Re: Well doh!

"Totally agree. Even our licensing guys usally have to go to MS to work it out...and even then, you get different answers depending on who you speak to there."

Absolutely! There aren't many things I lothe more then dealing with MS licensing. Honestly, if I had the choice to never deal with them again, or never deal with the taxman again.... I think I would hug the taxman.

Re: Stock Market

"Thirdly, maybe your business isn't viable enough to go public?"

Yes, but by the time it is, there won't be any point in it.

Honestly, I never understood how VC make anything. They only want to toss money in when you don't need it.

Re: Neon power

Except that spanish station is a concentrated solar-thermal plant. The article explicitly stated this was a photo-voltaic plant.

Re: "Briton's FBI?"

well, okay. I guess I'll begrudgingly grant them it... BUT I'M STILL WATCHING YOU!

Re: Windows 8.1 start button appears

I'm building a machine just to be a toy, and even *I* won't put up with this shit.

My toy machine will be running 7 until the start MENU is back.

If you could have been bothered to read the fine article (both this and the last on the topic) he made it quite clear that his excrement was firm, perhaps even a bit more so then he would have desired.

Re: PS4 all the way for me. There are still too many problems with the Xbone

MS announced, at this announcement that they will not be region locking games either.

Re: Why do all my coworkers lick their Ardroid phones...

Have an android. Never notice a problem with this... maybe you should stop hiring from the short bus?

you think that's bad.. you should see what we slipped into the first compilers... still slipping that backd#@)(*% *NO CARRIER*

you weren't aware? carrying cash is a crime!

The way I am understanding the preowned mechanic is both new consoles actually have a system in place but only Microsoft have actively announced it and the internet have jumped all over it, but it is actually up to the publishers how and if they use it.

You understand incorrectly. Sony has been intentionally vague on this, probably to egg MS into doing this online every day, only resell if you pay us crap. Sony turned around and announced (after the internet has started to fume) that you will be able to whatever you want with your game. Play it, resell it, poop on it, whatever makes you happy. Any copy-protection will be solely for stopping copying. They aren't even doing region-locking.

MS on the other-hand have announced that if your XBone has been offline for more then 24 hrs, you aren't playing any games.

Microsoft have obviously handled the fallout from this all pretty badly, but I have faith (that sounds a bit religious perhaps) that things will work out and I will pick up an Xbox One in about a years time after the first production batch has been used up and any manufacturing problems get corrected.

Wow, that's brand loyalty. Almost the level of a Mac user. They have annouced "we plan to stick it to you," You know (and admit) they put out faulty hardware, but you are STILL confident you are going to buy it? Wow.

Personally, I'm not convenced I want either, but if you made me choose one, at this point it would have to be the PS4.

<-- Trollface, because that's what Sony is doing to MS.

Re: The big reveal

Really. Ok, do something for me. Full screen your web browser and keep doing something else on the other monitor.

What? it turns the other monitor into a useless grey rectangle for no apparent reason?

I do not consider that to be proper support. I do consider it to be a horrid user experience, but apparently you don't have a proper understanding of what support is...

Re: Hang on here...

Im fairly sure all Church & Dwight Company shareholders are permitted to wear Trojan(tm) condoms throughout their meetings, provided they keep adorn bits properly in their trousers.

Why exactly they would want to is a bit lost on my, but I don't judge.

Re: I'm still asking:

They pay 3.05USD per share-quarter.

Re: Shot on sight... blah, blah, blah

Why would they ever bother to do that? THINK about it. His ravings and antics have made WL into a side-show. JA's paranoia has done more damage to WL then anything the CIA/NSA/etc. could ever hope to!

Joke alert, which is what this whole farce is.

Re: There is potentially a difference.

because I'm pretty sure requiring all solders to be double amputees would me some objections!

Re: Anything with 80+% market share

such FRAND terms including that a royalty shall not exceed the price of the product ( so £0 for free / open source software ).

So you get to give away a product, based on my research, ensuring I can get nothing from it. There is nothing fair, reasonable or non-discriminatory about that. That ensures the failure of every commercial entity doing any significant amount of research.

When you are in charge, I, for one, will keep all of my devices as trade secrets.

Re: I'm not a Yahoo fan

Kinda like seeing the same post complaining at the headline on every yahoo story?

Re: Fair enough

as it breaks the intention of the law.

So, now I not only have to follow the letter of the law, but I have to GUESS at the intent of some illiterate minister who couldn't be arsed to write something sensible? What's next, Ignorance of the unwritten intent being no excuse?!?
