RE: Cybercafe - To be fair, they do this because they don't have the infrastructure or the technology to track you and all your data. RE: Bank accounts - Yeah, I've heard this happen from my friends. But they say that it's quite much easier

Fyi, you need the CF3D Pro driver.

Pardon my ignorance, but I am unable to think of a use-case where it's beneficial for an app developer to not allow his app be available globally.

Wait a minute. I see all sorts of problems with this. So what do they do if your card expires this month?

Your comment just reminded me why most of the software is going SaaS. One could conjecture that the developers see IAP exactly as a SaaS.

The entire gaming paradigm with pay $X to get better equipment so that you can use that to get even better equipment sounds like a giant Skinner's box.

I hear you. It irks me to no end when IAP is used as a quarter gobbling mechanism of the twenty first century.

No. I have the key, but not the iso. As I understand from MS site there will be no way for me to convert it to a legit full copy.

You've got a point. I've been scouring the internet for an MSDN iso to go with the key. On certain ocean-theme based web sites I see people activating Windows 8 by the automated phone option. Assuming this is legitimate, is it a bug from Mi

This exact point is something no one here on HN has realized. I'm living outside the US and this patent war means nothing to me (as of now). And when I was there, I was surprised to talk to my relatives and find out that before the iPhone a

I might be a bit cynical for my age, but I think government and laws and corporations and patents and copyrights that were supposed to protect the little guy from The Man have ended up turning the little guy into The New Man who is now the

I think you have a fair point. I might have become a bit too overzealous in my argument via reduction. But yes, anger is definitely "just chemicals" in the sense that some people get angry quicker than others. Again, although I'm forced to

Extending your discussion, love is nothing but chemicals firing in our brain. Maybe human beings are evolved to trigger release chemicals in the brain when certain conditions are met, which could possibly be deterministic? I agree that each

You are correct. I am not in disagreement with you. We definitely need a way to authenticate people. But like I said, authenticating systems need to be fool-proof enough to not allow false positives yet flexible enough to allow people to sc

It happened to Microsoft. Then more recently to Apple. Now we're even questioning Google's policies. Who ever wrote that line is a genius.

This is a wonderful suggestion. OP listen to this. When you put such an option to people, they will not tell you how much it's worth to them. They will only tell you how much they are willing to pay... if at all they had to. Expect the nu

You know, sometimes the simplest problems are the hardest to solve. You'd think right? "What's the best way to know if this guy is who he is claiming to be?" 1. Shared secret/Password - He tells me something during registration and then I u

I believe, in an ideal world you'd have your private key stored safely on a private webserver, or maybe your mobile phone.

I like this idea. But as a novice, how would you, say sign in to gmail? Would you download a file, sign it, and upload it again? That seems quite time consuming as compared to current day password.

Sure 2.5 billion dollars is a large sum of money. Imagine how you'd break this news to the public. You've practically crushed people's hopes and dreams. "Umm, guys, we just accidentally bricked the rover because of a firmware upgrade gone r

I'm not so sure. I'm more inclined to believe that agriculture was probably the reason vegetarianism. I'd rather eat vegetables predictably than wonder if I'm going to be able to hunt my next meal.

You make very good points. There could obviously be people who had rose-tinted view of the military only to have it shattered in the first week. That could have easily made them bitter about the whole teaching process. Secondly, I don't thi

I'm generally the bastion for cutting edge tech whenever I buy any gadget. I don't mind spending ridiculous amounts of money for that _one_ specific feature or niche that I want, because I'm not going to spend money again for a very very lo

Being a vegetarian, now I exactly understand how Muslims might be feeling. Dammit, there are countries in the East where people are primarily vegetarian and no one's an extremist.

Your head would be the Duke of Edinburgh if it weren't for the French (sorry, Canada). Well you'd atleast have Nationalized Healthcare.

Ah yes. You've got a good point. I find it confusing on how to allow downvotes then. Is age of the account a fair measure? Then what about people who've been here without registering, or people who actually have good discretion. Maybe enfor

Honest question, why? Don't most of the phones run on ARM? Or did you imply something on the lines of PC (or the POWER architecture)? /clueless

Say what you may about operating systems then and now, but with experience I can tell you this, these devices were phones first and computers second. They are computers first and phones second now. [Warning - Personal anecdote. #include&#60
