Ouch. Someone being offended on the lack of their gender (or not their gender) being in an article sounds sexist to me. Either way, the people who would get offended because something like "he" is used or that "maid" was used or that "fireman" was used should probably spend more time focusing on the subject of what the author is talking about and worry less about semantics and how "nice" someone is trying to appeal.
Sounds like they spent a lot of time talking about how it will stare at you and do a boatload of other creepy stuff. Outfit this bad-boy with some 'scary' vanity items, or maybe bash it up a bit and remove various parts, and you've got the horrors of several children. I think this and putting it in very odd places to scare friends and co-workers is the only use of this toy that comes to mind.
So no, new users will NOT be probably turned off by the price of entry into the community, even if the threshold is $50. Personally, I think the threshold should be $25 and three months of use.
Actually, I've had multiple times where I wanted to play a game with some friends but couldn't as they were not able to add me as a friend as they had not bought a game. $25 and three months of use just to be able to add my own friends to play some game that would say, be only $5-10 sounds ridiculous.
First of all, I would make it so you can press the Enter key and it conducts your search. Forcing people to either tab or navigate their mouse to the button makes it a little annoying.
Unfortunately, my OS is kind of screwed right now. Some registry files or another got fucked up from an installation of directory opus, and I can no longer open control panel, explorer, display, fonts, etc etc. The recovery (back to factory state) on my Dell computer does not work; it gives me a pretty lengthy error that pretty much states "The recovery partition is corrupted." So, I go to Microsoft's site, put in my key, and there it is (paraphrased from memory): "Your computer came with a preinstalled operating system and we can not provide you an ISO, check with your hardware provider." Fuck.
To be honest, not everyone wants to listen to the music you listen to, nor the music I listen to. And that's fine. I wouldn't want someone blasting their music through a boom box when I do not care to listen to it.
Yeah, of course. It's still fun for me to poke fun at though, mostly because they take like to say, "No, no, we're not like the other guys. We do the same as the other people, but we're not like them." etc etc.
Paraphrased from within the link, "We have a lot of privacy information, we just don't connect it together." How flattering Apple, you know, this reminds me of (insert country here) that is collecting a ton of (insert commodity here). They don't plan to use it of course. They just like collecting it, and doing nothing interesting with it. No, nothing special all. Isn't that right, Apple? Or, should I say, Big BrApple?!?! (Terrible joke, I know)
Did you guys completely miss that he was joking? Especially from the poster's parent's post, "Nothing like having people tell you you're an idiot"...Or at least I hope he was.
Console producers slap a computer together, mass-produce it and sell it under a price tag. With this they can corner a series of games exclusively for that console alone, so if you want to play a certain game, you'll have to buy the console. And if you just happen to own a console/PC where the game was not originally designed to play on, you'll probably end up with a buggy game.
But the biggest issue is that most console games treat their player as if they couldn't handle the concept of pushing a button. You think most of these horridly generic games would be intuitive as to how to play. There are many more reasons why consoles ruin videogames, it's just this awful generifying of games that all have the same exact issue that is not necessary yet included in every game. Oh well consoles, if you think I don't understand the concept of moving with an analog stick, then I doubt I could've actually turned the console on myself.
Consoles and games in general were not made to advertise. The fact that they have to point it out sounds like they're doing something terribly malicious with the console, which is not surprising to say the least.
Regardless if this is a good idea with good implementation, people will find a way to get data openPDS is trying to hide. And it sounds like people who use this will only store more 'sensitive' information; digging themselves in a deeper hole.
Back about four years ago or so when I was thirteen, I got a book "C++ all in one desk reference for dummies." I didn't have a compiler or the internet to get one, but that did not deter me from trying to learn how to program.

Isn't this standard for anything though?

I'm was about to start raging right there.
That's good to know that you am was about to.

I don't think the best strategy of hitting on girls is to wear short skirts.

he console has sold over 100.04 consoles worldwide as of June 30, 2013..
Only 100 consoles sold? What are you playing, some chinese knock-off of the Wii?
Well you'd be right if I was saying PCs were not doing that either. But I didn't say that.
