  1. Re:C-11 and DMCA forbid it on Microsoft Mistakenly Sold Fallout 4 For Free On Xbox (polygon.com) · · Score: 1

    That's what I said, a normal person, not a sheep. And I bet a lot of Americans are not sheep.

  2. Re:I don't use Facebook mobile on Facebook Threatens To Delete Users' Photos If They Don't Install Moments app (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Really? And how do you dial? Whistle in the microphone? The phone dialer is an app, you know. And, lo and behold, it has access to your contacts, sms, call history.

  3. Re: Microsoft, like their Microsoft NBC... on Microsoft Mistakenly Sold Fallout 4 For Free On Xbox (polygon.com) · · Score: 1

    Eventually, the physical media will disappear and everything will be licensed and you'll lose access to the content that you paid for when you change vendors.

    Only if you're stupid enough to keep the items in the seller's library (cloud, account, whatever).
    A normal person will download the movies/song/book, deDRM it and keep his copy in a convenient location. You know, NOT in the cloud?

  4. What compiler MS used for Windows 10.
    'We did not add any telemetry in Windows 10. It was the compiler, I tell you.'

  5. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

    You, as an individual, are still considered innocent. Your assets, well, that's another story,

    For now. Later you will be opted-in by default. For your convenience, of course. But don't worry, you'll be able to opt-out quite easy: just provide Google with your real name, address, SSN (or equivalent), account number and such so they can verify it is really you and you'll be taken off the list. Until the next update when they'll 'accidentally' opt you in again.

  7. of Nexus 5 phones running linux on the desktop?

  8. Google play the new Windows 10? on Google's Nearby Feature Recommends Apps and Websites Based On Your Location (googleblog.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So now we have to block any kind of updates to Google play services or downgrade to Android 4.3 or lower.

  9. On Linux, the browser will open the torrent client and the downloaded .torrent file is fed to it as data.

    Newsflash! It's the same on windows.

  10. Re:That's just too damn bad. on Weary Homeowners Wage War On Waze · · Score: 1

    Reported by Waze means the user who reported it didn't have enough mojo (or whatever waze calls it) to have his handle appear.

  11. Except closing the window is taken as hitting "OK" regardless of how you close it. Did you miss the previous article that talked about how this very X button was being interpreted by the Win10 upgrader as the user accepting? The only thing M$ has done now is removed the ambiguity and made it so there is no obvious route of declining at that point. Closing the window accepts the upgrade, regardless of exactly how the user closed it. Its more of an informative popup than a query, the installer has no intention of taking your input into consideration as it has already decided to install Windows 10 and now its just letting you know you're fucked.

    Shirley you don't epect us to RTFA. It's Friday and we're having some jolly time bashing MS waiting for the pint o'clock.

  12. Nope, it's more like "I'm altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further."

  13. Re:Hardly suprising on Nearly 1 In 4 People Abandon Mobile Apps After Only One Use (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Forgive him, he's from US. You know, the country where people are charged for everything up to the maximum ammount they can bear. Then charged some more if they want NOT to be charged. It's all for they convenience, you know :P

  14. Re:Slashdot, no. Bad Slashdot. on Microsoft Will Stop Spamming Android Users With Office Ads In The Notification Tray (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Because Microsoft? Just saying.

  15. Why wonder? on Mugger Arrested After Victim Spots Him On Facebook's 'People You May Know' (bgr.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ...the victim of said car robbery was recently shocked to see Famuyide's face pop up as a suggested friend he might want to add on Facebook
    Why would the victim be shocked? They shared the same car so they must be friends, right?

    You mean something like Self-destructing Cookies?

  17. I'd said it is illegal to say buy instead of license, yes.

  18. You may want to check your facts first. A company is an entity which doesn't disappears when sold. The owner(s) of the company might change but the company still remains, so the license is still valid for the said company.

  19. No. It is you who decide to aquire a license vs. buying it. You can always tell the corporation to fuck off and chose the printed version/CD.

  20. Because you didn't buy it. Read again the fine print: the ebook/song is licensed to you. The CD is sold, the e-thingie is licensed.

  21. So you don't do skype, whatsapp and don't browse the web on your Android device, right? And you must have also removed the Google Play services.

  22. Hmm, let's see: in order to log in you must:
    1. enable location tracking
    2. type a certain phrase taking care not to deviate from the previous n times
    3, dance a jigga, using the same moves you used the previous n times
    What on Earth could go wrong?

    Why? The crew is not carried along with the passengers? They don't eat, drink, use electricity?
    It's like not considering the driver when you talk about cars but only the passengers.

    The fucking article, that you obviously didn't read, say the ship left with 6,780 passengers.

    And with 2100 crew, makit the total of 8880 people.

    You may be right, but in order to be convicted you must first loose. Only the looser gets to be punished, the victor is always right.
