UBI is not alone doing this. Battlefield 3 also installs it's plugin ("ESN Launch Mozilla Plugin") in all browsers on a pc. It's capable of running EA's Origin service, so does it present the same threat?

It's a single basic thing users absolutely must learn. It's a foundation designers use to build their solutions upon. Every tool requires some prior knowledge to use it. You cannot use a spoon until you learned how to use it. Hierarchical s

Isn't it a security hole? Normally, you work with Gmail using https, and sms messages are plain text which could be read and/or collected by mobile operators.

Ah, thanks, the delay does not seem to be explained anywhere. About Wikipedia. Do you still remember the SOPA blackout day? Everybody was warned about upcoming blackout a few weeks beforehand, and most importantly, pretty much everyone supp

ISPs are not required to block this. It's a list of so called extremist materials, mainly some radical religious books, nationalist and racist propaganda and such. Basically, to break the law you have to publish or distribute them, but I ca

Like I said, they did not give people time to vote, nor did they provide any notice of the planned actions beforehand.

Exactly this. But Russian admins do not own Wikipedia and abused their power to pursue their own goals.

Now, please, could you list any banned websites I cannot access?

Also, Wikipedia was blocked without any notice in advance. It was an initiative of Russian administrators with voting taking place on July, 9-th. Vote quickly passed and Wikipedia was blocked on the next day (10-th). It is an organized atte

I was under impression Android is a Java VM (Dalvik) running on top of Linux kernel, meaning it could theoretically work with any base OS capable of running JVM. While it may use some linux-only features, is it really hardwired to it so muc

Every blog post about PHP mentions its 'easy to set up for non-technical people'. I can't disagree more. PHP is as easy as any language should be. As if everyone implies the harder a language to use, the cooler it is. In my understanding a

This. I'm looking for a decent Windows Phone for about a year now. Something similar to HTC One X or Galaxy S III. Instead, they decided to make even cheaper devices.

Epson went even further: http://pryf.livejournal.com/1829152.html It's in Russian, but look at the pics: it's the same cartridges made in 2010, 2011 and 2012.

Default Power Options setting is to turn off hard drives after 20 mins. Any r/w operation would require it to spin up which can take up to 30 secs, during this time the app behind that becomes unresponsive. Seems like the possible cause for

1. It's not hard to implement such file allocation strategy. If it was superior, other OS'es would have adopted it long ago. 2. Scattering files all over the partition makes the longest seek times. This is actually the most inefficient solu

That's just wrong. Pick a font more or less suitable for all the devices and use it. New ipads and iphones will be out in a year, then what? Throw in another couple of fonts? Any project larger than one-page personal blog is destined to tur

Like Adobe Flash with Linux, Valve's effort will suffocate on the need to support hundreds different linux distributions and configurations complete with crappy drivers and audio/video subsystems. Three years is my estimate.

No one needs smaller images anymore. With today's bandwidths getting higher, image sizes are irrelevant. One-time 25% decrease in image size, years in development and more years to widespread adoption, not worth it.

Does camouflage really helps in modern air combat? Aircrafts engage each other mostly on beyond visual range distances, and dogfighting in kinda rare now. Also, HUDs should assist in tracking of targets and highlight them, so camo will make

Word has its flaws, yes, just like anything else. Still, I've tried every other thing available, and nothing comes close. You see, it is the word processor for all the non-techie people out there. They have no idea how to properly use it
