Then use tf2mate to make better config. I don't have 5 year old PC, but I still did to remove clutter from screen (and ragdolls, so I can instantly see when people die.. makes difference for some classes).
I also play TF2 more than any other recent game. It has hilarious moments all the time, and really good gameplay with the different classes. Funny thing is that it isn't even being updated for consoles, while Valve keeps adding new content and gameplay elements all the time on PC.
Nokia is still the largest phone manufacturer on the planet. When they start coming out with more and more WP7 devices, that is going to change. Their devices are already great, and hardware is unlike any other manufacturer.
You cannot have a good OS if there isn't someone who organizes and runs things, and that includes providing updates to older phones. In the real world no one actually cares if the mobile OS is open source or not, and for majority of people using a proprietary OS isn't "taking a step backward". All the issues that Android has, however, is.
Yes it is. That's why it's funny that Google chose to ignore how "widespread" Linux on desktop is and didn't see how fragmentation works out for operating systems.
Apple demanded control from carriers to themselves, and as far as I know, keeps updating their devices. iPhone users keep getting updates, Android users don't.
That is why you need someone running the platform. With iPhone there's Apple and with WP7 there's Microsoft. However, Google is just ignoring Android and thinking it works out just fine if they pass the control to phone vendors. Well, it doesn't. I doubt they will ever even realize this but continue making the same mistake again and again.
Android already is licensed from Google. That makes Android proprietary software too. Even Microsoft runs things better with Windows Phone 7. They mandate that manufacturers update their old phones. Since manufacturers are already licensing Android from Google, they are perfectly capable of demanding same kind of rules. But it mostly seems like Google just throws something out but isn't interested in supporting them or running things. And yeah, why shouldn't them, since manufacturers are already doing all the hard work for them, while Google gains access to more user data and advertising dollars. They aren't actually interested in making Android good because it's currently the only viable OS to use on cheap phones. They only care about advertising dollars, and they get those anyway.
Even Microsoft does better job regarding Windows Phone 7 than Google with Android. They have by far updated all of their old phones. In fact, they demand from manufacturers that they update. Manufacturers are only allowed to skip one update. If they skip and next one comes, they are required to provide that update to users. That is how it should work, not unlike how Google runs things.
If Google actually did something regarding Android things would be much better. This is exactly the reason why you cannot just throw something out and expect companies to do what you intended. Google needs to set certain rules regarding using Android on mobiles, and that includes updating your phones. Manufacturers aren't going to that otherwise because it means lost profits. But Google is incompetent, so they will not do that. You can even leave the source open, just demand that companies respect those rules if they want to use the trademark Android.
Just because there's no directly money changing hands, it doesn't mean you aren't "selling yourself" when you make yourself look attractive. Likewise when you're getting a job, you're selling yourself and the benefits of hiring you to the potential employer. If you lie in these situations it is fraud.
Yes, because there obviously is no way for YouTube to reverse damage like that. If UMG chooses to abuse, I'm sure they will just say "Well, that was it. Let's go home guys." instead of, you know, undoing the action.
I'm not Buddhist, but more like Atheist. I can just see why that branch of Buddhism seems a lot better than Christianity (and I also have Buddhist gf and live in South East Asia, so I've been somewhat exposed to it)
Banks are kind of different because you need to be able to access your account over the phone. However, in my country we have always used account number + one-time PIN numbers to access accounts ever since Internet banking was introduced. For confirming transactions there is also second, reusable PIN number list. And both of these lists are changed and resent to you after you've used all the one-time PIN numbers.
It's just that western religions tend to be. Christianity especially have been used for lots of bad, and has always been used to control other people and is manipulative and evil by design. It also tries to hinder people's thinking, and tries to tell people how everything is without anyone needing to think.
In comparison, Theravada Buddhism is almost completely different. It promotes the idea of people thinking themselves and not just accepting what someone else tells them to. It doesn't believe in some imaginary persons or miracles - Buddha has actually lived, and isn't viewed as some kind of more than a human. It also teaches you to respect other people and in karmas law. The whole religion isn't so much an religion but good guidelines for life.
There's lots of bad with religions, but most of it comes from Christianity and western world.
That's not the only data stored in plain text in a freaking SQLite database.
But the apps' SQLite databases resident on the Android phones included credit-card balance, limit, expiration date, cardholder name, and transaction locations and dates -- information that viaForensics says could be used, for example, as a way to social-engineer the actual credit-card account from the cardholder.
That is just bad security from so large company that is trying to get everyone to use their mobile payment platform. You really shouldn't give them a pass on this just because they're Google. They need to be held to same security standards as everyone else.
The problem is that most people hear open source and can think you can instantly get other people to do the work for you. Largely that's a problem made by FOSS zealots who have, and still do, trumpet that as a feature of open source. However, that's not how it works. There largely isn't any big and known open source project that isn't backed by a large company. Apache is backed by all the large IT companies, even Microsoft, and Firefox has their own developers and funding via deals with Google and other search engines. Android and Chromium is backed and developed by Google. Linux development is largely driven by the largest distros, or paid by them.
So stop telling companies that open source is some magical answer to outsource the development process. It's not. People have lots of things to do, and apart from some basement dwellers, don't have time. In this world time is often even more important than money, especially if you're good at something. So open source tries to make free what people have (money) but they away their most precious thing, time. That's backwards thinking.
I actually really like Spotify's UI. It's one of the best there is. However, I mainly listen to kpop and that catalog isn't so good in Spotify, so I use grooveshark.
Yeah, I skipped a word there. The amount of users isn't as large as Android or iOS, but it's largely different demographic from Android and the users are more willing to pay for apps. You also have less competition.

Would you blame MS if HP didn't release Win7 drivers for old printers for example?
If you want to compare this situation to Microsoft, then yes, Microsoft actually mandates that carriers update their WP7 phones.

So wall paint is also fraud? Or wallpaper?
Does that wall paint disappear during the night, leaving you alone with a ghost house?
Fair use still doesn't matter. It is Google's property. It makes them giant assholes, but they didn't break any fair use or other laws.

Likewise when you're getting a job, you're selling yourself and the benefits of hiring you to the potential employer. If you lie in these situations it is fraud.
And Google is helping them to abuse little guys. "Don't be evil", huh?
Yes, because there obviously is no way for YouTube to reverse damage like that. If UMG chooses to abuse, I'm sure they will just say "Well, that was it. Let's go home guys." instead of, you know, undoing the action.
How would it bite UMG in the ass? They made a deal with Google. You should blame Google for making such deals when they aren't required to.

Tor is way too slow for streaming.
