I mean, either you contact the police and let the hacker expose a couple of pictures of you in "natural positions" (because you did not know pictures were taken) OR you give the hacker more munitions by sending him pictures of yourself in explicite positions, thus digging your own grave until the hacker gets tired of this game and decide to expose everything anyway.
I think asking for money would have been perceived in a different way and maybe it would have worked.
I wonder if Steam OS going to be free (as gratis and as freedom) and compatible on any PC just like a normal Linux OS with all supported drivers or if it's going to be like Chrome OS and Android, which only work on some hardware carefully chosen by the devs ?
In this case, Steam OS would only work well on a Steam Machine. Of course,we may be able to fork it but still, it's better for us if the devs take the Canonical approach and try supporting the maximum hardware possible, contributing to Linux in the same time.
I am an Archlinux user for about 5 years, it is running on my main laptop. I can tell you that everything is not pink and that the devs made a lot of changes recently breaking things up all the time. Because it is a bleeding edge distribution, it is not stable nor robust.
I think the main problem with Unity is that we can't move the task bar around the other edges of the screen. If we could move it to the bottom, it would be like a normal desktop UI, really.
So why the hell can we not move the task bar around is beyond my understanding... This is INSANE.
I don't think Microsoft Office comes with the RT yet, right ?
If they could make a Metro UI of Microsoft Office and giving it away for free on the RT, it would sell and have a major advantage over the competitors... but they don't, which I think is stupid.
Linux always claimed for freedom and choices and yet, all the distributions are the SAME. Same desktop/folder metaphor, same design overall, just different Desktop Environment names.
Metro and Unity are the only REAL choices and they're not *that* crappy at all. You will read here on Slashdot plenty of people that really like the new Metro interface and it works very well on touchscreen all-in-one computers.
Why all the hate? If you don't like Metro or Unity, stick with Seven or any Linux distribution that is not Ubuntu.
So now, you should sit down and apologize, Anonymous Coward.
First, I would choose Ubuntu over any other desktop "out-of-the-box" distributions because Canonical with Ubuntu is the only one that is trying a new design. I just don't understand how come Microsoft came out with Metro but all Linux distributions are sticking with the old desktop metaphor, pathetic.
Second, Canonical is a small company compared to Microsoft and Google. Still, it is playing their game on the same field. They need to find ways to add value to their "product" so other companies notice them and want to partner with them. Good things about partnership is that more and more hardware will come with Ubuntu pre-installed and we as users, could get a free amazon gift card if we use Ubuntu, things like that (these are examples).
If I was rich, I would be homeless. Traveling all around the country and sleeping in hotels, eating at restaurants, etc... Are you saying that if I don't have a home address, in Florida, it is illegal for a restaurant to serve a meal to me or someone to cook for me ?
It's been hours now I'm trying websites that give free bitcoins for watching videos and visiting websites. So far, I made 3 cents, USD. I think begging is more rentable.
Not only this, but after a couple of years being unable to keep your jobs, it's easy to become very frustrated, you feel that your life goes nowhere, so you're searching for other ways to get money.
I really don't think that in the future, cars will be individually fully autonomous. I think that cars will form groups or networks depending on where they are, a group is a horde of cars with one "mind" and THIS is what's going to be fully autonomous.
With the help of the internet and sensors, all cars of a network will go at the same speed, keeping the same distance between each others.
Cars of a network will be in a snake formation, so as soon as a car detects a moving object that they identify, all the cars will slow down at the same speed, stop, or the line (the group) can be split in two if an object cut it, the whole line also be led by the first car into doing an S to avoid an obstacle on the road. Imagine, you will be able to cross the road as a pedestrian without even looking and the entire line of cars will slow down at the same speed or split, the "flow" will adjust perfectly.
Also, if a car comes from an overpass and wants to fit into the group that is tacking the line on the highway, the group will immediately adjust the speed and split so the car can have a place in the line.
They were having problems with fake reviews, and this solved a good chunk of them.
All the reviews are fake anyway, just like comments on Youtube, written by Yes-men. People are usually over-optimistic, blindly liking things without thinking a bit.
Real names or not, here come the sheeps.
Not only advertisers, also governments. Governments around the world are pushing hard on this as well, making it easier to persecute people without asking for an IP address to the service provider first.
Slashdot Mirror
He needs parents, physical contacts, all the time !
He's freaking 4 years old, he doesn't need a phone !
If... We have anti-spy technology to counter-effect devices like this one.
.. the data, like they used to offer the heads of the enemy as a gift, on a silver plate.
Think about it, I'm sure this is happening.
Where's Robocop when we need him ?!

Because that's the real wealth, the rest is illusion.
We're not sure if Steam OS will work on something else than a Steam Machine yet...

Just my 2 cents.

So you want to buy the new hardware.

Problem is that I'm too impatient, I want things change NOW. Starting a revolution is too long, I want things change at least at 25mbps.
