I hadn't considered this - it would be more practical than the previous suggestion, since my current router doesn't have a custom firmware available for it.
I've wanted this for a while. It would be more ideal if it were something that could be incorporated into a router, so that I don't need another device, but I'm sick of seeing adverts on my tablet.
When you use adblock and noscript, the full page including all scripts and adverts still arrives at your browser. The unwanted content is stripped out before you see it, but you're still paying for it on your usage allowance.
Maybe because he doesn't believe in spending money on paid solutions when the free one is adequate? I think that for a lot (if admittedly not all) uses, ODF and Libre Office are adequate.
They will get a job somewhere else. Possibly working for themselves, or possibly working for someone with a less restrictive hiring policy. They will do just fine, thanks.
It's the employer who rejected them who is missing out.
FLAC is only lossless when compared with the CD. If the new format can capture higher quality from the master recordings than is possible on CD then maybe it's worth it to some people.
Personally, since I'm a bit deaf in one ear, I'll stick with MP3s. I doubt I can hear any difference.
I'm still not convinced there was any benefit to the digital switchover for TV. The picture quality is worse in many cases, and the extra channels are nothing I couldn't get over satellite/cable anyway.
I interviewed at a couple of places that do this. One was even worse. They actually place a limit on the amount of time in a day when you can be away from your phone using that button. After that you be counted as just AWOL.
They also had another button for 'personal time' but that was limited too. The other place would permit unlimited 'personal time' or 'bathroom break' but they would be tracking it and anyone who used too much would get a talking to.
They were both completely open and upfront about how their systems worked.
It only works on routers supplied by the BT Group to business customers, and can be disabled by the customer. In addition, some BT public phones (payphones) are part of the OpenZone WiFi network.
You have to pay for access, and the speeds are pretty poor. Almost unusable for even the most basic of browsing in my experience.
I didn't pay a single penny for the PSN. It's a free service. I paid for games which are available to buy from the PSN. I would like to hope that Sony would take some measures to guard against hacking, but there's no such thing as perfect security. They are hardly the only major organization to be hacked lately. The first several times it happened I was more angry with (what I now see as...) the victims, but then I realized that anonymous won't stop until they get what they want... which is teh lulz of course.
I don't pay Sony anything for the safety of my data. Not a single unit of negotiable currency. I pay them for products I've purchased. That aside, yes I do actually blame the people doing the stealing rather than those who were stolen from. Funny that.
Did I say I'd be the one to spank them? I believe that I did not. I said they need a good spanking. I did not add (though perhaps should have) that it should be from their parent, guardian or other authority figure in their life.
It also doesn't need to be an actual, physical spanking. Taking away their computers for a month ought to be more than sufficient of a metaphorical spanking, and quite appropriate since they haven't learned to use them like adults.
I understand perfectly well. Anonymous fucked me over because they thought it was funny. They posted my details online. There is absolutely zero proof anyone else has hacked into the PSN.
Honestly? I'm not really dissatisfied with what I've bought from Sony. I'm a little dissatisfied with some of their business choices, but the games I've bought are fine thanks. I happen to actually like them. I didn't do anything wrong by buying them, no matter what you and those like you want to claim.
If I'm deprived of them by any illegal action of Anonymous, then I expect to get them back at some future time. If you actually believe in what you wrote in your final paragraph, you're by far a bigger fool than I.
Get off the high horse. I bought products and services. People do that. Anonymous are just being out-and-out criminals, hope all of them get arrested and sent to PITA prison.
It's the language of a child who wants attention. He screams, he shouts, he throws his toys at things. He doesn't know any better, but his parents at least should keep him away from computers until he's old enough to learn not to be a dick.
Not. Thanking. Anonymous. As far as I'm concerned, they are assholes and petulant children who need a good spanking. I wish they'd grow up and start doing something different.
Yes! They want to make account holders feel fear for the security of their credentials. What else could possibly be the purpose of this attack? Well, other than 'teh lulz' of course.
Fuck anonymous. Fuck them hard.
I'm not in the least thankful to anonymous. I'm angry at them for being at least twice as troublesome as most of the evil they claim to fight. They are petulant children who need to stop annoying people, now please. Or failing that, they could at least stick to Scientologists.
It's not as though I can exactly take my data out of their hands without depriving myself of the things I already purchased, is it? I'm effectively stuck with Sony, and Anonymous aren't helping the situation for me.
Sony aren't exactly my favourite company in the world, but I was already into them for a big chunk of change before any of this idiotic nonsense by anonymous ever started or had reason to.

What do you know? More about grammar than the Slashdot editors, for one. Regardless of your native language, I think you're correct about this point.

That's a nice idea but the summary makes it fairly obvious that the idea is for this technology to be included in cable boxes in the future.

Who in their right mind would use the Windows Store anyway?

That's actually a perfectly reasonable point. I'm not convinced that you suffer when I fund Sony, but in principle it's a perfectly reasonable point.

Oh shit, some clear and rational thinking? Wasn't expecting that.
Came into topic expecting usual Sony hatefest.
Leaving partially disappointed.
Sounds like anonymous to me. Sociopaths.
