the real question is why is ubi selling keys without boxes and knows the keys? they have their own service for buying the game online if you want to, in which case you don't get a cdkey to transfer that you could sell online to someone.
if you acquired the box, the right to play comes with that box and the key comes inside the box. And I really don't think that third parties buying boxed games and selling the keys online would be asking ubisoft to remove the keys from play if they got a chargeback(they're not ubisoft authorized sellers anyways and ubi would be happy to fuck them over).
there has to be something more to it.
I suspect that they're selling bulk keys to cybercafes etc at discount pricing or something similar and deactivating these keys if they find that they're not used in the region sold to..
another explanation - that they already used iirc months ago with another similar incident, was that large amonts of keys got taken from a hacked ubi server.
There is a 200 dollar price difference for the cards on new egg.... You don't stay in business by undercutting yourself.. Anyone who thought the cards would be identical is beyond retarded.
furthest uh by what means? like, do some people expect that there's some quartermass movie style field at some point there that just kills people and isn't visible on any instrumentation ?
plenty of stuff to be done without manned missions still..
well, just as it happens china chose the certain line to be such which makes it hard for overseas businesses to operate in China.
It makes things like payments and everything like that harder for them.
besides though, it's an arms race. I'm sure there will very shortly be vpn software that wraps the stuff in something else to fool the protocol detection. and then they'll try to block that. and then they'll do something else.
because the boards are stupid and full of rich people and the only paylevels they see are the executives so they have nothing to compare to and they just shrug and think that's what they need to pay and that they wouldn't get anyone competent at 1/10th of the price(still 10x more than usual well paid employee in the company).
well, actually, for the donkey it's best for it's own interests to perform the work(or end up as soy.. sausages). it's just that it's nigh impossible to communicate it to the donkey.
they made it for android and iphone after their users had started jumping ship already. their first approach was to not port it to competing platforms(for nearly a decade, mind you). probably a mistake since when users started jumping ship they found other services that did the same thing, push email and all, on the other platforms..
well that would be copying at a different place.. and then what would stop you from making two copies? making it a copying process and not teleportation.
if you want to say that there isn't likely to be real teleportation then duh... it's just magic scifi anyways. if you were to convert the state of the object into information then you would need to have artificial limitations to stop you from making two copies once you have the information.
as such, you could just as well just trust the operator to hit it with a hammer.
the only reason they did it was to get some publicity. but even then, nobody should give a fuck. it's not teleportation. it's just a scanner, a 3d printer and a device that destroys the original for no good reason at all.
yeah especially funny coming from someone who is in charge of a company that had a product that was only available on their own platform and only on carriers who had contracts with them...
is there Line for bb(X??) ?
(line is really, really popular in some asian countries, it's basically like whatsapp)
they forced g+ on every youtube commenter to drive up the usage statistics. I'm "active" on google plus and I know plenty of other "active" people too, while in reality we're just continuing to use youtube as we used before g+. and that's majority of g+ use. so if you take that out what you're left with is peanuts, almost everyone with a google+ account doesn't do anything non-youtube related with the google+ account and this is accurate! fuck, I would say that 1.5 billion of those users don't even fucking know they have a google+ account!
this is result of google being very active in tricking people, and shoving g+ on them through repeated popups, clickhere's, accept this new term and you'll be on g+, etc etc bullshit. and by repeated I mean wording it differently every time, not including a "don't fucking ask me to join g+ again" and so forth. if you were an active gmail user then sooner or later you were going to slip up and join even if you didn't want to - and if you wanted to comment on youtube you simply had no choice, and if you thought you had then you got tricked by some updated terms checkbox, and BOOM suddenly your profile pic was a on a public google+ site and you were a google+ user in statistics.
(and most g+ content isn't private, unless you count g+ chats as "content", which you really shouldn't, this really is the difference to facebook - which makes google+ just a big collection of blogs/self advertisements)
you sure you never signed on for google+ and use google services? because if you didn't, that's a feat!
thing is, with tech circles, everyone knew already the reason why google forced every youtuber basically to join google+, through deceit at the end.. I had managed to avoid creating a google+ account for a quite long time but one click on youtube to make a comment got me in the end..
she's not going to explain anything.. why? because she has a job now.
not as a games developer(and really calling herself based on that game then my high school in '90s had 30 game devs), but you know, as a professional money asker/victim. that's pretty much it.
"unauthorized use" or similars are used in pretty much all of the west for.. well, unauthorized use, like joyriding. if the joyriding ends up destroying it then it's destroying of property..
you know how destroying property isn't theft as such.
why the distinctions? because usually it's more "bad" if the crime is done with profit in mind (like reselling the car)
the windows store "package manager" is why a lot of companies were shying away from windows 8... they don't want ms to become the keeper of the keys for their windows applications, for good reasons.

slower speeds, more noise, more danger, I would imagine.
btw KONE means MACHINE.
purists of what?
what you can be sure though is that red sector has a better theme than the others.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

ever heard of Fire and Quadro series... ?

there's some beverages with no dna in them, though.
vodka should be pretty clear of it too.
the friggin 7 year old netbook I have playing music can boot from USB.
so really - are they seriously saying that this was not available before? like what the fuck?
tell that to the people in prison in China for writing something on Weibo...
well, just as it happens china chose the certain line to be such which makes it hard for overseas businesses to operate in China.

having a doctored engine noise inside the car is unlikely to help much the blind people who are outside the car..
anyhow, it doesn't need that much speed that the tire noise overcomes engine noise.

yeah it basically just means bank switching roms.
emulators(wildcarts have lists of what styles they support.
dunno what's the deal with snes carts. maybe they saved on pins/traces.
it's an _extra_ _step_ the machine makes.

it's not entirely bullshit.

she's counting condemnation and being critical of her "game" as harassment though... that being a part of the whole reason for the backlash.
a professional troll of sorts and other trolls getting involved in it. it's a fucking TROLLGATE and not gamergate..
well this is android... making the benches somewhat relevant.
she's not going to explain anything.. why? because she has a job now.
not as a games developer(and really calling herself based on that game then my high school in '90s had 30 game devs), but you know, as a professional money asker/victim. that's pretty much it.
much easier than developing actual games anyways.
you know what's funny?
microsoft announces death of silverlight -> announces silverlight as the thing for wp.
microsoft announces death of xna -> announces pretty much xna as the thing for games for wp / metro.
you might want to check up on that.
