"Firefox is open source and free, but they introduced a tiny bit of advertising that can be turned off. Time to jump to a proprietary browser made by an ad company that's already tracking everything I do!"
I don't like this development either, but ditching Firefox for something less free with more advertising is retarded, just like you are.
They guessed their terrible passwords. From what I read, their highest-level password was azerty12345, which is the French version of qwerty12345. They then interviewed someone about it in front of someone's desk. That person's desk had usernames and passwords on index cards taped to their monitor! People could read them from the video, and their youtube password translates to "the password of youtube".
I can vouch for this as well. I bought 2 expensive mechanical keyboards that would disconnect randomly, repeat keys, and even press keys that were somewhat near other keys I pressed. That and their Razer Synapse software is terrible. It's bloated, it fails to update sometimes and I had other problems with it. Even the fucking mousepad I bought from them doesn't work correctly, I had to use double-sided tape to stop it from sliding everywhere!
I've since wised up and stopped giving them my money.
For one thing, he said, he now connects to websites from his own computer – via Tor and using a free software browser. Previously, he used a complicated workaround to more or less email webpages to himself. The announcement brought a surprised gasp and a round of applause from the 300-plus attendees./quote
Sure Windows allowed this to happen, but Sony *engineered* this to happen. If this is what they do to their customers, I don't want to be one of them. I don't want to be a victim of their next stunt, of which there have been many in the past after the CD DRM.
I'm glad parents are deciding not to vaccinate their kids, there's too many people on this planet as it is. This is just the invisible hand of nature punishing those who reject its truth.
This is great news to me! I've been boycotting Sony Online Entertainment since they're part of Sony. I've been boycotting Sony ever since they put rootkits on music CDs and I learned about all the other shady stuff they've done. Now I can actually spend some money on PlanetSide 2 which is a pretty damn good game.
The only situation I can think of is doing this with people. Obviously the technology isn't there yet. I know for a fact that the world doesn't need any more of me running around in it. You're welcome world!
I'm going to second the recommendation of a KDE4 distro. I installed the latest Kubuntu to an external drive recently. When I booted it on a touch-screen laptop, the touch-screen worked great out of the box with 0 configuration! I was shocked!

Great, can you guys get on the Starcraft cheaters now? Those cheaters only cheat to beat other individuals and they really ruin the game for everyone.
The Pope has great moral Authority? Says who? Just because he's old, rich, and prays doesn't mean he knows right from wrong.
That did, thanks for the informative and interesting post!
I love reading about this stuff, but it's hard to understand without a background in science :(
Can someone explain it to us like we're 10?
Good for them! I'm excited to see what new knowledge this will bring everyone!
You know that little screen they put in the back of the seats? Do you think they're stupid enough to cable that into the engine management?
Yes, I'd believe it if someone told me that. The air travel industry doesn't exactly impress me with their tech or the way they handle it.

tl;dr they had godawful security practices.
MADD is concerned about the colorful or playful packaging of such products that can sometimes appeal to children.
Children can't drive, what kind of a bullshit argument is this?

Neither Google or Apple have tried to install a rootkit on my computer. Sony really is a special breed of terrible.
Yes actually, I do boycott Windows as well.

Nature vs. nurture, but guess who is doing the nurturing. The parents!
But they'll have to live with the knowledge that they caused this and hopefully not produce any more children, ending their lineage.

Just don't let them get each other pregnant and you'll be well on your way.

I don't mean to be harsh, but the only feeling this evoked in me was confusion.
2 consoles in one box, but still not as powerful or versatile as the PC it emulates poorly.
Everyone's a critic. Where can I view your art?
Just because you don't approve of art doesn't mean it's not art.
Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Inventor of steaming shit is ok with drinking piss!
