No, that would entail denying and not fixing nor releasing patches. But, Apple do that, you zealous troll.
Why deny something nobody is talking about? And it's not like the security team was going to reveal all of the latest 0 days, they would be talking about stuff like how they learn about 0 days, and their reaction time to exploits, their methods of implementing different patches, policies, priorities, etc;.
Dealing with the matter in the courts, or through cancelling the service, would make far more sense.
Dealing through the courts: No, that would not make sense. Lawyers cost money. The idea is to not spend more money. Being charged for received messages (plus a 'spam tax') is not just unpleasant. It costs money.
And canceling the service (wrt the cases in question) would often mean canceling all cellphone service. In many parts of Canada, there is only one available telecom and no alternatives. The telecom industry here is made of just a few lethargic behemoths, and there's only a semblance of competition in the higher population density regions. No disrespect intended, but do you understand why people are feeling frustrated here?
you're half right, but it was hidden content in the sense that it was inaccessible, at least without the patch or some memory hacking. It was there, the mini game was there and the skins were there. It wasn't even an Easter Egg. But it was still there in the game. All that the patch did was 'unlock' it.
The puzzles in Metroid prime 3 where so weak. Puzzles in Metroid Prime were okay; on the same level as puzzles in most of the gradn theft auto series.
Game developers seem content to pick a set of gameplay rules, and then not apply them creatively. Puzzles don't even have to directly be related to gameplay, they could be word puzzles or riddles, like in the old Carmen Sandiego games or the point and click "Curse of Monkey Island" style games.
Exactly. 'No government regulation' != 'social net neutrality'
Although, his wording is off. He's basically just saying that it's the ISPs that shouldn't be regulated, not the Internet. The Internet is an entity separate from the ISPs.
Only post what you want others to see, encrypt things that you want a particular group of people to see. Private data? Don't post it at all.
For a cloud-computer based netbook or webtop or whatever you want to call them; if you have lots of private data, get an unmountable external usb harddrive.
I couldn't find a particular date when any of this might be implemented, so it's still up in the air. If they are serious about this, however, they're probably expecting there to be big confrontations between themselves and the companies.
If you read TFA closely to the end, you'll see that somehow two connected computers constitutes a "particular machine", where one does not. This doesn't make any sense, and is going to result in an arbitrary selection of which patents are valid and which aren't
That doesn't sound very particular
If anything, I'd think a particular machine would be defined by whether it's able to work independent from it's parts. Oh wait, fuck, then we'd have to figure what constitutes 'works', and 'parts', wouldn't we? But you get my meaning anyways, right?
Regardless, if patents are worth it to manufacturers, we might see a more hardware-centric business model.
They make some pretty serious allegations in this blog. Including possible murder cover-ups and tolerance of rampant sexual harassment directed at females in the police force.
I'm not sure I really believe everything I'm reading here, but if much of it is true, then I can see why the MPD would want to shut them up.
No, it's because they're very expensive and for most people do not deliver benefits even remotely close to justifying it.
Emerging technologies are always a little extra expensive, except when their monetary cheapness is their main feature. Just saying that it's expensive alone isn't a good enough reason.
From the article, they just seem to be talking about improved features from the first game that everyone* didn't really care about. I'm with you on this.

the Craigslist ad did imply S&M, after all.
Linux distros are a huge pissing contest...
This is the reason why I consider your argument misinformed.

So I'll just say "Bravo"!

Will it have online play?

There's no runner-up prize. It shouldn't matter what software you use.
The poster on the Ubuntu forums seems to think that this is a case of deliberate sabotage.
Are you referencing a bash.org quote?
This must be what happens when we don't develop a new /. meme once in a while.
I'm not sure Pic's would be good proof with things like Photoshop and Gimp these days.
Hey! Shutup! My online romance life depends on this!
What was his source? He doesn't claim to have seen them himself, or anything according to TFA.
At first I read that as Aperture Motors, and immediately thought: 'Sweet, car mounted portal guns!'
Now I know all of your have your 3D glasses from 1985...
I was born in late 1986, you insensitive clod!

And even then, not too much more expensive: Last year or This year
How is much different from Zenwalk, or a perma-install of Slax or Wolvix, then? I can't find any good comparison for the three

*Or at least, everyone I know that played fable.
It's because you were aged based on your upgrades, but to be a decent mage-type character, you'd need a lot more cheap upgrades than otherwise.
