? Wouldn't ISPs spot IP packets originating in their own network, but not looking like they did?
Yeah, OK. But why was it so hard to get hold of? Couldn't they just pull it from any infected machine?

faster on same hardware != uses less resources.

I agree. But that is not the idea on Windows 8.

The ones who say "I'm only on Windows for the games".

A order of magnitude larger than the Ford one.
