I ran it for about 2 weeks on a laptop at home used for general browsing, but watching the logs on my firewall were crazy. I couldn't manage to track down all the different *-edge.net domains or other CDN endpoints they were using to relentlessly connect. You basically have to switch to whitelisting. My hosts block file picked up dozens of entries, but after realizing it'd be a never ending cat & mouse game I reverted back to Win7...Unless they stop this crap in a soon to be released patch we'll go back to being a Windows free home when win7 gets bothersome.
Just use this: https://github.com/10se1ucgo/D...
Along with some easily googlable additions to your HOSTS file. I've manged to get it down to just one site client.wns.windows.com (IIRC) it will try randomly the entire time but HOSTS seems to deal with it as well as it can be dealt with.
When he brings the screenshots into the physical world via large prints and specific arrangements in a gallery I can see an argument being made for it being transformative though it he does seem to be a very disingenuous artist to me.
Anyone with a clue doesn't use a site whose sole purpose is to datamine your ass. When will people begin to understand that Facebook is the enemy?
Here, we have the nanny state stepping in, and Facebook cooperates fully. Facebook does nothing to block trackers, in fact, they ENCOURAGE trackers! I'm sure that Facebook is getting some kind of financial incentive for cooperating. If government doesn't offer incentives directly, then the companies like Snaptrends is passing it on.
Well some of us live in the real world and can't just hide under a rock because, ya know, we need to interact with people for personal and professional reasons via popular social media sites.
"When was the last time you used a piece of chalk to express yourself?"
How about every day? Every time I walk passed a collection of minerals me and my young daughter collect throughout southwestern Idaho I grab a piece of found chalk and do a little sketch, just to show hey dad like's to be creative maybe you should be too. There is something to be said for your hands laying upon a myriad of physical objects and interacting with the world via them. The digital world is great but it is only a small part of the vast world we inhabit.
That's HoTMaiL for me, it's amazing how much spam is in that thing. It's like getting in a time machine and going back to 2002. Also in reference TFA I have a feeling posts like this are going to motivate people to seek out an aol.com e-mail address ironically. Making anyone the one's thinking 'tech dinosaur' dinosaur's themselves.
Being able to sit quietly in an irrelevant meeting isn't actually a particularly useful skill in the rest of life, so I can hardly blame anyone for wanting something to do or some other distraction during them.
You may consider it impolite or disrespectful. I consider it disrespectful to make me waste an hour of my time because you feel the need to show your self-importance by calling unnecessary meetings and forcing people who have no need to go to them to be there.
Showing respect is absolutely a useful skill for the rest of your life. You may think it's beneath you but all you're really showing is the me-first attitude so prevalent in this day and age.
Mirroring a general purpose computing environment and being able to play your dedicated gaming device on a separate screen are not quite the same thing.
Total water withdrawals in the United States for 2005 were
estimated for eight categories of use: public supply, domestic,
irrigation, livestock, aquaculture, industrial, mining, and
thermoelectric-power generation (fig. 1). Thermoelectric
power was the largest category of water use, followed by
irrigation and public supply

Yes grain. Just like when film was used. Even at low ISO with fast prime you will still see grain, especially at 100%.
What does screen size have to do with your "cropping range"? You believe the purpose of a camera is to fill your screen?
If I need an image 1000px wide today, I only need roughly a fourth of an image. But at these resolutions to fill the same space now will require more pixels, giving me less range of choice. And yes I do expect my camera to fill my screen, you'll notice "Full Size/Full Screen" a feature on my websites that allow sharing of images.
People whose goal is to share on "Flickr and Google Plus" don't need DSLRs or 4K displays. People who don't realize that grain is a film characteristic don't either.
Would you prefer I called it noise then? Either way it functions the same from my vantage point and also, I'm sorry but you simply are not in a position to determine what I need or what I don't need. Frankly you sound fairly unfamiliar with photography in general and I am wondering why you bothered to respond?
As these become more common it's going to be interesting to see how this affects SLR usage. I'm using a Nikon at 4928x3264 and it seems as screens approach that size I will at least lose some of my cropping range and also when you are viewing images close to 100% grain and other sometimes unavoidable artifacts become more apparent. I'm sure for people who do a lot of printing this will be a minimal issue but for sharing on Flickr and Google Plus this might force some wallets to open sooner rather than later!
Who picked the site? What was the criteria for selection? A year of monitoring also seems to be pretty short to come to conclusions when we are talking about the most important resource on the planet.
Jackson said the 1,800-foot fracture was very interesting, but also noted it is still a mile from the surface.
I have been thinking about the claims by Facebook and Google that no government agencies have direct access to their servers, and that is likely quite correct.
What they do most likely have, is a tap point on Facebook's and Google's networks which can then snoop on all traffic between their servers and their users and visa versa then ship it off en masse to the NSA for processing and storage... So their statements while technically true, are still intentionally false and misleading.
It's been well known that the government has had these taps on the major phone company networks and the internet backbone for years.
I've been feeling that they are liking arguing semantics. Sure the government doesn't have direct access but a 3rd party does and via perhaps their data the government gets what it wants or something a long those lines.
It's not mental illness, it's addiction. Yet, I really don't like that word as it implies a removal of personal responsibility. No, like so many other things, overeating has to do with abuse of our pleasure systems. If we taught people to be self aware enough to recognize when they are engaging in actions that will subvert physiological systems into a habit then they would (hopefully) be able to self limit early on.

Stating common knowledge is far from insightful.

The shear amount of waste involved boggles my mind.

Your vitriol is pathetic.
Disorderly Conduct is quickly becoming a terroristic act. What with cowboys and indians becoming a criminal activity and all... Bing it.
Your a fucking fool.
to $25 for a U.S. identity, and $40 for an overseas identity
Is that 25 FOR? or it's lessened by 25... So cunfused how math?

Not a bad response to a post that walks and quacks like a fucking advert. This is some really bottom of the rung shit.

Exactly. A giant middle finger to society and the world-at-large all in the name of ME-FIRST.

Love the lackadaisical attitude.
What if the fucking Real Estate Agent knows the same mechanic her daughter uses? Use your fucking head.
Huh, I was curious what the initial issue was. Was it licensing? Because I thought it was due to duplicate functionality in iOS.
