Did he make more than Google does with its search engine? Because they are essentially one and the same thing, in practice. The fact that Google search engine has other uses is a fair point, but not technically relevant IMO.
It's lame that phones have connector holes in them at all. With inductive charging, Bluetooth headphones, and WiFi or cellular for everything else, why should there be connectors at all. I'm surprised that Steve Jobs didn't eliminate holes years ago on uglyness grounds.
An excellent point! I could understand if some phones retained the conventional jacks for wires, but you would think by now at least some companies would go the all-cable-less route.
Samsung always include those cloths in their TVs and monitors. I thought they were meant for cleaning the "glossy" surface of the TV itself, not the screen. The cloth being included as a non-abrasive alternative to a conventional cloth or paper towel.
TPB is an indexing site. You use it to find people who have files you want (in simple terms). In that sense, it is no more a copyright violator than Google is (by using some simple search strings I can use Google to find copyrighted MP3s that people host on their sites).

Eh, I was in a shitty mood yesterday morning, went a bit OTT. My point was that the US has no leg to stand on calling Europeans cowardly and afraid of conflict, because they themselves are such an aggressive force. And the US were not the only ones involved in the first Gulf War, nor Bosnia, regardless of the morality and legality of those conflicts.
Nah, that stuff will get you slapped with some kind of Hate Speech violation. I would opt for singing the Team America (AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!) song loudly and proudly, as if I had not realised it was satire.
So essentially the same rights/power as any citizen (as I understand it, a "citizen's arrest" means you can detain someone you believe to be breaking the law, until LE arrives).
Fuck comcast, or more appropriately, fuck capitalism.
My point is, you cannot blame them for not wanting to run cables to your house, if they are not going to make money off it. I am in the same situation (my city is one of the top for internet speed in the country, but I live in an inexplicable not-spot). Countless phone calls to the cable company (the only people who do fibre, apart from a few small niche companies) end in the same result: it is not economically viable for them to cable my street, despite neighboring streets being cabled. In addition, BT are rolling out fibre as well, to my exchange, but the catch is, they are only bringing the fibre to cabinets that are already served with fibre from Virgin. Why? Well, for competition. If you are not on fibre, you are already paying BT for line rental on the copper, so they have no incentive to cable. In places with Virgin cable, they are not guaranteed a profit, so they put in a competing service.
tl;dr privatising telecoms means monopolies and profiteering, rather than providing a public service. so fuck capitalism. in this case.
I would take that statistic with a pinch of salt. 39% of PC gamers? Does that encompass all use of a PC for gaming, or is it actual online MP? In my experience, if a woman plays "computer games" it is most likely facebook minigames like farmville, or it is The Sims. Neither of which depend on low latency to function (the latter not even being online). Apologies in advance for any sexism/sexual prejudice, this is my own anecdotal evidence only.
All filed under "none of your fucking business" in my book. And I do not believe for a second that the Serbs in Bosnia were doing anything but right, kicking violent islamists out of their country (the surviving extremists from that war went on to commit 9/11, so well done for intervening, you reap what you sow). And do not give me the Srebrenica line. Ask someone who was there before you decide you know what happened.
I just got a D3100 for xmas, and wow they really are a fantastic bit of kit (but don't take my word for it, the web is full of glowing reviews). Its cheap enough that you can justify it for a beginner, and easy enough to learn on as well. I started out on the Auto mode (which really does all the work for you and takes excellent pictures) and started to learn how to use it. It even has a guide to help you learn, interactively. So +1 for the D3100!
The rest of Europe just stands around naval gazing and complaining
Naval gazing? Staring at the Navy? At the ocean? Or did you mean navel gazing? And sorry if we don't want to join in your Imperialist genocides but we happen to think that every conflict you have engaged in since WW2 have been unjust, that is why we abstain.
My first thought as well. From what I can see, all you get is just a printable letter with a colourful background, something that can be knocked up in Photoshop, MS Word or even Paint in about 5 minutes. Unless I have missed the point entirely, I am not surprised nobody paid for this.
Yep, this. A CS degree these days is nothing more than a piece of paper that you often need to be considered for a job. It does not (necessarily) teach you the tools for the job. I am in the inverse situation to GP, my university taught only non-MS stuff (Java, Perl, LAMP) and my job now requires me to use Windows Server 2008 and IIS7. I had never even seen IIS before I came here..
Once upon a time a Wolf was lapping at a spring on a hillside, when, looking up, what should he see but a Lamb just beginning to drink a little lower down. "There's my supper," thought he, "if only I can find some excuse to seize it." Then he called out to the Lamb, "How dare you muddle the water from which I am drinking?"
"Nay, master, nay," said Lambikin; "if the water be muddy up there, I cannot be the cause of it, for it runs down from you to me."
"Well, then," said the Wolf, "why did you call me bad names this time last year?"
"That cannot be," said the Lamb; "I am only six months old."
"I don't care," snarled the Wolf; "if it was not you it was your father;" and with that he rushed upon the poor little Lamb and ate her all up. But before she died she gasped out: "Any excuse will serve a tyrant."

Hear hear. Can you imagine how quickly we would all be extradited to Yemen for going to our local pub and having a drink here in England???

I would be equally worried about spilling any Bud Light into my mouth...
My point is Murdoch is not British. You said he was from the UK.
Leave the normal website up, but change it so it only contains instructions on how to get to their darknet site.

It's an american site. You can't oppose capitalism with Murkins. They don't get it.
lolwut? really not intended as flamebait, just straight facts...oh slashdot..

Or just bite the bullet and use a phone ;)

Oh come on, Nvidia make it easy for you by capitalising the N. That's more than you can say for nginx.
