2.) is the comment of an imbecile. An emulator is not based on an existing system. By definition they are a layer between one system and another. This is not even close to being "based" on someone else's work. The code he used came from open source projects that were licensed under the GPL and the op says this clearly enough. Using this code is using other people's work. This is the nature of open source of course and there is nothing wrong with using this code. The sleezy part of it all is trying to sell it.
Not insightful at all. People don't even read the summary any more before making silly assumptions. He didn't make the post inside the country. He made it 4 years earlier from America and they arrested him when he came to the country. What ever happened to people understanding context? Why are younger generations throwing this concept out the window? These are rhetorical of course. I feel I have to underline that as context isn't enough to distinguish these things any more.
Must be a fanboy army moding you up because this is completely wrong. The original PS3's actually had a ps2 chipset in them. There was no emulation. This changed with later versions as they brought the price of production down. The newer slimline models do not even software emulate. Hell, the newest models, being a lowest common denominator, seal the fate of the original Gen 1 ps3's. They will never fully be utilized ever. A giant waste of R&D as over the years they butchered features so they could stay competitive in the market. It's a tragic tale really. I had such high hopes for the gen1 units. The new slimline only possesses a fraction of that power.
No. They're not relevant. Your mac address isn't part of the tcp/ip at all. Hell its not even part of the network layer. Its a layer 2 protocol. It will only ever show up to systems on the same subnet and shouldn't even be considered regarding wide internet anonymity. Also, did you know that about half of statistics are made up on the spot?
I'm calling shenanigans. There is defiantly something other to this story here. Every exchange I've had with steam support has been very forthcoming. I've been using the service since day 1 and have received help with numerous problems. I'm also fairly certain that absolutely no steam customer service rep will ask you for your credit card information. Proof of purchase would've been the last 4 numbers of the card. The story seems a little far fetched, what with claims of demanding CC information and flat out refusing to tell you why it was disabled. They will always tell you why it was disabled. Perhaps it was this for breaking the code of conduct or any one of these other reasons
The strict enforcement of this conduct is one of the main reasons I game on steam rather than xbox live
You should probably read articles and know what you're talking about before commenting on them. You may be pretty sure.. i don't know based on what... though you're completely wrong. Microsoft Research are the team behind the kinect sdk for Windows.
Here in BC, there is plenty of copper that is used in logging operations in the woods. What do they do with it after they're done cutting an area you ask? They leave it there for nature to take it back. It's more cost effective to buy new copper than to reclaim already laid material.
He's talking about the fact that all market UI designs are horrible. Top Paid and Top Free lists do not cut it and those are the two categories all of these marketplace/appstores are pivoting the entire user experience off of.
Almost exactly this. There is a slight difference from the Google results as Google suggests have no links to their source.
I find myself considering what would stop the Plaintiff from seeding those suggestions himself?
People know what they're getting into when they flash a custom ROM. 9/10 times it will create a "really bad user experience" whatever that means. It's absurd that Google would hold back honeycomb code because of them. The author is way off base with his guess.
Even though there are ways to be tracked in such a manner across domain, its not accepted. You're just making justifications for hating all of online tracking, including those done by the domain you're visiting. Sites that perform these shady techniques to track your browsing are not smiled upon by the status quo. You're talking about all forms of tracking in your first point, and then justify such a position by presenting techniques usually reserved for use only by porno sites.
This kind of tracking has been happening for ages anyways. If you buy gas with your CC every time, that data can be used to track your travels. Even your licence plate driving past cameras can be used to track you. The point is, you leave cookie crumbs everywhere you go doing everything you do. How does this cookie trail even begin to belong to you? How is it YOUR data? These are the main questions of my original point but you completely dodged them. Instead you chose to attack my intelligence. Bravo Sir.
I don't think I need to explain to you the facts about bandwidth as I assume you're trying somehow to discredit my opinion with that entirely off topic comment; However, you may need to know that slashdot's entire purpose for being are these discussions. You seem to need to be spoon fed this obvious fact though so here comes the airplane open the hanger! VROOOM
When you visit somebodies web server, the information regarding that visit is not your personal property. If you don't want them to record and mine your activities on their website, don't visit that website. Get noscript and live on the internet that way
Thats like walking into a 7/11 and bitching because they're recording you without asking. Its like getting on public transit and bitching at the driver because there are passenger counters installed. Its like going to your local politician up in arms about the traffic counter installed on the road you take home. Frankly, I have no idea what personal data is supposed to mean in this context. You're visiting somebody else's domain. How is a record of that and what you do there, belong to you in any way shape or form?
You're missing the point. They profit off of you every time you use the card. The merchant is charged that cost and their costs are raised in price so that you have the convenience of paying with your card. If you think that using your credit card daily is sticking it to the banks... you're very mistaken. Thats exactly what they want you to do.
You're still taking these words to their extreme positions. Consequences and punishment doesn't have to mean use of force or these shady methods you're talking about. I'm not the one whose talking about parenting their child in this way.
Make the kid do the dishes. Take away their video game. These are punishments and when dealt out with wisdom and fairness will earn your child's respect more than just letting them decide what's best for themselves. Kid's don't know anything about what's best for themselves. It's a parent's responsibility to teach them these things. Consequences are a a necessary tool for the job. Sometimes a kid is going to feel like he wants candy at 10pm. It'll make him feel really bad if you say no. Sucks to be him I say. Welcome to life kid! Sorry you feel bad
I am serious. The only way they learn respect is if you punish them when they test those lines. I'm not talking about tyranical fear. This is just you taking what I said to an extreme position.
Consequences are a fact of reality. Without fear of consequence there is no respect. I guess you just want to protect every child from ever once having a bad feeling:( Aww the children. So sad for them.
Yes. Kids don't listen to authority if there aren't any consequences for not. Kids are smart. It's fear of getting caught that leads them to get into trouble where you're not looking in the first place. If they're able to get caught and punished in ANYTHING they do... then you better believe they'll learn to be smart about things before doing them.
Not true in the least way. You can have very complex programs running behind very simple GUI's. The power of software is not limited to the size of the UI. The user experience of course has to be tailored to each device, but screen size is not a cap on how powerful software can be.

Redhat doesn't charge for the software. They charge for the services and hardware they provide surrounding the software.

How is pointing this out insightful? Its because of the 6 digits isn't it?
This is news to somebody. Nerds perhaps. Isn't that what slashdot is about? Noteworthy events that nerds might find interesting?

Using the idea of having at least one achievement from the game, then shouldn't playing it at a mates house give you that one achievement?
Don't be silly. Bloggers are professional conclusion jumpers. Research and credibility don't pay credence to their business model.
Yahoo isn't a search engine anymore. Bing took over that part for them. They just rebrand the results now a days.
Almost exactly this. There is a slight difference from the Google results as Google suggests have no links to their source. I find myself considering what would stop the Plaintiff from seeding those suggestions himself?

How can you even begin to see this as effective market research? Your sample has ulterior motives. They'll answer whatever gets them the money.
Do I even have to ask why affiliate marketing schemes are on front page of slashdot?
