PS/2 has unlimited simultaneous keypresses (n key rollover/NKRO). USB, depending on where you look, either cannot, or needs a workaround to do more than 6 keys and a certain number of modifiers, generally 4 (shift/alt/ctrl/super).
The argument seems to be falling into two categories:
1. Fuck you, don't tell me what to do. Fuck bitches if they can't handle me looking at their tits. 2. Sensible human beings.
I've made complaints to HR about the boys club environment at places, about the gay jokes, about the racist jokes, about the whole stream of things. I'm not doing it because their shitty behaviour is directed at me; I did it because it's a shitty environment to be in. It's shitty because sometimes, people that are hurt by it, that do feel persecuted by it, that do feel like they're being treated as second class, don't say anything and they suffer in the workplace. Other times, people do say shit and are accused of being overly-sensitive or of over-reacting. It's lose lose, and it makes for a toxic workplace.
Are you so self-centred that you honestly believe that you being able to make a stupid joke is a more important thing than taking minor steps to make sure you're not making someone feel shitty about themselves? Do you really need to make comments based on gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation? What are you gaining out of that?
The thing about sexism is that it's institutionalized, it's everywhere, and it does have a negative impact on people; men and women. Debasing people by acting like all they are is their physical appearance sucks. We as fat, pimple faced, social outcasts should get that; being shit on for what you are sucks, it's not fun, it's not a good thing to be surrounded by, and it doesn't come down to you manning-up. It comes down to people not being shitty to each other, why is that so fucking hard?
It makes no sense for a company to offer this to residential clients. They can charge a premium for a business plan which offers official support for servers, and generally grants an unfiltered connection with a static IP. Why cut yourself out of that mark up?
My 75Mb connection, with speedboost up to some ungodly rate (highest I've seen it burst to was 120Mb/sec for about a minute), is constantly saturated when I want it to be.
"Femminism is supposed to be about equality and social change, right ? Then here's a social "problem" I would like the change: the complete double-standard backwardness that has been instituted in the name of "feminism." For example: if a guy expresses his sexuality or his sexual nature in any way he is labeled a "pig" but if a woman does it it's applauded as "liberating.""
[citation needed]
If a woman was going around bragging about her conquests she'd be labelled a slut and people would talk shit on her, while the dude, after being called a pig, is applauded.
You don't see the impact of patriarchal society because you don't experience the effects. The same way that many white people feel that there is no such thing as institutionalized racism in North America because they don't experience it.
If the comment in the code were 'slanty eyes' nobody would be disputing it's racist nature, but because this is an issue of sexism it's ignored. There is a societal bias against women, the same as there's one against minorities.
The foundation of the theory only seems polarizing because again, we as men, don't experience the institutionalized sexism that western society has. It's not overt "you can't do that because you're a woman" it's "here beautiful, let me do that for you." Just like institutionalized racism isn't a lynch mob lookin' to hang someone any more, it's being watched by security in a store for being black.
The world is a pretty sexist place. See the Anita Sarkeesian thing and subsequent fury of sexist idiocy that accompanied it. Simply because you don't feel it's sexist, doesn't mean it's not.
There is a societal impression that sexism has been defeated because the wage gap has narrowed and women have the right to vote. It's simply not the case, discrimination against women is alive and well. The attitude about what is and what is not sexist plays a pretty big part in the propagation of that discrimination.
"Version 2 was released as a beta version on August 22, 2005. The new feature that distinguishes Desktop 2 from Desktop is the addition of Sidebar, a panel that displays personalized information, which can be placed on either side of the Windows desktop and can display real-time news, e-mail, photos, stocks, and weather, among others. Sidebar includes a search box that can search just the PC or Google's other search types (like Web, Images, News, Groups.) Google Desktop 2 graduated from beta on November 3, 2005. New features include a sidebar plug-in for Google Maps and more plug-in developer support.[8]"
The patent in question was filed on December 1, 2011, one month after the final was released, and several months after the feature was released.
I did the same thing as you when this all came up. It did include web results by default.
You have a significant lack of understanding how this works.
Local results are indexed by the local OS, that index is queried by the local OS and the results of that query are returned to the search results. The query is also submitted to the internet, where the internet search server checks its index and returns those results to the client. At no time do your local results get transmitted to the internet search server.The only thing that is transferred is the search query, if you do not want to search the local device, you can disable this feature.
Some of you need to talk to some women about how they would feel if a guy did that to them. Your idea of what constitutes rape is outdated if you feel it must be a violent attack where a man forces himself inside a woman. The thing that makes it rape is the violation, not the thing used to violate.
1. In that future EA won't be the one handing over the data, it will be harvested by the TPM mandated on every internet connected device, or from your ISP, or from Google or Microsoft or Facebook. The information EA is potentially gathering is infinitely less than from any of those other sources. Steam also tracks and bans based on Blacklisted software/hardware on your PC. Yes, EAs shit is worse, but it's a long way from the evilness of everything you're describing, and not truly worth the enormous amount of attention it garnered.
2. In the "Internet-Based Services" portion of the Windows 7 EULA, it states that all information collected can be shared with others, and that if you don't want that, you don't get to use those services. Those services being the Internet-Based ones; you're allowed to keep using Windows, but not the internet services. I find vague mentions of what could be included, but not what it is limited to, in the Win7EULA. It may have changed since XP, I can't verify based on quick Googles, but Windows Update maintained a hardware fingerprint, and a list of all installed applications and their usage frequency as reported in appwiz.cpl, running applications, and a freakin' GUID; all of which was transferred to MS every time the update service checked for new updates.
3. You seem to be confusing the issue I'm raising here. You're saying MS/et al. Require X to use service, but ask for Y to use other things, so if you only provide X you only get access to the features that X buys. Origin is requiring X to use service, and has no other things to offer. So, you don't want to give them X, you don't get to use the services that X buys.
4. I haven't connected Origin to EA since after I downloaded ME3's updates a bit back, but have no problem playing ME3 single player at all. It doesn't connect, Origin doesn't connect, I still have all my DLC and can play my games in single player mode.
Most of this is me advocating for the devil, I don't like the idea of a company being able to gather all that data and hand it over to anyone who asks. I also won't buy anything that requires some bullshit always-on DRM. But in the scheme of things, not even the grand one, the shit that Origin is requesting is really not that big of a deal to me, I give Google infinitely more information on a daily basis, and that matters even less.
Should they not promote their own products on their own pages? Should Apple include a link to Dell in its search results?
Yeah yeah, Google's a search engine used to find information on other sites, fuck off. That argument holds no weight and is complete bullshit. When I go to Dell's support site, I am looking for support results, but still get offers on other Dell products, same with Microsoft, same with Ubuntu, same with any other fucking company.
Google is under no obligation to hide their other products. Now, if they were spoofing the search results and spamming Chrome links in the results any time anyone searched for internet browser I'd agree with you. But they're not, they're putting a sparkly ad on their front page, and one ad in the Ads section on the main page. Big, fucking deal.
Then why put it in the eula? Seriously. Given the community is fairly upset about it, why not just remove it?.
Because it's only in the event of a conflict. Which, initially I figured was a good thing due to the more restrictive privacy policy; now thinking further on the matter, not so much, as all they need to do is say their privacy policy includes selling your info to anyone who asks, So, fair enough.
I don't buy "Origin" games. However, I think its perfectly legitimate for me to tell them as loudly as I like why I don't buy them, and to advocate others not buy them as well.
Totally fair. It's also perfectly legitimate for me to tell you that you're crying wolf, and to attempt to persuade other people that you're crying wolf as well. Having privacy concerns about this type of thing is fine, especially when it's being used to generate cross-company sales. Selling the information to advertisers is something that would have me up in arms decrying how evil this is and all of that. But they've stated the information stays there, and I'm ok with that; in order to avoid an actual privacy scandal, they'll stick to using it to identify what their target audience's hardware is, what other games you're playing, what games you're buying from their competitors, and other shady business crap that I assume relatively any major label software is going to do. But they're not selling it off to companies I have not made an agreement with.
It is to me. There are all kinds of abusive things they can do with the information that fall short of selling it. And more to the point, I don't really care what they do with it; I don't think its any of their damned business.
I'm probably missing something here, but honestly I can't really think of anything I would consider abusive based on their collecting the information and not selling it. I understand that EA is going to use whatever information and analytics they can gather from me to try to get me to give them more money. Be that using the information to offer me deals, craft DLC, or distribute different games that I may want to purchase, I'm not that worried about it.
Microsoft asks for permission to send an error report, and I can turn that off without any issue. If Microsoft made it a condition of using their operating system that they got to collect this information, there would be huge lawsuits. And lets be honest here... microsoft has at least as much, if not more of a legitimate need for this data. But they have decency to ask for it, and respect the wishes of users who say "no".
Actually, the entire Internet-Based Services portion of the Windows EULA says that Microsoft will take all sorts of information and send it back to Microsoft, where they state they may share your information with other hardware/software vendors. The only way to not send this information is to not use the service(s). You can turn off a feature of Windows, but you can't use that feature without signing off on the requirements to transmit information to whomever is providing the service.
Additionally, Microsoft does make it a requirement of using their operating system. Activation and occasional validation checks scan your hardware and scan for software and transmit that information to Microsoft.
Then perhaps you should be posting the links to sandboxing origin's client rather than links claiming Origin is a "non-story", because I don't have any software on my PC that I've felt compelled to sandbox to that degree just to retain some that level of control over my own privacy from the vendor.
Then you're probably not reading the EULAs of all the software you're installing, or you're just pissed at EA for doing what quite a few major software vendors do. Things like iTunes and Acrobat are significantly worse in what they do.
The terms do exceed what some other EULAs ask for, it's our call to decide if the service is worth what's required.
The privacy policy does matter, as the 'legally binding document' dictates that the privacy policy trumps the EULA.
They don't need it as a condition of providing you service, that's true; but they don't need a client to provide you a video game, they don't need to allow you to download the game instead of going out and purchasing it from a store, they don't need to provide you patches, updates, additional content either. But they do those things, and they require you to give them information back. If you're not cool with that, don't use the service, that's opting-out. Get your games from Steam, or buy a console.
I back raising a fuss about things when they're worth raising a fuss over. But a company saying "we want to know what hardware people have, and what installation/uninstallation problems they have and what background processes may be running that will b0rk our shit, and you need to tell us that in order to use our service" isn't worth raising a fuss over. If they were selling that information, as originally was the case, this would definitely be worth raising hell over. But they're not, so this ceased to be something that I think is worth really caring about.
That said, I would like to see an opt-out, but since there isn't one, I run it under a different user account and lock it out of anywhere I don't think it needs to be.
Origin does nothing that Steam doesn't do, it's just a bit more convoluted to figure that out since you have to actually look at the privacy policy that the EULA references.
How about cons like, another decade of reliance on a fuel source that pollutes in every step of its manufacture and consumption. Regardless of if you think that fracking is safe or not, fossil fuels are bad for earth. They're bad for political stability, the environment, and are going to become prohibitively expensive before we come up with a truly viable alternative.
Bio-diesel is a good stepping stone to get off of traditional fossil fuels; which is what should be the end goal. Starting to rely on technologies like fracking and tar-sands based production proves that we're scraping the bottom of the barrel. I remember hearing about how there was never going to be a time where getting oil from the Alberta tar sands was going to be cost effective, because oil was way easier to process from other sources. But Canada is now a huge oil producer, and nearly all of it comes from there.
We are running out of oil, or at the very least, running out of easy to procure oil. If that doesn't make you think that moving to something that we're going to be able to use forever (solar, tidal, wind, blueberry-based-fusion, or whatever other renewable resource we come up with), then you're too locked in your 'anyone who's against this is against progress and wants us to be hippies' mentality, and there's no point in anyone trying to tell you different.
Moving to so-called green energy HAS to happen. Not solely because of global warming, or environmental concerns, but because I want to be able to drive a car in 50 years, without having to pay $60/gal, and heat/power my house for less than $10,000 a month.

No, but she doesn't know how to install Linux either. My grandma buys a computer with Windows on it, and tthat's it.
This is strictly related to computers with Windows preinstalled. Anyone who's ripping out Windows to install linux knows how to get in the BIOS.
If you don't want to deal with this, don't buy a computer with Windows on it.
It leaves them going into their BIOS when they want to install, selecting either:
Disable Secure Boot
or
Installing their key
