Listening and doing are two different things. Seems anything anyone proposes in congress anymore turns into a Mexican stand-off. And no one deserves that.
You didn't? I have an xbox 360 (with kinect) and can't play any game I own without the @#4*@ disc in. And that's the reason I bought one. Finding a noCD hack for the PC was sometimes a real PITA. And yes I have a 250g drive and loaded them onto the drive. On the other hand I only have a few games. Just hate the controller. I'm a keyboard kinda guy.
But one would think, with all the screaming out there about playing on a controller the #1 option to work on WOULD be an optional keyboard/mouse.
As far as the xbox1? Don't see any reason to go that route. I use the xbox for streaming and that works well. Gaming? Phhtt.
Exactly. And then the copyright trolls were born. Researching old lyrics, poems, pictures, graphics or whatever. Copyrighting them and then going after anyone who uses them.
I really don't have a problem if the copyright could be reclaimed by the family either. That is, if it's done before the original runs out. I don't have a problem with mickey mouse or whatever since the company is still using it and still being creative with it.
It's really a problem to me that if they STOP using it and the copyright runs out then any pond scum can come along and claim it as their own.
Funny thing is I remember when reel to reel was touted as much better than vinyl. Then CD's were touted as a hundred times cleaner than vinyl or reel to reel. Then dvd's were superior to cd's. (Then everyone used mp3's anyway)
Oh to be sure. There are some trustworthy. Problem is you never know when or if they'll change.:) On the other hand it's "easier" at a registrar since they usually list hints of something that may be compatible to give you some ideas. But again... if they aren't trustworthy it's like giving the site away.
As far as the site not being set up yet... eh... I dunno. Most let you know whether or not it is. And if it is gone but isn't set up yet, no loss. You'll find out when you go to register anyway since it will already be gone.
Actually it does. (or could) Just have a new sequel to the game and dump the old one as obsolete. Forcing one to buy the new game since the old one isn't there anymore.
It's called the cloud. Just say they have reason to believe (insert your favorite could service here) there are pirated programs on it. Get a court order to search thru it... you're toast.
Rule #1. Never use a registrar to search for a domain name you may want. Simply type it in your browser and see if it comes up or not. Then go to a registrar and buy it if you want it.
Really? So all those Datsun dealers I visited years ago selling after market electronics was just a figment of my imagination? If I could go back in time I'd notify them that they had the wrong sign up.
So we get a $500 voice activated remote for the tv. Cool.
Don't really want one.
On the other hand, for those gamers that detest the controller and only game on the PC... why on earth not install a keyboard option? Or are a few million more customers not worth it? I would think that even if the keyboard was proprietary they'd increase sales by a huge margin.
The most annoying thing on the planet is typing on a console/smart phone/tablet keyboard.
Until you need to get to the cloud and it's off line. I guess no one remembers (not long ago) when the google cloud died and folks who had no copy on their own machine lost it all. Cloud may be fine for a backup but when it's all you have it's a problem. Ask those who bought the latest simcity.
I have my own servers so that's where I back up to. And folks who "back up" and then delete the files on their own machine... aren't backing up. They're just making a copy. Backup is a copy in more than one location.
But again, until they come up with a keyboard option... I see no reason to upgrade just to (in my case) stream video. I can do that with the 360.
It's moving everything into the cloud? That worked out well for simcity. So I guess they force you into paying for live as well.
I have a 360 w/konect but only use it for streaming video. Hate playing with controllers.
Not to mention typing on one is a real blast./sarcasm.
And STILL no keyboard control? It seems to me they could pull tons of users in if they just add keyboard control. With all the console haters out there just that one addition would instantly kill off the competition.
Yep. I use the CS6 web suite. But I don't use/need everything. PS, ILL and dreamweaver essentially. Upgrade... $375. So if I want them individually... $60 a month. But the whole package for $50. That means I have access to a dozen or so other progs I'll never use. YAY!!! Cloud? WTF for? Just throwing that in as a marketing tool.
Adobe has always been a company I loved to hate. That's turned to love to detest.
Will they get enough complaints to reverse it? I doubt it. This plan will likely increase their cash flow astronomically even if they lose half their box buying customers.
Switching to the GIMP? That's like going from a Ferrari to a soap box car.
Had a Mac. Detested it. The prob with windows is that it's getting more and more mac like every day. MS seems to be looking at mac sales and thinking that's the way to go. Not realizing that Jobs is dead. He was the driving for and marketing genius behind mac. Look at them now. While still a powerhouse they're beginning to stumble without Jobs.
If they do put the start button back I have to wonder what will be there. Just shut down / restart? Not what people are really missing. If they don't put all the features that were in the start button... well, they don't have a clue as to how bad that screw up was.
Never worked for me. For anything. If you can tolerate aspirin there's no contest. Excedrin will kill a headache in 10 minutes for me. Tylenol... about 10 weeks. On the other hand, it will help with pain. If I take the whole bottle. With all the nausea and vomiting from an overdose I never notice the pain I took it for.

Too soon to say. She's really pissed about the whole deal.
On a Cray.

Exactly. While saving lives is a good thing, what it will lead to in the future is quite horrifying.
Unless you're a billionaire... money. And perhaps language.
Ah, but you would need to search for used parts. If not, you would be building a new car. Seems we have ourselves a conundrum.
Absolutely. And just because the gov already admitted it only means the gov is now lying. And that's been common knowledge for at least decades now.

Years ago we would call this communism. Strange how language changes. Orwell would be proud.

Now... we're back to vinyl.
Gotta love marketing.

Yeah. IF you did the (recommended) clean install yer kinda screwed. But if you did a simple upgrade, all your old desktop folders are there.
Thing is, if you want to add another app you already have to your desktop... I'm lost. Never could find a way to do that without the start menu.
Hell, he can take a toysRus plastic gun and modify it for a fraction of the price.
