The interesting thing is the article mentions "FF+ Ad-block" as one of the tests, but not Opera's or Chrome's ad-block performance. You'd think that'd skew the curve a bit, wouldn't you? So I think in this particular case, some mention of adblock was relevant, but yes, not to the degree of bum-lickery that's going on.
I believe that what he was getting at was you buy the "binaries," and then whatever device you use "compiles" it to the proper format automatically, no encryption, no DRM, nothing like that. Sorry, couldn't come up with a car analogy.
Actually, sharing isn't prohibited. There was a court case that leaned in the direction of allowing it, and the MAFIAA-types haven't been willing to challenge it yet with an actual case, so it's very ambiguous. If they challenged and lost, it'd basically be a death-knell for them in Canada, and likely in the rest of the world soon after, since copyright treaties extend the same protections to signatory nations. That would actually make it a global precident. I can see why they wouldn't want to take the risk.
Actually, no woosh. I figured it was funny, since at the time he was rated 1: Flamebait. I figured a response was a better use of my time than using a mod point to really poke at him.
Yeah, I do think they should all be immune. The PS shouldn't be "inspecting" my packages. They're private. They aren't paid to snoop. The bus service isn't paid to look in back packs and conduct background checks. The phone company isn't paid to check the ages of people on the handset. The gun company isn't paid to parent people's kids. You know who is? The police. In every single case it's the legal authorities who should be doing something (well, apart from parenting, that should be the parents). A private citizen could call them and say "hey, there's a package labelled "meth" that was just delivered to a kid," or "there's a guy wearing a sign saying 'I'm on my way to blow up kids and all I'm getting is entry to heaven'" or "Hey, there's this kid on a public phone talking dirty," or "There's a kid on the playground with a glock." So, yeah, private industries should be blind and immune to abuse of their services.
That's actually what I thought when I heard the title too. Except that's "Avatar: The Last Air Bender." And there is a movie coming out called "The Last Air Bender" which is based on that anime. This "Avatar" is unrelated to that one. Needless to say, I was still rather confused.
The same, but different. No. Really. One was saying "IE has more vulnerabilities." The other was saying "FF and Opera do not have the specific vulnerability they are exploiting." Not the same thing in the long-term.
As I told the other PDFer, it's not the publisher. It's the distributor. It's Amazon, Google, and the other large services. It's not Bantam, Harper Collins, and other publishers' fault. And the publisher doesn't get a choice. You supply it in a different format, and they WILL change it to theirs, and then charge you for it. So yes, it's the customer's fault for supporting any place with a closed format. Blame the correct people in this scenario, please. As publishers, we put up with enough shit from distributors.
Yes, but since the services refuse to SELL them in PDF format. Again, it's not the publishers, it's the services selling eBooks. Basically, you're blaming Harper Collins when you should be blaming Barnes and Noble.
The PS3 version has received absolutely none of the content updates, while the 360 version has received few, and for pay. Meanwhile the PC version has lots, for free.
For instances, TF2 on PC has only 3 classes left to receive updates. Last I heard, the 360 version has about half left.
It was "IBM-Compatible." Not "PC-Compatible." I never. Ever. EVER heard "PC-Compatible." Why? Because originally, Macintoshes, Amigas, Commodores, et al were also personal computers. However, they had different architecture. So, you needed to know what company's architecture was in mind when buying software. When people came out with clones, they identified what company's software they'd run. Saying "PC" wasn't useful, since that only meant "Not a Server/Mainframe."
once we mapped them to the PC keyboard they needed to stay in place. But it was very successful so I think it worked.â
^^sounds like absolute BS
Doesn't SOUND like BS. It IS BS. I played the PC version. And I gotta tell you, any game where you use wasd, and need to hit z, x, or c on a regular basis is a poorly mapped layout. If a game wants me to move, then let me keep my fingers free on the movement keys.

Someone... who... likes cardboard?
Wait, you said with a tongue. Fuck, I dunno then.
Microwaves. They interfere with wi-fi. Then again, walking between the router and computer can affect it too.

Animaniacs is WB, not Disney. So apparently, no, not so easy.
Couldn't be worse than X-Men 3.

Ah, right then, it's like a multi-tool verus a claw hammer.
Not since about season 9, no. Oh well.
Eerrrr... Duh? lol
Seriously, that's what facts are for. Proving things. They don't HAVE a use beyond that. Well, winning on Jeopardy, I suppose.

Okay, then since I don't use FF, I'm honestly confused as to the utility of NoScript, if it's possible to disable scripting without it. Elucidate?

No, it's the game that kicks your CPU in the cycles the hardest while bending over your GPU and having its naughty way with it.
That was before the ESRB. Nintendo doesn't do that any more.
