This. Anyway, we are not the target of these messages to legitimize the status quo of the ads business (or, even worse, that want to expand the influence on regulatory matters). We are too old, well past the point where ads may have had a s

Can't really comment as I'm still on 8.0. For me it's enough that it's still there and can be scheduled as a PowerShell command (for files history I use Crashplan anyway) but I agree that if this is the case, it's p

Unfortunately it didn't really took off, but it's a shame because it's a good, polished and complete implementation that allows for some advanced scale-out topologies (it can also be used as a foundation for data dependent routing and map/r

Last time that I decided to shell out more money investing in the "aluminium factory" I bought an mp3 player and found out rather quickly that they break as any other cheap player. I also found out that the sustainable model of the "alumini

It's anecdotal at best. Not only it can't be generalized, at different ages the outcome may be a lot different. Kids need a certain level of maturity to understand properly conflicts and learn conflict resolution otherwise they simply feel

Indeed. Even if there was such a contract, who fixed the price for it? In other words: who said that the right price/service in exchange for an incredibly precise audit trail of my behavior is targeted ads or some pretty lame free articles

Can't find the original HN submission, but someone posted this interesting article about it a few days ago: http://rainypixels.com/words/the-story-of-the-new-microsoft-...

Well, their lawyers apparently thought to know well the laws about warranty around Europe and they got fined...

Then again you could also make it complex with interleaved colors up to more than a hundred :)

You should simply be able to do it by: logging in into your hotmail account and going to http://outlook.com while still logged in. After that, go into mail "More mail settings" (click on the upper-right gear) and choose "Create a Outlook

I agree, especially sad. The most productive and efficient mean for discussions is now pretty much just a binary deposit for porn and copyrighted material. I still can't believe everyone got away with non-threaded forums vs. newsgroups when

I was about to prepare the query without ties and yes it is a lot harder than necessary and, more important IMO, much less readable/intuitive for people than have to maintain the code and that is exactly why different SQL dialects introduce

I'm not sure what you mean by fit poorly in the relational model. ORDER BY, LIMIT/OFFSET have to do with presentation of data. So, although it's highly desired that a language based on the relational model supports them, they have nothing t

I'm not sure what you mean here. Consoles and smartphones are general computing devices and are clearly marketed as such. Consoles are not only used for games/audio/video and smartphones are definitely not used for phone calls.

I guess it all depends on how picky one want to be. Before the generation of consoles that includes the xbox, I can't remember of any real attempt to lock them down by preventing unsigned code the be run (and I don't consider not releasing

Probably nothing. I strongly believe that Microsoft was already trying to become a gatekeeper a decade ago setting the stage with Hailstorm. Only the fear for anti-trust authorities blocked them IMO. Now Apple cleared the way and Microsoft

"Did you read the judgement yet? There's no point discussing anything without knowing the facts of the case." I know it's nice and quick to dismiss arguments by presuming someone didn't read something, but yes, I read the article and I thin

Ok, bad wording, what I meant is that this is a typical photo taken during an overcast day where you don't expose for the sky: low contrast (you can see it from the buildings and flat shadows in the original photo) and blown up sky. So may

Following the judgement, this painting is also infringing on the idea, composition and so on: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/03/03/article-0-0D74781D... Or maybe not, because there's also a car in this one, so maybe it doesn't hit th

Well, we may discuss about the "closely as possible without infringing". To me composition seems a lot different (with the second one being much worse, but I must say I'm also not impressed by the original one). Red bus in black&white w
