I imagine that domain names will be irrelevant in a few years anyway. People will find you and come back to you based on content, and how you package that content when you pay a search engine to index you. The domain name gold rush will come to an end.
Scrolls are a common way for documents to be presented and tales to be told in fantasy games. They narrow their usage of the term with "Elder Scrolls". Using Scrolls in the generic doesn't dilute and I'll bet you a donut this won't stand up to judicial scrutiny. I understand that they have to consistently protect trademarks from infringement to keep the trademark, but this is just bullying.
They don't have a trademark on a common dictionary word. They have trademark on the phrase, the appearance, and it's branding. If you own Rock and Roll Racing you're not defending your trademark if you C&D the NASCAR Racing dev team. You're just being dicks.
There was a guy in one place where I worked who would constantly click on shit he shouldn't have, and so a lot of time was spent helping him out. He got infected by one trojan that had a chopped-up payload, so when you got rid of the main program it would just piece it together from bits scattered over the drive, registry entries, etc. on reboot. Someone in the office probably gave it to him. It was insidious.
I love that the big publishers are doing this. It alienates consumers and makes small indie products even more attractive. Keep digging those graves, you greedy bastards!
Sure you can. It's called "Doing Business As" here, and you pay something like 150 to 250 dollars to register. It's useful for people who write using pen names and don't want to have to make sure that every place they write for gets the proper name on the check come payment time.
I had to return both my 360 and the Wii. Nintendo was just as good about the exchange as MS was. 5 minutes on the phone and a new one was in the mail. Nintendo even sends out the new one before receiving the old one, provided they have your CC number on file.
The early Wiis had issued with the graphics chips which manifested as "sparkle" before eventual failure.
Every new release someone whines about a change in default apps or UI. They could stick to one of the LTS versions, but they invariably jump on the new versions despite hating change.
I didn't like Unity, so I gave Gnome3 a go. No need to whine about it. If I didn't like either I could stick to classic or a previous release and update on an app by app basis.
It's pretty plain to see in the years of releases that LTS is stable, and the others are venues for experimentation and rapid change. But maybe that needs to be made more obvious to Joe User.
I tweeted all the keys yesterday and people didn't know what the heck was going on. 2 realized they were encryption keys. Another thought I'd lapsed into Martian.
Slashdot is an aggregation site. The editors are better described as filters. The readers are the verification process. This is how it's been for well over a decade.
If you'd like to improve on the process, grab a copy of the software, start a site, and let us know where to find you. (not being facetious)
It's the Plebian Laws of Rome all over again. The aristocracy created laws for the Plebs to adhere to, except the Plebs had no idea what those laws were. You found out when the lictors were beating you in the streets with cudgels.
The methodology has changed but as long as countries have secret laws no citizens are safe.
I'm an anti-religion activist/slacktivist, so back when I had a Facebook account I posted news on secularism and a LOT of links to abuse by religious organizations.
I'm not the type of person to look up people and add them unless they've interacted with me first. But I also come from a huge family so I accepted friend requests from relatives who felt they needed to be my friend for some reason.
They started griping about the content of my feed, one in particular gave me a lecture. Somehow, they and the self-proclaimed "social media gurus" seem to feel that they have the right to dictate what I can and cannot provide social commentary on. They received a swift invitation to fuck off.
It seems people can't (or won't) differentiate between their content, which they give you the opportunity to comment on, and your content which they aggregate into their feed. Telling me I can't post my "atheist agenda" to my own feed because they didn't want to see it in theirs is high on the order of social media dumbfuckery.
Ditto the "gurus" who like to proclaim to people "you're using Twitter wrong". Some people treat it like a life ticker. Others like IRC or a grattiti wall. It is just a communication tool and its use evolves with the community, which remains in a fluid state. But some people just feel the need to be the boss.
If I was in counter-terrorism and had just killed a suicide bomber by identifying and remotely detonating them I'd love to have the media repeat this story so it sounds like a fluke. That means I get at least one free shot at future bombers as well.
Or maybe I'm reading you wrong. ARE you being a concern troll? Or are you advocating that if people want to experiment with a Cell this is the way.
Your message is confusing. You realize that I was the one advocating FOR the jailbreak to return OtherOS to the device and he was the one saying everyone should be denied access because of pirates. If he can post on the internet, he too can infringe copyright. In text.
I expect that once Twitter hands over user data to the US regarding followers of WikiLeaks that a lot of us will be barred entry from the country. I don't especially care, but it could inconvenience many.
Oddly there are people who would say "You're paranoid, that wouldn't happen." despite years of people being unable to board airplanes because of a vague list.
I just got a lecture elsewhere that pirates were using OtherOS and we deserved to have it taken from everyone if other people were abusing it.
When I mentioned that the key extraction work didn't begin until after the 3.21 release, I was told by the user that they had made their point and they were done with me.
Oddly he was able to use a computer to send that message.

If this is how Zenimax's legal representation justifies their retainers they should be fired.

You can make a statement on the perfect anonymous social network by providing the banner page and no ability to sign up.
Ta da. There you go.
Update the version number occasionally. Post some jargon. And that's it.

Now they just need to train priests to find missing children!

Sure they are. The grocer is a person. The supermarket is a store.
I think you fell into a trap set by a pedant.

That's why his post is a 4, and yours is a zero.
Keep plugging away at those math skills!
You left out the part where the Pope celebrated his survival by sodomizing two nine-year-olds.

fail0verflow has AsbestOS in the works, but that will just function as a bootloader as far as I know.
A signed LiveBoot Ubuntu would be slick.
