No, he's saying that not only is it pointless, but that it makes things a pain in the ass. He's also pointing it out so that people don't have a false sense of security. This is all true. I used to hide mine but it made it more of a pain in the ass than it was worth. That's basically security theater.:p
Kind of dumb but helpful...I had my password saved in my browser and looked it up there. I'm sure that is insecure as hell though and now that I realize that my browser just throws it out there without encrypting it at all...I'm a bit nervous. As much as I love computers and shit...sometimes I hate them.
Honestly, like, I don't think you even looked. Lol. I've been using this for some time now because my media server is housing all files/downloads/etc. It is extremely handy and I just tested it with a magnet URL. In fact, to my dismay, the closest equivalent does not work for Chrome.:(
At any rate, I use that for uTorrent and I've got another extension for SABnzbd. It works quite well.
Just out of curiosity is that $10.5 billion in TOTAL taxes or medicare taxes? Because if that's total taxes...well, I'm pretty sure that isn't the only government service they're using.
Took the words right out of my mouth. This article is pointless conjecture. Oh they sell a lot of Android phones so they "could" do that stuff and yet there is no evidence of this actually being something that is going to happen. I hate this kind of stupid shit sometimes...I really do. They're manufacturing a controversy.
Thank you. I'm amazed this kind of stuff is posted with barely any response back. They aren't just pulling reasons out of their asses for Iran to not have nukes...Iran is fucking crazy and homicidal. You can say whatever about the US strong arming people but to say we'd bring on Armageddon just for the hell of it isn't even remotely close to being true. We aren't perfect but Iran is insane and basically a threat to the entire world.
For fuck's sake. Did you forget to mention the dotcom bubble and 9-11 in that post or what? Seriously. I'm actually FOR raising taxes on the rich but your post is completely disingenuous. You can't talk about the economy during that time and not mention 2 gigantic economy breaking events in the process. Maybe the tax decisions did have some good or bad effects but honestly, most of the good or bad was caused by those 2 events...unless you actually have some evidence to the contrary. I honestly wonder if Clinton had done absolutely nothing if we would have pretty much had the same thing going on while the dotcom bubble was building.
I know you're being pedantic but yes, plenty of people actually do like reality TV. Many of them are, shockingly, not idiots as everyone seems to imply. Not every reality show is American Idol either...a lot of the cooking shows (eg: Top Chef) have reality things and aren't anywhere near as retarded as something like Big Brother or The Real World or whatever.
I mean yeah, there's a lot of shit on TV. On the other hand, maybe people here are just being assholes. As it turns out, the fact you don't like something doesn't make it shit. It makes it something you don't like. Let's come down off our high horses for a moment, shall we? I'm sure everyone here is guilty of liking something that other people think is shitty. Hell, I listened to the new Limp Bizkit album and liked it. Is that "shitty" music? Yeah, pretty much...but I still enjoyed it, so how many fucks do I give? Some people think Weeds is a shitty show. Plenty of people think that the Big Bang Theory is a shitty show. Maybe, just maybe, we can all stop being dick heads and looking down on people for the entertainment they enjoy.
But please, continue. Wouldn't want to interrupt everyone being giant gaping assholes. You are perfect in every way. Everything YOU like is the best that there is.
Disclaimer: I actually hate most reality TV, but you guys are just being dickheads, honestly.
My first complaint: Chrome's gigantic header is 18 pixels taller than IE, on my netbook that extra 3% of the tiny screen that is unusable for content is kind of a big deal.
Are you actually being serious right now? 18 pixels? I honestly thought this post was starting off as a funny joke and then you kept going. Seriously just...people like you are infuriating. You find the most ridiculous shit to complain about. I'm serious. This stupid war over the height of the header has gotten ridiculous now.
Maybe the browser makers should just make a "netbook mode" and stop forcing those of us with large monitors use this tiny ass interface that makes it a pain in the ass to do things. It is the same reason people are pissed off at GNOME. One size does not fit all. A user with a 24" screen running at 1080 does not have the same needs as the guy with a 10" netbook running at 1024x600 or the guy with the Android tablet.
What, because it's electric it won't need ANY maintenance? What planet do you hail from where electric devices don't break down? You realize that a lot of the basic components of a car will probably still exist and require maintenance. Yeah, you won't need oil changes, but stuff is still going to break.
If you know where the "blind spot" is, you can still check it. Spots in my car that are hard to see I turn my head very quickly and actually look. They still shouldn't drive there because that is stupid, but that still isn't an excuse.
I had none of these things and I just bought after the market crash so I'm not sure what your deal is. I doubt they've changed that much since then considering that would have been the time they made the most changes. They asked for the pay stubs, checked credit history and...that was about it. What bank was this? o_O
You do realize that a lot of sites use Download.com as their official download? I usually click whatever link they have as the main one. I'd rather use up Download.com's bandwidth than suck it away from the small little developer site. I'll definitely be avoiding them like the plague now though. This is just ridiculous.
Thank you. I'm so tired of seeing this shit like somehow Netflix is just trying to screw with us. How does anyone not understand the reasons this shit is happening? They've all been thrown out several times and it has absolutely nothing to do with Netflix itself. What is going on here is absurd. What the movie studios and whatnot are doing should be illegal. We'll sell you our product if you agree to this huge list of ridiculous demands? No, I think not. Fuck you, Starz.
New to some of us? No. Honestly though, does it hurt to spread the word as much as possible though? I think not. CNet can go to hell. It's bad enough when the program makers do it but now the place offering downloads is packing this shit in? Seriously? They don't think the program makers might be a little bit pissed off at this prospect?
And god help you if you want to use a local HTTPS service on Chrome. You have to install certificates and all kinds of shit and it's basically impossible. It takes a few clicks in Firefox but it basically isn't even possible in Chrome.
Damn this computer. I accidentally modded this redundant instead of insightful. Posting to undo.
While I'm at it, I really have to agree here. I feel bad for Netflix because I know it isn't entirely their fault. The studios are really screwing them over and quite frankly it's almost criminal what they're doing at this point. God forbid they give reasonable pricing and just let us have what we want. No, they need to make 10x as much money while the number of people willing to pay for these ridiculously limited services dwindles (selection sucks because of their shitty contract deals). The greed of Hollywood rears its ugly head once again. Your Lord of the Rings example perfectly illustrates what a steaming pile of shit the negotiation and contract thing is. I honestly can't decide if they actually want more money from Netflix or if they're just trying to kill them off.
Quite honestly, if the people at the party I'm going to are too good for the $10 cupcakes, they can go to hell. Given the option, I'd probably buy 2 boxes of the $10 cupcakes, spend $20 less, and everyone would be happy.
How about you calm down there, buddy? I was commenting most on the fact that Analytics is a little slow. Also for your information on where it goes, I can say with certainty that when I did it, all the help files said to put it at top. They've since changed it (probably because they too realize it holds up page loading). I'm not claiming I've invented some genius process...most people that know anything about web pages would have figured out that trick in the 3 seconds it took me. You're a bit combative over nothing. o_O
Yeah, I've seen lots of great proposals like this over and over again by people here, Reddit, etc but none of it matters because those pieces of crap in Congress are never going to vote themselves into limiting the money train. I honestly think it would take open revolt for that to happen. I mean honestly...how are we going to get them to do this? How? I think that's the only reason most of those assholes are even in government in the first place.
Fuck me. I'm going to have to change my Origin password to something completely different now. I have a bad habit of using the same passwords at places because I have a nice secure one and I'm not a robot...I forget things. I might have to start using some sort of...system or something. Ugh. I'm so tired of this shit.
Slashdot Mirror
I'm more worried about nefarious programs or whatever rummaging through there...not my wife finding the passwords. :p
Setting a password up for Firefox doesn't do jack shit, as far as I'm aware. That's all stored in an sql-lite db anyway.
No, he's saying that not only is it pointless, but that it makes things a pain in the ass. He's also pointing it out so that people don't have a false sense of security. This is all true.

No...the corporate money completely drowns out any individual contributions. I can damn near guarantee that.

No kidding. I started putting those at the very bottom of the pages and that seemed to help somewhat. I'll take improvements where I can get them. :p

It usually popped up when they submitted the article or just in reference to them letting it through at all. Man...that's just stupid. :p
