He already has been. The result here is that the federal government is more transparent than it has ever been before. It's not as open as some of us would like. Still, it's definitely a huge improvement over previous administrations.
If the full (playable, obviously) game's not on a torrent site somewhere, it's probably just a publicity stunt. Yes, the hackers could be looking to blackmail Ubisoft, but there's really no point. It's not like the game's not going to eventually end up on some torrent site after release anyway. All Ubisoft would have to do is ignore the hackers and change the game a bit here and there maybe add some more levels or whatnot, tweak the ending, and call that final.
Or why their "always on" DRM doesn't give them enough control nip this in the bud. Unless, of course, they don't add the DRM until just before it goes to market, because it makes it too much of a PITA to develop/test with (but not enough of a PITA that consumers can't be expected to put up with it, naturally)
Customers will always be expected to put up with DRM. That is, until customers stop buying DRM software AND companies somehow equate the DRM as being the cause. Even if the former were to happen, the company would probably find some other thing to blame for low sales figures.
Get a live cd and a computer without a hard drive for guests. Power cycle it when you switch guests. Problem solved. If they want to save something they can stick their own usb device in and infect it all they want. They just have to take that usb device with them when they're done.
How about we stop it with the nanny-state crap and FUD about online and have parents -gasp- parent? You know, like tell you kids basic stuff like don't give out addresses online, don't go meet people online, etc. This will be a never ending battle, anytime a kid does something stupid and gets hurt because of it people will petition the government to "do something" and slowly the internet gets regulated to death.
Seriously, how hard is it to tell your kid don't tell someone where you are and don't meet them?
Most adults can't even get these things right. Especially when it comes to things like geotagged images from a cellphone. They're going to teach kids things they don't know how to do? Righteous!
The reality is most people don't even know stuff like that is included in photo metadata. For that matter, most people probably have never even heard of metadata.
Where in the world do you live?
Here, people would drive to the book cases, fetch all the books, and sell them on eBay, used book stores or thrift stores. And not even feel that they did anything morally wrong.
Yep, pretty sure that would happen here too (Florida, USA).
Guise of convenience? I'm pretty sure they really are more convenient, my room is rather small and I do a lot of traveling, I can easily break the DRM on my books so that I have backups, but with paperbooks, I'd never be able to keep as many of them.
It's easy to say greedy publishers, and to an extent they are, but unless you're in the habit of buying used books or live in a huge house, you're going to have to get rid of them over time anyways, but with ebooks, you won't likely ever hit that point.
With a licensed ebook you don't have the option of reselling it. When you're done with those paper books, you can resell them and recoup some of your cash. If it weren't for getting screwed on your resale rights, I'd be on board. If the ebooks were like 50% cheaper than print it might be worth giving up on the resale rights. Unfortunately the ebooks I've looked at were the same or more expensive than printed books.
Er, that likely means they'll be on WP9. How long will Google update Android 3.x or even 4.0?
Trololol samzenpuss, trololol.
Especially since MS has come out and said that all wp8 devices will be upgradable to wp9. It even says as much on TFA linked in TFS. Way to deliberately mislead readers, samzenpus. There's a career in politics somewhere out there for you.
So where's the iOS version of firefox? Or firefox for the Kindle?
Talk to the boys in cupertino about FF for iOS. Cupertino doesn't allow other browsers than webkit. What we've got here is failure to communicate. Some companies you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way Apple users want it...well, they get it. I don't like it any more than you might.
That's great if you only read your feeds from one machine. I use five (home PC running Windows and Opera, Android Tablet running Chrome, Android Tablet running Dolphin, Work PC running Windows and Firefox, and remote BSD account on which I websurf using Lynx. Yes, goddamnit, Lynx.)
A web-based RSS reader is necessary if you use multiple machines and OSes.
Actually Firefox has a sync feature which synchronizes bookmarks. It treats RSS feeds as "live" bookmarks, and synchronizes them the same way. It works on Windows (or winders as we call it in the south), osX, Linux, and Android. You can't beat lynx, though.
Firefox is all you need. You also eliminate the need for a second program to do what amounts to having "live" bookmarks. Get it, eliminate chrome and reader in one fell swoop.
Maybe you should go back to driving school. You're supposed to adapt your driving style to road conditions! If you can't break for a red light, you're doing something wrong, either by speeding or by not paying attention.
Maybe you should get a grip on reality. People are not perfect, nor are most of them professional drivers. In short, they make mistakes. Even professional drivers make mistakes. In most cases a mistake like this would not be a big deal.
I'm sure the newspaper articles are right and that Whitehead did fly. However what definition of "fly" were they using?
With the 20 HP motor, Whitehead probably had no problem lifting off the ground at least a few feet. The people watching would've been excited and certainly would've told others that they saw a machine fly.
But are we talking about sustained, controllable flight here? Or just hovering in ground effect in a straight line? Look at the picture with the bat wings and tell me -- if you know anything about aerodynamics at all -- what would've happened the first time that thing banked into a turn.
I heard it didn't even onboard wifi. Is flying without internet access really flying?

Correct. You can use a bitcoin exchange to convert real money into fake currency as well.
I can't wait to receive my new ipad, it's almost that time of the month.

I like cool ranch flavoring myself.
And was I supposed to have one?
Only if you haven't taken your viagra.

Amen Brother! Tell it like it is!
Good thing we have Microsoft to fight against such totalitarian overreach. Freedom from choice! Freedom from excess money! Freedom!
Actually, MS is not excluded here. Nothing's stopping them from releasing their products as open source. Well, nothing other than greed.

As for kindle, you can download FF for kindle from the ftp here: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/15.0/android/multi/fennec-15.0.multi.android-arm.apk It used to be available from the amazon store but the Mozilla team pulled it because Amazon modified the apk! I think it only works on Kindle fire HD.

Absolutely - but I suspect this is in the 8%. And their cheese isn't bad either.
They make good fries and toast! While many slashdotters have not tried it, their kiss ain't too shabby either.
If he'd leaked to NYT then nobody would have read the cables at all because the site is paywalled.

Here's a "low hanging fruit" example. The average consumer on android could run a different web browser if they wanted to. It's common enough practice that it's definitely in the realm of average consumer activities. http://apple.slashdot.org/story/13/03/10/1527255/no-firefox-for-ios-says-mozillas-product-head
And it's my right to take my business elsewhere.
Yes, I believe that was his intent.
The exotic situation is ice or snow on the street.
Or water or sand or anything else other than street.

How is the iPad "restricted" compared to a Kindle? (since that's obviously what you're alluding to)
I assumed he was comparing it to android. Which, although imperfect, is certainly more open than iOS. Apple touts "closed" as some sort of a feature.
