Give the fucking kid a scholarship to college...or a paid internship at Paypal. Is it not possible for anyone to do any serious work until they are 18 yrs? wtf
Maybe they don't want to be affiliated with child labour?
Can't I just be charged with Visacard? Or doesn't that work internationally?
Personally I don't have much problem with an international bank payment (using BIC and IBAN) either.
Paypal isn't much of an issue for me either. I've learned that one can ditch their currency conversion and ask to be charged in the native currency so to speak straight on the card and all those systems charge for doing the payment service so I guess there's not much of an issue with that. Using their rates I would get a worse deal though. I've made a login but I don't really know what I should use it for and I don't think I've saved my credit card details within their system?
Obvious issue I have is the old stories about how people have had their accounts and money locked and have they have threated US citizens better than whomever else. If I _HAD_ to pay their exchange rates that to would suck.
What's good with it is that it seems like if you pay using Paypal on ebay you get some warranty about actually receiving the item or money back? I don't know if that work if you aren't registered and if it's always that way (and how do you prove it?) even for transfers beyond ebay or not.
Here in Sweden I just give my Visa details at every store and be charged that way but maybe that's bank specific and only work nationally?
Well. I do get that you're trying to be sarcastic but at least partly:
Yes.
I don't know about Chinese systems but I assume they would be somewhat behind? I also assume Russia can put up a challange.
But Iran and North Korea?
I doubt either is on the same level as the US with their designs?
(For planes it would be natural for me to assume that China is behind but on the other hand they likely incorporate new technology fast and release new gear. And the same for navy equipment. But I guess even having a stealth plane doesn't make it "as the US stealth plane" so there may still be some difference there. (Also of course software matters.))
Now when I read it and see the name of it I guess it doesn't just add the media (folder?) right then but rather may manage it in the future and check for changes later.
Now for a desktop I don't know but I doubt I'd care much. Maybe I would care more in a multitasking environment / if I wanted to have two things up in the same time. I don't know how Windows 8 does that.
As for a tablet I've seen worse user interfaces...
To me patent trolling would be to sue products using patents you own but don't intend to use for a product.
I don't know what the meaning is supposed to be but just suing because someone is breaching some patent you own and which are used in a product you make a living on I think is more ok.
At least you're not patenting and suing just do sue.

It's from 2008.

I get it!

^ That's all.
Now you just give the designs away to your true allies so we can build the gear before the chinese.
.. what about encrypting the designs and only do it for a specific receiver on a need to know basis?
Guess it have to be stored somewhere and that you somehow possibly need to be able to connect to it.
But is complete systems or many of the systems stored in the same or similar places / with information about where the other parts are stored?
Maybe it doesn't matter / already is distributed among many somewhat similar systems.
"it sounded like such a good idea!" ..
Yeah, old right click was better.
Not that I'm a heavy user.
1TB of space got me interested though. Enough for back up I guess. At least if you don't shoot RAW.
and no capability benefit.
Not true. What about the stuff they have already added which made it more heavy in the first place?
Had to check the price of TF2.
It's free?!
I'll definitely try it out once I've got a decent computer :)
Guess I can wait for Haswell to arrive now when I'm so freaking late anyway but real soon now hopefully ;D
"I WAS HERE!"
No-one said it was shocking?
However the drivers for the open-source OS is good. Not only for the proprietarian one. That's nice.
Did you know that you can run steam and source engine games on ubuntu now?
Steam yes.
Number of games limited.
Anyway what I wanted to say was: Did you know you can also run them on other distributions than Ubuntu?
As in OpenSUSE 12.3 here. Not that I've got anything to play on it. But Steam runs. :D
Now when I read it and see the name of it I guess it doesn't just add the media (folder?) right then but rather may manage it in the future and check for changes later.
Look for the folder named "Automatically Add to iTunes", then drop a media file into it and see what happens.
Doesn't sound very automatically?
I'm curios what portal site.
Also embedding the videos on other websites removes the video ads.
Could happen with fruits ;)
I guess what matters in the end is how much real world stuff you can acquire / have.
Back when you was in school there still was a gold standard?
I touched a Windows 8 tablet.
I liked it.
Now for a desktop I don't know but I doubt I'd care much. Maybe I would care more in a multitasking environment / if I wanted to have two things up in the same time. I don't know how Windows 8 does that.

What's interesting to me:
Nvidias driver owning AMDs.
Open-source? I'm not going to rewrite it anyway.
