What's a "Richard" in Cockney slang?

It's a common nickname for "Richard", and predates the slang by quite a bit. In fact, the whole reason "dick" is used to refer to a boy-part is because it is such a common and well-established boy-name. The names "Willie" and "Fanny" came to be used for "penis" and "vagina" for the exact same reason (although the latter is used slightly differently in the US).

I'm opted out by default. The setting is unchecked without me having to change anything. Presumably it's the same for Peter H.S. too.

*slow clap*

Short answer: no.

Long answer: they've already made most (but not all) of their own Steam games compatible. They have no such control over the rest of the games on Steam but they aim to encourage as many other devs as possible to do the same.

Proof-reading fail. Sorry :(

The missing word was "recommended". They have always recommended alternatives that do not involve trusting them. Here's an example from that same FAQ page:

Neither did Mega. They explain these very risks and others right in the FAQ and since they launched have using alternatives that do not involve trusting them. Providing a interface is a significant convenience, but you can't trust anything truly secret to a script someone else can remotely replace on a whim.

I agree that, since I'm going to get a dedicated graphics card anyway, I'd much prefer some more focus CPU. That being said, an APU could open new possibilities for using OpenCL and the like without bogging down the main CPU cores or competing against graphics for the GPU's precious shader units. Now I'm intrigued - I wonder if this arrangement would actually work...

The link in TFA says that Przemyslaw Wegrzyn is from Poland. No idea about Dhiru Kholia but that's not a typical name for the US.

Hey, at least they're making progress. 13 years ago Windows was up to 2000, now they've gone all the way down to 8. That's 1992 versions! At this rate they'll hit zero in just 19 days.

I can't believe that after all those years I didn't see that until you pointed it out. Wow. I always thought the 360 was some kind of reference to the Nintendo Revolution. Maybe it was too. It seems they were quite happy to give a subtle not to their competitors at the time.

I used to block advertisers, now I'm laughing at them.

If Gandhi's quote applies then I don't like where this is going.

Come on, he said so himself ;)

Is that true? That's the exact thing that was conspicuously absent from the article, which is why it seemed so odd.

MS had quite a catchy name there. I do find it odd that the article said nothing about Sky Broadcasting having a trademark on (or even using) "SkyDrive" - it seems that they're claiming ownership over anything with the word "sky" in it, and that MS is conceding. Yikes.
