Don't forget that Microsoft('s lackey) took care of lowering their value as much as possible before buying the Devices and Services unit for some spare change.

That's quite nice, although I imagine extracting the graphics is less demanding work than redoing the physics and stuff, heh.

2097/XL had a PC version which is relatively good and I still play it from time to time.

No, it doesn't mean anything like that. My point is that people are resentful about government (an entity that is supposed to work for them) gathering their data while at the same time not minding private businesses mining probably eve

Yeah, that's a good point, heh. Although I think the potential to abuse might as well be the same, even if they can't legally use it.

Willingly and knowingly? How many people do you think know what everything Facebook, Google, Microsoft and others log and process about them? As far as I know, majority people believe that it's the omnipresent ads that make the service

I find it interesting that people have problem with the law-enforcing organizations spying on them, but if megacorporations whose sole purpose is to make money off its user base, that's OK.

I prefer Flash for videos and well...everything that can just start playing, take up bandwidth and make noise. Because it's easier to block that than an HTML5 content (without any specialized plug-ins in proper browsers, too).

Never heard of anyone using Changetip and not everyone has Paypal. Also not everyone is using their public email as their PP email. I know some people who refuse to accept "donations" for some moral reasons that are unfathomable t

Isn't this a good time to recapitulate the things why LinkedIn is not exactly ideal social network? I forgot most of it, other than how they scour through people's address books.

I was under the impression that this is an accepted thing for both Apple and Microsoft, while Google is the "we know what's good and you products deal with it" company.

Yes, but I like to reward people whose content I consume regularly and not everyone is on Patreon, sadly.

Isn't that a similar issue [1] to what Zoe Keating went though not long ago? [1] - http://zoekeating.tumblr.com/post/108898194009/what-should-i...

But they will still track and log everything I do no matter what kind of subscription I have, won't they. And the site won't become any less bloated. Well, at least it's a step forward.

Lovely, I'll use this to educate my boss who keeps saying "those animations in Assassin's Creed look so unrealistic, is this the best they could come up with?"

No, I know very well what I'm talking about. I see (and hear) those cars every time I go out to the street. Old, new, large, small.

Like in most "pro-diesel" pieces, the author doesn't consider maintenance costs, fuel quality and the sound (especially with TDI engines). Oh well.

The worst thing about Facebook I personally see is the peer (or even professional) pressure to have an account there and be active. And them doing what all (American?) megacorps do: buying small companies, stripping them of assets, absorbin

I believe a lot of people think Internet is an entirely different dimension. "What happens on the Internet stays on the Internet" or something.

Oh, so that's why I see only 5 or so skin-coloured pixels.

Seems like this EU gov't isn't as "pro-freedom" or "pro-internet" as the previous one (?) was. And I don't want to believe that's just because Viviane Reding is gone from it.

No I mean you said that "because it turned out to be true, the original argument wasn't a fallacy", which is kind of "reversed fallacy fallacy" I guess, but I don't think it matters which "direction"

I appreciate the offer, but I'm currently stuck in EU railway sector and I think we both know what state is KiwiRail currently in, heh.

It's still a fallacy, arguing the fact that fallacious argument can turn out to be true is a fallacy fallacy :)

OK, so I take it this is "anonymous" only for the application owner, Facebook still knows exactly where you log in, when and whatnot. So, and please correct me if I'm wrong, this is just logging in using Facebook without (pro

As a wannabe-kiwi, I'm hardly surprised. PM Key has been 'cooperative' with the US in most things so it's not surprising Five Eyes are being used to its/their fullest potential. Good thing GCSB has been talked about

"How could we get a list of people who are afraid of being spied on, and therefore are suspicious?" Surely you wouldn't be worried if you had nothing to hide! /s
