I had to scroll quite a long way to find a reasonable post on the matter. This is a specific implementation, not overly vague, and is exactly what the patent system was designed for.
On the bright side, Ultraviolet is the new standard in digital copies, and it's fairly open to multiple studios. Not that I want my media in a DRM'ed file, but it's better than what Sony would do by itself.
What's your point? Computer monitors do 1080p, not 1080i and you were saying the industry was standardizing on HD buzzword compliance. Blu-Ray goes up to 1080p and works on HD TV's. Why are you bringing ATSC broadcast standards into this?
Well there's nothing out there that's identical to the Surface. But if you're going to pick a device to compare to, it beats comparing to an iPad - with no full desktop OS.
If you're the type to host a Tor node, you're likely paranoid to be doing just that anyway. If I left a backup drive with my parents, they won't likely be breaking down their door or even showing up with a warrant.
And when I pointed out how it didn't solve their problem, you told me what you decided the point was. I disagreed. You completely misunderstood my disagreement. I'm not seeing where I am trying to ban anything or say that your comment was without merit - just off-topic.
Yes, but if you want an enemy to KNOW something, you don't just publicly announce the information. Too suspicious. Just make sure their spies get a leak of the information or figure it out for themselves.
Which is kind of odd. I've never used that screen. I only go to Google News to search for news I already know about. And then the snippets help me decide which article I want to read on the subject. Just because someone can be aware of relevant news by glancing at the news home page doesn't really mean anything of value was lost. Even if something of value was gained by the reader.
Just because they aren't doing it out of pure altruism doesn't mean you have to write a law banning doing it - and blocking altruistic versions as a result.
But they're "losing" money from people who would have never been a reader in the first place. No money is made from a person reading the headline, and the headline or idea of the headline is just as likely to spread by word of mouth or by Twitter. And word of mouth won't even have a link to the full article.
And they would still have to download the cracked games. I'm with them. Why buy something you're not sure you can keep? I always try to ensure the future use of my purchases.
All that effort to write a detailed letter, and the customer service agent is just going to select a reply from a drop-down list and hit send. And NO ONE else will see it. Too bad customer service means nothing these days.
That just tells you what the markup is. The real costs are quite cheap. Just look at how little it costs to replace the digitizer on an iPhone with non-OEM parts off eBay. Sure, it's a bigger screen, but it's really a cheap thing.
Some of the blame rests with OEMs on this. The entire OS is only really usable with a touch screen. Very few makers are including touch these days, except on tablets or on the very high end. Screen digitizers have never been cheaper, so why leave it out?

length/surface area for an antenna comes in a very small package these days. Your cell phone likely no longer has a pull-out extendable antenna.
different "trick"?

That poor Conucisus guy. Always getting misquoted and his name spelled wrong.
you mean 1080p. Computers haven't had interlaced displays since forever ago.

Scientific fact? What's that? I thought the highest honor for an idea in science is to be called a theory.
Or with the Macbook air, which is the same price and has better battery life.
Traditional backup methods are good against media failure, or even natural disaster, but ineffective against seizure
Off-site backup is part of that.
Novelty.

Yes - and it doesn't seem to answer the point of this post: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3284181&cid=42137837

Did you even read the comment you replied to above? That's clearly not what they were talking about at all.

I thought Google was the one that went *crawliing*
Tee-hee.

Not entirely true. Restaurant POS systems already are giant touch screens running Windows.
