Again, a cert that is acceptable to Google is so dirt cheap as to be inconsequential to anyone running a server that needs one.

I've stopped caring. People like to get their social fix and I've noticed that too. Now I'm active on Facebook, I buy from Amazon and Steam and you know what.. being social is better!
I've stopped caring. And btw? I wouldn't change it. Socializing means giving your privacy up for the experiement. It means being vulnerably and if you cannot let yourself be social then what hope is there in the world? We have laws against the most outrageous abuses and that works.
This applies because RMS is against the lens only because how it technically works. I rather be myself than RMS. He has completely lost his touch on reality. In the world WE ALL live in, together.
I'm proud to say I'm more social than ever before in my life and I enjoy it! The change came after I got a mac! And even if I really hate to admit it, Google CEO had correct words when he said "if there's something you don't want anyone to know, don't do it in the first place."
Were you so busy typing the 'first post' that you didn't even manage to read the summary or the article?
No, the vast majority of Android users are people buying it because the phones are cheap. Not because they care about being able to root the phone, install alternative browsers, or wanting "chaos". The XDA-like crowd is a pretty niche minority.
You seem to personally know the vast majority of Android users, it appears.
So let's be real about the motive. This isnt just normal "people" bias, this is state-funded propaganda. Doesn't make it wrong, and again I agree it is worth looking at, but not just with a grain of salt.
I still don't understand how people can think that state-funded propaganda is somehow worse/different than corporation-funded propaganda.
If you taker packet from somebody without knowing the packet content, hide it on your person or car, then bring it discretely to somebody else, are you a criminal ? In the juridiction I know of, yes you would be seen as a complice of the crime, imagine for example that you are raided while delivering the packet and it turns out it is cocaine, good luck trying to use a defense of "but I did not knew what was inside".
It would appear that mostly people that have no fucking idea how Tor works are trying to comment on it.
No. Your ISP probably does little more than route traffic properly to the next router. A TOR exit node is an actual entity distributing data to others. A good analogy would be, your ISP is a self checkout line, and the TOR exit node is a physical employee walking the transaction through to completion. One is dumb, one is not
Hahaha.
Wow, I haven't read something this bad in a long time.
So basically it's one of the fastest selling bundles in the history of all the bundles. Man, what a total failure it's amounting to. It still has 12 days and 21.5 hours left and it's at $1.5 million and has already outsold 14 out of 19 of the previous bundles.
And this is why you are being branded as a "consumer generation".
You kids don't seem to have a slightest idea about anything else in your lives than 'good deals'.
I fail to see a problem here, if you have an issue with this just send everything to charity.
Problem is that Humble Bundle did this in the first place. I've always purchased the bundles (even through I don't need/use them), I hoped I was supporting something new and good that will have a long-term effect.
Turns out that I was just supporting another business that is going to turn greedy/nasty as they always so. It is not ok to start selling DRM shit under Humble Bundle name. Simple as that.
So, fuck them. I am sure they'll be having great sales now, I just hope they don't expect people to pay for all the future useless bundles they put together. I know I won't ever give them money again.
There are still few people left in this world that are naive and idealistic and try to stand for what's right, and not for what is a 'good deal'.
No, the only people affected by this are the large-scale kim dotcom style companies that make millions off copyright infringement, and there are already a variety of laws in place that can be used to prosecute them.
Wow. You guys arer really trying hard.
Maybe try substituting "kim dotcom style" with "youtube style" next time you post, eh?
No, over 2000 users uploaded these files. Mega is trying to use the structure of their site where they hashed an upload and only kept one copy of the file to say that because there was only copy and because NinjaVideo had uploaded 36 of these files at some point (because NinjaVideo uploaded thousands if not hundreds of thousands of files), they couldn't delete those files because the order from the DHS instructed them not to. But that's a ridiculous assertionâ" even if they were told not to delete the files (really they were just told not to delete the NinjaVideo account, so they're using a liberal interpretation to include these files) they had an obligation to prevent the files from being used for further illegal purposes.
Phrased another way, a court order requiring preservation does not mean Mega is allowed to continue to allow others access to those files and continue to break the law. Those 36 files were accessed, downloaded, and shared illegally after the point at which they were required to be preserved, and access removed under the DMCA.
Mega cannot use a design component of the site which was done for cost purposes, as a defense against criminal liability.
Wow. So much nonsense in so few paragraphs.
It would appear that you intimate knowledge of the papers FBI presented to Carpathia/Mega, eh?
Or you are just talking out of your ass, since pretty much everything you talked about is plain wrong?
Possibly. It depends on how much truth there is behind both sides claims. Neither the Feds nor Kim have much credibility here, and both have a history of distorting as much truth as possible to get their way. I don't envy the ones who have to try and cut through the bullshit and figure out exactly what needs to be done.
How, exactly, you figured that Dotcom has no 'credibility'?
Pretty much everything he said since the case began was true, he didn't even need to distort anything.
I had a Motorola Milestone (international version of the original Droid) for a while, now running a Lumia 800. The Milestone would die at least once a day, and the battery would last maybe 10 hours if I left it completely alone. Even though the Milestone was a flagship Android phone at one point, I could write a giant TL;DR post about the problems I had with that phone.
My Lumia gets over 30 hours of battery on a single charge and has yet to crash or even do anything unexpected in the 6 months I've owned it. The difference in the quality of the phones is so night and day I can't imagine that a WP8 phone would be any worse than an Android.
So, you are comparing an old smartphone with the latest one, and you don't see a problem in that?
Amusing.
Would you like to compare the reliability of your phone with my Nokia 3210?
I've had a Windows Phone (7 and then 7.5) and I think I can count the total number of reboots during that time on one hand. It's extremely stable, more so than any other smartphone or even feature phone I've ever owned. I'm excited to get a Windows Phone 8 (probably the 920) but it's a huge rewrite so I would expect a few quirks here and there at first.
A friend of mine just bought one last week and I am sure he is in his right mind. He got a Lumia 710 and I dare say you can't buy a better smartphone in our country for the price he paid for it. Prices for WP7 devices are going down to the point where it makes perfect sense to buy one if you are looking for a cheap phone.
And this is the whole fucking point.
Nokia is still slowly dying, because they're certainly not making money on such sales.
People that are buying Lumias are not buying them because of the features and whatnot, but because they're cheap as fuck.
Knowingly facilitating piracy is a crime. This is why rapidshare is not being prosecuted. The moment they come know a file they have has been reported as pirated, they take it down. If any of their employees comes across one, they take it down.
And this is a great example of why people who don't know anything about the topic they are talking about should actually, you know, talk about it.
At least in time before Internet dumb people were not advertising it to everyone.
The other hosters make it very clear that they have zero tolerance towards anything they identify/notice as infringing. Megaupload was sort of a bit tolerant, and it is now biting them in the ass.
I presume "other hosters" would you YouTube, and "zero tolerance" would be the content of internal YouTube emails revealed at Viacom trial, right?
Is that the 'zero tolerance' you are talking about, or we are talking some other 'zero tolerance' here?

"Watch the next few years as freeing China becomes a constant narrative...."
Although not in the same way that China liberated Tibet I hope.
I sure as hell hope it's not in the same way the US liberated Iraq or Afghanistan.
Tibet would be the great option, much much much less casualties.
And they wonder why the world doesn't want them to have nuclear weapons.
Would you like me to make you a list of failed launches/deployments of space technology by nations that have nuclear weapons?
You'd be pretty scared.
If not satisfied, then why not ask for your money back ..
You think they'll give me back the $25 I donated when I downloaded 12.04 few weeks ago?

Hahaha.
Wow, I haven't read something this bad in a long time.
Sure, let's all completely ignore that this bundle is dwarfing the previous bundles in the first day in terms of money collected.
Because the only thing that matters in life is money, right?

Would you like me to link you to lists of car accidents, for example?

Excel will connect to MS SQL Server, Cognos and lots of other products for data and then let you do some transformations on the data on the client
does OO do that?
Yes it does.
Is it really that hard doing a Google search before spewing nonsense?

And that doesn't help Nokia.
They are seriously good now, too. It's only Android fanbois who refuse to see it, because Nokia devices do not run the One True Platform.
I still use Nokia E71 and E63, and I just need to know one thing.
Can I now, finally, save a draft of an SMS message, with Windows Phone 8?
Because, you know, such basic things weren't working with Windows Phone 7.
Seriously good. Heh.
I'm not saying they won't fail or that windows phone is good or bad. I'm only asserting it is too early.
I've been hearing "it's too early" for more than a year.
When, exactly, will it stop being "too early"?
Not asking a question, not suggesting to act.
So what is it, just a story to tell?
Awareness, for start.
Would you like me to continue, or you would be willing to take advantage of that brain you (presumably) have inside your skull?
