This sort of bullshit is the reason i just can't justify buying more stuff, and more expensive stuff. I make do with an older laptop or phone, and don't buy top of the range ones because as far as i'm concerned there's no legal requirement the stuff will last more than 12 months, and i'm not paying £1000+ for a laptop to a year.
If I could be sure that I had 6 or 7 years where I could get any manufacturing/design faults fixed quickly for free I'd have no problem but I always get this feeling someone's laughing at me as soon as I click "buy".
in my experience indian developers just have zero common sense. They have to be told everything. Five times. That's why you'll never see an Indian apple, google, nintendo etc. You can't replace quality, common sense, nous etc with just cheap, stupid brute force.
Also, don't log into sites unless you have to. You can read Slashdot, Hackernews etc without logging in. You can't vote/comment this way, but you can always create an account via tor if that's important, but of course that's an extra level of tedium and a lot of sites confront you with cloudflare-style captchas which are impossible to solve without javascript.
most people don't want to download everything they watch; they want to watch it once and that's it. same reason most people don't buy loads of dvds all the time. how many times are you going to watch walking dead season 3 episode 4? sure, you might want an offline copy of this or that movie, breaking bad etc. but most of the time a stream saves you the hassle of storing it, getting it via a torrent (which makes you an uploader) etc.
Because nobody wants it? "Set my alarm for 7" is solved, Mozilla has no need for data mining people's search terms, and nobody wants to look like a dick talk to their phone/pc, so that's that.
"As many as 80 percent of Android devices are vulnerable to a recently disclosed Linux kernel vulnerability" "Windows and Macs are not affected by the vulnerability."
Wait, run that past me again? You're absolutely sure this linux issue doesn't affect devices which don't run linux?
Oh I wish i had a Zune. Or perhaps a no compromise surface tablet; perhaps one running RT. No problem - i'll just order one using my Nokia windows mobile phone with almost no market share. I'll be quite the envy of every developer out there.
Sure, and some people are too lazy to lock their doors and shut their windows, and those people are going to be spending more time on average shopping for replacement phones and TVs. You can't save people from themselves.
Why would anyone agree to that? I bet other restaurants/bars nearby who don't have that policy love that. What's to stop you just leaving your keys in your pocket and saying you walked there or got a lift?
Often pubs are full of sad, drunk bastards. I just want to chill with a drink and catch up with what my friends and family are doing around the world on facebook (or the 4 messaging apps you need to have installed because federated services are still some years in the future), read the news etc, and not get involved with someone who looks like they've not left the pub to do any exercise in the last 30 years. Irish pubs are especially bad for unstable idiots looking for a fight, even by UK standards of drunken idiocy.
The artwork is always developed on a normal rgb screen though, using photos taken on cameras with normal rgb sensors. Call it what you want but anything else is just a conversion from rgb.
> And this is why torrent sites will never disappear.
Kat has disappeared. There aren't any more major torrent sites; they're going to get squashed pretty quickly nowadays. Kat took stuff down pretty quickly, unlike piratebay, but that's always "down for database maintenance"; assuming it has what you're after anyway, which isn't a safe bet these days.
It's a radio station. There's absolutely no way they'd know if you listen or not even if they wanted to, so i guess you put up with it or stage your silent protest.
I've not heard what you describe but the most likely explanation is some sort of territorial problem where other parts of the world got a programme but it wasn't licensed in your country. If so, it would be a crazy decision to not produce and broadcast a program anywhere because it's not allowed in one country. What if people in other countries wanted to hear about that story? Your anger is misplaced.

Is there a reason Slashdot doesn't spell-check its articles? Must be a really good one; something obvious I'm missing.
No, the ruling classes won't hand out cash to people who need it. It'll be more likely Aids v2 will be launched.

Did you miss the bit where I mentioned not wanting to upload the content as you download it?
Kindly to be not making me your bitch, sir. I am working for Microsoft.

There's a reason the site was often referred to as iVerge!

Not exactly the same, no.
> So you're telling me that all white men have the same viewpoints?
They have a much more limited range of viewpoints than a group of people they are a subset of. This is obvious, no?
Why would anyone agree to that? I bet other restaurants/bars nearby who don't have that policy love that. What's to stop you just leaving your keys in your pocket and saying you walked there or got a lift?
The site owners? The police?

Why would you want to leave your car keys at the door, and why would you trust a stranger to look after them?
No point reaching out - you're going to have to contact them. Perhaps you can phone them or email them?

It's end to end encryption, but at the ends it's not encrypted. That's why you use full disk encryption.
