Office 2008 on my Mac opens the Microsoft Software Updater to check for updates once a month (as long as I open a Microsoft product, including the Office suite or RDP).
When you say "we're already at the limits of the resolution of television" I think you're missing that the vast majority of games are rendered below 1080P and then scaled, since the current consoles don't have the horsepower to actually render that resolution.
If you don't mind me asking, what is this Fastpath you speak of? I'm a fairly hardcore gamer and I've never heard of it. I use DSL and from your post it sounds like something I should look into?
Perhaps, but I doubt that's the case here. AFAIK CenturyLink doesn't really provide any VOIP or content streaming services that they'd want to "emphasize" and as a CenturyLink customer (carried over from the Qwest merger) I haven't experienced any of the issues the OP reports.
Agreed. I think the problem is that people don't realize that Firefox 10 is really just Firefox 4.6. In 4 they did a major change from 3, but now each "major version number" is only as different as what used to be a minor version update before. It's not like Mozilla has done twice as much development in the year and a half or so between 4 and 10 as they did in all the years leading up to 3.0, they've just moved the decimal place for the same revisions.
Woah, what Firefox 10 are you running? I've been running it for 2 hours and it's already at 400MB of RAM, and the 2 hour mark is just because I restarted it to release the gig and a half it was using.
Not necessarily. I have unlimited data with AT&T, and I am still under contract for quite a while yet. I signed up with AT&T with unlimited data on my iPhone 3g, and when I upgraded to a 4, I got to keep my unlimited data but I got the upgrade price for the 4 by renewing my contract (and the unlimited data was grandfathered). Hell, if I did the same thing with the iPhone 5 or whatever this fall I could still have unlimited data and be under contract until 2014.
Oh we do, but it's tricky. You would have to port your number out of your carrier BEFORE telling them you want to cancel for XYZ reason without ETF, which means you're pretty much committed to the fight at that point. If you cancel your service first, you just gave up any right to that phone number and you're pretty much SOL for porting it.
(IANAL but I used to work in number porting for a telecom)
Wow, you had 17 bad drives out of a consecutive total of 19 drives? You should probably never play the lottery. Or go outside in a lightning storm. Or really put yourself at risk for any sort of statistically unlikely bad thing (shark attacks? airplane crashes?)
While there have been some exploits that allow jailbreaking via website, the vast majority (all of the IOS 5, so far) vulnerabilities require the phone to be put into DFU mode. If there's a vulnerability in the OS while running in a mode specifically designed for altering the OS from outside of the OS, I don't think that's a very big deal (security wise).
From what I've read, not quite. Apparently he took the first step, then another group (Fail0verflow IIRC) took the next step, then Geohot was the one who actually got the private key.
Perhaps you have a bad card? Also, you've been able to use generic ATI drivers with a notebook (except with certain notebook vendors, which I'd assume is more *their* fault than AMD's) since the HD2000 series at least. I think ATI started doing generic drivers before NVidia even did.
Hardware problem. I've got 3 Windows 7 Machines, all running with 4870s, one of which running with a 4870x2 CF setup. Not a single problem related to the video card across the board.
I personally think Brotherhood is *excellent* in both SP and MP. I feel like the MP is innovative and finally provides an experience that's outside of which is refreshing. The SP, while not -better- than AC2 isn't bad, either. It's mostly more of the same, but refined a bit and with some interesting new dynamics (recruiting the novice assassins, etc)
While I can totally understand it not being for everyone, I've noticed several reviews seem to agree with my stance. So EA isn't completely full of shit.
This conversation is about the US government shutting down US domain names. If you want to talk in global terms, go find a conversation about the global government shutting down global domains.
FYI two of the issues that you've listed are part of the original. Goldeneye 64 didn't have bots either (They were added in Perfect Dark) as well it had horrible framerate issues when there were explosions in multiplayer.

Check out Facebook Lists. They're the same thing as circles, and have been around pretty much forever.
I think they'd expect to lose a lot of customers (more than from throttling) if they didn't allow us to keep our unlimited plans?
Just a guess.

I wish I hadn't commented yet. That's the best idea I've ever seen.

Because one can be disproven, and the other can't? Don't get me wrong, I'm an atheist, but fan death and god are hardly in the same category.
Caprica was terrible. I wanted to like it so bad but it was just far too slow.

I think you might want to see a counselor. Did Steve Jobs run over your dog?
Reading comprehension.
"And yet happens when you root and load that ROM and brick your phone?"
The word brick implies you'd be unable to flash it back, and thus, it would be a brick.

Woah Woah Woah. Yes they offer a torrent based system by default but turning that off is as simple as clicking Options->Uncheck peer2peer downloading.
So it's by no means forced and anyone with a bandwidth cap can easily turn it off.

Or Microsoft won't do anything to stop this since they really don't care.
