Why would you want a display connected to the internet? It makes no sense. Just don't connect it the internet and you're done. Hell, do you actually *need* it connected to your private network at all? Will it make movies look better, or have *any* advantage?
It's just crap that people want because of good marketing, not anything that they really need anyway.
Ultimately, when Shepard was able to track down Cerberus Headquarters, the Illusive Man was absent for the Alliance assault. Video logs found on the station show that the Illusive Man allowed himself to be implanted with Reaper-derived nanotechnology. He later appears before Shepard as a hologram, and tells Shepard that Cerberus will never be destroyed, claiming it to be an idea, not just an organization.
There's several computers aboard the Cerberus HQ on your way around, with several vid-logs of this, as well as EDI's creation and Shepard's resurection, IIRC.
An interesting choice. But the Android market is too crowded already, I'm not sure how well off they'd be. Though we do agree on one thing: better than with WP.
Seriously, is it that hard to understand that not everyone works the same way?
That's exactly the point! With windows7's wm, gnome2, mac os x's WM, compiz, or most other popular WMs, you can: 1) have 1 (or 2) windows ocupy the whole screen 2) have 20 windows opupy the whoel screen.
Well, they could create a simple and easy-to-use UI for average joe. You know, network mounting the phones FS is quite useful: it helps me copy files to the phone. AFAIK, you need to physically connect Android phones to the computer is order to copy files. With a cable. I actually laughed at the idea.
It still sold more, and at full price, even though nokia did not advertise it, and everyone knew it was a platform they were killing. If nokia decided to resurrect N900/N9/Maemo/Meego, they'd be way better of than any other alternative.
What was wrong with expo/desktop-cube/all-the-other-compiz-virtual-desktop-modes? You just said you use it in Gnome3, but I don't see what was wrong with previous alternatives.
That's just BS designers like to spill all the time. Most PC users *will* have more than one thing visible:
An IRC or IM on one side, where I can glance at what being written/etc. Some filecopy/transfer or alike on another side. Some download in progress, or something alike. Documentation relevant to what I'm doing Music player? The *main* window.
Only "professional" has encryption? So non-professional users don't mind strangers getting acces to 100% of their PC if they loose it/some gets physical acces to it etc?
No private photos, personal email, anything?
Really, I don't understand how you could even consider a not-fully-encrypted OS in 2012.
So, you're point is that you miss part of the game (the "good ending"), if you deliberately skip (miss) most of the game?
I don't know any ME fans that don't do all the non-main missions either. If someone cares about the action and skips though most of the game, I dont think that person would mind if he/she can pick all the endings, since he/she didn't care about any of the story before.
Well yeah, essential thing *should* be made part of the core. Hell, have you tried browsing the web without flashblock? Flash eating all you CPU all the time with ads, sounds comming from background tabs you can't find, etc, etc.
In some cases, it *is* more effiecient too, imagine writing something that connects to an API, registers a callback, etc, vs doing something in-core. If done properly, a minor efficienty improvement might be seen.
Finally, flashblock is ugly, the icon is horrible streched all the time! I want thing pretty!!:P
*Really*? Don't you know how to use google? It's wasn't *one developer* on *one annoucement*, it was lots of 'em. I even came across a website with a list of inconsistencies between annoucements/press releases/etc and the final product we payed for, and pretty expensive, BTW.
nope, you are absolutely wrong about this. in the control ending, what we're arguing about, the citadel does not blow up. as it sends out the blue energy field on earth to take control of the reapers, you can clearly see the citadel as the source of the blast, it's not being blown up as it obviously does in the synthesis or destroy endings. after the reapers leave, the next scene shows each of the tips of the citadel come together and close up.
the control ending explosion starts at 23:38. you can see the extant citadel at 25:13.
Ooops, my bad, he actually desintegrates into thin air as clearly seen on that video on that ending. Guess that makes much more sense. Wonder what that rubble was, and we he re-integrated there.
I had never paid attention that the citadel closes on both Control endings though, thanks for pointing that out.
The Illusive man was part cyborg because of the operation he underwent on that base where you kill Mirada's dad (can't recall the name).
can you show me what you mean? i don't remember TIM looking anything like he did at the end on the citadel at any other point in the game.
I'm not sure if it was a) On the mission you rescue Miranda from her father on (can't-recall-planet's-name). b) The raid to Cerberus' HQ
There are several terminals along the way, you can see them doing different types of experiments on people, becoming husk-like and stuff. On the last video, you can see The Illusive Man talking to a scientist about experimenting on himself and undergoing "the treatment".
I must say, I very much agree on everything you just said, it has been so in my case as well. Additionally, you need to understand a bit more on how computers work to *really* understand C - ie: memory, cpu, and a couple more low-level things.

I seriously doubt this: Netflix isn't available in most countries outside USA, an I'm pretty sure Asia adds up far more traffic than USA.
I did say: Android would still a better alternative (vs WP).

Metro only offers choice 1.

I can ssh and network-mount my N900 out-of-the-box.
Android/WP don't even have ssh by default, and I sure as hell can't use sshfs on them that easily.

That would be true if and only if you delete all the other trusted roots, and just leave your own as trusted.
You're still running firefox 11? That's sooooo mid-march!!
As if any sane person would trust a MS product to do their real backups anyway.

Actually, you can achieve all seven endings without playing MP. I did the synergy ending without playing MP at all.
This does seem sort of what LightTable seems to be aiming at, actually.

RTFA, it will allow both online and offline operation.
There's no such thing as a java script. Java is not a scripting language.
Came here to say exactly that. Looks like their intention is to integrate the functionality into firefox itself.
