The windows vulnerability was on the current version 8.1 that is actively supported. The bug found on android is in a no longer supported version. This is not the same thing.
I don't have a ps4. So thanks for the assumptions. I was simply pointing out that others will have their vacations inadvertently affected due to these actions due to no actions of their own. So thanks for making your tone into some attack against me when this situation won't even affect me. GG. I'm allowed to have concern for others without having a personal stake in the matter.
Only users on the playstations require Sony's servers to be up since you have to log in to PSN to get online. If you play on the PC you don't need PSN what-so-ever. So no FFXIV is not reliant on Sony.
Get over yourself. People get off for the holidays and they want to enjoy them. This is a prime way people enjoy there break when they might be completely snowed in or it's too shitty outside. The fact that you look down on video games doesn't change the fact that this attack does nothing but punish innocent users who simply want to relax and play their systems.
The sick sad part of this is that they think they are fighting the corporate power or something, but in reality all they will be doing is ruining Christmas vacation for many gamers everywhere.
Aren't we already in a human caused mass extinction? How many life forms have been wiped off the planet in the last 2000 years? Faster than the natural rate I'm sure, and it's ongoing.
"In that case, WB admitted that it filed a bunch of false takedowns, but said it was no big deal because it was all done by a computer."
Tell that to all those people who lost their homes due to robosigning.
I'm starting to get tired of this Thomas Edison comparison that I read from time to time. Thomas Edison's inventions inventions fundamentally changed the human condition. Specifically the light bulb. Suddenly the entire human race can get a lot done inside larger indoor spaces and at night where previously limited lighting prevented many activities. The iPhone did not in anyway change the human condition on these scales. Combined with Edison's other inventions Jobs looks even less important. He made a few good devices using existing technology. He did not reinvent the light bulb.
Also, the laws specifically allow the cars to be on the road, and to drive autonomously. The laws state a person with a valid license must sit in the drivers seat, but he is not driving the car. So the fact is yes driverless cars are allowed on the roads in Nevada, Florida, and California.
Considering the topic of conversation the fact that they exist is entirely relevant. You can't just wholesale act like they don't exist because it's inconvenient to the argument. Google alone has a test fleet of at least 10 cars. They've completed over 300,000 miles of autonomous driving. There is even one license in Nevada for one of these cars that was issued in May 2012. Just because you haven't personally been in one yet does not exclude their existence or the fact people are riding in autonomously controlled vehicles.
We do have self driving cars. Several exist. Just because they aren't in the consumer space yet doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Laws are already on the books in Nevada to handle them too.
Despite blackberry's performance lately I tend to agree.
I've got a iPad 3rd gen, an android tablet, and a Samsung s3. I use the s3 everyday for all the same tasks I would have used tablets for. I'm not even sure the other two tablets are charged right now. When I do real computing I use my laptop.
1) Some phones are already insanely massive and are basically tablets. Some people don't care about holding a brick to their face.
2) Samsung is outselling the iphone because of those larger screens. Poll after consumer poll constantly pegs screen size as the reason.
This really hasn't caught on in the main stream. If anything it's mostly the laptop manufacturers struggling to stay relevant with gimmicks. For business purposes even those tablet/laptop hybrids really aren't that useful. Hell even for school when I lugged a laptop to class I'd still prefer a more durable laptop than these gimmicky looking laptop/tablet cases.
This isn't even remotely the same and you damn well know it. Horse drawn buggies existed for a very long time before cars and cars were seen as a natural progression of that mode of transportation. The fact we measure engines in horse-power to this day is a testament to that fact. Tablets could be seen as the next phase of computers, but the fact remains they are not as useful for many purposes as real computers are. Whereas with your car example a car completely and thoroughly replaced all functions of a horse drawn carriage in its entirety.
All consoles are DRM by nature. You can't take that disc and play it on any other console. A wii u game can only play on the wii u. This is a form of DRM even if you don't realize it.
Yeah, you do. It's the four face buttons with the X, O, Triangle, and Square. They had analogue capability in that they could detect how soft or hard you pressed them. This was used more in the ps2 days, but has fallen out of use since it rarely made things better.
Studies have shown that those who pirate music end up buying something to the tune of 30% more music than those who don't download. I'm sure a google search can find the actual article with the actual percentage, but that's not the point. The point is the people who are most interested in music, and therefore the ones likely to spend the most money, spend the most time online previewing for their selections. The p2p causing damage isn't as strong of an argument as it once was.
It's so sad that they can sorta "win" by pushing Veoh out of business via litigation. Even though Veoh won they still lost. Sad. The judge should have awarded fees.
Teamviewer is a good remote desktop app that you can use. Honestly there are several apps a google search would have produced in seconds. This is a very common problem with many common solutions.
"Raise your hand if you're shocked, simply shocked."
Shocked that users would upload illegal content? Nope. Shocked that yet more articles come out trying to make Mega look bad, but all it says is that they are following the law? Nope again.
I don't know if they were complacent or not when MegaUpload was taken down, but I constantly get the feeling the media is always wording the discussion in such a way that demonizes Mega on the assumption that they were guilty. What ever happened to fair neutral reporting? It's such a shame.
The very fact that this question was formed from the position of a co-worked makes it a safe assumption that they are using the same language and skills for the job. When you are on a team like this situations like you suggested don't happen often.

Logical argument for the win.

That's just what the law says. The car itself is perfectly capable of driving itself.
