Before the G+ integration, there was the option to sign in with a normal Google account. Presumably that will still work.

Maybe if it's some casual shooter with no depth. Most competitive games also test strategy, tactics, or knowledge. You could pump someone full of whatever drugs you want and it wouldn't suddenly make them good.

Some of the questions she chose to answer she weaseled her way around anyway. She'd make a great politician.

I'd say about 99% of spam can be eliminated before even looking at the content of the message. The difference is, no legitimate email sender is going to be doing things that would get them filtered, like not having reverse DNS, being on a residential connection, or being on a major spam blacklist. As soon as you start filtering based on the content of the message, you're going to run into far more issues. On top of that, they don't know they've been filtered, whereas a server outright rejecting their message will give them a bounce for the few times a legitimate email server gets on a spam blacklist.

Actually, they serve a very important purpose. Even when a computer is pretty locked up, the lock indicators will usually still respond unless the computer is completely hosed. Also Linux may start flashing all 3 LEDs in case of a kernel panic.

But why would I waste time getting certs when I could actually spend time doing the things the certs can cover? Who would you rather hire, someone who has a piece of paper saying they can do something, or someone who has actually done it?

I don't think it will become much of a problem because the the non-GMO foods will simply use that as a selling point and label themselves as such.

It depends entirely on what keys we're talking about. Yes, I would much rather hit Ctrl-U/D than PgUp/PgDn, Ctrl-A instead of Home, and plenty of others, because anything outside the alphanumeric can easily end up taking more movement to hit than hitting two keys in the alphanumeric area.

But the real issue I see with the keyboard is that the layout is so nonstandard that finding any third party keycaps will be a total PITA if not impossible, and very few keyboards actually come with good quality caps that won't wear down/shine. It looks like this thing is more expensive than an ErgoDox with very little advantage over it.

For that matter, how do I physically even get 2gbps? Does the modem they provide have a 10GbE port? This is actually quite ingenious of Comcast, selling people a 2gbit connection knowing full well nobody will actually be able to use it.

It's a fundamental issue with intersections that have both vehicle and foot traffic. The only time it's 100% safe for pedestrians to go is when there's no traffic across that particular crosswalk. However, that's never actually the case. Best case is you have right-turn traffic going across the traffic, but that's still some traffic, and a driver not paying attention might still hit someone. If you gave pedestrians a "don't walk" if there's any potential traffic across the crosswalk, then they would never get to go.

I'd love interfaces that don't change every 2 weeks. Especially certain web browsers and desktop environments which seem to be plagued with such issues.

So it seems like the best defense for the restaurant owner would be "we didn't actually condone him playing music". Otherwise, I could simply walk into a restaurant or other establishment with a boombox playing copyrighted tunes, and the restaurant would be responsible for the copyright infringement.

My question is would it apply to those annoying infringement notice pages. Basically, if you get a DMCA notice on your IP, you'll be sent to a walled garden until you acknowledge the notice. It seems to fall under "blocking legitimate traffic", even if it's just a temporary block until someone clicks through a couple pages.

Backstory: I'm currently in an apartment building that has one connection for all the residents. When one person gets caught pirating something, it cuts off the connection for everyone until someone acknowledges the notice. And of course, the chances are slim to none that the person doing the pirating is the person who will see and click through the notice, so it's pointless to begin with.

For that matter, is it even any different than the plain old windows key? I haven't tried it with voice, but with the windows key you press it, type whatever, and it puts it in the search/cortana box.

That didn't happen before, either. MS already funded a good amount of equipment purchases for K12 schools in WA (running Windows, of course). Not to mention, people want computers that just work. Every minute spent dealing with tech issues is a minute less spent on learning.
