Because you want to support the making of more movies of the same kind. Because you have a conscience. That said, there will always be those who shoplift in stores, or pirate movies. I don't believe those people constitute the majority of t

I think the film-industry should be inspired by this. If they offered something which is as easy to use and as good-looking as this, piracy will certainly decrease. Just put a "Pay here"-button before giving the user their download-link. Sk

I must say that I am a bit disappointed with the decision to include Flash in this release. Not only will it delay it's death, but it also seems pretty anticompetitive unless other companies are also allowed to release plugins for Metro-IE1

Thank you for properly countering my post. First, I'd like to address this: "Go ahead and keep doing it if that's your thing." This hurt me a bit. I was merely quoting and defending the words in this context. I can't recollect having used t

Wait, do you really consider "bitch" or "bitching" in these contexts sexist, nowadays? I've seen it applied to both genders, and, as in this case, a verb. It's moved on from the controversial stage to a common expression.

This passed in Sweden about a year ago, as required by the EU-directive. What's happened since? Essentially, nothing. While a few government-related sites show information on cookies and a checkbox for opting in, noting that the site may no

I don't think TechDirt aims to be "on par" with the traditional newspapers when it comes to "controversial" language ;)

Having around three-four rendering engines on the market is a good thing, they each separately fuel development of new standards and other projects. We don't want Webkit to become the new IE6.

From what I've read, Loreen from Sweden was pretty nervous during her performance (in comparison to the local competition, where she seemed very secure) which affected how she acted and sung on stage pretty badly. It's nice to see that she

Actually, that "pink my-little-pony wielding a battle-axe"-pony is Pinkie Pie ( http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Pinkie_Pie ) ;) She's known for being able to break the fourth wall (unlike the other ponies in FiM) and doing other "impossible" thin

If Firefox is your main browser, and you put NoScript in the "Allow Scripts Globally"-mode, it's not much of a hassle.

NoScript catches them both. It needs to be recognized as much more than just a JavaScript-blocker.

I'm still under the impression that modifying and completely removing are different things, but perhaps it was a sloppy configuration or that they put too much trust in their employees.

"Someone had ran RM * on their shared storage, deleting the file system." Doesn't this command, like any other delete-command, require top privileges (admin/root) that are unavailable in normal situations?

Unless you have a different bug, "the audio delay for volume changes is multiple seconds instead of instant" was fixed in version 2.0.1 along with several other issues.

I feel said to say it, but this is exactly what happened with the Pirate Party of Sweden when another certain controversial party started getting traction. One could hope the situation turns out to be different in Germany, though.

By fixing it, I assume they mean removing this backdoor and put in a new one? If they remove it altogether, there's not much reason to have it there in the first place.

This is interesting, because it probably means an "iTV" is further away than previously speculated (this summer, end of 2012). Unless Apple decides to rush it, which usually results in a bad product, transforming an acquired company's produ

Being open-source and selling doesn't have to exclude each other. You just have to trust the buyers moral, as in, if they're using it to create things they get paid for, they also pay for a license of your application. Also, since when has

"No one's charging you to run their software." I haven't seen anyone claiming that either. However, you're being forced to install and run it to access certain sites and that's why I'd be more than glad to see it replaced with a more open t

There's nothing wrong with speculating based on facts, as long as you make it clear that it's speculation and not reality.
