Don't know, we are already sending information about all bank transactions to the US. A local shop in Denmark had their credit transactions cancelled by the US because they bought Cuban cigars from a company in Germany to sell in their own shop. Which is perfectly legal.
People think they just can call without warning and I then am happy to spend the entire evening helping them. YES! that was just what I wanted to do, sit all evening with a remote console. Even when i drive for half a day to visit family, they think i will want to spend the evening, alone, in their homeoffice fixing something.
Worst thing though is that they always expect that i want to do it for free.
Then days after, they call i and claim that something stopped working because i had "tampered" with their machine.
I stopped helping people some time ago. When people called, i just had no solution to their problem. It became easier when Vista came out since, i dropped windows at XP, so I can say without lying that I have never owned a Vista or windows 7 installation. (and at work we still use XP on our desktops with no sign of changing that)
What did I get out of it, all those days wasted helping people. Nothing at all.
In 15 years, you are expected to buy it again this time an version ported to the console in use at that time. The whole DRM thing, made me give up gaming on the PC(starforce made my hw look defective and i ended up buying new HW i didnt need) and lately I have given up on console also. Mostly because the have gotten the clever idea to sell a game at 110$(local price converted to $) which is only half the game. The rest you have to buy via DLC, so it is locked to you account or console and the resell value of the game is lower.
And it is not really any worse than the official sex games in the itunes store(google them yourself). So I don't see the problem. Apple are just being up to their usual American bashful behaviour.
(I have an iPhone, although the removal of wifiscanning programs i used for work might make me consider something else)
but now it is getting darker earlier than before because the time is moved back and not forward. I would have been happier if it had stayed the same so it would be light for a longer time.
Just as Google won't allow devices like my WD TV Live to show Youtube videoes in HD. But with the special WDLXTV firmware, I can see the clips just fine in HD. (I think it redirects requsts through Apache to rewrite the requests) Not that I really watch much on Youtube but I find it annoying that i couldn't watch the few videoes I wanted to see, in HD, when I knew they were available.
Yes it actually was worse, the first was silly but I saw about 20 minutes of the second while on a cross atlantic flight, before I could not take any more and decided to take a nap instead. Perhaps if you are a hormone ridden teenager it was quite titillating?
I agree, I also have a airport extreme i use for all of these things, including routing to the internet since my ADSL is just a modem (horray). Unlike my ZyXEL which failed with 50+ connections open and my Linksys which just had to be powercycled now and then, my airport extreme just sits there and requires no attention, reboots slowdowns etc. I don't even think it is that expensive for what it is doing.
Whine whine whine whine. It is getting old. Don't you think the users buying those phones are quite aware of that now. And it is not like we don't have proper alternatives by now.
I admit it is really scary that the average user just want computers and gadets that works together well without the need to have any technical knowledege at all, and for the average user, the limits are nothing compared to getting the average phone to sync properly with windows or navigating through the eel infested waters of the internet safely without getting vira etc. Even some HTC phones with android have been terrible with unstable windows drivers and I have spent more than one evening fixing other peoples computers, so that they could do something that should be Plug'n'Play 10 years ago(syncing their Hero phone with XP).
Oh yeah, making fun of a ravin lunatic is really flamebait. Come on, the whole article is a joke. If any company outsourced anything to North Korea they should be on trial for dealing with the enemy.
I feel sorry for the people in North Korea but their leader(s) does not deserve a helping hand.

Lasers are used underground to determine the location. If there are turns, mirrors are used.
lol omg. it worked.
I find that passwords like "Linuxrox4ever" are very secure. havn't had a problem with that one yet.
Never heard of it.
Well, if people are installing warez or free programs without some background check, they are asking for it.
Or Snoopy Poopy Poop Dog or the enema man.

How many times can people continue this inane dribble.
wah wah wah iphone is closed and baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad wah wah wah.
Don't you think we all have heard everything so far and made our decision on what we prefer?
Is it just me or is the fake background noise just a short loop?
Indeed, half of the apps out there could have been done in just html. Sometimes all they do is open webpages.

Epic win is closer in GH than real life, you know. :)

I think it has something to do with explosions.

Otherwise if you don't want to pay, learn how to do it yourself.
(no i dont work for Best Buy, or even live in a country where they exist)
On my vacation to Turkey, I saw solar panels for heating water on every rooftop in the city.

But sadly in many parts of the EU,the price are more close to $0.50/kWh.

would have liked to see the pacman game, the other I tried looked like the ones we made in public school.
