No and no. Also, you really are worth of your name, minus the first part. Or just completely ignorant as not to know that early iphone was actually a failure in terms of popularity until app store picked up the slack pushing it hard in US and actually making it start selling elsewhere, and the successor of n95, n97 was in fact the phone that could not compete with that. N95 on the other hand sold brilliantly and is still remembered by many as one of the best phones they ever owned. Because it was that damn good.
But don't let the reality get in the way of your trolling. It's quite entertaining.
N95 called to say hi and tell you how utterly ignorant you are. As do some of the most brilliant and best selling cheap phones and several other smartphones.
It's far too late for that. Elop has already been successful in either killing or outsourcing essentially everything not winphone related. In addition to this nokia is most likely tied to microsoft contractually with significant fines on breakage, making for a nice poison pill for any microsoft's competitor to try to get out of microsoft ties upon buying nokia.
In that case, it looks like an abysmal failure in USA where its most notable achievements are the ridiculous "don't dry cat in the microwave oven" warning tags, while European model is a resounding success at stated goal of getting companies to change through significant financial losses. They challenge major corporations through consumer protection organisations that are often in a regulatory or monitoring and advising position to the government, and fines these levy tend to be quite significant when harm is significant (and when some dumbass burns herself with a cup of coffee in a car, she gets laughed out of the door).
This depends on the country in question and how far it allows such contracts to go. In USA, EULA of this kind has been legally enforced with great degree of success in courts. It had a bit less of luck in various European countries, and even less success in the rest of the world where companies don't even bother trying to enforce it knowing that such action would be smashed by local law.
The ethical problem of this, and the reason why this doesn't exist in most of Europe is that plaintiff should always be the main target of any money received. There is also issue with entire concept of civil law aiming for "punishment" over "righting the wrong", which is deeply unethical in itself.
Properly done class action lawsuit should severely cap lawyer fees and ensure that majority of settlement goes towards paying those who were hurt by the actions for which company was sued successfully. Unfortunately that presents significant difficulties in modern quick-profit oriented world where those with most money can corrupt legislation to modify laws originally meant to protect the weak into machine for enriching themselves even further.
As we have seen, US isn't the world and it's EU that's currently championing consumer rights in the Western world. And in here, you can't waive rights through a simple click-through quite as easily. In many cases, you cannot waive them at all.
The fact that Ubi rushed to fix the problem so fast tells you just how risky someone high up thought this is.
I believe that setting is not for the running game but for background updates. Steam will always attempt to update the game on game start regardless of this flag.
And that seriousness lasts just as long as the first guy taking shots at you. And of course there is plenty of photographic evidence of US troops manning.50 cal machine guns against Taleban for example, plastered across front pages of websites and magazines. And those guys going generally attack on foot.
They don't. They just do what they did since FF4 - pose for spotlight and pretend to be doing something novel when they blatantly copy yet another add-on functionality, and do it horribly.
If you are using the last firefox that actually was decent and want a much better version of this functionality, search for "https everywhere" addon.
They have been officially in process of abandoning symbian since 2011 or so, and it will officially end in total abandonment in 2016. In reality, symbian has been largely abandoned marketing wise back in 2011 along with the catastrophic "platform burning" memo which made sales go from "increasing by about 5% yearly" to "total collapse" overnight.
Linux smartphone is 100% abandoned. Meego has been abandoned before N9 was even properly out, with team developing it long disbanded. N9 is no longer manufactured and they're just selling the rest of the stock. There has been virtually no marketing push behind N9 either. Fun trivia: it still outsold all lumia phones to date.
Dumb phones are still going, but how long they will last is anyone's guess. Elop has finally gotten around to axing meltemi dev team (linux based dumbphone OS), which means that nokia essentially has no OS for dumbphones past 2016, when it's supposed to fully abandon symbian. WP is unsuitable for dumbphones due to both hardware requirements and software pricing, and Elop's clear main goal is to make nokia into a 100% WP OEM and nothing more. That makes dumbphone division future into a very big question mark.
It's the same reason why porn producers were so afraid of HD. What looks like a hot porn star in standard def, looks like a worn out junkie with terrible rash in HD. You need to spend a lot more on make up and such to cover the problems when producing in HD. That is true from top to bottom, and many producers are used to making a lot of stuff cheap "because it always worked out".
It doesn't any more, and industry is slow to adapt.
As with most online FPS games, you learn what good servers are and you stick with them. That's why bookmarking feature exists. Sure, some random server may have shitty players and admins, but good ones? Always an admin on patrol or at least standby, if someone tries to be an ass, report on irc, someone owner chose to give admin rights logs on looks what what's going on and makes the decision.
There will always be bad servers. And there will always be good servers. It takes a few days to a few weeks to locate good ones, and after that you just stick with them.
The problem in theatres is not so much that people don't want 3D, it's that there are very very few movies that do 3D well. Essentially, very are almost no movies that can match Avatar in implementation. And that movie is what sold 3D ot the masses originally.
If people started making move movies to match Avatar's 3D quality, it would be a lot more popular of a feature. But as it stands right now, about the only use of a 3D is in games on powerful PC that can handle the double frame rate.
So is tax evasion. But you won't be punished if you're not caught, and you can always hire a well paid stooge to take the fall for you. It's not as obvious here in the west as, say, in Japan where Yakuza essentially officially sends "this man will admit to the crime committed to pay us his debt" to police station, but it certainly is present.

USA seems to have done fine in this task, going from 1:1 copies of European technology to eventually developing and improving it, to USA it is today.
Failure of n95? What the hell are you smoking?
Or you hide backdoor in the hardware, invisible from the actual hardware until initialized externally.
Even if they did 1:1 copy software side, hardware can have its own backdoors, hidden in the chips, completely invisible from software side.
And if you think that cisco doesn't have backdoors, I have land on the moon to sell you.

It's not about improving workplace environment. It's about securing your position against destructive lawsuits.
Former is nice to have. Latter is mandatory.

Hell no. Out of sight, out of mind is the way of the land.
Big enough to handle it apparently.

I suspect it's console problem then. I'm also a PC player and no such problem.
He's just ignoring the convenient fact that US has access to 100% by the same measuring stick.

That's nice. Now how about talking about what we were talking about here, violence and crime rate?
On the other hand, you just posted four replies to the same post... most of them raging. Funny.
