Sorry, no, that's just wrong. IANAL but it's rather clear that responding to DMCA takedowns is what grants you safe harbor protection, and such takedowns are made under penalty of perjury. Unless you are outside the US or you're happy to lo

Don't forget, they also have an opportunity to downgrade quite a few of their paying customers from 50GB to e.g. 20GB.

Windows Live is the online brand, all their free-download software/online services are "Windows Live X". I'm not sure how it cheapens it any more than if it was "Microsoft X" or "iProduct"...

Stock Android is also not modified with any handset-specific features that genuinely add value.

3.1GHz is also 3GHz to one digit of precision. There are chips closer to 4Ghz than 3, though. The author should have aimed higher. http://www.intel.com/products/processor/corei7EE/index.htm

How many 4GHz chips have been produced that don't need watercooling to operate at load?

Dyscalculia. I've known other people have that same problem too; thankfully it's more annoying than demoralising like dyslexia can be.

Reading this thread you'd think the difference between 20% and 19% is as great as life and death.

Perhaps your next post should argue that Facebook's one-to-one video calling is a better mode of communication than Google+ group text discussion (or vice versa). You would even have strengthened your argument if you noted how Facebook list

The point is that the rule should not actually be a rule. At least, I took it to be a simple reversal of the original 'rule' post.

Multiplayer save/load is not prevented by technical issues as much as it is by development time constraints and the ideal that such a situation is unnecessary. A scenario editor is not that far removed from dumping the current game state. R

What would anyone who doesn't care enough do? If they don't vote, they increase the power of other voters. If they vote randomly, their votes would cancel each other out on average, making it as if they hadn't voted. If they vote based on w

That's a specious argument. Something like gay marriage is the result of writing a law ; the deficit is an accumulation of many public spending programmes enacted under the law more often than by its creation. This is basically a method of

It is malicious IMO in the sense of inciting things like xenophobia or homophobia and having a negative effect on society, but it's not in the sane league as interfering with police investigations.

It comes set with a default number. Given they have to send you personalized details anyway (phone number etc.) how hard would it have been to randomize it like banks do? They should take some of the blame for it. But nobody seems to care.

The Metro is mostly recycled news stories and press releases from their sister paid-for newspaper, the Daily Mail; their costs are going to be a little less.

Actually the Telegraph ran several articles on the issue, including front pages. They are hardly fans of Murdoch. The Guardian really went for it though.

I found it hard to tell the difference between content in the Sun and the News of the World on a good day. The loss is one of brand, little more.

The problem with music players is that not everyone wants to consume music in the same way. BTW you can create folders of playlists. Between that and search, it makes it manageable enough for me.

FWIW I haven't had a single problem like this since I got a hard case for my phone (HTC Desire HD) with raised edges. Of course this changes the aesthetic quite a bit - a trade I'll make for the protection of the case - and doesn't help if

You're missing the point and attacking a strawman to boot. Nobody suggested you take out a warranty on things you can probably live without, like a toaster, iPod or TiVo. Other things like a washing machine, you might do, because losing acc

That's a non sequitur. Copyright does not grant you a living; it grants you the opportunity for one. Few writers make a living from writing, not because they are denied the opportunity, but because not enough people are willing to pay fo

But it would be wrong to suggest that people shouldn't place an upper bound on their spending because the average case is lower. The loss of a computer might not be financially disastrous. The loss of another gadget might not be, either. Bu

I think you're missing that enforcement by government inspection tends to go against the "unrestricted free market" ideal, that customers will vote with their feet and not patronize unsafe businesses. (In reality customers are never that we
