Problem with this is that moderators browse comments at -1 so they will see it. And when they see it they will get Fscking annoyed and become trolling victims.
You can buy directly from soundcloud now? Haven't seen this one yet. Also last time I heard bandcamp would help itself to 50% of your sales income, I didn't look it through but it sounded legit.
Anyway, anything against established art distributors. I personally like little indies that send you their music after a paypal/"or alt" donation. Ok, I know paypal is supposed to be evil also but who cares at this point.
I second that. After Sony made their 2nd hit console with the PS2 (IIRC the most successful console in history) they lost drive and determination and became just a bureaucracy temple. They managed to bring out a (IMO) legendary console but have missed the point by letting a lot of exclusivity slip, not keeping their word about reverse compatibility, raising the barrier to entry for indies and having a very complicated HW architecture..
AFAIK windows was never sold at an impartially distinguishable loss. MS DOS had made it into practically any PC in the 80s (which came to be the norm by the brilliant sale to IBM who payed them 5$/PC to equip every one of the machines they manufactured with a DOS os which they had bought for around 75k) which meant the GUI oriented next gen OS from Microsoft had had it's share cut before the first line of code.
RedHad/Canonical are making things more convenient
Yes.
But the rest of Your comment really doesn't make any sense to me. Sorry, I just can't understand how You can be seeing this as "OK" when there are very apparent barriers to independence put up by this move.
Also, the secure boot disabling clause only applies to x86 machines.
It's not the money its the time and effort it takes to convince every device manufacturer to include your signature on their devices' roms. Have you ever tried doing something like that? Because if you had you would not be playing so smarty pants.
Of course this creates a much unwanted dependency on something which other distributions might not be able to include legally in their builds.
You are answering to yourself there. Even if possible - which, IMO, if secureboot is correctly done it shouldn't be - it would be counter productive and locking you in into redhat's bootloader choices.
Ok, you see, this exactly is a problem. This isn't a monopoly abuse in the classical sense it just is a move to establish the big enterprise at the cost of the smaller solutions. The thing is Microsoft paves the "way" to signed bootloaders in a way that is very unfriendly to homebrew since software can't (AFAIK) auto install it's certs into the pre boot process. This leaves two options: 1) manual installation of the certs by the end user which isn't very straight forward and could even become impossible 2) pre installation of all available certs by the manufaturer (now guess for how many reasons manufacturers aren't going to auto install keys for all available linux/hurd/bsd distros, yep there are many). Which leaves independent guys that release some spin of some distro out of the game completely since they do not have the manpower to ring up all manufacturers and `demand` the inclusion of their signatures on the manuf's devices' uefi rom and makes it much more difficult for guys trying to do mobile device gnuxes hanging there not knowing how to actually respond.
So yeah. It hasn't anything to do with monopoly or any other 80s board game. It's just the fat bully pushing around the nerds.

Really this can be a win situation or a lose situation. No one will know until they actually bring something up. Still it is very soon to be just running around yelling "Hurray"
Mathematically democracy is about what you deserve as a collection, so you can't really degenerate it. Corruption is just part of the reward. The thing about what's best is a bit of a myth.
Well FB authentication isn't really an option if you are not prepared to handle multiple FB accounts since most sites that implement it require full access to your data (likes, shares, etc) in order to log you in...
If Yahoo could be civilized and just ask for my email and name I might be ok with it but full access to my likes and shares is ludicrous. Of course if I were that much into data mining I as well would request all that data!
And please, don't anyone mention using FB as the universal ID. I don't have and don't want FB account(s).
Wise choice considering that most applications request access to your likes and posts in order to log you in... You can of course create one facebook account for every one website (easiest thing if you control a domain) like somebody I know of...
Only if you are a logical person. The teams of accountants running big Internet outfits that are dependent on advert revenue just see this as a que to "Hey! There's a spot we haven't put an ad on!".
Honestly though, from personal experience, redefining your ad strategy to something much more minimal, elegant and integrated seems to be working atm. The Plain advertisement times on the net are over. Now it seems to be all about social recommendation. (Which is nicer IMHO)
Simulated windows only work when you are stationary. once you move the illusion dissipates and you only perceive them for what they really are (failed mind controlling devices designed with the disillusioned hopes of making you work harder) from then on.
Well yes. But, on the other side, shouldn't humanity already be aware of this kind of "effect" and adjust their perception of certain input regarding it's age?
I'm not adamant about the following but I think I wouldn't want to get employed by a company that runs an hr department that fails to comprehend that people occasionally can have lives.
"His resume stated that "Herbert Frankel created the light bulb.""

Sorry but I could not help myself. Also: Al Gore's speech thing was done in this way because doing it otherwise would have meant being direct and unambiguous, which is an offense capable of banning you from politics for life.

Or the people who actually believed that piracy legislation is not about making lawyers richer.
I second that.

Well IBM is still going very strong in Ai though, Microsoft hasn't been cutting edge since NT (ok, winPhone7 was nice for a bit but that's it).
You just pay Microsoft 5 bootloaders x $80 each = $400 for them to sign the key.
OK, You got me. I don't understand, explain.

Yeah, well sorry I pulled that number out of thin air...
Snarkyness bit me in the a** there!
No, big caliber shells can get extremely hot (to the point of glowing at night). A simple T-shirt won't help much if it gets stuck on you.
You are not thinking man....

when it compiles, for iOS it will generate Obj-C
So developing it will suck as much as Obj-C and performance will suck as much as Java?
Or did I mix this up?

Yes but the sentiment stands. why base the story on a story about an article and not on the article itself?
Bone idleness? Idiocy? Hunger? Gas?

Actually I was in a lecture on photography that referred to that. Now if we only could make the windows blur out the things I don't like to see......
