Not quite, I just live in New Zealand where companies (like EA, yes) feel entitled to charge 300%-500% of the US price and where platforms like Steam kow-tow to this disgusting behaviour. Get this, an average PC game here retails at $110. An average console game retails at $120. Ridiculous? I think so.
Or they could yank it back off you because they don't want you having it, like you "violated the EULA" by... dare I say it, buying the game from another territory because your territory is 75x more expensive.
This is the internet, so I can't tell if you're being serious... that's sarcasm, no? Because if not, then I think Xerox who Apple stole the GUI from would like a word with you...
Don't bother arguing. DECS and his site Roughly Drafted have their heads quite far up Apple's collective arse. He'd never believe they could be wrong. He's the Twitter of Apple threads.
It's not interesting, it's typical. Every place I've been (bar one) telecommuting has been possible due to the nature of the work (even my current employer) but the management wont allow it. But here's the catch: they can just flick an email in the morning saying "I'm working from home the next two days", while we'd get a written warning from HR for doing the same thing.
You can enter your old PC game serial numbers there and download new binaries for mac or PC directly from Blizzard. CD Copy protection has been removed and you can download as many times as you want (for all your PCs)
You forgot to mention that entering your Starcraft key lets you download Brood War legitimately from them too - they don't differentiate between "with expansion" and "without expansion" for Starcraft, because BW didn't have a key in the first place.
I haven't seen the SSL feature on Google Apps for Domains, thou I am sure if you pay them lots of money a year this feature is enabled.
Nope. I have the paid version of the Google Apps for Domains, and I don't have the feature yet either.
Yes you do. Check in the "Manage this domain" panel, and it's on the "Domain Settings > General" tab, under SSL. It's the option below "Hide all ads for this domain".
Actually, the "Vanity Domains" always redirect to mail.google.com/a/example.com anyway, since they wouldn't want your users not realising that they're on Google.
God, I've had some insane conversations with retarded people.
*me**: You know doing what you're doing is terribly terribly insecure, someone might get into your email account! *Him*:.... ah well, it's not like there's anything important in there. I mean what are they gonna do, email someone in my name? *me**:....You have a paypal account right? *Him*: Ya... *me**: And it's linked to your email account right? *Him*: Ya... *me**: And if you forget your paypal password you can have them send you an email to change it right?
I'm gonna stop you right there and tell you what really happens:
*Him*: Nah, they let me in but they lock my account so I can't do anything until I send them like a copy of my phone bill and birth certificate **Me:** Oh, I didn't know that. Now what bullshit example can I pull out of my arse?
As a funny little note, a self-signed cert is actually not vulnerable to the above, because the key is in your hands, not some authority that you have no real business trusting./shrug
You're right, that is funny, since commercial CAs don't have your private key either.
Actually, it isn't available for the Google Apps yet - the setting you describe is within the administrator control panel and applies to a whole lot more than just the GMail interface. The individual mail accounts are still missing the setting.
Really? Then do explain why HDFury still exists - it's the same basic precedent (removing the protections on an electronic device to electronic device communication) but noone's suing them...
And you prove my original point. You make a broad statement about Windows, without explaining what problem or problems you are encountering, and then attribute them to idealogy (technicality - you're specifically claiming that Open Source is different, which I'm interpreting as the Open Source idealogoy). How about backing up YOUR claim?
I don't see why the Windows camp isn't allowed to use a particular argument, but if the Linux camp uses it, it's A-OK. BOTH camps need to shut up, get back in their holes, actually TRY the competition (rather than just blathering on with tired old arguments which were applicable - in 1995) and get some new material.
10 more seconds would give you a program which would dial a remote user so you could yell "Hello World" in their ear. WinMo doesn't have this signing issue (and for those carriers that do enable it, anyone with the tools to create software can disable the requirement too).

We don't search your stuff until we've got damn good reason to think we're gonna find a dead body when we do.
Bullshit. The TSA does this all the time to people merely forced to pause in your distinctly un free country on the way to somewhere else.
No site that actually cares about your one page view because they need it, will ever get paid until you click the ad. You're not helping them.
They actually import your IE search engines (maybe Firefox too if you have it installed?) - mine set to Live Search (for the irony?)
JavaScript? You're doing it wrong.

They also remove the game if you claim you're from a different region because you object to paying 300% of the US price for the same game.

Steam sucks. Period.
Impulse carries all of Stardock's games because it is MADE by Stardock.
They're also getting all of Gas Powered's future games too, which is cool.
Lifted from Apple?

Really? Then explain how Microsoft manages to make Windows so (comparatively) cheap!
There was a product called Office, but that trademark didn't stop Sun using OpenOffice.

Actually, the apps administrator can only enable that for premium accounts. It's in the help file.

Actually, no. The correct symbol is "sm" - Web 2.0 isn't trademarked, it's servicemarked.

No, they're busy counting their Google supplied money.
