Because a demand isn't a favor? A demand to someone implies a loss on their part, of time or effort or value. It doesn't matter how easy it is for them to do. If I say that ice cream vendors must give out their ice cream for free,

I just looked and Daniel Barenboim's Beethoven Piano Sonatas is on Google Play Music and Spotify, so yeah unless something is pretty new/indie/remixy one of the two is going to likely have it

I'd say the vast majority of PC gamers right now have maybe one or two special edition physical boxes and everything else is digital in their Steam/Origin/Epic accounts. As it is right now at any point those accounts can be c

Exposure is key, I know I don't buy games that aren't on Steam. So many games I wouldn't know about at all if they weren't on steams recommendations page.

Telus is a phone/ISP company, they're pretty much uninvolved other then the ability to send emails from a @gmail.com address for their customers needs. Spammers are just utilizing that for malicious purposes with spoofed headers.

Telus is a phone company. They presumably deal with text/email stuff through their phone services, and they presumably have some sort of interactions with Gmail as a result. This isn't Telus doing it, it's just spammers utili

You mean some sort of great leap forward produces negative results for your citizens until it's completed? I swear I heard a story similar to that in reality.

My favorite example for this is Grey Goose Vodka vs Kirkland Vodka. They are the same place, made from the same water source, just one has a fancier label and sells for 3x as much because of it.

I think all the console makers learned a lesson from the Red Ring Of Death. No one wants to be having a massive portion of their systems become useless hunks of scrap because of poor thermal design not dissipating enough heat and causing th

Well from what I've seen in my googling, it seems to be a concept relating to the Unwritten Doctrine of Plato. He had esoteric teachings reserved for his close following vs his exoteric writings for the public. Esoteric came to mean sh

I've been using my $300 Acer c720p chromebook for almost 5 years. Keys are falling off, it has quite a few cracks and smudges, and the battery is less then half of what it used to be, but it still boots up in about 8 seconds, and there

The longer time goes on, the more you realize that what companies can get to the public in a year for $1000, takes 10 years and a multi-billion dollar contract for any government (other then priority bureaus like NSA) to obtain. Like good l

Nothing says that the civil disobeyer needs to go out of their way to turn themselves in to the authorities if the act of civil disobedience isn't known by the police. If I plan an act of civil disobedience like say sitting in the road

Or, as they say in the article, that's 4 months from now, a somewhat reasonable time (considering it could have been 28 years and 4 months) to finish everything up, get her affairs on the outside settled, and all the bureaucracy done.

This article really should have gone through spell check or been proofread, re: "have to say? to summarize it", "oine", "compatibel", possibly more. Still, interesting that Zen is performing well.

If there's anything Sci-Fi has taught me, it's that sentient machines will either be our salvation or our doom, and in both of those cases, treating them like they have no rights isn't good for our health in the long run, so

Imperial is mostly for measurements related to the body, (temperature, height/length, weight), presumably due to the amount of people who grew up with it and it's ubiquity in the American media. Pretty much every other aspect of t

I highly recommend Better History. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/better-history/obc... It has quite a few features, and it groups visits by site untill you expand it. I easily deleted it all in on

To be fair, isn't the games industry one of those industries where lower salary is one of the tradeoffs for a "fun" job? I mean so many young coders want to go into the games industry to make games and do what their passionat
