  1. It's a free upgrade. Meaning that those customers have paid for Windows and had it upgraded.

    But I take your point - the advertising $$ will be coming into Windows 10 through Cortanna/Bing adverts and probably much more down the road.

    Time for an alternative.

  2. ...who the customer is.

    I believe I have a right to take and fully encrypt my dick pics without worry of a backdoor into my privacy.

    Give me Liberty!

    But, but, they told me that the earth was only 6000 years old?!

  5. Re:Beware of BlackBerry shills on Police Say They Can Crack BlackBerry PGP Encrypted Email (sophos.com) · · Score: 2

    What does BlackBerry need to defend here? This isn't about BlackBerry security - it's about the third party PGP apps that some have put around it according to TFA.

    Gosh, I must be a shill. Go find your tinfoil hat.

  6. ROT13... on French Conservatives Push Law To Ban Strong Encryption (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    ...anyone?

    Just how easy to crack do these monkeys want it to be so that it won't hamper their investigations?

    But it might help the marketplace find room for more open-source devices that can be more easily (less technically) loaded with secure open-source OSs than we have today.

  7. We live in an age where... on 9th-Grader May Face Charges After Homemade Clock Mistaken For Bomb · · Score: 1

    From the article: “We live in an age where you can’t take things like that to school,” he said. “Of course we’ve seen across our country horrific things happen, so we have to err on the side of caution.” said Chief Larry Boyd

    I have trouble with the chief's justifications for stating that a kid "can't" take an electronics project to school? Can't?

    Ignorance isn't a good enough excuse for mistaking an electronics project for a bomb. That's all on the school board and the police.

    Idiots.

  8. Re:Plagiarism and Attribution on German Science Minister Faces Plagiarism Scandal · · Score: 1

    But the standards for scientific papers are higher than the standards for poetry. Poetry stands on its own...

    What if science is my poetry? What if I recall its exact form as easily as I recall a poem but like Hognoxious above I can't remember if it's something I've created or something I gained from elsewhere?

  9. Re:Nobody remembers .com is for USA on US Shuts Down Canadian Gambling Site With Verisign's Help · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Could you cite your source that .com is only for US? I've certainly never perceived that way.

    Not to quibble but I think you mean the RJ45 connector that is at the ends of your Cat 5, Cat 6, etc.

  12. Additive rights? on A Nude Awakening — the TSA and Privacy · · Score: 1

    Is the right to privacy and the right to travel the same as the right to travel privately?

    Why is this Google Chrome story filed under apple? Just asking.

  15. Maybe its because on Why Is US Grad School Mainly Non-US Students? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Most Americans can't afford that much education because they are caught up with materialism and are saddled with taxes (either directly or on the goods they buy or the companies that make them). So now American higher educational institutions are only able to maintain their "high standards" with the money that is more and more going to be available from outside of the country. At least some Americans can afford it. I mean - when you put that much of a country's money into stuff like the military,or the interest on US' massive debt - how much of the money can come from within for things like education?

    Just think of when they get the system perfected - They'll use it on all Americans. :)
