Most steam games don't have DRM. Most you can play even after you cancel a steam account. and even the ones that do have drm (none that I own, I have 20+ steam games) it's not really the shitty kind of drm, relativity. Also steam lets you re-download your entire library to a new computer free of charge.
or we could finally kill the redundant cable tv connection and have EVERYthing through the internet, as it should be. That way when the internet gets better, everything else does too. So much silly redundancy in infrastructure. Besides netflix+downloading computer updates while Skyping while your kids are doing the same thing in two different rooms. It adds up.
You act like there is only one true way for FLOSS software/ It doesn't make sense for stuff like firefox to be tested in the wild. It might for other products,
there is everything wrong with it. No one wants to back a project when it has the perception of a pet product. Examples might include, Mozilla, Microsoft, apple, not wanting to spend development cycles adding function in a very fast market; Even more then that thou is the companies not wanting to port their wed app products to new code, hiring/training new people. Start-in-your basement style companies don't want to spend the time either. Because it's a pet product. So even if it is a great product, it won't get adapted from your track record of the last 50 failed ones you canceled or didn't support or push to get adapted. There is sort of a window for new products like this, you need people to sign up for them mentally so you need company backing to market, and polish the image of the product, Like how every new apple product update is treated like a new form of gold. Like how Steve Jobs spend _10 minutes_ in the product launch keynote talking about how they added folders to iOS, like it was a revolution. Just releasing products into the wild gives your brand a bad image.
they are not innovative. They hire 10,000 Eager beavers and they throw everything on the wall and see what sticks. This is a horrible way to get a product to market. You need early adaptions followed by mass adaption, and, very sad to say, you need some marketing. You really need to pick and choose your products, and only put effort in the the very best ones. They haven't really made more then 3-4 innovative products, everything else was just a better funded, better branded copy of something else.
it's not 'thier phone' it's a super secret prototype from a famously Nazi secrets company that they had to sign away their life and their job to get, They didn't leave a 'phone' in a bar, they left one of the hottest most wanted tech jobs on the market in that bar. They just lost their job. This DOES look like a strategy
You missed the part that goes 'unlikely to have affected the source code repositories' where """unlikely"""" is newsspeak for anywhere between 'we hope' to 'we have no idea' to 'We are activity working on containing damage before full disclosure'
If you turn on tag review, items you're tagged in don't appear on Facebook until you review and approve them. You can also turn on profile review, and set profile visibility to friends only. If you set those things appropriately and the person trying to tag you also tries to block you from seeing what they've tagged you in, they paint themselves into a corner: if you can't see it you can't review and approve it, and if you don't approve it it's not visible to anyone.
yep.
Sorry/. like it or not, the new facebook system is actually a improvement. They could do more, but you have to admit it's a improvement
Otherwise you are just a partisan non-thinking tool. Like a democrat who lives to cheer their team, so if the republications do something they normally would like, they still hate on it because republication=bad democrat=good. And that is the worse sort of tool you can be. Also I'm not clicking on this knee-jerk reactionary blog and giving him page hits.
I'll say it again, this is a huge improvement, deal with it fanboys.
"Terrible web browsing experience.
Rubbish for gaming because of the lack of physical controls.
Useless for watching videos because who wants to hold their display while watching a film."
wrong wrong and wrong.
"Can't be used for any RealWork such as programming, graphic design, stock trading or anything else."
Maybe, depends on the work, but 80% (guess estimate) of the people that buy PC"s now don't do any 'real work' They use the basic web, they email, and maybe share photos, that's if not doing that on facebook. THey look up movie times, they read news, etc.
Everyone only drives on the same side because of government regulated road rules that are publicly funded and subsidized by taxes from people that don't use them, Furthermore the only reason the regulations work is because they are backed up by the the enforcement of the police systems, which in turn and backed up by the courts, all which are tax funded and regulated by government
Actually, all but nine of them voted to raise the debt ceiling under the Cut, Cap and Balance plan.
The Cut cap and balance plan only put "Enforceable spending caps that will put federal spending on a path to a balanced budget." Which means nothing and does nothing. So whether r the defaultt was then or in 5 years, as you say, they were still voting for a default, or at least a untenable solution. They never offered what the needed cuts would actully be. The Cut cap and balance plan had only one thing a bill needs to be signed on by lots of people who know it will never pass, a good name.
? I would argue that the position of the majority of the Democratic politicians in this debate was that we keep on spending until we can't make the payments anymore
What fiction is this? They offered scared cows, cuts to social security, and offered tax raises to pre bush levels, and the already planned cuts to the military Budget among others. Anyone arguing they said "spend spend spend till we run out" Has partisan blinders on. In fact, that was the republications position, thou they never actually said that, they refused to increase Federal revenue (it' at it's lowest sense 1960) and argued over tax cuts that amount to 1.5% of the budget while protecting their cows, like military spending (~20 % of budget)
.
So, you are saying that the U.S. government pays out more each month to service its debt than it takes in in tax revenue?
no, silly, but I'm saying they had a month to make legislation for effects for the next several months+. No republication offered a deal that equaled the spending cuts needed to miss a default in that time frame. Again, for effect: No congressperson offered a deal that had the 4 trillion in cuts to avoid a default. It wasn't possible. Unless they fired 40% military or something else not legal (under contract). So, yes, again, my point stands, by grandstanding on a no tax increase AND no debt limit raising platform, 50+ republicans were advocating a default. Thou really all they were doing was politicking their score cards up over very real, very important issues. Fucking shoe sales men, most of them, both sides of the aisle.
You have been mislead. There was no way to cut spending to the point to meet revenues in the month they had. Any person in the know know we either needed the limit raised, or tax increases AND spending cuts. 50+ rebultards, a lot of who got sweeped into office by tea party people that said "no tax increase or we with primary the fuck out of you" can't speak truthfully and --say they didn't want a default AND didn't want the debt limit raised AND No tax increase" By saying they wanted no tax increase and the debt limit not raised, they WERE saying they wanted a default. You couldn't have the two former without the latter in that time frame.

When you have several US congressmen short selling vs the dollar in a game they partly control, they are basically committing treason
the only real reason to stay with firefox is the add-on's, just like one few the few reasons to stay with windows is the huge software library. They need to fix breaking add-ons, and they need to do it now
There is a places between a nursing home and living alone. lots Retirement homes with different lvls of care and service. A lot of them allow people to eat or cook alone or when no longer able to eat in the common rooms. A lot of people are really happy there ( a lot hate it too) and often there are even in outdoor bunglow type apartments
We have prolonged life but not the quality of life, and this tech does not address this. A dying process that used to take 2 months is now drawn out for 2 years costing untold piles of money and untold extra grief and pain for the patient and the family.
Does anyone else feel this tech is super creepy and sounds more like a testing ground for Orwellian type monitoring? I mean there is no reason a government couldn't say this tech that watch's everything you eat and every time you leave the house and all your movement in your own house ever your gait wouldn't give a 29 year old extra safety too?? creepy
even if it's true this is cheaper then a retirement home today; whatever it costs, it will cost less putting this tech into a retirement home on scale (also reusable without being moved) so that argument is false
Now who is being biased? Source that shows increased crime rate is from increased police presence or you are just blowing smoke. Also 8% is a huge crime increase for a neighborhood
No No No. Why need to a create a federal regulatory body? For interstate taxing? That is why you are forcing it to be run in a state with a gaming commission. everything else is ok. But get back to me when this is actually close to passing.

no, this is wrong. sorry. You Can Launch Most Steam Games Without Steam. but nice try. Go try it

Thought crimes?? Better call the Thought Police.

"the smart ones" And how many people in any non-trivial given populace are "smart"?
Everyone only drives on the same side because of government regulated road rules that are publicly funded and subsidized by taxes from people that don't use them, Furthermore the only reason the regulations work is because they are backed up by the the enforcement of the police systems, which in turn and backed up by the courts, all which are tax funded and regulated by government
