Comment not sure if trolling or stupid (Score 1) 111

just because you have another advertising ID as part of your operating system doesn't mean that if you disable that then the verizon inserted id would be removed. the verizon id doesn't care what settings you turn on or off on your phone, it gets inserted to the data stream after the phone.

unless your phone has a setting for "force https on everything", then you're fucked. and you know what's funny? on windows phone you cannot do that, you don't have even the option of a 3rd party browser that would do that(afaik).

it works for the situation well enough, if used correctly.

but as even the article states(if you pick out the bit that matters), is that it doesn't really matter, as there were a set of control balls that behaved differently from the 1 ball.. so the 1 ball was either faulty or messed with.

they should have run with a leaky ball explanation, rather than temperature, since 1 ball was different from the others.

we had ISDN installed in 1995... in northern europe.
fucking expensive though.. by 2000 I moved to student housing project with 10mbit/s connection that had cheaper rent than what I had been paying for the isdn bills, so it really depends where in europe you live, even local 30 kliks could make a big difference back then.

it's golden age for media cocksuck bullshit.
the new materials will not be available for nearly half a year.

last year mbi won awards at CES with a non functional printer(the demo models were printed with rep2's. that's right. nobody saw the fucking device working and now this year they're given more awards for basically the same thing that everyone knows has buggy extruder design, furthermore to use the "new" filaments in the 5th gen you have to buy a new extruder (190$+) , not that anyone would know since that's getting released later.

MBI - the worst source of information about makerbot products. how about asking them if they finally have working firmware+software for their 3d scanner...

bottom line, mbi's stuff is not worth it at the moment. rep2x is okay, but overpriced. 5th gen sucks.

you know what's fucking bizarre? the part of nokia that microsoft bought had several android based models on the market(not in usa/euro are athough, in the markets they're available they're outselling windows phones..). but microsoft killed further developments of that line of devices.

so what the fuck are they meddling with cyanogen? I wouldn't mind having cyanogen for my nokia X though.

Comment there has to be something more to it. (Score 1) 468

the real question is why is ubi selling keys without boxes and knows the keys? they have their own service for buying the game online if you want to, in which case you don't get a cdkey to transfer that you could sell online to someone.

if you acquired the box, the right to play comes with that box and the key comes inside the box. And I really don't think that third parties buying boxed games and selling the keys online would be asking ubisoft to remove the keys from play if they got a chargeback(they're not ubisoft authorized sellers anyways and ubi would be happy to fuck them over).

there has to be something more to it.

I suspect that they're selling bulk keys to cybercafes etc at discount pricing or something similar and deactivating these keys if they find that they're not used in the region sold to..

another explanation - that they already used iirc months ago with another similar incident, was that large amonts of keys got taken from a hacked ubi server.
