Each of these games have mechanics in them that would be broken/exploited by having the ability to restore a save file to a previous version.
In Splatoon 2, you could restore a lost ranking, in Pokemon you could trade away all your pokemon then restore your save to get them back, in Dark Souls (which features perma-death as an option) you could die then restore your save to act as if nothing ever happened, etc. The sports games for whatever reason, have multi-gigabyte save files which are impractical to sync with a server.
While this may be Nintendo's decision, it isn't as silly or restrictive as some people are making it out to be.
People forget that the software author can always privately license software under whatever terms they like. The likelihood of a company like Intel improperly licensing a piece of software is highly unlikely when more likely is that they obtained a license allowing them to do with it what they want.
If I or anyone else publishes a work of open source software, we can always negotiate a different license with a company or individual to suit their purposes.
This isn't unlike the people who freak out when a company has a piece of software they've licensed as open source, but charge for it, then don't have the source freely available - because people think the GPL requires source to be given away when it doesn't. The source must only be made available at reasonable distribution/copying costs when the binaries are distributed. If I want to charge a million dollars for a piece of open-source software I've written, I don't have to give away the source to anyone except the person who bought a license to the software, but a different license can always be negotiated.
This is nothing new. Every manufacturer has a note about the number and/or type of acceptable dead/bright pixels on an LCD though they vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. In some cases, a display can have dozens of dead pixels as long as they aren't clustered together, where others will allow several dead pixels but no bright pixels.
This is nothing new and has been Nintendo's policy ever since the Gameboy Advance was released. But, if you're nice when you call support, you may be able to get it replaced, or of course, you could just swap the unit at the store. The same goes for any other LCD you buy.
A great and most likely the last watch I'll ever need is my Citizen Skyhawk A/T Blue Angels edition. Part analog, part digital. Syncs with the atomic clock, displays time in UTC 24 hour time, local 24 hour time, and Any extra timezone of your choosing. Can display a calendar, has 2 alarms, and a timer as well. Solar powered rechargeable battery, and the atomic clock radio works in the US, Japan, and Europe.
Except that your i5 is already actually an i7. When a CPU or any other hardware component can't be certified as fully functioning, it is re-binned as a lower model component. When failure rates go down, they keep doing this, but rather than having a partially bad component, you have a perfectly good component with some functionality removed to it can be sold to you as a cheaper part. This is done so the company doesn't have to manufacture so many different parts. If you can make a CPU and just disable certain parts of it and sell it for less while keeping your manufacturing costs down because you're actually only making one part and reconfiguring it, do it.
Same thing goes for software. Are you really going to complain that you bought a $10k piece of software but only paid $100 for it because your license key says parts of the software are disabled? No.
When I was young, my parents taught me to never get in a car with a stranger. They also taught me not to talk to strangers. Given those lessons learned, I don't think it would be so hard to translate those into more modern scenarios such as, "don't talk to strangers online", and more importantly, "don't go out and meet people you meet online, 'cause they're strangers, too". Why is that so hard?
Any noise generated by these engines would likely be well beyond the human hearing range, negating the need for any sound dampening. My main concern would be protection from the turbine blades.

While I'm not familiar with airplay, Plex makes for a great and free media server/streamer that has apps on just about every ecosystem including Roku.

If this bug was in NT 3.1, I wonder if it's also in OS/2?
I'm not sure I follow you. Can you put that into a car analogy, please?
You fool! You changed the outcome by looking at it!
Nah, that's no one's business but the Turks.
In Istanbul but not Constantinople?
Insightfail?
No.
And nothing of value was lost.
Actually, you're wrong as well. Here in the US, GSM operates at 850MHz or 1900MHz, not 800.

No to mention their "Therms of use"
What about a direct HyperTransport link to a socketed video processor? A link via HyperTransport would boost video performance signifigantly.
...never link to a geocities page...
500GHz would be 500 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000.
That link doesn't work...? t=18360>

Nevermind, it finally does support HDCP for use DIY system builders!
Yeah, but does it finally support HDCP for us DIY system builders?
Tetrisphere http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrisphere/ should be a downloadable game. In my opinion THE ultimate Tetris derived game.
