Of course not. They'll just push it on more and more people, wait until "we forget the whole" matter, then they'll make the "/. classic" button smaller, then they'll hide it somewhere deep and then they'll just shut it off claiming "no one was using it anyway".
Now it's the time for boycott! They have to get rid of the whole new design and maybe make some *small* changes to this one (like Unicode and disable the f*#^% autorefresh).

This applies to nobody using that "feature". The only target for "sharing what I played" is children/teenagers who want their classmates to see how "great" they are. Facebook is the obvious solution.
Don't underestimate the weirdness of the young ones.
For many of them the pleasure of bragging about their "skills" in some game is greater than the pleasure of playing the game itself.
Taking the option to go to the police station is often a good bet if you are near the limit
No it's not. Usually you start driving shortly after you drank. Some alcohol is still beeing digested and until you arrive at the police station your blood alcohol percentage will be higher than when you are stopped.
I really don't care about Samsung or Apple (I am the proud owner of a ~$150 smartphone which can do all the "smart" stuff - do calls, display stuff like browser or calendar on the screen, etc... and it's going to stay that way until someone sells a phone that smart enough that it can make me a nice meal and give me a blowjob afterwards)
But I don't understand the logic in Samsung's statement:
- benchmarks usually warn you that they stress and potentially harm your hardware.
- Samsung white-lists benchmarks (and "other apps") for "best user experience" - so the "user experience" running a benchmark would be "whoa, my new phone is burning, but fuck, yeah, Samsung, thank you very much for letting me see the great Mhz. number of my display before I had to buy a new $500 exploding toy"
tldr; In my opinion, *limiting* the clock for targeted benchmarks would be the better choice.

Boycott!
listen or act on our concerns.

Have a nice weekend and see you back on February 17th! ;)
See you all back on February 17!
Who do you want to put in jail, DICE or the ./ moderators? Or all?

Well, depends on how good your COBOL skills are.

Yeah, pornography ain't good for your children. So we'll filter wikileaks for you too.
