I am surprised you feel that way in a time where much of our government is controlled by Republicans, including the presidency. I think I understand why you feel that way given how localized politics can be, but I would…
> how are you even going to download a third party browser, if the OS doesn't come with a client you can use to download it with? Software was distributed offline as well. It seems like a long time ago now, but there…
Perhaps I am misunderstanding you, but while it is certainly uncommon, it is absolutely possible to directly deliver mail to a recipient's SMTP server. In many cases, this can be done without any authentication…
I'm not familiar with the specifics of the protocol, but your download speeds would be much slower without uploading. I believe that with BitTorrent, you are penalized/rewarded somehow for not uploading vs. uploading.
I may have misunderstood this aspect of the movie, but it seemed to me that the government was determined to convince the public that space exploration, and NASA, were excesses of the past to be avoided. The spacecraft…
It is a bit confusing, but I'm not sure that this is actually an error. It sounds like he may be in a position to directly make that change to Chrome, but is trying to clarify that his thoughts on Firefox and Safari are…
A major frustration for me is that OneDrive does not show up as a folder in Windows 8.1, unless you link your Windows account with a Microsoft account. I absolutely won't be logging into my computers with my Microsoft…
I'm not sure this is true, regardless of how large Bitcoin grows to be. If a significant enough problem were discovered, wouldn't it be in everyone's best interest to protect the value of their wallets by accepting a…
I like Bing, I've found it to be excellent. I've been using it for about a year now, and there's no way I'm going back to Google now.
Well, that's not quite true. There is always a small risk of losing some (or even all) of your money, particularly if you have a large amount in your account. Obviously that risk is very, very low for smaller amounts of…
PGP? It does whole disk encryption, but I don't think it does hidden volumes. (I could be wrong.) I'm not sure if you consider it reputable or not, but the source has been available, at least for recent versions. I'm…
...and keeping Bitcoin working, and possibly enriching the ASIC's owners. So it's not just burning power and creating heat.
You may have lost bitcoins, but you did so before you knew they'd be worth hundreds of dollars. I'd expect that in the future, people will be much more careful to backup (or print out) their private keys. In any case,…
What, so it is in their best interest to release crappy devices? I (excitedly) bought a Windows 8 Samsung tablet last year as soon as I could find somewhere that actually had one in stock. It was really terrible.…
I can see that some people have had serious problems with them. For what it's worth, though, I used their service for the first time last week. It worked fine, and only took a few moments for them to complete the…
Thankfully, we don't have to guess about this particular metric, or use silly results based on web-surfing of certain websites. Almost 9% of Steam users are already on Windows 8:…
I don't think that changes the situation, though. (Incidentally, I'm apparently not the only one who got that detail wrong, since the original post on Reddit was titled "My mistake sir...")
She didn't just "point out" an idiot. She posted the receipt with his name on Reddit, and ended up inciting an internet mob against him: http://www.reddit.com/r/atheism/comments/17i382/my_mistake_s... I agree the guy…
Not to mention, it's free PR. I'd forgotten I needed to order some stuff, but this reminded me, and so I placed the order once they were back up. I'm not sure how common that reaction is, but it might offset the…
I've been using it for a while. There was a beta version available for free, and I believe most enterprise customers have had access to the final RTM version for months. I know that some MSDN subscriptions include a…
That's not an entirely fair description. Windows RT is a real Windows 8 installation, but running on ARM, and restricted to running only executables signed by Microsoft.
Unless Google retaliates somehow. I’d be surprised if they didn’t immediately ban or somehow freeze all of his Google accounts and services in response to a chargeback.
I'm not sure criticisms around cost are as relevant as they used to be. Windows 8 Pro currently sells for $40 on Microsoft's website, and yes, that key can be used to perform a clean install. If you paid $40 to…
Has it actually been established that merely linking to copyrighted content is illegal in the United States? I'm not trying to troll, just genuinely curious. My technical understanding of this could be incorrect, but it…
If you're talking about MagicISO, I agree, I couldn't live without it. Windows 8's built in functionality is good, but not quite as good. Here's the trick to get MagicISO to install correctly on Windows 8:…
