Most kids don't want the sort of games sold at GOG. It's about 90% really old stuff. I only play it out of nostalgia.

Why would a random hacker group care to help Sony and Microsoft improve their security?
Maybe they're gamers.
4 years after you bought it, it was up to 500 mile range and getting 50 mpg.
Well, you're not going to get that big an improvement, but you can often chip for efficiency and gain a few MPG at the expense of a few HP. Often it's actually a very good trade. Until recently when the mileage targets surged few automakers have truly pursued maximum mileage. Typically, they're too afraid of customer response to truly go all in.
If you must feed the trolls, please at least have the sense to disable your karma bonus.
What? What is it good for, then? It's a shiny lure.
People not physically present in the US would fail the substantial presence test and so would be taxed as a non-resident alien.
Unless they're contractors who file tax on the foreign country's equivalent of form 1099.
To use a baseball analogy, all the farm teams and minor leagues have been shipped out of the country, so where do we get the next generation of major league players from?
Same place NFL and NBA get their players: college.
If they come to the US, the US can tax their income. If they work remotely, their home country gets all the income tax.
Luckily for my country, most of people can be swayed by money. Big salary, and low taxes and houses with a big yard as still affordable for a professional.
Brain drain is vitally important to America's future, these ideological games being played by xenophobes and people with anti-immigration politics may result in some very serious long term consequences. (yes, I'm basically stating that we cheat to stay on top.)
A nation that is manufacturing less every year, and has zero growth in agriculture, but continues to have a significant population growth needs to have a plan for the future.
As for people who are worried we'll [continue to] hire armies of cheap labor under H1B visa program, I would much rather compete with a foreign worker who is located in the US, than compete with that same worker in his own country. At least he's paying taxes and rent here, and spending some of his money in the local economy. If they decide to apply for citizenship, I welcome them. We can complain about elections and jury duty together.
The brown ones remind Van Halen of a shoddy set builder.
Would copyright infringement be a valid form of protest if the incumbent music publishers start suing indie songwriters on trumped-up charges of creating a derivative work by accident? (For example, Bright Tunes Music v. Harrisongs Music)
Once you understand that "lefties" encompasses all evil dictators and genociders of the 20th and 21th Century AND drug cartels and mafia AND practically all terrorist groups AND most billionaries and CEOs of evil corporations on Earth AND most owners of the big and corrupted media (including MPAA, RIAA, Hollywood and Disney) that control the narrative, you stop listening to their lies, as they serve ONLY to their interests
Wait, really? Are you trolling, or just completely batshit bingo ball crazy?
are they using -march or -mtune?
I do understand that many won't run out of the box with less than a 586-class processor now, but I don't think P4 is common yet
There are millions like me who are waiting for the successor of N900.
Well, you should stop waiting, and get a case with a keyboard in it. Then, you can have the best of both worlds, because you don't have to carry the keyboard around when you're not using it. I understand that the TF series can be a bit big for one's pockets, but there are other options.
When you're making a consumer decision, do you ask yourself, "what do the vast majority of people do?"
Of course I do, and furthermore, the more important the decision is, the more likely I am to follow the herd. If I'm buying a car, for example, I want to know that I'll be able to get parts for it. If it's used and cheap then I can afford some expensive parts, no big deal. If I'm buying a new car, I want something good yes, but also something everyone else is buying so that I know that parts availability will be high, and parts cost will be low.
Of course, the mast majority of people who buy mobile devices buy Android devices, not iOS ones, so the herd is still no argument for Apple.
Kind of makes you think he was behind the attacks to begin with, huh? Otherwise, why negotiate with terrorists?
