One real problem is once you "upgrade" to Windows 10 from say Windows 7 - there is no going back Having checked it out on their website, My Windows 7 copy is no longer registrable.
The free program Advanced Tokens Manager allows you to back up your activation and reapply it at as many times as you want.
Too bad you're getting modded down and I don't have any mod points to give you a boost. What folks don't realize is that their point may be valid but that language and tone will cause their post to be skipped over or dismissed. Without those four words I would have moderated the GP insightful.
That's a valid opinion, but it's a line of thinking that can get people in over their head. The article mentioned $30 a year. I dumped Comcast's $7 / mo. modem for my own. $7 a month is still kind of a big wup, but that's $84 year. Both together are $114 a year. Still not a bank-breaker for me but I'd rather spend my money stupidly somewhere else then hand it to Comcast and get no benefits in return. My work Aruba router is on a timer. Mostly to keep yet another WiFi network out of my house, but a little cost savings here and there adds up.
Comcast isn't forcing anyone to buy anything so these comparisons are apples (upper tier of TV / Internet / phone) and oranges (Internet). With Comcast I have fast Internet for around $50 plus their $15 lowest tier cable TV. Their modem was $7 / mo. so I bought my own. I'd cancel the cable TV except by doing that my Internet would be priced $15 more a month. Bottom line I'm paying about $70 for Internet plus some TV.
So when Apple's proprietary encryption software suffered a problem, Apple users could do nothing but wait for Apple to deliver a fix; there's nobody else that are allowed to fix Apple's proprietary software but Apple. And when that fix ostensibly arrived, Apple users had to hope it wasn't bundled with some malware too (as is often in proprietary software).
I shouldn't feed the troll, but Apple released the patch and simultaneously announced the issue so there was no waiting. IIRC the trusted jailbreak community had a patch the next day. As to the rest of your rant, if you're trying to glamorize non-proprietary software by comparing it's benefits to someone technical vs. my six year old using her iPod then you really don't have much of an argument. And to those people who may have known about this and fixed it without telling anyone (which puzzles me why you made that an example of why non-proprietary software is better): FU you selfish bastards.
Yes. And we don't have to worry about Trojan anymore. But now that I think about it the containment wessel was shipped to Hansford and buried. It would be a real bitch to see that thing floating back downriver.
Actually, "bring it on". Bonneville (one of the five dams below it) generates a considerable amount of power for my area. On the other hand, we'll need that water this summer if we don't get more snowpack in the mountains.
This is what I keep coming back to. You have to initially turn on (log into) iMessage to start using it. And there are complaints because you have to log out for the service to stop working? And this is a lock-in strategy? Wow.

Once his statue is complete Woz will be on display next to Steve Jobs in San Francisco
Still a better love story than Twilight.
The next message is, "Sorry I am late but I met this girl..."
V'Ger? She's kind of a bitch.
Does it matter?
You must have missed the "Out of pure curiosity".
True. For businesses, you have to turn to IBM and Lotus Notes to get your walled garden.
Nice try and laughable to folks who are knowledgeable about Domino / Lotus Notes.
Then why do all the TVs over 50 inches include it?
Not true.

This isn't about freedom, it's an example of "For the People".
He didn't get a shot of the ice helicopter shattering at the end.
Microsoft makes him an offer he can't refuse and he wakes up with a penguin head in his bed.
No thanks.
On the other hand, paying 84 people for 6 years will do very little for the economy by itself
Strippers and fast food restaurants disagree.
Holy tongue twister Batman!

Apple was already mentioned so it's another Slashdot Hat Trick.

beer?
No, free as in bend over.
You keep saying "keep it contained". It's not contained yet. "Step 1: Contain it." See the difference?
apple software has "bugs".
It's a glitch.
And the Bobs fixed it.
iOS apps cope with being denied permissions. Why can't Android apps?
it's about the quality of the program / programmer regardless of the platform.
