If I read the article right, the "good" console will actually stream video from a different device. So, you'll have a computer or laptop in another room, and use the power of that box to power your little steam box.
Day 1 DLC is generally worked on in the months between going gold and certification. Would it be better for them to add an arbitrary delay so that the DLC, which is completed in time for day 1, is instead delivered on day 30 or 60?
Granted, this is generally the reason with Console games, but then again most day 1 DLC is for consoles (and their PC versions).
Or are we changing how we mesure it? How we define "autism"? Maybe it's because autism is more acceptable, and doesn't require someone to be locked in a basement until a group of 1980s teens decide that they need to find a treasure in order to save their housing development.
All kidding aside, I'd be interested to know how much the autism scale has changed over the years. I realize that highly functioning people with autism still count as having autism, but was that always the case?
This is why my phone's lockscreen has my email address on it. That way, if somebody wants to return my phone, they have a very easy way to do it (assuming they don't just take it to an AT&T store)
If it had been, people would have noticed significant slowdown. I'm afraid that people confuse "spotty service in dense areas" and "too much bandwidth being used". They don't realize that in a lot of cases, they wouldn't be able to use their phone to talk when they're running into data problems. AT&T has been capitalizing on this, and making quite the pretty penny.
I don't know why anyone wouldn't expect this out of them. It's basically free money, and it panders to an uneducated user base through letting them think that they'll save money, and that they'll still be able to blame others when there's a problem.
There's just so much wrong with this... it's amazing...
They're locking users out of game they have paid for
They're unable to move a set of servers without preventing downtime for customer facing attributes
They're completely oblivious to the reasons why these are bad things
It just leaves me completely flabbergasted. I can't imagine this entire process coming to this point without someone, somewhere in the decision process saying "Who gives a shit what they think? Just do whatever's cheapest right now"

FF11 will remove the UAC prompt on Windows, which will be a further improvement in 6 weeks from now.
Yes, because being a partisan hack search engine is a surefire way to increase your user base. Google is here to make money, not to decide that Ron Paul is too insane for consumption, or Truthers are too insane to be heard. In fact, I'm sure the latter brings in quite a lot of ad revenue.
This will never change until lobbying and donations on a corporate scale are either severely limited or outright made illegal and enforced with harsh punishment. However, since it would be Congress that would need to change those laws, it's never going to happen.

I remember NoScript, the other addon people install when they're trying to prevent large attack vectors, updating for very minor changes, and automatically loading their home page. Those loads translated to ad hits, which generated revenue. They eventually added an option for this, and I'm sure the people that cared enough turned it off.
However, I don't remember anything similar happening with AdBlock... Can you site a specific incident?
The worst and best video game news of the week, right here. Hopefully he comes out with another great franchise with some amazing mechanics that are just plain old fun.
The bond, Prop 1A from 2008, approved roughly $8.5 billion to begin the project, with a total budget of $33 billion to be used if the project could be shown to be able to run without subsidies from the government. The most recent estimates, which still show a ludicrously high number of riders (between 60 and 90 million per year) show that the budget will need to be $98, which is roughly triple the $33 billion original allocated for the project.
The project is in no way feasible for a state as deep into the red as California. The *only* logical explanation of why this is still going through is to allow those already riding the $8.5 billion gravy train to keep it going for another $90 billion.
Remember, YouTube has been going with the quantity over quality argument since its inception. No reason why $150 million tossed at a number of different, smaller projects wouldn't be better for the audience that YouTube already pulls in. While I'm excited for Netflix new series, I'm interested to see what YouTube can pull together. There is a good chance that I will at least find some of the things they put on their site amusing, which isn't that hard to repeat a few hundred million times, and would lead to repayment via advertising revenue, whereas Netflix is going to need to either bump prices, increase subscriptions, or cut back other purchases.
Am I the only person here thinking that at least part of the reason behind this is so that the GOP and/or the DNC can legally get away with robocalling voters?
No, you are not. In fact, I think that's the biggest reason behind this bill. The new generation doesn't have land lines, so in order to annoy the piss out of potential votes, they need to be able to call cell phones.
I think you're starting to get into the "Free as in freedom or free as in beer" territory. This is open as in "available to everyone", not open as in "open source".
Of course they're a security threat. However, I feel that the flaws that grant them access to they systems they get into are an even bigger security threat. Granted, they've done some pretty dickish things with the fruits of their endeavors, but nothing so horribly wrong that would make the surfacing of the attacks not worth the end result.
While I would prefer that they be a group of white hats informing the companies they break into of their ability to do so, I certainly prefer their gray hat, chaotic neutral mentality of "get in, get out, release a press release" over what others may do with the information they would be able to gain using the exact same tactics.

If it's a really large concern, Android supports OTG USB, so for a few dollars you can get a card reader and plug it into your device.

Because all of my commits include all the documentation I write, and are completely available to the public.

That actually missed FF11, and is slated for FF12.

What's the right thing to do? Keep email bombing them until someone takes you seriously.
What's the fastest thing to do? Leak info and POC to various news sites that cover start ups - like TechCrunch

It's time to sell all that stock you have in faux-turtleneck companies!
