I installed Windows 8 from the oem disk (In MS' packaging) I received when I bought the hardware. It failed the 8.1 update with only a hex code.
It took a month of googling to find the solution (and it was so obscure I've forgotten it now... either a registry change and/or modifying disk/partition flags)
If a fresh install from ms's own packaging could go so badly I'm not surprised so many people are having issues. Thankfully Update 1 installed without issue.
Not always...
It is my understanding that many games simply use Steam as a handy distrubution mechanism. There is nothing to say they must incorporate DRM. I'm pretty sure The Binding of Isaac is a good example...
I'm disappointed... I came here expecting to read more of this "parody"...
You really were trying to suggest Google's behind it though weren't you. Ugh.
Microsoft sold you Windows (the monopoly?) and forced IE on you.
Google (or whoever) is selling you an Android phone and then letting you use Google Search (the monopoly?)
I don't see how you can compare the two? Even if you still think its unfair, then ah well lets just push an OTA with a "what search engine do you want?" and be done with it. Oh wait... my android already gave me that choice...
I'm from the UK and have had two small Huawei adsl modems delivered to me by isps.
BOTH included a little piece of paper with details of the gpl & where to get the source. Never followed up on it, but at least that slip was there which made me smile.
I can fully understand people not wanting to upgrade to Windows 7 due to hardware/driver constraints or program compatibility...but if neither of these things are problems, I say why not? Windows 7 is much more user friendly and easier to navigate (not to mention much more stable and secure, in my experience.)
I'm not from the US, but I have several old tv's that don't even have a scart port. If his are similarly old, then yes, useless.
Unless I want to watch old vhs or play an old console I guess...
People who work in factories are mostly drones or technicians at best (with an occasional engineer to...
I don't think you wrote what you meant. Let me edit it for you:
"Engineers don't work in factories, except for when they do. Thankyou very much for your input to the discussion, here ends my respectful reply."
Nope, it is a user specific setting. It was enabled for you because of you retaining your/home.
Generally... any setting you can change without putting your password into a sudo/gksudo prompt is a setting stored in your/home. Note the difference between "preferences" & "administration".
I'll give a brownie point to anyone that can tell me how to indefinitely turn off indexing on vista first time though... nevermind which is the best way.

Can you not buy "sim-only" plans in the US?
