Nope, the dialog is presented during the Windows installation, which is done by the end-user in very few cases, since most people don't install windows themselves.
And MS has no business imposing a setting onto the user when the user did not explicit set. The standard does specify that the user needs to set the setting. While MS claims that one can change this during the windows installation, average users don't install windows themselves, but have someone else install it for them. There also millons of scenarios where several people share a same computer; in which case, at most one user runs the windows installation.
In plenty of countries white boxes dominate the home and SOHO market share but over 90%. I've yet to see a single person who uses branded desktop computers, and I've worked as home tech-support, cibercafes, and plenty of other places.
I don't see then "being there" anytime soon either. Any hardware can be emulated, it's just a matter of how much resources the crackers can put into it - it doesn't have to be a basement geek, it could very much be china/NSA/KGB/wharever.
Most of these words are not linux-specific, though they are rather technical. It's what you'd expect on the release of a new kernel version, especially on slashdot.
Why did they forbid asking for password only to social media? They could have stated "any personal account", so as to include email, and lots of other things. It's like they deliberately left out an equally important privacy issue.
It's not really "Linux support", but rather Ubuntu support. A huge disappointment for long-time *nix users/power-users, who, generally, don't use Ubuntu.
I've never ever seen anyone use MapQuest. In my particular case, our city provides an excelent map which has streets and plenty of other data better than any vendor (including Google Maps). It also includes subways, which no other map includes. Regrettably, it's limited to just the city and nothing else.
Sounds like Sprint did some changes to your phone, try setting it back to factory default. I'm pretty sure no mobiles include "Sprint Maps" out-of-the-box.
AFAIK, android apps are javaish, so it's mostly bytecode, not native code, so you don't have to emulate a processor, but mainly re-implement the API. In any case, Bluestacks isn't an emulator.
I'm rather suprised that this is windows only (Android actually uses the Linux kernel) - it's much harder to port to a completely different OS and different kernel, than it is to port to another OS with an almost-identical kernel.

So the ISP can change the DNT flag when the HTTP request passes through their hardware, right?
The problem is browsers like Firefox have (as is usual for them) chosen to ignore the wishes of users and opt people in to tracking by default.

Why can't I mod this article/story flamebait?
So, that means I can only use a single device?
I can't share any computers either?

It only involves receiving a SMS, and landlines in plenty of places can do this.
Most Ultrabooks really, like the Dell XPS 2012, or Toshiba Portabe z835.
It's 2X if you skip purchasing windows ;)

"Sales"? What sales? The F in "FOSS" stands for free.

Support for Ubuntu 12.04 and above

Desure is an excelent comparison - though without the bonus DRM.

OSM is a huge player too. Foursquare uses OSM data, and IIRC, MapQuest does too.

Sorry, let me rephrase:
"I think you mean an Android/iOS smartphone. I'm not sure how the rest looses privacy by having a smartphone."

And who are the good guys?
