Android has become even more insufferable than Windows, with annoying useless spyware/adware programs pre-loaded that most users have no way at all to remove,
That is nothing at all to do with Android, it is entirely the choice of the device producer and/or retailer. They would do that with whichever O/S they chose to use on the device. Your problem there is not that you chose to buy a device which runs Android, but who you chose to buy a heavily commercialized device from.
The choice is in the hands of the purchaser. I managed to find an Android phone which suits all of my needs and did not come with any of that crap pre-installed.
Wouldn't have hurt if the author had been given a project plan and a deadline for that article. Maybe I'm getting old and impatient but it went on for far too long. Great sentiment and I have seen many of the effects mentioned, but hey, summarize.
It's more likely that those pushing for DRM just want to make sure you can't skip advertising when streaming content. You will be forced to watch their ads before starting and at regular intervals while watching the stream. The same old rule applies for finding the cause behind all this; follow the money.
Typical americans, they just love their blame culture. Now they must have something to blame for lack of attention. It's not my fault, it was my phone! I'm sure there will be a specialist branch of therapy available for you all.
You know what? When I wrote that, I was fully aware that I was once a younger person. I also know that I and most of the people I hung out with were raised with just enough respect for other people to not go into a movie theater and act like arseholes. We would take ourselves out to a quiet beach, light a fire, consume the consumables and act like twats out there, where we weren't bothering other people... too much. And no I was not making that up, the town I live in is not so big that everybody just expects to be surround by careless wankers; plenty of other people were annoyed as hell at the stupid young students, and they did indeed clap. It didn't make me feel any better about it, but it happened. I do sincerely hope. if you are a breeder, that you at least try to teach your spawn to have a little respect for others.
Recently had 2 female student air-heads talking and sharing phone views with each other all the way thru a movie. Eventually I got annoyed enough to tell them, loudly, that it was considered polite to stay quiet during the movie and talk about shit afterwards, to which the rest of the theater clapped and cheered. Shouldn't have to do this tho. Young people today have no clue....
I recently saw Hitman's Bodyguard too, and thought they had the sound just a little bit louder than it needed to be, are the young people today assumed to already be partially deaf?
Also got a a reminder of why I prefer to watch movies in a less public place when the wankers behind us had to put their feet up on the backs of the seats in front of them, cos thats like so fucking cool to do. Smelly, noisy, and annoying, why do they expect us to keep paying for that kind of service?
The local theater does have a luxury option tho, where I could sit in a better seat with glass of wine in hand and NOT be surrounded by inconsiderate wankers, so I guess I could always just pay even more and see if the available movies make me feel like it was money well spent.
But I always consider that a good thing. They fixed on something I was interested in at least once, then used that instead of poking ads for other things in my face all the time. After that times out or whatever, they eventually default back to advertising dating sites for asian chicks... my internet profile must make me look lonely or something.
I haven't looked at QT or C++ for a long time now, but didn't they have this all covered? And is QT that horrible to use that nobody wants to make the effort to upskill on C++? When I last looked at their offerings they were working on a GUI markup that seemed to be going good places, QML? did that go anywhere? If I was trying to make a cross platform app with a good GUI then I would investigate QT and their current licensing. Sure I like C# but is it really the best cross platform tool?
I have been unimpressed by a number of apps written in mono recently (mainly 3D printer related stuff) as there seems to be no common versioning or even awareness of the different distros, what package management systems they may have or what the commonly installed and stable versions of any libraries may be.
You get these big ugly lists of instructions, usually telling you to uninstall all existing instances of mono and/or mono-based libraries and install the one specific version which their project will run with, then download 3 or 4 other dependencies from other projects (none of which give you a simple way to get the specific version of their project which is required) and then you have to fudge things around to bypass things provided by your resident package management system. Then the app prolly doesn't work anyway, or has the most primitive UI you have seen in years.
Ok, I know that a real Linux user has traditionally been prepared to edit configs and make files, build a few things from outside of their package management, and handle conflicting library dependencies without blinking, but I don't see why mono and.Net core projects had to take a huge backward step and make us mess around the way used to with Linux 15 years ago. I just expected if we were going to bring in all that bloat then it should at least have made things smoother to manage, or better looking, or something modern.
Wouldn't this set a precedent of saying there should be no trademarks at all?
Or you can only trademark a product if you have competition and you provide less than 50% of that product to consumers, because as soon as you become the provider of more than 50% to the markets, your trademark has become the most commonly used name for the product.
It all sounds like a ridiculous joke, except somebody obviously has the time and funding to put into trying to degrade the value of Google's trademark. Who is providing this funding?

Shit? There's a bomb?
Yes, there will be a rapid diffusion of gas, if you don't defuse it first.
How diffuse would that defuse gas be?
You can get canned Dark Matter? Where would I buy it? Can I get it pickled?
You already have two cans of it, you just can't see them.
While I eat it... With ketchup.
Thats disgusting! Ketchup would ruin the flavor.

Xamarin Studio was based on MonoDevelop, which already ran on Linux, so how hard could that be?
Thanx, best laugh on slashdot in ages.
Yes but surely you wouldn't use the same identity for your work and personal life?
Brave seems a bit slow to start up and load the first page, otherwise the basic features seem to be ok.

Jeez I hope that's not in plastic packaging.

I don't know about the quality of their security solutions but Logitech have never been a cheap option, at least not here in NZ.

That was a joke, reworded many times and debunked even more times.
But if you try to kleenex the google search screen, make sure you haven't used it to wipe your nose first, cos yuck.

Doesn't that imply adding "site:amazon.com" to your google query? It's still googling.
