Let's translate the OP's question: I have this insecure by design environment, while there are more secure by design environments available (yeah, probably not completely secure, but much more secure than what I'm using now). I'd like to patch my grossly insecure environment to get at least an illusion of security instead of considering the alternatives.
OCZ's reliability aside, why no 1Tb model? Believe it or not, I need most of the space for work purposes (huge source trees, virtual machines etc). A drive that just fits my OS wouldn't help at all.
But the client's browser is not likely to have the company's certificate as trusted, so they still have to accept an unknown certificate. Just not the device's, but the manufacturer's. Do you think average joe would actually verify his printer's certificate for authenticity?:) This is only likely to happen in a large corporate network.
School all year round with NO breaks. Also, give grades according to the number of overtime hours the kids stay in school, not according to what they manage to learn. You want all A-s, better spend 90 hours per week in school - you can even do 120 if you sleep under your desk and are careful when you shower.
Imagine a world in which your wristwatch or other wearable device communicates directly with your online profiles, storing information about your daily activities where you can best access it – all without requiring batteries.
Even if it doesn't require batteries, why would I want to have an online profile updated with what I've shat today?
... put the PS4 designers in charge of all their product lines. And maybe the ones doing the mobile phones, which aren't bad for cheap Androids. And fire all the rest.
Yeah but those kinds of games tend to show up on PC on humble bundle, steam or gog later... for 1.99:) Or even on console - check out the disc for Journey Collector's edition on Amazon. It actually contains Journey, Flower and Flow.
Not with this pricing model. PSA: On consoles, it's much cheaper to buy retail discs than to touch any form of digital-only delivery. Especially if you're willing to wait a few months from launch, but even if you buy the latest and greatest(tm).
Exactly - you can, like in the US, get a free/reduced price phone with an X year contract if you want. All the carriers would be happy to sell you one. There are two differences: one, when the X years end, they MUST unlock your formerly subsidized phone for an insignificant fee (i think i paid 10 euros last time). Two, you don't have to get a subsidized phone. There are 5 million places that would happily sell you a new, carrier free phone to use with any GSM carrier. The carriers are also required to unlock phones not attached to a contract for free - i.e. if you pay full price, it has to be unlocked - but no one's crazy enough to buy a full price phone from them, any other store would be cheaper:)
Because where I live carriers are obligated by law to unlock any phone not tied to a contract for free, and one tied to a contract for a minimal fee as soon as the contract is up. The legality of firmware modifications isn't even talked about, this is a consumer protection requirement.
... what will happen to those incapable of efficient work?:) At least this way they can do unpaid overtime and convince their boss - who's also incapable of efficient work - that they're useful...
...but do not buy from Creative. They're overpriced crap with dubious driver support - the last card worth buying from them was maybe the AWE32? Also, you need to have real speakers. And if you have a real amp to go with those speakers, it probably has SPDIF and you don't need a discrete sound card:)
Sadly, the competition (Asus Xonar for example) only cares about Windows as well, so they're out of the question.
Any game that has launch day DLC, be it preorder bonus crap or not, I will only buy - IF i bother - when they release the "GOTY edition" with all the content included, at half the price. Or maybe I'll wait till said edition goes on sale at 75% off:) If you're impatient and want to have a game at launch, your (monetary) loss.
To restrict Russian citizen's access to about 90% of the internet. Yes, the big names might hire servers and staff in Russia... and cooperate with the Russian government. But the smaller organizations? No way in hell they can afford that. It's mostly another form of the Great Firewall of China.
... about the ones Symantec doesn't know about. Also, I don't remember Symantec doing anything useful since like, forever. I remember them for purchasing Norton Utilities and turning them into a bloated mess. Should we trust them on this, or is their marketing department manufacturing a threat?:)
... just use a cheap USB cable from a cheap charger that only has the GND and 5V wires to save costs:) No data exchange will be possible. Might still be good to disinfect it after each use.

Wish i had mod points... it summarizes my thoughts about modern C++ exactly.

... that doesn't run Facebook?
Otherwise, no buy.
Hmm question. When you develop for the ARM surfaces, do you compile with gcc/llvm or they have some custom compiler?

... labeling all games with IAPs as rentals and displaying the average cost of being able to keep playing... per hour or something like that?
Let me guess, an american who has never seen public transport :)
Hint: the OP is talking about in-city transportation.
... but I stopped looking for new apps (well, i was getting mostly games) for iOS because there's simply too much free to play shit.
Additional note: opticians don't even wear contacts, just glasses!
There might be a reason?

You should get a Brave New World quote, but I'm too lazy to look for an appropriate one.
