    But it is an offline game. There's no interaction.

    allah. It's a word that means God, usually referencing the Abrahamic God from Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

    Your sarcasm is pretty shallow. Never flown? Taken a long trip? Been in a large building? Those are the times you'd be bored enough to play this I'm sure, and those are likely times you will have no internet.

    You do realize that's just a word, and is used in reference to the Christian god, etc. There's more than one language on earth.

    I don't play it any more, but even Pokémon GO worked fine for all of us. People tend to want to play games on a plane, or on a subway, or on long car trips (might be miles between data towers, gaps, etc).

  6. It's a free app, but it has an in-app purchase. You should never rate a game based on what you can get for in-app purchases.

    I will never pay for any of these while the always-on internet setting remains. I've already had it tell me no because I was in a day room with bad Wi-Fi and my 3G was blocked by the building. Granted, I'm in the middle east, but even here I usually have some connection and the one time I was bored and wanted to play for a few minutes it blocked me. If I were on the 12 hour flight I'd be blocked too. Just no.

  8. That's really interesting. I'd love to hear more.

    True, but I think the implied point is that once that exploit is discovered, then they have access to all software that uses it automatically. If people wrote their own, the flaws would have to be individually discovered. I'm not convinced on which is better.

    They can upload it, because they're making the copy, but then say "no further copying is allowed" at that point. Then each additional copy is in violation of their rights. I guess.

    Also the highest functioning of us can lead better than average lives. It tends to contribute to intelligence levels, though social interaction is more of a challenge. My daughter and I seem quite capable of overcoming everything and are quite fulfilled. Though, the difference is Pervasive Developmental Disorder can be higher functioning than Asperger's even. Training for eye contact and many other things isn't too bad. Only big difference is emotional attachments are kind of juvenile. When my brain picks someone as a friend I just want to spend all my time with them and would do almost anything for them. You have to learn some skepticism to avoid having that backfire. Asperger's also seems to be a bit lacking empathy, but my daughter and I seem to have a fair amount. The spectrum is quite broad!

    It depends on what you consider truthfulness. I consider integrity far more important. Clinton lies by using things that are true to back her up. Most of her lies were that she holds the views and positions that she claimed during her fight with Sanders, and then was somewhat stuck with them after she lost the popular vote, but beat Bernie with the superdelegates.

  15. Yep, I got a plasma in 2009, a bit late for the technology, but it was still superior in a lot of ways to the next best LCD at that point. I just replaced it with a 4k LED LCD.

    When I get home from my deployment I'll have a Samsung 960 EVO to put my OS on, so I'll probably need a new license anyway. I'll pick up Enterprise at that point and give it a shot.

    They do by default, but as everyone already knows, Enterprise can turn off telemetry.

  19. This is all a push to get people on the subscription model. Windows 10 Enterprise can disable it, and costs $7 a month. This is what Microsoft has been working toward for quite a while, and did it already with Office 365. If you want to continue to use Windows, they either make their money off your data, or a subscription fee. It's really that simple.

  20. Considering it owes its existence to spreading its news, sure.

  21. Don't worry. They'll just store it all in "the cloud" and it'll last forever.
