Re: Install Eadon
That's GNU/Eadon to you!
Erm, no.
"Bad: that people need to rely on Google to tell your family you are dead"
Rely on it? I doubt it - the real purpose is to share/delete information that family members wouldn't be able to otherwise access because they would lack the password. From article: "The minimum timeout is three months..." - I don't know about you, but if my family hadn't heard from me in three months I think they'd realize something was up, and certainly before receiving an email with subject "User 10393232053 kicked the bucket".
"Worse..."
Wrong again - the service will attempt to contact you one month before the account timeout (via phone/email) to verify that you are still alive (for lack of better phrasing). If you sign up for the service and ignore the emails it's your own damn fault.
Cheque?
Check. Er, I mean, got it.
Re: Looking good.
Cyanogenmod is excellent (running on Galaxy S2 Skyrocket for me)
Re: Or, you could, y'know, design you [sic] pages right?
Many sites are already designed like that. Ever hear of this thing called Ajax?
The point is, not every site should be designed with asynchronously loaded content. Do you want your favorite news site to appear blank for the first few seconds while the "ever changing" content is loaded from the server?
The purpose of Railgun is to provide a layer of optimization and caching on top of sites that wouldn't benefit from being "Ajaxified". The so-called "intrusive caching system" that you allude to is really nothing more than an automated static version of Ajax. The difference is, instead of stitching together the static and dynamic content in the browser, it is done on the CloudFlare servers.
(By the way, does anyone really use XSLT?)
Re: @Ragarath
This is very much complicated by the fact that the PS4 will use a SOC (system on a chip) - one die, containing both the CPU and GPU. So, no user-upgradable GPU.
Re: PAM?
How exactly will lubricating the device make it more secure?
This is no more notable than any other documented cold boot attack.

Didn't you see my public service troll advisory?

*Troll detected*
Re: @The BigYin
What the hell is your problem? batfastad wasn't bitching or demanding anything. He simply mentioned a feature that he would like to see implemented in GIMP. Now go take some Prozac.
Hold on a second...
If it can also be shown that an increase in IE market share leads to an increase in web developers targeting IE, then I might be able to get behind that last graph.
Re: Vibrating pen? Interesting.
Upvotes for everyone!

They do have an account. Notice tag=regtopten-20 in the URL when you click the button (after you are redirected.)
Re: @Elmer Phud
Let's try that one again, shall we?
Re: Libre Office does it for me...
I just switched to Libre Office and I'm very happy with it so far. I actually like LO Calc better than Excel. In Calc, I can create a chart in one step; axis titles, chart title, data set, etc. - all entered on one screen.
Re: @Eadon
Eadon, please stop abusing that icon. You rarely have anything "technical" to say. It's bordering on RICHTO's abuse of the "Eat this" icon.
Weird Al's Bob Dylan spoof is good enough (and accurate enough) for me.
Re: obsolete versions of IE
I suppose a better word would be 'deprecated'.
Re: lets just modify a typical Fandroid commentard on an iPad article
I was generalizing the iPhone experience. Older models have been all but abandoned by Apple, by design.
Re: lets just modify a typical Fandroid commentard on an iPad article
1. This "upgrade" is not forced on consumers since newer releases of Android will still run on older phones. Not so with iPhones.
2. $99 < ($199 || $299 || $399)
2.5. If the $99 rumor is not true, then it'll still be a helluva lot cheaper to upgrade storage (via SD card)
0/10 must troll harder
Re: Chad H.
And your point is?
Re: C# is a pleasure to use
Another +1 for C#. Awesome language.
Re: Sean Timarco Baggaley
You obviously didn't read the very first comment, did you?
Derp
There's a pretty significant difference between the three that you (conveniently) overlooked. While security researchers are supposedly working to improve the product they analyze, bank robbers and burglars have a malicious motive. Doesn't take an AC to understand that.
I'm saying that researchers might make more of a difference in the long term by helping repair broken security, as opposed to the more easy (and rewarding in the short term) task of poking holes in the work of others. If you are a researcher solely dedicated to discovering vulnerabilities, then good, your work is much appreciated.
But I do think we need more people interested in proactive security.
Maybe these researchers should spend more time improving Android's malware detection, as opposed to just proving what we could have guessed.
Re: I didn't even come close to suggesting "America"
Oh really? It was only the second word in your original post: "Idiot Western teenagers..."
Unless you meant Canadian teenagers?
Re: It's a joke
Let's not attack strawmen, RICHTO, m-kay? If you read what I wrote (instead of drunk-skimming,) you'll see that the only observation I made about global warming was this: How the fuck could you possibly start a conversation about it in a thread regarding Death Stars?
Last I checked, the IRS != the American people. Unless you honestly believe that ~315 million are in support of Scientology, then maybe you (along with most rational thinkers) can arrive at the correct conclusion that the IRS screwed up. Maybe they're fearful of what would happen if they revoked their tax exempt status.
Now, please take your contrived arguments elsewhere.
@Obviously
What scares me is that you have a silver comment badge. Quantity over quality no doubt played an important role there.
Re: It's a joke
What do you mean by "They consider Scientology a religion"? Surely, you don't believe that the majority of Americans recognize it as an actual religion. The opposite is true.
By the way, nice job worming global warming into this conversation. You truly are a talented troll.
Re: Why do people like JavaScript ?
I say the same thing about Ocaml, F#, and Go.
FFS. Now the little girl's laptop will probably be crawling with DRM software.
Re: Ten year olds...
Downvotes because it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone in this digital age that young ones are using technology earlier and earlier.
Posted in John McAfee 'captured'
In one of his posts (http://www.whoismcafee.com/if-i-am-captured/) John mentions that the site is administered by another person (Chad). Maybe that has something to do with it - just a guess.
Too bad Apple currently maintains Objective C. So as you prophesize, when Apple someday fails, you'll be out of a language, slick!
That's... pretty cool.
Glad to see a company keeping up with the times instead of fading into obscurity (*cough* Yahoo *cough*).
If the service isn't expensive as hell, then even better! Though even if it is expensive, at least it will introduce the average person to 3D printing.
Re: @petur
The same thing could be said about you (correctly, this time).
Re: Take a number...
It's not that I disagree with what AC said, but it's been said *so* many times already.
Take a number...
and then please check previous PS3/Xbox article comment forums for the answers (and corresponding rebuttals & follow-up arguments) to your questions.
Re: I want a
Seeing as though you've found yourself in the "Games" section of Reghardware, I say keep dreaming.
"Whoops, swing and a miss."
Fine, you can be pedantic about it. But if no one can agree on the number to begin with, then the original post that I initially responded to is incorrect as well.
Every four years, but nice try.
Re: "mine hasn't"
I'm pretty rough on vacuums; swinging them around by the handle to move them, bumping the wheels into walls, but again, the Dyson (a DC14, to be specific) has lived up to the abuse. As Lusty points out, it's also pretty easy to replace individual parts.
