  1. Re:Multiyear Prime subscriber here... on Amazon Wants To Replace Passwords With Selfies and Videos (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    What webmasters should do is quit looking at their own website only and implement SSO. OAuth2 or whatever. Some sites already have it, and it works.

  2. Re:Common Core is just a set of standards on Israeli 10th-Grader Discovers Elegant Geometry Theorem · · Score: 1

    Do you realize that the common core is nothing but a set of standards as far as what students should be able to achieve at various levels?

    I do. Question is whether all (or even most) teachers do, as well.

  4. Re:Calling it a Trojan Horse is a bit much on Patch Tuesday Brought Windows 10 Ad Generator · · Score: 1

    Which, as I said countless times in this thread, is NOT a result of Tuesday's patch. It's something that existed BEFORE the patch as well.

  5. Re:Here's a screenshot. Fuck off. on Patch Tuesday Brought Windows 10 Ad Generator · · Score: 1

    You're a fucking retard. This existed prior to Tuesday's patch. It's coming from MSN.com ONLY and it's because MSN.com reads your machijne OS and nags you with the update.
    You would have known if you bothered looking it up. Or even reading this very thread.

    Your point being?

  7. Re:Calling it a Trojan Horse is a bit much on Patch Tuesday Brought Windows 10 Ad Generator · · Score: 1

    You saw that because IE11 defaults to MSN.COM when opened for the first time and that banner is MSN.COM-specific.
    The article says the blue banner appears when you open a new tab - which doesn't actually happen.
    The article vomits bullshit and many other "tech" sites are guzzling it and re-spraying it onto readers.

  8. Re:Calling it a Trojan Horse is a bit much on Patch Tuesday Brought Windows 10 Ad Generator · · Score: 1

    That's a MSN.COM specific one-time banner which is cookie-based. It did appear before this Tuesday patch only on MSN.COM. It is NOT related to this patch.
    Twit. (maybe if we speak the same language, you'd get it)

  9. Re:Calling it a Trojan Horse is a bit much on Patch Tuesday Brought Windows 10 Ad Generator · · Score: 5, Informative

    Here's what's really sad:
    It all started with this Infoworld.com article. There's no definitive proof that "On computers not joined to a domain, it adds a blue banner when a user opens a new tab, saying "Microsoft recommends upgrading to Windows 10"."
    I checked my Windows 7, windows 8 and windows 8.1 VMs. All have the update. None exhibit the behavior presented above.
    None of the other machines I managed to check (which I don't own) exhibit the behavior.
    There is no screenshot I could find online that shows the blue banner.
    This seems to have blown out of proportion based on ONE single article which might just as well be a load of bullshit, and Slashdot is making it even worse.
    What the fuck has /. become, Faux News?

    I can confirm this. There are administrative policies in place that can disable telemetry and related/dependent modules (e.g. Cortana).

    Of course we can.
    This is not about music quality, it's about going against what RIAA (why do I always think of it as IRA?) and the general population push as "trendy" music.
    I'd go for Deathstep (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...) or Darkwave (but old-style, much like MZ.412, Coph Nia, Megaptera, Deutsch Nepal, Ordo Equilibro, etc.). Band name must stand out (thinking Phallus Dei or Anal Cunt).

    Let's find a shitty new song and automate streaming requests for it.

    Um... isn't UE4 free of charge for development and then once your game exceeds 3K bucks a month they will take 5% of that?

    5% WHEN YOU SHIP

    The 5% royalty starts after the first $3,000 of revenue per product per quarter. Pay no royalty for film projects, contracting and consulting projects such as architecture, simulation and visualization.
