Agreed.

Thinking "What would be the most retarded way to do this?" and finding the answer is exactly what they did, is very intuitive.

Newsflash; not every Windows 8 user is a system administrator.

It's even worse that the cops didn't escalate the issue after two days had passed and they were running out of time.

Problem #2: Liability

In my country, the owner of a router can be held liable for the data transmitted throught it. If some anonymous user uses an open WiFi connection to download child pornography or hacks the pentagon servers, the owner of the router can be held atleast partly responsible. I don't know about regulations in the USA, but I'd damn well make certain the law protects the owner of a router before advising them to open up the connection.

What's your point?

There is a lot of stuff not everyone knows.
Should we only study things everyone already knows?
Should news only be reported if everyone already knows?

According to this page: http://www.economicmodeling.co...
At the very best, females make up 30.4% of IT graduates.
The workforce is 35% female, so on average females are more likely to be hired for IT positions than men.

How about unemployment rates for female and black tech workers?
Given the outrage I would expect atleast 35% of the unemployed tech workers being female and atleast 1% being black,.

Baby YouTube; "Our users can put whatever video they want on our site, we're not responsible if it's copyrighted music".
Pubescent YouTube; "We'll remove copyrighted music videos, but only if the copyright owner complains".
Mature YouTube; "We'll remove any video containing your music if you don't let us sell your music".

Let's hope it dies before it gets any worse.

No reason to feel sorry.
If you've ever put a music CD in your computer, you're probably running Sony software too.

No /. commenter will ever have the ability to use a tandem, regardless of whether they want to.
For multiple reasons.

As long as I don't get an ad for a funeral parlor, I'm okay with either.

JavaScript and VBScript.
I agree there is atleast one choice too many.

Isn't Phonegap/Cordova effectively for making downloadable, offline web applications?

Neither of those claim it to be a drop-in replacement for all the properties of steel.
Of in fact for ANY property of steel.

Standard consumer goods practice; always make sure you have atleast one ridiculously expensive version.
Doesn't need to be any better, just far more expensive.
There's always people who associate "expensive" with "good" and some can even afford it.
Same goes for TV's, Hifi equipment, musical instruments, tools, sports equipment, cars, etc...
