To the contrary, I love bloatware because it means other people are subsidizing my PC that I'm going to be installing a fresh OS upon receiving anyway.

I'm just wondering where the let sidebar is. When you have a fluid-width site, you generally want to have a sidebar on the left for readability.

That's not a very good argument because it's directly affecting someone else. You wouldn't let someone drive drunk, because they might possibly injure or kill other people. Pregnant drinking is exactly the same. Or worse, because it's not like a baby can get Fetal Alcohol Syndrome insurance.

I think they only installed it on their consumer line anyway, not any corporate models.

Still waiting for the reverse three strikes, where an IP holder gets punished if they send 3 false notices.

Can't tell if this is sarcastic or not.
It's generally faster to hit a modifier key than it is to move your fingers all the way over to the pgup/down/etc area. I'd much rather hit Ctrl-A/E for Home/End, Ctrl-U/D for pgup/down, etc. I'd take shell-like or vim-like keys any day.

From that link:

The company selling this cable does make objective assertions about this cable which are blatantly false. Just because most of it is subjective doesn't mean there aren't some objective lies mixed in.

I could have sworn there was a story about this a couple days ago. Get your shit together Dice.

It's fine for parents to not get their child vaccinated. However, that child should not be allowed in public schools or other functions.

The real loser in all of this is the child, however. It's not fair for the child that their redneck anti-vax parents should be able to put their health at risk. I find it hilarious that conservatives tend to be "pro-life" yet support someone's right to not get vaccinated, as if a fetus is somehow more important than an actual child.

Great idea!

Comcast hates their customers. News at 11.

Because "Sign in without a Microsoft account" sounds nothing like "Create a local account". I mean, you're not even signing into anything, you're creating an account.

Every time I see a cop doing something useless like sitting at the side of the road I want to see their budget cut. They do that crap instead of helping with real crimes. And don't say "but the traffic cops are the same cops that would be investigating crimes" because it's all under one budget.

Last time I installed it (about a month ago), there was a button at the bottom to use a local account without having to jump through any hoops. Of course, being MS, it wasn't labeled "Use a local account" or even anything seemingly related.

I wouldn't be so sure. Any application with forced SSL is going to look exactly the same from a data standpoint. It's going to start with the SSL handshake, and then everything after that will be indistinguishable. Yes, they could look at how much data there is or data over time, but DPI doesn't get you very far when all SSL traffic looks exactly the same. And even then, you could just pick some port that would normally have a solid amount of data and persistent connections, like IMAPS.
