I'm not really far in the game yet, but Skyrim has great feel. Magic seems to be better than in Oblivion, and the world is beautiful. It does kind of need a better texture pack, but I'm sure modders will be working with that. In the beginning (after you get out to the real world), there's a nice old lady who says it's so nice to have a visitor. I felt kinda bad after bursting her into flames and robbing her house.
At its home turf, despite being a state-owned company, China Telecom, along with China Unicom, is being investigated over alleged monopolistic practices by the Chinese government. The two companies would face penalties of up to 10 percent of their annual business revenues if they were found guilty of monopolistic practices
What the fuck? Don't you see how ridiculous these Chinese == bad comparisons on Slashdot sound? Frankly, I have lived in lots of countries, including China and other Asia countries, and I always got better treatment while using their services. In fact, I hope they establish their services in Europe too. Yes, they could go to shit like every operator now, but at least at the moment they are so far better than anyone else. And frankly, that's all I (and other people) care about.
They are only interested about US market because it's LOTS of clueless people who live by advertisements and just don't know better. US is the dumb and clueless country. Sure, mod me down for stating the fact, but that is the truth.
And can't you see what is the problem with this? I have no time or money to go fight against Google in the US. To begin with, I live in Europe and I have no money for expensive lawyers. So what can I do?
Well, I'm not ok with it. And I have contributed patches to Linux kernel, and those are my copyrights. I don't think it's good for everyone that Google blatantly violates every copyright law and most importantly, every privacy law.
Yes, in legal sense noone but the copyright holders can sue Google for infringing their GPL code. But is that the correct thing to do? So we should just ignore Google's blatant violation of GPL?
There's a physical wall between batteries and the other parts. Just admit it, Google starts something but they never finish or polish it. This is why Android is failing too.
Many other parts can fail too, it's not just batteries. You can't just ignore the fact that Google could have safe measurements in the OS and limit the hardware usage, but they do not. Combined with crappy hardware and crappy design this leads to failing parts. It's simple as that.
I agree, and then there's the fact that Google has no experience on developing mobile OS. They seem to assume they can just overuse the hardware and not limit it in any way, which obviously turns the hardware to scrap metal really soon. This is a combination of bad coding habits from Google and bad hardware decisions from manufacturers in the race to take the prices to bottom.
apt and yum are horrible for searching if you don't know the name. And usually Linux programs have horrible names that tell nothing about the program. So, in the end you're going to be Binging it anyway.
Microsoft started offering their own Virtual PC software for free, but it's shit compared to features of VMware products. Granted, it's not really an enterprise product either. But VMware's products will save you lots of headaches, they perform better and offer much more features. It's sad to see companies don't appreciate quality software anymore, because VMware has always produced just that. That has been the trend lately, just like companies are moving towards Google's products just because they are free, even while there are much better products on the market.
Meat is actually extremely healthy food. It's low on carbs, it has the good fat, and is high on protein. Bacon, eggs, whole-meat sausages and steaks are the same. You get a much healthier lifestyle if you avoid eating carbs. Yes, it means giving up on french fries, hamburgers and pizza, but that's easily solvable by making more bacon. I lost almost 30kg that way and still felt good while in low carb diet, after the first week anyway.
Which is even more true for Google's services. At least when I buy Office from Microsoft I know the software will continue working and they don't care about datamining me, as they got my money already. Google can, and does, shut down their services at will. It's DRM^2^2.

Because you can't play games on Linux, and my development environments (Visual Studio and PHPEdit) aren't available for other than Windows.
It's based on old slashdot stories. At least this time we got something that is actually true.
At its home turf, despite being a state-owned company, China Telecom, along with China Unicom, is being investigated over alleged monopolistic practices by the Chinese government.

No. I'm stupid too.
Oh my god, whole six weeks?? Your life must be horrible!
Seriously, I pirated them before because here they showed them two years later if at all. Six weeks is nothing.
There's a physical wall between batteries and the other parts. Just admit it, Google starts something but they never finish or polish it. This is why Android is failing too.
Google owns a manufacturer but is not one.
So in fact they are.
How many C# lawsuits there have been? How many Java lawsuits, especially relating to total ignorance from Google, has there been? Yep.

Google just makes the software. Apple and Blackberry make their own hardware.
Eh, Google makes hardware too. They did even before they bought Motorola, but now they're one of the largest Android manufacturers.
Yeah. It's against the-so-much-loved Google so it must be a conspiracy!

And while we're at it, revoke all rights from US to touch domain names. Shut down ICANN as it has constantly shown willingness to fuck over US and other nationals and US isn't shy to hijack domains belonging to other nationals.

Yes, like you can "take out" your data from Office too. Still people are crying about Microsoft using their own file formats.

What is even funnier is the number of people at my work that type gmail into the search box of google to click on the link to get to their email.
Uh, I do that too, and I consider myself being even more tech-savvy than most slashdotters.
Google is facing an increasing threat from Microsoftâ(TM)s Bing search engine, which is close to providing a third of all internet searches
