well sort of
#123# or some sort ussd code. might change from network to network.

however, one thing is certain, it's only going to show that you're a cheapskate(because of using prepaid)!

also, even if you're not a cheapskate, you're not really going to have more than ten bucks loaded into your prepaid anyways likely.

so.. the whole concept of using your prepaid balance to decide which adverts to show for you seems rather dull.

guess what cpu the handheld pos terminals have..

fm (and am even less) can't be better than a good stream.

that's not what he cares about. he cares about the pono and selling lossless-better-than-cd music through it.

and he's hating that all the internet is calling him a jackass for that, for saying that his magic digital audio player is just another player which it is.

of course they're going to include traditional windows software in the store.

and it's not really a rumor, since it's been their operating motivation since launching windows 8. of course they went it with ass backwards route, the software they _wanted_ to go into the store _couldn't_ go into the store in the first place(traditional sw).

also why do you think adobe went with a subscription model about the time of windows 8 release? it was a contingency plan and a middle finger to microsoft which was hoping to start getting 30% cuts of 1000$ softwares.

anyways, there will be an iso to download. it's the product key you care about getting anyways.

if it wasn't a valuable resource then the hotels wouldn't have bothered suing them for negative reviews.

anyways, which hotels were those? maybe avoid them. frigg, some hotels have tried to pull off the trick of trying to charge persons for posting negative reviews as well. it's all very sketchy.

If I said that Yotel new york is overpriced here - should Yotel be able to sue slashdot? of course not - that's friggin silly.

microsoft security essentials has a more comprehensive detection library than trend micro and doesn't fuck up your hard disk access times.

maybe pawn storm is trend micro. wouldn't surprise me.

so what if she is Putin funded?
last time I checked, RT still operates in USA.

and there's nothing actually conservative about using the military to poke into every cesspot on earth.

and he's full of shit.

it's just about pono, and you can buy his music in mp3.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/ar...

spotify on high quality is way, wayyyyy better than cassette or radio or 8 tracks. but he wants to sell pono-tech. I'm guessing he wants to sell a lossless streaming service.

if it's really just about the quality how come streaming service mp3 is unacceptable and "worse than 8 track" BUT itunes mp3 is acceptable?

and pretty well known. saw him live two years ago in Helsinki. a pretty good concert.

HOWEVER when it comes to his hifi music digital audio player, he's full of shit.

this is just so he can sell/promote PONO. I'm not sure if he believes that the hifisupadupasound of PONO is really better or if he's just a knowing shill. it's just a player that plays lossless files - nothing special there!

besides, streaming services have BETTER sound quality than RADIO and his music is played on radio all the time. streaming is also much better than cassettes.

he says it's not about the money, but sound quality blabla.. IT IS ABOUT THE FUCKING MONEY.

also, is he going to do home calls and check that his music is only played on hifi stereos and never on multimedia speakers?

because fundamentally it is just a 2.5km radio data link and not a magical anonymizer.

(it doesn't connect directly to the wifi ap either, due to the wifi ap being able to not receive low freqs)

it just sounds like a concept they rolled up while high, marketing got involved and it all went downhill from there and they cancelled it to save face.

maybe they were just bullshitting anyways.

like, come on, if it dependent on a device that sat near the wifi AP, it was hardly anything magical-special-super-anonymizer device in the first place. all it then was, would have been an unlicensed sort-of-long distance radio data link - which would have a whole other market mind you.

if they were implying that you could connect to the wifi ap from 2.5 klicks without anything special device near the wifi ap, then they were bullshitting.

so probably they were bullshitting because their product if it functioned as would have been likely, would have had a totally different market than what they were pushing it to.

just that it worked on unlicensed spectrum wouldn't have made it illegal to produce for markets where such use would have been legal.

this will only encourage similar crap.

someone made a tidy profit on it.

I think it's just geoblocked outside usa.

for me as well. next time just look it up on youtube.

but what will you use then to play happy wheels?

look, all this talk about "bad corporations do intentional obsoleting of software to sell new software" and then *bam* start asking for them to make tens of thousands of games unplayable.

nice, real nice.

yes kill date implies that you wouldn't be able to _use_ it at all after the date, which would actually work as an incentive to not update to any such version that has a kill date. kill date would also mean no further security fixes.

putting a date on it would be stupid for everyone involved. adobe can just(and pretty much has) quit developing new features for it, thus driving people to other things.

tyranny?

it's tyranny? some of the countries have been performing cuts as well. what's so tyrannical of a country refusing to give greeks earlier pensions than they give to their own citizens...

tsipras is a clown and his best chum gametheorist was an even bigger clown of a finance minister. he literally did no finance ministering AT ALL during his tenure, their game tactic was simply that varoufakis thought he was so super smart he could keep his own country as hostage in the negotiations.

thing is there is _no_ possible way for the greeks to maintain their expenses.
