   I played Assassins Creed 2 on the PS3, and it does not have this copy protection scheme. I bought Bioshock 2 for the PC. It has what I think is a similar protection scheme. It required me to sign up for a Windows Live account, and stay sign

   I know it's hard, but the right thing to do is to listen to the doctors. Be wary of anyone offering a miracle cure - sadly, there are many scam artists out there preying on the desperate.

   Exactly. How do you get that internship as a high school dropout? Thinking back to high school, I couldn't even get a job at McDonalds (probably deemed too nerdy for customer service). My parents aren't computer programmers, and did not kno

   I don't use Dropbox, but this sounds like something that can be easily solved with a symlink. And Windows actually (sort of) supports them: they are called junction points.

   Many countries simply don't have the kind of cable infrastructure that North America has. That makes DSL the only sane choice for existing construction. I would not call ADSL2+ inferior to cable though.

   There's a test referenced in the article. With a picture of several phones' screens showing their response. I think that can be called a fact.

   Kids these days... When I was their age, I talked to my ten thousand friends all the time. While walking uphill to school. Both ways. That takes me back. OK, back to posting rants on the Internet. No offence :)

    There a a number of logos on that page I like a lot more than the ones in the survey. Personal taste, of course, but I guess that's what you are looking for.

    Is there anyone on the net who thinks this filter is a good idea? Pretty much the only people who do are the ones who don't even use the Web, and just keep shouting that it's inherently evil. Oh, and the ones with the government contract to

    From pg's article ( http://www.paulgraham.com/bubble.html ): ...have you ever seen a Google ad? Something is going on here. Admittedly, Google is an extreme case. It's very easy for people to switch to a new search engine. It costs little

    Why not? The JRE was a free download for end users anyway, and open-sourcing it removed a large source of bad press. If Java was open-sourced earlier, it might have seen more adoption by hackers, and innovation. Now, it's an "enterprise" la

    There's also CUPS. Even though Apple bought the rights to it, they kept it open. Also, the KHTML-Apple relationship appears to have been fixed (according to Wikipedia, anyway).

    Hardware costs won't increase, you are right. But the costs to redesign the software to use an extra caching layer are going to be significant. Also, the current situation with flash memory being expensive won't last long, and moving to pur

    I was thinking along the lines of how the iPhone was first unlocked using blank sims. Older sims had a vulnerability that allowed the key to be easily bruteforced. Unfortunately, it appears that newer cards have not been cracked yet, and ca

    Definitions are useful for experts in a field. It is much faster to just refer to a concept by its name rather than explaining it every time. Unfortunately, definitions are a terrible thing for students. Even more unfortunately, most books

    It's easy to see for yourself how many crashes are caused by Flash. Firefox used to crash regularly for me. After I installed FlashBlock it can run pretty much indefinitely.

    Actually, MS has finally figured this out, and has a deal on Office for students ("the ultimate steal"). It's Office Ultimate for $60. Pretty much everyone I told about this who was using a pirated Office bought a copy.
