    Problem fixed, takes all of 30 seconds.

    not for average joe users (you need to work a little with tech support: something like https://www.youtube.com/watch?... happens on daily basis...)

    const int one = 65536; (Silvermoon, Texture.cs)

    This is called a "fixed-point value." Perfectly legitimate technique, commonly used in games. Nothing ironic, incorrect, or sig-worthy about it, although I'd have written it as 0x10000 to emphasize the place value of the '1'.

    +1 Informative

    Confirmed, my PC didn't change any of its defaults.

    I think slashdotters are not average users (of Windows, in this case). Maybe I was wrong in that :P

  4. (you are running Ubuntu, I'm guessing)

    Ubuntu is "linux", like Android... "real" linux users don't stick with it: Ubuntu was just good to bring new users to linux. * besides, spyware shipped with Ubuntu doesn't eve compare to Windows "anal probe" 10, which is a lot more huge and affect much more users...

  5. Hey, congratulations on your system that's completely useless for gaming or real work, and probably leaking information to Canonical (you are running Ubuntu, I'm guessing).

    Steam runs on Linux, did you knew that? And Steam OS is Debian based... * Do The Evolution or stay with the past of gaming...

  6. I suspect the jury had an easy go of it because the girl was 18. I don't know (but will presume) that 18 meets "age of consent" in that jurisdiction, hence no statutory rape possible. If she had been a bit younger, it could have had a completely different outcome.

    So very true! Opportunism is an art!

  7. Considering how easy it appears to have been to avoid upgrading to MSWind10

    In universities and public enterprises here (in Brasil), there's very much upgrades to Windows 10 (the "anal probe"!)... * I've got the sarcasm from the parent :P

  8. Very well, I concede your point. It's not spyware. It's FUCKING RIDICULOUSLY AND BAD MADE malware .

    FTFY.

    having the olympics in their country will somehow make it better

    Bringing great events to "undeveloped" countries is a oportunity for the administration of these countries to make basic constructions (like Airports and Sea ports) with the event "as an excuse", carrying development... I've seem something like it with the Word Cup (I'm a Brazilian guy, almost forget to mention :P)

    [...] the rest of the town is an open sewer both culturally and literally.

    You don't know Rio very well, do you? I'm from Brazil - not from Rio or nearby cities - don't even like Rio very much, but, the city is not even close to "an open sewer both culturally and literally": his "financial peak" belongs to the past, but even now it's pretty good at cultural activities...

    This is a shining example of why socialism doesn't work. You cannot promise everyone unlimited free (or low-cost) stuff when that stuff is a finite resource.

  19. up to now, I've thinked [sic] TPB is a unusable service... there's some place to get DRM-free MP3 over this two sites? * I've used to buy music on 7digital.co.uk, but now it restricts the sales by country, which is a big problem for buyers here on Brasil (there's their's "Brazilian local site", but it has almost no stuff I've used to buy... Amazon does the same thing...)

  22. What makes a device an IoT device?

    If it floats on a cloud, runs off the willpower of app developers and is a security and privacy nightmare. Then it's IoT.
