I don't even see how that line is relevant to anything. If you're accessing it through VPN, the link from the VPN to Hulu is still going to be unencrypted due to lack of SSL.

640K ought to be enough for anybody.

Going after the people who wrote the software will have no effect, since they do not and cannot control how the software is used. What happened to Napster etc all but ensured that was how future file sharing software would be written.

It is in the works. You can check their progress by opening chrome://flags/#high-dpi-support and enabling the experiment.

Noscript and many similar tools allow selective blocking of JS based on domain... 99.9% of ads are served from dedicated domains so you just block them and the main site is unaffected.

There is a reason lights already don't alert you to how long until they turn green. If you know when a light is going to turn green, you'll be ready to immediately speed through. But the guy crossing the other way is trying to beat the red light. Suddenly your chances of getting into an accident go way up. Without knowing when the light turns green, it will probably take you a bit longer to get going.

encfs looks really cool in that it will transparent encrypt files and they look like regular files to dropbox etc, but they can go on any file system and encfs will still recognize the encryption when they come out. So that's always an option.

Sadly, the Windows port of it that I've tried is really buggy. I had to use it inside a Linux VM to really use it.

It uses the NTVDM, which emulates DOS. Windows doesn't actually run on top of DOS anymore.

199.16.156.38 and 199.16.156.230 are also showing up as IP addresses for twitter.com. So that could help someone maybe (hint: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts)

Of course it does. Microsoft is very good with backwards compatibility, especially from NT onward, and that's assuming Mozilla wasn't interested in supporting their most commonly used platform (I'm pretty sure Windows is). This is just talking about the port to Metro, which has seen poor reception.

Of course I doubt Firefox would have been a "true" Metro app... I don't think Chrome was... as part of MS' attempt to be anti-competitive with web browsers in Windows 8, they allow the default web browser to inject itself into Metro, but still run outside of the sandbox (otherwise, they would have to use the IE rendering engine! At least AFAIK). But you still want the UI to look Metro. Anyway, if the browser is not the default, it can still run but only on the desktop in its traditional UI. This restriction also applies to IE.

You have to be a Comcast subscriber to use the service and presumably your account is associated with whatever activity you do, just as if you'd done it from your home connection.

As long as we're talking Android, Tasker is invaluable for getting your phone to configure itself based on location, or time of day, or whatever.

JuiceDefender helps increase battery life.

Nova Launcher is just better than the stock launcher and has a ton of features I can't live without.

Right now I'm finding it unplayable, it needs a patch.

• Game crashed to desktop within five minutes of its first launch, while trying to sign on to their online thing.

• The online sign in system just doesn't work. If you go to their website it works just fine, but the game client can't log in. No error message or anything, it just sits there.

• No way to redeem the Steam keys I got, eg the soundtrack and comic book. Probably part of the online system.
• Voices do not play or play low enough that I can't hear them. This pretty much means I got lost in the first few minutes of gameplay and this was what motivated me to quit and try again later.

• Some settings don't seem to be properly persisted between sessions, like invert mouse y and subtitles.

• Performance seems extremely poor. I have a Radeon HF 58xx card and a quad-core 2.67ghz i5. According to the game page I meet the minimum requirements and then some, so I was surprised when, on normal graphics settings (which were recommended to me) the game performed poorly with wild fluctuations in FPS. Most of the time it would be a steady (if ugly) ~40, but then it would drop to 1FPS for a few seconds for no perceivable reason at all.

I am going to have to wait for a patch I guess and hope it fixes most of these issues.

Considering how many people text while driving, it might PREVENT one!

The more important bit is that your PC needs to have contacted the cheat DRM server. The only way this should happen is if you have a cheat installed that is trying to contact it. It's not something you would try to do with a web browser without the cheat.
