That's not playing your games on the Linux based SteamOS, that's running the equivalent of VNC server and client between Windows and Linux. I can do that to my phone as well, but I wont claim to be playing GTA on my phone.
Of the people I know who still play the game, most of them only do so to sell items for cash. Frankly, the game itself was short and not that interesting.
And yet... GM refused to sell them to people with the money and willingness to buy them. GM decided they would rather destroy the cars then sell them (shrug).
Well their vision is "the same interface on all devices". The problem is, we as consumers dont want that. A phone interface does not work well on a desktop. That, and it's ugly.
The walled garden has yet to reach the Apple desktop, which is still a POSIX compliant UNIX environment complete with X-Window (as an optional install) and BASH that can run off the shelf commercial software. It is in fact the last such platform on the market.
Most of the "fake" Cisco hardware I've seen is the real stuff that failed a quality check and was rejected by Cisco. The manufacturers overseas tend to just sell these rejects out the backdoor rather then destroy them.
There are tons of regulations etc against spam in many countries. Guess what? The people running the spam/scan email systems simply do not care. There is zero enforcement of these rules, so why should adding more regulations make any difference?
People are buying the platform, and it only comes from one vendor. It's not like with Android where you can compare different hardware specs. Apple will produce a single product at a given price point with a given set of hardware specs, and that's what people will buy. Not saying this is a good or bad thing, just that it's a thing.
It means no such thing. Not sure where this idea comes from, but I blame the schools for failing to teach the Constitution and Bill of Rights properly.
Main thing I can think of is being able to dynamically decide where the code processing should happen depending on client requirements. For example, if you have some complex computations that would take up a lot of server CPU time for 10,000 users you can push that to the client in javascript. However, if a smaller number of your users are on mobile devices with limited CPU power, you could run the same javascript code on the backend servers for just those mobile users.
Just because I'm not shocked they're doing what we said they could do does not mean I like it. However the time to raise objections was when the laws where passed. We can't really get mad that they are following the laws we let pass. Now if you want to talk about overturning the laws, that would be a constructive discussion. But getting mad about the NSA watching us after the Patriot Act etc passed is just silly.

Indeed. Oracle is a tool. You don't blame the screwdriver if the contractor messes up your kitchen cabinets.
So all I need to do is email some anonymous database my credit card information? What could go wrong?
For example, the silk road guy who legally changed his name to his handle ("frosty") and then used said name in his encryption key.
Nothing to stop them, but it would be a MAJOR pain for them to maintain WINE compatibility with third party software.

Odds are they don't make your games... so no.

But they would be lease only, GM would refuse to sell them to anyone and then they would for no reason take them all back and destroy them.
I tried using one of the compact flash format hard drive many moons ago. Stupid things would break with the slightest bump.
Frankly, I dont think the US should use gMail etc for governmental communications either.
No... it would be like a magazine only Kindle that could no longer read books.

While I'm not wild about being tracked, I simply don't feel that I have an assumption of privacy while driving around on a public road.

Not all that flows is H2O. Not sure how they could determine the chemical composition of what formed these.
Puny humans do not yet know the meaning of the word "doomed".
Really? Cause I can build a zip gun (which is what we're talking about) with off the shelf parts from Home Depot.

Pivot Tables can have three or more axis.
