I agree with everything you said except for your last statement. Microsoft has stated multiple times the 8.1 upgrade is free for everyone with windows 8.
There really is not a lot that is different. As far as UI changes go, on the desktop, there is a button to bring you to the metro interface (that they call a "start button"). Also, the metro interface has a way to browse all applications now. Those are the only noticeable UI changes I've seen.
Under the hood, they've added a 3D printing driver interface.
So, really, there is not much to worry about and the available preview version should be adequate for testing. I still wish we could test on the final version however.
Zynga never actually stole all of the assets and represented it as their own. Even they are smart enough to know how dumb of an idea that is. Zynga will consistently steal the ideas for games however, which while still despicable, is much more legal. They've still had to settle with people despite walking that tightrope - but they have been able to afford to do so.
I have to agree. Stealing the source to sell the game on Steam? In what world does anyone think that they could get away with that? Even major corporations aren't that stupid. It's literally the dumbest idea I've ever heard. When a thief steals something that isn't money, they have to sell it "underground" or just keep it for their own personal treasure. They don't sell it in an auction or through an ad in the paper because it would be obvious they stole it and the stolen goods would be returned, and the thief would gain nothing. How would the thief in this case think that they would never get caught? Change the color of some textures?
Fucking asinine.
Seriously Verizon, $120+ for a basic data/voice plan?
I'm on Verizon and I pay $100 a month for grandfathered unlimited data and a subsidized phone. I have enough minutes that I don't bother keeping track. I find it reasonable.
It's very possible that it may be illegal for PayPal to pay this kid. If so, it would likely be from a law designed to prevent under-age overseas sweat-shops. I'm surprised a lot of people are not considering this possibility.
You're missing the point. The police tastered this person because she did something perfectly legal, which is to say, buy iPhones. She may or may not have had an intent to later export them, which would be illegal-- but this is no excuse for their actions.
They tasered her because she was trespassing. The store told her to leave. She didn't and got confrontational and combative. Because of this the situation was escalated such that force was required to remove her.
I was using nVidia blobs prior to that on a 3 year "fuck windows" hiatus. Don't recall any crashes from video then either. If I had any it was from me or something else. Still, I wish they would fix this issue sooner rather than later (although it may require some changes out of their scope for the moment).
The problem that jcreus had was that it was a dual-graphics option. The CPU had onboard graphics support that the laptop used by default, but also had an nVidia GPU that could be enabled. Getting the nVidia GPU to work was the issue. I have a Sandy Bridge laptop with a nVidia GPU - a similar position - but I haven't tried using linux only on it. Instead I have multiple linux VMs. So, the issue, is really getting both the intel graphics and the nVidia graphics to play nice together in linux.
The only time I ever used Mega services was for legitimate files. If I ever wanted anything illegitimate I'd search for a torrent. People forget a VERY common use case:
I need to post large content on the internet for download by a lot of people, and I don't want to use my own hosting bandwidth.
Wallpaper pack? Recordings from class? Video of a friend's concert? The list goes on...
I agree. By thinking about installation when creating complex enterprise software, you end up making better quality software. When you're forced to handle the inter-dependencies of complex systems in an installation process, you end up having a better handle on how everything interacts. This has been my experience at least.
The US classifies any rocket with a guiding system (complex or not) a ballistic missile, regardless of whether it has anything other than rocket fuel and guidance. I'm not sure if they would classify unguided rockets with explosive payloads as ballistic missiles, but I would presume so. So, really, to not answer your question, I don't know.

Due to the abundance of 32bit only tablets, I don't think they are going to go down this route.
It's extracting dissolved oxygen not splitting molecules.
Indeed. iPads are toys comparably.

We're hiring competent developers. So is the rest of Tampa, FL. Every IT event around here is 75% recruiters. There's no shortage in this area.
American Indian is the PC term in the US from my understanding.

Don't forget this is also about a US company paying an entity OVERSEAS money for work done. The fact the kid is overseas makes this very complicated.
Got an ODROID also?
Wish I could still mod this as troll...
That wouldn't exist otherwise because.......?
If nVidia didn't already have the de-facto standard for professional 3D graphics, they sure do now.

My rates went down, and my deductible went down slightly. They even included a pamphlet highlighting the changes and why it's thanks to "Obamacare".
It seems more and more each day that he really was the glue that held the vision together.
