You're looking at it backwards. Steam is the preferred delivery method, CD's where you then have to use steam to 'activate' are the halfassed hack they put together to let luddites buy it.
It's only a matter of time until you can only buy games on steam.
Hmm.. you must be using some other internet then, that isn't full of people claiming that they've done stuff they haven't. I'd be surprised if 5% of people around here have contributed anything worth mentioning to anything at all.
And 'the x factor' tried to steal it with their reality TV show? Good grief, Bugs Bunny cartoons were using the letter before X windows was. Did X windows steal it from WB?
Clothing is regulated as well. In the last Olympic games, there was a review by the relevant committee of the swimming gear the Australian team was wearing. It was eventually cleared, but there is a regulating committee for this sort of thing.
How could you prove it is 'deliberate slowdown' vs sloppy coding? Why would anyone think that Intel is going to do more than the bare minimum to get the code running on non-Intel chips?
For that matter, why would anyone use the Intel compiler except in the most unusual of circumstances?
Don't worry, we're glad you don't live here too. The people elected have to represent the entire population, not just the elderly and those who think that God wants them to vote.
What you need to realise is that they're doing that deliberately. While engineers used to work to make the MTTF the biggest possible number before, they now work to make the MTTR a period (X days) after the warranty expires.
The trick is to find a company that doesn't do this, and stick with them.
It's true, with the crumbling USD and money-centric US health system it won't be long before more foreigners are getting quality health care in the states than US citizens!
You might be a good admin but your comprehension kind of blows. His ENTIRE POINT was that finding 'non sucky' admins (as you put it) is very difficult. People who are skilled to an enterprise level in multiple operating systems are extremely rare. (My previous enterprise that I worked in had about 3 or 4 such people across 40,000 staff total (and about 5,000 IT staff).
What makes you think it would need to go back to the owner?
I'm sure the time lag between a cop coming out to the store, seeing the porn on the laptop and getting a warrant could be measured in minutes or (a couple of) hours.
As for my stance, the fact that the person who discovered the data might have been breaking the law is irrelevant, as he isn't a government employee. As long as the government acted 100% by the book, the guy should go to jail.
In fact, both the guy and the tech should go to jail. One for being a pedo and the other for unauthorised data access, just as in a cat burgler who stumbled across a murder scene.
I don't genuinely think that the muslims are coming to take us away (despite what I said in my previous post), it was intended solely as a rebuttal to 'If the muslims come I'll have my guns ready'.
Here in Australia, I think our multiculturalism has helped us avoid the 'terrible muslim threat', and I think muslims much like the asian communities will become (more) universally accepted/integrated. All the horror stories people are saying about muslims now are the same horror stories our parents said about the chinese, and the greeks, and the italians, and etc. The sky certainly isn't falling.
You're mistake is in assuming that Jim Iraqi is going to come in and start running Sharia law for the country.
He won't be. It will be your friend Bob who used to work at the plant before he converted, and so on. It's easier to imagine a massive civil war where you're shooting up people who look differently, but if your friends and family are devout muslims are you really going to take it to them?
The merging of the media plays into this in part. Everyone in the states hates muslims now because TV says they're bad, but in 50 years time TV could be talking about how fantastic muslim life is. Episodes of Friend 2050 would have Phoebe Jr forgetting her hijab with hillarious consequences and people will be lining up in the streets to get some of this religious action.
Cultural conversion can't be stopped by guns, because by the time you get to the point where a military uprising is appropriate you've already lost.
You keep saying 'that windows thinks is copyright' when really you mean 'that media producers have stated is copyright'. Surely, if you're against this sort of copyright enforcement than you should be cheering what Microsoft are doing, because it makes the standover tactics of the xxAA's more obvious to Joe Public.

Neither is the 'xbox'.

I'm sure they have, but these deals only hold up if the exchange is more or less the same.
Or they're paying out the ass in interlock fees to other major ISP's.
You couldn't afford it.

Google and Facebook join forces to sell your data for money.

Intel compiler includes optimisations for Intel CPU's. News at 11.
I agree. Fuck efficiency in all it's forms. We need to be as inefficient as possible, to ensure that every second person is a police officer.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed this.
How many of them would object to someone in their class copying their paper and submitting it as original work?
They care about IP, they just don't care about is IP that they want to copy for free. It's a viewpoint I'm not entirely unsympathetic to.

A warrant is just a bit of paper with a judges signature on it. It doesn't take days.

"This is where it starts"??? Has there -ever- been a case where something like this has started in the past with elite atheletes?

I'm pretty sure the answers would be: "Don't care" and "No" in that order. What then?
