I suppose that's something I hadn't considered. Given the availability of DLNA/UPnP clients on everything from consoles to toasters these days, I'm not sure it's all that necessary, but that would be cool.
I can already run unsigned code on any of half a dozen PCs or similar devices I have that are not the 360 and are FAR more powerful. This is interesting-ish in that it's a neat kind of hack, but really... why would I want to do this now?
Certainly, if they INTEND on re-sharing it and attributing it to you for some purpose. If they're going to do that they probably don't belong in the circle you're posting that particular message to.
The point of the "disable reshare" option is to stop clueless people from mindlessly re-broadcasting every last thing that they read to the entire world.
Nothing is perfect, but this certainly beats the "Default spew to EVERYONE" model that facepalmbook uses.
No, these are NOT the "same guys". Those guys were over in Sony Music.
Different set of clueless stuffed shirts.
And no, I doubt they're stupid enough to do something that would be patently illegal, and result in at least the European Courts cutting them a new one.
They're not providing anything. That "annualcreditreport" link is an existing legal obligation on the reporting agencies imposed by the US govermnent. Sony did nothing apart from provide a list of affected persons to the credit agencies.
And you're not going to convince imbeciles like that. Write them off, minimize them. Try to counteract their idiocy where possible. Don't waste energy trying to convince morons. You'll only frustrate yourself and make sentient beings like pigs jealous.
And understanding the article, you would realize that the updater runs while the game is being played. The current World of Warcraft client updates during play as well as before, allowing the player to get in game faster. The updater IS a bittorrent client.
Are you under the impression that you'll get another? One that has acceptable service? Where I am, I have ONE cable ISP available. The alternative is some fairly horrid DSL.
I find it rather simple to not do things that would send me to jail or cause me to wind up owing millions, but by all means go with the "it wasn't me it was the person I was illegally subletting to". That's sure to work out just fine.
I hear that old line a lot yet I don't seem to every having it be much of an issue on my iDevices
Thats because you are spoon fed content from Apple itself. Of course they would design things to work on their platform, but it works the way they decide it should rather than leaving it up to you to decide.
I'm certainly not spoon fed content from Apple, yet I get by quite nicely without Flash. Flash is a crutch for lazy web designers and ad agencies. None of the content that I actually give a shit about relies on it.
I consider having the device reject Flash without me having to install a handler for that a BONUS.
Most laptops still have just Intel graphics, which are complete shit at 3D gaming. I can't imagine someone would want to move their gaming entirely to a laptop in most cases. I've got an ASUS laptop with Nvidia mobile stuff, but it's still not going to hold a candle to my main gaming box.
Now the AC comment about Steam is an excellent point. Using the same license that way would be an option.
Apparently, he has transitioned to the internet, but in the form of a subscription only podcast. I'm not that nostalgic. It's not something I'd listen to every week like I did as a kid anymore even if it was free. I'm certainly not planning on subscribing.
I haven't listened to it in ages either, mainly because I don't listen to radio at all anymore.
Turns out it hasn't been broadcast in my current location in recent memory. I'm glad WLVQ, where I listened to the show as a kid, is one of the stations that held on to the end.
Simple solution. When he submits his list of the paywall services that he wants excluded, Google should pull ALL NewsCorp owned content from searches. EVERY SINGLE ONE.
All of the traffic that those sites rely on will evaporate. And there won't be a fucking thing Mr. "Savvy Businessman" can do about it.
Murdoch is a buggy-whip manufacturer desperately trying to charge the car dealer for a product he doesn't need. Then throwing a fit and trying to sue when the car dealer laughs in his face.
Fuck him sideways with a band-saw. His relevance is fading, and soon his empire will crumble and spread to the four winds.
Yet there will Rupert be, clutching the dessicated remains in his greedy fists and demanding someone pay him.
Preventing the customer from enabling the feature entirely (which is what Sony does) is NOT a good idea. I own a VAIO laptop that I do my work on. The fact that I had to buy it quickly and choose from several mediocre models (changing jobs, limited budget for home office) meant I had no opportunity to find ouot that VT was disabled and could NOT be turned on.
I'll never buy another Sony laptop again. There's no reason a 64-bit dual core laptop with 4 gigs of memory shouldn't be able to do good virtualization.
Sony just doesn't want the expense of supporting it. Never mind that most people who would use the technology wouldn't bother with Sony tech support in the first place.
To a dog, the human owner is the pack leader, who should always be followed and obeyed. To a cat, the human owner is just a convenient source of food.
I used to agree with that statement, but not anymore. We have two cats in our home. One of the two plays fetch AGGRESSIVELY. While I'm at my computer she brings me toys to throw all night. Its an interaction I didn't think possible in cats. But its not a creepy as the pack activity.
Almost every cat I've owned over the years has done the fetch thing to one degree or another. They all fixate on different toys/objects. I had one who loved fetching pipecleaners of all things. You could fake him out and throw it another direction and he would NOT STOP LOOKING FOR IT until he eventually found it. Hours later he would deposit it at my feet and smack me in the leg.
The cats follow me around from room to room while I'm home. On the few times I've argued with people in my home they either flank or circle behind the person I'm arguing with, growling and hissing the entire time. One one occasion they actually attacked someone they like because I was yelling at them.
I've seen this happen too. The pipecleaner-obsessed cat was a 19 LB neutered male (black). People did not like to argue with me when he was around. When I was a kid, the family cat went after my sister when we got in a screaming match.

This confusion of wants with needs has perhaps been the cause of countless wars in the Middle East.
You misspelled "Organized Religion".
I suppose that's something I hadn't considered. Given the availability of DLNA/UPnP clients on everything from consoles to toasters these days, I'm not sure it's all that necessary, but that would be cool.
I'm all about doing that if it has a purpose. I guess if there weren't PC drivers for the motion sensor gizmo it would be really cool.
I can already run unsigned code on any of half a dozen PCs or similar devices I have that are not the 360 and are FAR more powerful. This is interesting-ish in that it's a neat kind of hack, but really... why would I want to do this now?
They shot and killed an armed drug dealer. It may not have been justified, but he was not "innocent".
The riots weren't about protesting that even. They were just an excuse to destroy and steal.
The War of the Script Kiddies has begun.
I think you meant "Begun, the Script Kiddie Wars have."

It's an entirely different kind of flying.

Wow.
You're insane.
Yea. I'll pass on being one of those cases, TYVM.

I remember a line from "Cheers"
Norm: There's a dead possum in the stairwell... at least I hope it's a possum. I hate to think a rat could get that big...

"free of gluten, dairy, sugar and eggs"
Screw that. I understand people have dietetic restrictions, but there's no way I'm going to a restaurant where I have to abide by 'em.
Maybe the problem is people aren't finishing the meals because they taste like crap and aren't satisfying?
Yes. In this context he's a fucking moron.

If the loggers cut the trees after they have been warned about spikes, any injuries are their responsibility, not the spiker's.
If you lock your doors after I announce my intention to enter your home and take your TV, the damage to your door is your responsibility, not mine.
