Also there's a good reason why the Playstation store shows PS3 content when you have a PS4, as otherwise the shelves would look rather bare.

So, cloud hosting is expensive versus standard hosting, you pay a premium for scalability. Simple as that.

in this case, akin to 'hefty' or 'beefy'

Surely there must be a law against helping people make false copyright claims against other people's work?

I don't think you get to make a generalisation about a group of approaches to software development when you have never used them ;)

Not having the need for them is perfectly valid though, if you're in that kind of situation then you're actually very lucky. Things like Waterfall can work and work well, the whole point though is that one size doesn't fit all. So whether you're Scrum or Waterfall it doesn't actually matter. Just like development tools, you use the best thing for the job.

I'd also say I have NEVER seen a business actually commit into any of the methodologies. That's why the phrase SCRUMBUT was coined.
Nearly every non-technical business person I've met has the 'get back to me when it's done' attitude.

If you think it's waterfall with shorter iterations you may be missing the point. I'd also say 'agile' covers many different methodologies so your generalisation isn't really applicable.

Assuming this is copyright infringement, your logic is wrong. Just because the consumer of the product agrees to receiving modified content, it does not allow someone to modify a copyrighted work.

That's a bit like saying free speech should protect you from libel and inciting racial hatred.
Free speech does not give you the right to make other people's lives hell.

but if he said offensive things to the person's face, what would the punishment be?

I don't think that's an equal comparison, that'd be more equivalent to sending a user a message.

I didn't RTFA, but it appears that the memorial page had an open comment section and they expected it to not get trolled. It doesn't matter who is in the right here, but that's an unreasonable expectation.

And people on the internet need to learn a bit more about real life. The internet does not actually define the rules of law.

Car analogy: pedestrians have the right of way. That doesn't mean you should try to walk across a 6 lane road with heavy traffic.

In the UK any road of that size is likely to be a motorway where pedestrians do not have the right of way :)

At the end of the day, your behaviour online still falls under the laws of the Real World. You can be held accountable for copyright infringement, libel and malicious communications amongst many things.
In this case the length of the sentence is likely to have been weighed up with the seriousness of the intent involved, along with how public it all was. Don't forget he'll likely serve less than 12 weeks of the sentence (assuming good behaviour).

...saying one thing to the public and then proceeding to do something different? I'm shocked, SHOCKED I say!

Most of the parties are happy to go back on their own manifesto policies so this really shouldn't surprise anyone.

Speaking as someone whose significant other has a psychotic ex-boyfriend, what Randi is suggesting would mean people in her position would either have to take the chance that their knife wielding ex's stalk their online presence and maybe eventually turn up at their door, or that they can't use the internet.

The fundamental problem with the idea that you have to be a real person online is that it brings all the 'real world' problems with it, and all these bright sparks never seem to address these issues.

What will be more interesting is if MS wake up and realise that Apple is a greater threat to their core business than Google. As a technology co. MS is waning and has been for a few years now, Google doesn't have a coherent desktop/mobile strategy (in fact they really don't care about the desktop). Apple on the other hand does (on both counts). If it wasn't for the "we must p0wn this business space" attitude, I could easily see that MS might get behind Android rather than throw a huge amount of money around with WP7. In that case they might have a good chance of competing against Apple and profiting from the mobile space over the next 10+ years. As it stands they're trying to climb a mighty steep hill.

Although the title is correct the body of the story is not, as it's not the driest region on earth, areas of the Antartic have that distinction.

...where it used to be one. And now you have to navigate a menu to do it.
