Ben,
When you're generally designing enclosures for your hacked consoles, do you tend to start with an overall design first, or do you start designing around the mainboards and then attempt to make things look nice later in the design process?
Actually, "its" is possessive, while "it's" is a contraction for "it is." Its one of those ridiculous English quirks, that I have to say in my head occasionally to ensure I've got it correct. See Wikipedia.
It's more than them not being evil. Their original stance is exactly the same as most ISPs: no servers on home accounts. While these are rarely enforced, allowing most game (i.e. Minecraft) servers and the like, it is still the policy of any ISP I've dealt with. Google has done a good thing by allowing these personal use servers. Sadly, they're not likely to reduce the amount of traffic sniffing.
You can't actually build it that way, unfortunately. The site is really only to help you price that configuration and help you find that or a similar build. All cars have to be purchased through a dealer. I was informed that my Mazda dealer could not special order vehicles built in Japan; Mazda simply sends a certain number of cars to the dealer in quantities and configurations they feel will sell best. There is some statistical information and dartboard decision-making in that process, I can only assume.
I believe the reasoning behind this is due to the lead time from manufacture to dealership arrival. I believe that is somewhere in the neighborhood of three months. Sadly, Mazda is not the only company that does this: Hyundai does so for their entire lineup, despite a significant number of their vehicles being built in Alabama and elsewhere in the southern U.S.
I was looking for a Mazda 3 2.5l Hatch with a stick. Sadly, that was impossible at the time, despite being able to build one on the Mazda site. I only managed to find a base model 2.0l sedan and a Mazdaspeed 3. Now, while I would have jumped at the Mazdaspeed 3 if I could, but my bank account had other plans. I settled on a Mazda 2, which I quite like, but I occasionally want more space.
Exactly this. Passwords like picture and PIN passwords are meant to keep your kids from installing software and/or getting to your porn collection/browser history. These types of passwords aren't exactly meant to keep you safe from more nefarious individuals.
I don't typically care for the types of little poems or phrases like this (it reminds me of those phrases you'd see on some random girl's Facebook page like "live, laugh, love"), but that bit you've posted hit me right there. *bangs chest with fist*
In my opinion, Windows RT just hasn't proved its value. With the exception of the Surface (RT), I can't think of a single RT device that made me think "Oh, I want that!" I do own a Dell XPS10, but It certainly wasn't a value at its original price. I purchased this from craigslist and didn't actually make a move on one until the 64GB model I kept my eye on dropped to $280 (with keyboard). Sadly, it's a buggy affair, as Dell hasn't quite figured out how to implement the dock properly in my opinion.
Back on topic, however, while the included Office is a nice touch, the only reason the tablet works for me is my simple needs. I basically need a browser for couch and toilet surfing. My Xbox music pass is a nice touch, though not a selling point on a tablet (my phone is a different story). The app selection is still woefully lacking, but I can't complain too much at $280. I'd be very upset if I'd paid $500-600 for a device with the same restrictions (and no, I won't buy an iPad or Android tablet at that price either). At that price, I'd rather save a little more for a Surface Pro or something along that lines.
If they're as good as the Lumia 925 (and I assume they are), they're damned good. Far better than my Galaxy S3. Definitely not DSLR good, but damned good, nonetheless. At a recent concert, I was impressed how well it handled the stage lighting and everything. Many other phones didn't fare nearly as well as mine did. I did end up wishing I'd picked up a 1020 instead, as the performer's face was completely lacking any detail at the distance I was at.
This is just awful placement. I actually would have no issue with ads inside the Bing app results (just like you would on the search page). The placement on the Smart Search, visible from the main start screen, is just atrocious. I'd just as soon disable the Bing from smart search anyway. Microsoft made a great impression on my with Metro UI, both in Windows Phone, and in Windows 8/RT in that it always looks clean and unfettered by advertising. They'll be quickly losing that advantage if they steer it in the direction of the XBox's UI with ads everywhere.
Not really. Not if you have several projects over the next few years and don't want to have to set up your Server 2012 domain over and over and over again...
So wait, you're telling me that all these game-changing social media startups telling me I don't need physical presence anymore want... physical presence? Is this supposed to be ironic?
As a counterpoint to your claims of being "unusuable," my Dell XPS10 (another RT device) came with Microsoft Office Home & Student 2013. I could care less about Word, Excel and PowerPoint, but it did come with OneNote. This is not the crappy OneNote that is available for most other devices and does not support "ink" input. This is actual OneNote. Aside from that, I used my Transformer Prime for Netflix, Hulu, Emulators, and Couch/Toilet browsing. The XPS10 does all of those things. Just don't try finding any worthwhile games on the Windows marketplace for it. They're all just awful. Truly awful.
*Note: I did not pay anywhere near full price for this device. We would be having a different conversation had I paid full price for the 64GB model with keyboard dock.
*Note2: It has quirks - the tablet battery drains before the keyboard battery does and it sometimes has issues enumerating the devices on the dock. It does let me turn taps off, which I appreciate after millions of accidental clicks on the Transformer Prime.
Password control? You could implement a policy where all remote connections must be sanctioned by someone on your side and disable/change passwords fatter the remote user notifies you their work is done or after a predetermined amount of time. Bear in mind you should read your support contract before you try this -you may find nasty penalties or be in breach.

I can see it now. Expect helpful input like "This thing is sweet!" or "That screen rocks!" Good luck, Lenovo engineers.

You should do that more often :)
I should also, really, think about my extraneous/incorrect comma usage.
In all fairness, paper means one thing in the IT world - mainly getting through HR somewhere where you don't have connections.

That's exactly what I plan to do. Ha!
...I hope the sticker store has some of these. I'm going to need a discount on stickers.

I can only hope the responsible investors are properly ticketed and fined. What a glorious and historic $75 that will be.

I'd say that's more likely to buy a fleet of 500... candy bars.
Judging from your use of "it's" instead of "its," you sure fit the profile of a Seton Hiller.

If I had to guess, most of the Windows team members would chuckle at it, while the legal department runs around screaming "fire!"

*whoosh* It was actually a social media hipster joke. Since it involves stereotypes, no, it was not meant to be an intelligent, nor serious comment.

So...PACS plus Supercomputer? Holy IO, Batman! Then again, I don't know that MRIs use that much.
