  1. Re: I bought it, it's mine on Microsoft Mistakenly Sold Fallout 4 For Free On Xbox (polygon.com) · · Score: 1

    I hope you are kidding. People are allowed to make mistakes. That is not at the same thing as giving something away on purpose.

    That's bullshit.

    Don't an idiot. Are you saying you never make mistakes? Their is existing case law that clearly states that mistaken on-line prices are not legally binding.

    Is that law? It seems to me like that would only matter if they were asking for legal fees, not damages, but IANAL.

  5. Re:First Amendment Rights on Gawker Files For Bankruptcy After Hulk Hogan Lawsuit (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    The First Amendment doesn't enumerate a right to say whatever the hell one wants. There is a lot of speech that is not covered by the First Amendment, such as libel, slander, defamation of character, obscenity, dangerous or inciteful speech, and speech with the sole intent to deprive others of a right.

    So much this... the First Amendment certainly does not protect video that was neither legally recorded or aquired unless that video is so important that the courts decide that it is in the publics best interest for it to be seen. That in no way applies here.

  6. Re:Mixed blessing on Gawker Files For Bankruptcy After Hulk Hogan Lawsuit (usatoday.com) · · Score: 2

    The jury should not need to know who is funding it. They should be only paying attention to the facts in the case. The fact that the sex tape existed may pass the 'public interest/news' test, but the actual video does not. If it did, then sites could just post full length movies and say they are showing them because it serves the public to do so.

    Except that most of those sites existed before they were bought by gawker. Can you name any that were _created_ by gawker?

  8. No, but it looks like the MCPE code base is getting the most attention from MS. Oh wait, MCPE currently works on iOS, Android, and Windows 10, And Mojang just released the second stable update this year, 1.10. So, it is not Windows only yet and nothing so far makes it look like it ever will be. MS wants customers, not just Windows customers.

  9. That's pretty funny since multiple European countries use it for some form and learning. Do a search. Everything from letting people design parts to using it help people learn geography on a HUGE scale.

    Please share some of his racist comments... But please remember. "illegal Mexican immigrant" is not a race or ethnic group. Muslim is not a race or ethnic group.

    Disliking a subgroup within an ethnic group for the actions is not racist.

    MS does not need to sell any of your information to advertisers. They use your information themselves to decide with adds to show you. They win on two counts 1) they get to say, truthfully, that they don't sell your personal data, but yet they 2) get to use your personal data to target you with ads.

  12. Re:Missing From the Above: on Minecraft Tops 100 Million Sales (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Parrents have been asking for this. They do not want their kids playing on unmonitored public servers so MS is rolling in the code to let you play people on your XBox friends list.. or whatever they call it.

    Their has not been a legit free-to-play version available since the demo a few years back. Lots of hacked versions, but many of them have trojans too.

  14. Re:Haven't released a sequel? on Minecraft Tops 100 Million Sales (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't think there will be a sequel.. Think the focus will just switch to the MCPE code base. It is already shared across multiple platforms...

    THIS.... none of those were simple renames. Software evolves and all of those products went through a great deal of change over multiple transitions.

    I think TheMogMiner is right, if their had been any leaks it is likely we would have heard about them.

    What makes it so great is that you are given a basic set of tools and allowed to play however you like.

    I bought it back when it we less than $10 USD and have never really used any mods except for Opitfine.

    Being in Java was important because it let a one man team release it to the world on Mac, Window, and Linux with very little platform specific work.

    That's BS, it has already been made clear that there will be a version of AD Block using new extension support.

    yea, the problem is that they are not just cables, they are adapters. They adapt from USB-A to USB-C. As an adapter, they need the proper resister to tell the USB-C connected device how much power they can draw.

  22. Re:Surface Book on From Microsoft, HoloLens VR Dev Kit, New Phones, Continuum · · Score: 1

    I will stick with the tablet line.. I do not need the bigger screen, the dGPU, or the ability to pick it up by the keyboard. Those are the only advantages I see with the Surface Book, and I am not willing to pay extra and trade weight/thickness for those features.

    I just hope the WiFi card is better than the one in the SP3.

    The Type Keyboard looks awesome though...

    And I think MS agrees with you. Consumers will have to wait until the technology matures and the price comes down.

    Businesses however, won't blink at $3K for a dev kit. Heck a lot of data visualization software costs that much a year just for the license.
