My ISP's been playing games with throttling my (overpriced, shitty upstream speed) connection for at least 2 years. They have a virtual monopoly because I live in the middle of nowhere, and I know some poor guy who lives near one of the worse exchanges whose connection goes to hell at the same minute each day.
After all, it's the same stuff, just more efficient.
It's not the same stuff. In keeping with Sony's customary behaviour of cutting more corners with every hardware revision, this time around they've gone and removed the dual-boot ability.
I'm guessing it's just plain old douchebaggery. If you pay attention for long enough you'll see days where some kook tags every story with a nonsensical word like this, or gathers their buddies to mod everyone in a thread -1 Offtopic, or any number of pointless things.
â Apple refused to support ogg because it's technically inferior and they didn't want to put dev effort into something worse than they already have.
I guess being compatible with much larger players doesn't come into it then, which leads me to wonder why they bothered to put all that dev effort into making an X11 compatibility layer for their OS.
No need to imagine, it happens all the time in the drugs industry. If you had a patent on a cure for something, were raking in billions a year by only treating its symptoms, and were an immoral greedy bastard, what would you do?
If IPv6 is here and working today, I should be able to use it. How do I do that?
1) Install linux on router (openwrt will do fine) 2) Install radvd on router (opkg install radvd) 3) Read instructions to set it up (radvd doesn't have a sugar-coated web CGI like most of owrt's packages) 4) Poke the initscript or reboot it 5) There is no step 5.
If you're lazy Apple's Airport routers supposedly do step 1-4 already.
How are the Microsoft faithful going to spin this one?
They're already spinning like a gyroscope. That "half" in the headline only applies to the number without a currency symbol. Add the currency symbols and the UK price is actually higher.
The real danger to the west is the overwhelming number of complete fucking idiots it breeds that demand that all technological progress is halted "for teh children!1".
I'll ask one question. Are 24 songs worth utterly destroying somebody's life over, making them destitute and indebted to a soulless conglomerate of businesses?
Destroying lives for selfish gain is patriotic; it was how the entire United States of America came into existence.
TFA says that instead of fixing what was there, they managed to make a different part of the eye more sensitive. Maybe this treatment might become commonplace one day, to give people better-than-normal eyesight where it's needed.

Other OSs deal just fine with older drivers when they want to. Open Source is not an excuse for unstable APIs.
I'm running Debian Sid on a box with a SiS something-or-other graphics chip from half a decade ago.
Corporate arrogance is not an excuse for unmaintained software.
Do Windows users??
Well, there's _someone_ out there stupid enough to make spamming a profitable business...
The plural of "anecdote" is not "proof".
But then, neither is the plural of "+1, Funny".

How is that amazing? It's just a higher-resolution version of Braille.
Meanwhile, you can keep on living in your fantasy world where hardware can magically upgrade itself to run the latest and greatest software.
Yes, a world where 64-bit OSes and 64-bit CPUs lack the ability to run 32-bit apps concurrently is truly fantasy.
If you're whining about Chrome being proprietary, why do you use Firefox, which is just as bad, instead of Iceweasel or GNU Icecat?
What is puzzling about Chrome/Chromium on Linux is why Google made it look like modern desktop app and not the usual 'designed by a blind person
Yeah, fuck GTK and 10 years of building a GUI toolkit full of accessibility aids. Who cares about disabled people anyway?
Obviously not Ben Goodger.

This would never have been a problem if everyone had just used DNASEC to begin with.
how can I express a 5 minute 24-track 24-bit 192kHz song made up of hundreds of synchronized audio clips in HTML so I can store it for posterity?
First tell me how I can write a message board in WAV format?

C has had pointers since... how many decades ago?
"Fear" of copying is just programmers with a FUCKING CLUE. I doubt even a microkernel would use such a brain-damaged design.

most users don't have any idea about how to configure a REJECT rule
These are the same users who are apparently capable of configuring IPv4 address masquerading on their home LAN?

Unless your hard disk has the secret plans to the Death Star on it, just run `hdparm --security-erase-enhanced /dev/sda`.
If you buy an IBM hard disk, it'll even do that for you!

They're a danger to the rest of the world too.
"Catch the Wave"? ...or not. Sounds like an infection...
