And once they get to highlighting, plugin support, multi-file support and macros, they might even get a handful of Notepad++ users to actually use theirs.
You know, Microsoft more and more reminds me of the retarded brother of someone. He's trying soooo hard to be as good as his idol, but he is at best adorable in his effort.
Every other kind of porn that you could possibly think of you can get for free on the internet. There's literally an endless amount of people very willing to shag in front of cameras and put that online, who'd pay for something like that?
The only way you could get people to pay for porn anymore is if you can produce some where the production cost is higher than, well, a home video camera and a broadband connection.
Actually I did at first have to google that name. Then I noticed she's some sort of voyeur-TV celebrity of some sort.
Ya know, when I was young, being a celebrity meant that you could do something really well and that people admired you for it. Today it seems to mean more that you're too stupid for any kind of meaningful work, too lazy to do any non-meaningful work and too proud to go for social security.
Technically you're right, but you have to see what the market they aimed for was. They targeted that thing at families where the whole family was before that sitting on a motor scooter made for a single rider. Compared to that, it had glowing crash test results.
Dying with a 50% chance is superior to dying with a 99% chance...
Then what is it for? And please don't give me the "to compensate for losses due to copies", how can you possibly justify blanket punishment of everyone for a crime a handful of people commit? Do you get to pay a "robbery fee" on guns now? Is there a "getaway car tax" on new vehicles? Or how about all men paying a "rapist victim compensation" for having the relevant equipment?
No, but that's also not necessary. All it takes to thwart any laser based weaponry is to come covered in something that reflects and scatters light well. The effect of a laser weapon is based upon absorption of the light. Technically if you know what kind of laser it is, the color of your clothing might already be enough.
Laser guns look cool and futuristic in sci fi movies, but they really make pretty poor weapons in reality.
Well, to be honest, with most of Hollywood's actors and how credible and sincere they can portray the hero, it doesn't help in the caring department either.
I've been wondering that for years. I mean, considering the wooden acting that is the standard these days, that could've been done in CGI two decades ago, why pay them millions when you could render a more appealing face with more emotion in a sweatshop in Korea?
Effort vs. effect. And that ratio simply sucks when you consider the market share of Linux, and then that this market share is also again split up between the various distributions.
Hence invading a distribution repository isn't that helpful if your goal is what most untargeted malware attacks are aiming for: Wide distribution. It's different if you have a specific target in mind, like a particular government facility, but then you would probably be rather targeting one of the larger distributions, not Arch.
It's funny that you tell me to come out of my bubble. But that as a side note.
You are trying desperately to tie recent events somehow to this really absolutely insignificant trolling attempt just because it fits whatever agenda you're riding. You are even trying to somehow attach this to Russia rigging the US election, when the whole thing didn't even make any kind of impact on the very industry that it happened in. Are you aware of that? This whole tempest in a teapot didn't even bother a single gaming studio. It didn't affect one game critic (aside of the ones directly affected). And the only people still even talking about it are those that try to milk some idiots for money so they can push the agenda.
It's not a matter of eyes, it's a matter of eyes that are actually looking. Just because a million people uses OpenSSH every day doesn't mean that it's more secure, unless someone sits down and audits it, it could as well be closed source.
The difference is that if you WANT to audit it, you CAN. Without first reading more NDAs than you'll eventually get to read code.
We got the same. In any other context something like this would be illegal. You're paying a fee on every medium, but at the same time copying anything that says that it has a copy protection (needn't even have one, just claiming to have one is enough) means you must not copy it.
Now tell me, what kind of content am I supposed to put on the medium that I just paid for to be allowed to put content on that I'm not allowed to put on.
Dear content industry: Go and die a quick and preferably painful, but I'd settle for just quick, death. Nobody needs you anymore. You're, essentially, a useless sponge on society in general and creative creators in particular. The faster you cease to exist, the better for all of us.
Powerful? Nobody outside of gaming circles gave half a shit about it. Hell, I'm an avid gamer and I barely noticed it. It may be hard to accept but really, nobody in the world gives half a shit about the whole deal. You might have noticed that nobody, literally nobody (except a few die hard drum majors) even talks about it anymore, and you may also have noticed that it had zero influence on the gaming industry in general and gaming reviews in particular.

That I don't exactly have to talk at Walmart. It's kinda hard to get anything done on a phone call if you don't want to talk.

Who'd want porn with that old hag? Even her husband is going for younger game.
Indirectly. Put a tax on every piece of software sold and in turn reduce the tax on labor for domestic software production.
Politics can do what they want, if we want to hire cheap foreigners we'll hire cheap foreigners. Here or abroad.
Ya know, while he's at it, couldn't Trump start putting tariffs on software?

Wrong investment scam.
Cutting corners with big words doesn't really change the net result. Well, ok, it changes the price tag, but aside of that...

Yeah, there's some spin on this, all right, but I don't think it's the photons.
In other words, pretty much any army that could matter in any foreseeable conflict.
The smoke grenade should take good care of both.
Your complaint now is that ... what? That her employer didn't distance themselves from her?
No, but that's also not necessary. All it takes to thwart any laser based weaponry is to come covered in something that reflects and scatters light well.

Well, you have made your mind up it seems. So further discussion is pretty much moot.
