Depends on the app, some of them go for quite a bit of money. By which I mean $30 and more. But, you do have the opportunity to return it within 24 hours if you don't like it and most have some sort of trial available.
Depending upon the app, it can be quite worth the cash. Documents to go for instance is quite nice.
It's linked to your Google Checkout so you shouldn't be having that trouble. If you are, I'd suggest you contact Google. Personally, I have yet to have that problem with any of my Apps. Well, apart from the one which I purchased directly from the developer and had to manually input my registration info.
Google doesn't have a way of getting paid by people living in various parts of the world, and won't allow devs in those places to charge either.
At most that's a third of the pirate copies, but it is still a substantial number, and it's a bit dishonest to suggest that those people without the ability to pay would do so.
Well, pirating if you could pay is one thing, but the only method of paying for apps is Google Checkout which isn't available everywhere that Android phones are available. So, there's clearly something that I'm missing. A lot of people live in areas which don't allow you to pay for the apps even if you want to and have the money to do so.
App developers in other parts of the world, which Google doesn't allow to sell apps, have had to go to lengths to get around that by doing things like selling registration codes for supposedly free apps.
Is that Spanish word blocked on the Spanish language site? I mean in English, there's little legitimate reason to use that word outside of writing a character that uses that sort of language.
If they didn't do this they'd have to worry about popping up smutty results before you'd finished typing and how to figure out exactly where to draw the line.
The big issue would be if you're typing in a search which would temporarily resolve to something illegal whereas the full search wouldn't. It's easier for them to temporarily block the search until you tell them to go ahead, than it is to risk being sued when somebody goes to prison when the search accidentally puts child porn in their cache.
Yeah, but "beaver" isn't blocked whereas "shaved beaver" is and "donkey" isn't blocked whereas "donkey sex" is blocked. It might not be system created black lists, but it's not particularly blind to context either.
Yeah, they don't block beaver, however if you prepend it with "shaved " that is indeed blocked. Similar for donkey requiring something extra to get it blocked.
Looks like they did at least put some effort into most of the terms to lessen the chances of doing that to something that's genuinely innocuous.
That's a solid point, previously, this wasn't an issue as Google didn't show you anything until you pressed enter. Imagine all the times you were looking for information on rescuing swimmers and accidentally typed in "Pamela Anderson."
As others have said, somebody will almost certainly port the code over to CUDA or in some other fashion use the GPU to do the work. Hardware solutions probably aren't going to be around too much longer, although, as full dubbing facilities, they may have some utility.
I don't fully understand it, but the point of HDCP is for the signal to not be unencrypted at any point in the journey from the disc to the viewer. That is except for the last hop from the video card to the monitor, and only if the monitor knows the secret password to identify itself as secure.
What this would theoretically do would be allow for a software program to essentially remove that requirement and decrypt it on its way from the drive to the monitor. If I understand correctly, you'd still need to have a way of making the drive cough up the stream.
I didn't realize that you'd been appointed final arbiter of who is and is not guilty. Perhaps we could have you decide which GITMO inmates are guilty and save the cost of a trial.
Or perhaps you're full of it and don't have any idea as to who and how many are genuinely making backups.
It's oddly ironic how Sony, the company behind Betamax suddenly became concerned with piracy as soon as they were making money off of selling original copies.
Technically speaking that wouldn't help. The courts have forced companies that offer backup software for copyright materials to stop selling the software. But deCSS was ruled to be protected by the 1st amendment protections on free expression.
So, it's likely that people giving away software and instructions are free to continue, anybody selling a product to do it not so much.
That's not done anymore, at least not around here. Back in 2000 or there abouts when we first got a cable modem, they included 3 static IPs. These days though, you typically get one IP and it's dynamic.
Because most people are thinking of PAT rather than NAT. And NAT is usually used as an N:M mapping where there isn't a guarantee that the IP on one side resolves to one and only one IP on the other.
For an estimate made in the mid 50s, it was astonishingly accurate. Remember that was prior to the 70s and OPEC or the modern increases in fuel effiency.
Remember, just because you think you know better than the experts doesn't necessarily mean that you do. For estimates that were made when they were, those estimates proved to be quite good. The only reason we haven't run out of IPv4 addresses yet is the rampant abuse of NAT and reuse of various blocks of private IPs.
You were being ignorant. Comparing a fascist to a fascist is quasi reasonable, even if it is sort of absurd to imply a similar level of crime. But comparing somebody that's been regularly accused of being a socialist to a fascist just makes one a jack ass.
Indeed, I don't even trust my browser to store that information, let alone somebody else's server. I personally use Keepass and KeepassX to do that for me.
Yes, but Firefox Sync presumably only works with Firefox. Xmarks was great because it worked with a handful of different browsers over a handful of different platforms. Every once in a while I need IE for something and it's really nice to have access to my main bookmarks from there as well.

90% is fairly typical as far as I can tell. That's what it was for Machinarium as well. From what I can tell a piracy rate of only 80% is quite good.

That's just because the bible doesn't include a command line interface.
That must've been a pain. I suppose that you would've been in trouble if somebody typed in: "Hi I'm Dick." and it chopped that out.

The former, as it leaves them with less time and energy to plot, duh.
