This. The day GWX reared its ugly head, I made to disable it and all its relatives - including automatic updates. Since then I haven't installed a single KBA. I don't intend to install another one, either. They can keep SP2 as well, until it's been cleaned up and I can personally certify it.

*Anecdotes are not absolute proof of anything, they merely provide for a confirmation one way or another for a binary claim. You mileage may vary, depending on how much RAM you have, how many cores you're running, and your proximity to an airport.
the fuck are you talking about? I'm playing a month-old release (KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM 1.0.5) on a FOUR YEAR OLD dual core laptop with 8GB RAM, running Windows 7 SP1 (which boots in about 15 seconds off a HARD DRIVE) and getting USABLE framerates. What are you using, a fucking Crackerjack for a CPU?
a EULA is a Statutory Instrument, meaning that its individual clauses are enactments that stand on their own (Interpretations Act 1978). Invalidating one clause does not invalidate the entire instrument.
let me clarify: they don't cost the actors money, they cost whoever's hiring them money. If you find yourself in a position of being able to command 12,000 armed men to invade a small Middle East country, you wouldn't instead go in on your own with a slingshot. You send in the big guns and the muppets with their fingers on the fire buttons. Let THEM take the risk, and you can pay them a pittance for doing it, meanwhile they've convinced themselves, truth be damned, that they're doing the right thing because hey, they're getting paid more than they would shaking a tin cup at passersby. You're the Pimp who's raking the sp(oil)s.
Linode is a cloud virtualisation service that runs GNU/Linux from the back room to the reception desk. This keeps their overheads down as they're not fighting Microsofts ever-confusing server licensing model.
the most famous example in recent history: the Savile coverup. Other famous examples: the priest and a small boy in relief with his cock hanging out above the main entrance to the BBC London headquarters at Broadcasting House (NSFW). Building 7 WTC falling on its own footprint twenty six minutes earlier than it actually did (1:17 in, it's RIGHT THERE as she's pointing to the spot where it "was"!).
No, they'll just send their thugs up from Bristol to strip you of your every worldly possession, then send in social services to steal your children because *they* deem the lack of television and furniture (in that order!) to be not conducive to creating obedient little robots.
just to clarify: what the judge was basically saying is that now even if you have a copy of a certain piece of music on CD with a barcode on the label*, you would still have to pay for a digital copy.
*which is really what this is about, PRS "inspectors" still don't generally give a fuck if you're playing back off a hard drive, as long as you can show paper barcodes as "proof" that you have a copy on CD they will generally accept that the digital copy is melodically identical - and if you're playing anything deemed of commercial value in a place where it can be heard by members of the public (even if it's a Top40 radio broadcast filtering through the white noise in the back of a shop), they will hit you for a £300 annual certificate which is pretty much nothing more than a permission slip to listen to Horlicks FM at work. Been there, showed the twat the KLF announcement that they had followed through their intention (at the Brits, of all events!) to delete their entire back catalogue just to spite Arista and deny them any more royalties (I was playing KLF) and he left red faced and ever so slightly embarrassed. No commission for him.

ye be right. It's in Part 3, along with yet another update to specifications regarding colourspace capability.

the diffference: I am not a Government, I do not have access to infinite supplies of money.

my first proper Linux experience was a Busybox router.

Witcher 3 was announced for SteamOS two years ago.
Keep up.

There are audio CDs that have image data, but they're not Redbook. Redbook audio is just that: audio.
ya really need to ask that?
Savile.
WTC7.
Top Gear.
Election coverage.
Question Time (every question is prescreened and seriously canned, some might even say scripted, and the audience is cherry picked)
that statue of the priest and the little boy above the London Broadcasting House entrance.
The BBC really are shameless liars, paedophile apologists and propaganda merchants.
you have no idea how accurate that assessment is. As far as I can make out, BBC's iPlayer content is hosted by Linode.

I dunno, ten bucks a month for more power than a four year old laptop and a 40Gig pipe and guaranteed three-nines uptime is pretty fucking good.
they switched to KVM a while ago.
mod parent up.
they're based in New Jersey. Howtogeek, The Onion, and several other sites are hosted by them. They've been going twelve years.

TL;DR. Condense it to four fucking lines or fuck off. Better yet, just fuck off.
provide a UID, I'll provide so many citations it'll make your arse bleed.
