Surely this devastating blow to their financial security will serve as a deterrent for other companies... right? What's that? Their gross profit over the last 10 years has averaged in the hundreds of millions, and this fine serves no other purpose than to demonstrate that it's a more fiscally-viable option to fuck over your customer and then pay the fine later? Color me shocked...
"N-word" is such a cop-out. Just say n*gger (thanks, Slashdot, for forcing censorship!)--you're already implying it to everyone that reads your comment.
Also a big thanks to/. for their "lameness" filter automatically blocking my submission. Those scary words sure are better off blocked! Someone might be offended, after all, which is literally the worst thing that can happen to a white, upper/middle-class woman.
Upon re-reading, I also want to make it clear that my ideas of a free and open Internet do not include sanctioned/allowed illegal activity--just not an infringement upon all communications for the sake of blocking the illegal.
This being Motherboard/VICE, will they truly provide unfettered access to a free and open Internet, or will they cave under pressure and block communications that their politics lead them to believe should be blocked? How will they respond when users pirate content? Share child porn? Or even just visit alt-right websites? I don't trust them, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong about that.
Unfortunately, most people, if given the chance, will do only as much work as is necessary not to be fired. There has to be a balance somewhere between "Chinese sweat shop" and "person who was fired for on-premise illicit drug use gets their job back after a six-month fight with the union, with back-pay."
ONVIF attempts to make it so that you can use any camera with any VMS, and they do an alright job of it. You can be mostly certain you'll at least get video from the camera, but good luck with camera-side motion detection/video analytics, onboard storage, or any other "advanced" features.
Alright, I'm a Google fanboy, so I typically give them the benefit of the doubt, but seriously? What happened to Hangouts being their unified messaging app??

...from an incompetent wannabe with almost none of the standard features expected of a game store? Do you really think they're threatened by Epic?

but so far, I don't think they can reach inside your brain to ferret out the passcode for access.
Sure, but they can also jail you indefinitely until you cooperate.
Thing is used for evil -> better ban said thing.
Yeah, if this allows people to hook up mice for an FPS, other players won't stand a chance.

I completely agree. I just wanted to clarify that illegal content is an unavoidable side-effect and not outright "sanctioned/allowed."

Wonderful, except that they also reduced rewards from campaign mode proportionately.
Mahon said there were two principal concerns: very small plastic particles and the chemicals or pathogens that microplastics can harbour
Once they are in the nanometre range they can really penetrate a cell and that means they can penetrate organs, and that would be worrying
Couple other potential concerns listed as well. Articles do sometimes contain useful context.

Hashtags on Slashdot? Truly these are dark days.

Could you go into more detail about that failure? Sounds quite interesting.
Wow, you mean basic features are similar to one another? I hear that Android phones also have touch screens and apps! Hmmmmmmm.

Vote third-party, dawg.

I think you're missing the pretty blatant sarcasm, homie.
This was an extremely informative conversation to read. Kudos to you both.
So, gamers?
