Because it's irrelevant to the story? Ransomware doesn't need any administrative privileges to inconvenience anyone, just the ability to trick a clueless user to run it, or piggyback off something legitimate and encrypt the users home.
The licence is compulsary for any device capable of receiving broadcast media. That includes Internet, TV and radio. If you can honestly declare that you don't use anything with those capabilities, then you do not have to pay.
A few weeks, possibly even months ago, Sony announced a feature that would let PSN+ members store their saved games in the 'cloud'. What happened to that? Are all those members now locked out of their saved games, or did the feature not go live yet?
I wonder if they'll still be touting that as the next big thing?
If speeding is as dangerous as claimed why not save themselves some cash and instead of buying the data from Tom Tom simply examing their own records. They would simply have to look for roads where the most accidents ocurred and set up their speed-traps there.
An interface to Watson will most likely end up being available for 99cents as an 'app' so that idiots can ask it trivial pub quiz questions. When AI reaches a level approaching sentience it's going to be furious about the mundane tasks we've been issuing it and will probably exterminate us out of boredom.
What he means is, if a human doesnt learn ANY language before some critical point... For example cases of children growing up in the wild brought up by animals for their early years, are somehow incapabable of learning any language at all.
They flip on a dime. True story: saw an accident between a Honda Del Sol [swaqvalley.com] and a Ford Expedition* at an intersection. The Del Sol was dented but able to drive away from the scene while the Expedition was flipped, turned upside down...
And I'd like to take a second just sit right there, I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air.
From what I've seen in the Beta versions recently, anytime a setting like this changes, the screen goes grey and a message box pops up saying "program XXX is trying to change a system setting, click yes to allow this" (or similar)
Whether this will happen for Firewall settings, I can't be sure, but its likely they've thought of something.
On another note... the screen going grey and popping up a messagebox brings a whole new level of annoyance to the old 'program stealing focus' problem.
This reminds me of something a teacher showed us in school a long time ago!
Take as much cornflour as you can get your hands on, and apply about the same amount of water then mix... you'll end up with a paste that is liquid if you pour it, and solid if you punch it.
Which is all fine and dandy, until of course the activation server is shut down because the company has gone bust, or simply decided that its time for that game to be discontinued. All of a sudden, that activation code becomes virtually impossible to get hold of.
Then why do they release products under the Sony brand?
I'd guess its because they want to be associated with the reputation (or lack thereof). If they want the good, they can take their share of the bad too!
But along the same lines, never ask "Do you see such and such a thing on the screen?" as many people will just tell you what they think you want to hear in order to get you utter the magic 'solution' to their problem.

Where does one find these clever customers?
That's one of the errors, the other hundred ways it can fail don't have a simple solution.
Sorry, try again, better luck next time.

It will be just like my Gameboy from circa 20 years ago!
So, you think that Facebook is full of idiots?
Case dismissed!
Anyone who drives slower than me is an idiot.
Anyone who drives faster than me is a maniac.

And the hardest part of all is making sure that the end-user actually bothers performing the updates!

I know it's not a film, but that doesn't make him any less of an incredible role model!
"How's it coming, Rodney?"
"Slower than I expected, but faster than humanly possible."

If you where gonna take your whole MiniDisc collection with you, youd probly waste just as much, if not more space than the average laptop.
With the abundance of wireless connections too, the universe of music is still easily accessible.
Mindisc fails it!
And if it helps....

If it can help primary school students use the correct term, maybe it can even help Americans too!

I'm not so interested in the mechanics (where do you put it, that allows you to use it as an accelerant?) but more in the effectiveness.
Of course its an easy mistake to make... the keys are like, right next to each other.

$7.50, or 3 additional albums
Did I read that incorrectly, or are Sony indirectly admitting that their albums are worth only $2.50 each when offered as a download?
