Congratulations, Timothy. Today's the day I take Slashdot up on its longstanding offer to disable advertising, and it's all because of you!

Because honestly, y'all don't deserve money for this level of pabulum.

Customers may not be able to site specific fears, but you don't have to; a company that's behaved as badly as ubisoft ( or ea for that matter ) should be throwing off all sorts of red flags.

Or maybe it would be an idea to not buy from the cheapest seller

What a great moral to the story! "Quit price-shopping, assholes - Pay full retail, or we... will... fuck you!"

Glad to see people feel just peach about that.

Simple, really:

Ubisoft just taught another generation of paying customers that piracy provides a superior product, regardless of price.

Congrats, Ubi! We haven't had a good DRM fuckup like this in a while - Without all your hard work, people might eventually forget how much it (and you) sucks. Keep up the good work!

No, frankly. At this point, they AREN'T doing anything wrong by ripping off their customers.

Customers are entering into the agreement knowing full well what kind of treatment they can expect from Ubisoft, and Ubisoft is providing it.

STOP FUCKING GIVING UBISOFT MONEY.

By this point, anyone who gets bitten by this or any future shady behavior from a software house with such a sterling DRM reputation deserves whatever they get.

What they don't deserve is our pity. Ridicule maybe. I could even be convinced that "Mocking them" is the appropriate response.

You become what you hate.

4.4 won't run on devices with less than 512M so even if the carriers wanted to they can't upgrade.

What???? it's totally unreasonable for a web connected but embedded OS.

"C++ is a three-way compromise between good object oriented design, backwards compatibility with C, and high performance. Stroustrup has never billed it as anything else."

Yeah, so when Bjarne wins the "sucks cocks for money with a smile, never billed it as anything else" award, we should all cheer?

To be clear: "WhatsApp Plus" is an imitation app that uses the WhatsApp name.

Go out and make "Internet Explorer Plus" and see how well that works for you. Maybe you can get Timothy to post something about it to Slashdot.

I think they need to have a Capcha as well so the delivery person can prove he's a human not an autonomous drone. Make him do a mathc problem to compute the number.

So will the Tesla-haters (other than the self-serving parasites Elon has made obsolete) like this, or hate it even more?

If only I could think of a car analogy to help me decide!

So this-or-that company promises you unbreakable encryption or that they won't poke their nose in your data. Do you trust them? I don't. All it takes is a little firm chit-chat from the national security agency of the country your data is hosted in, and your "safe" data isn't safe anymore.

If you really insist on putting files and shit in the cloud, encrypt it yourself before uploading it. Better yet, run your own server and provide yourself with your very own fucking cloud. Those who want real security aren't lazy and do the work themselves.

All kids under 10 love to have a playing card clipped into their bicycle spokes. It just sounds so bad ass.
