Maybe companies could try to make money selling goods or services instead of ramming ads down peoples throats.

I have long felt that as the end user that is forced to consume the advertisement content we should be getting paid for the time and brainpower needed to do so. At the very least it eats the bandwidth we are paying for. Perhaps this train of thought could lead to some interesting legislation.

Anyway, can't wait for the OS to hang like a web page because its waiting for the servers to send advertisement data. Can't wait for adblock and noscript for windows 10 operating system.

You want one? You can't have one :P

I wonder if this is the consequence of no child left behind?

...Cortana ...Project Spartan

So.. since I see the trend (HALO) and windows wants to be cool they will rebrand Windows to Master Sergeant and sub windows will be Grunts.

The judge should give the jurors back their internet access. Or maybe the jurors need to contact their ISPs. I mean, how else would they not be getting their internet?

English noobs

She states in her meandering conjecture that we don't know what or how a superintelligent life form would think.

Then through some leap in logic we get to the conclusion that it would be a dominant life form. Now to be fair I did not read the entire chapter and grabbed this conclusion from the summary. And on this forum we all know how accurate summaries generally are..

Lets state our assumptions.

Exactly.. I'm glad I found this comment because I was about to play the 'self discipline' card. The message is just do it. Every person is different and if its distractions, eliminate them. Eye strain - get it fixed. Fatigue - lifestyle changes.

Cripes, have people forgotten how to live?

misogyny: hatred, dislike, or mistrust of women

This is not a problem. I'll let you think about how a person (man or woman) can develop this feeling. Keep in mind it is a feeling, whether rational, irrational or otherwise it is nothing more than a feeling. .. BUT lets sound the alarms! One group of people doesn't like another. We need to control how they think because they might act. Run for the hills!!

In the glory gays of gaming you could swear and taunt and not have to worry about getting arrested for homophobia, racism, anti-semitism, misogyny etc. None of it is was meant maliciously and it should be considered playful banter. People who feel personally attacked by these taunts need to remove themselves from a voluntary community, find another community where they feel more comfortable, or realize the lack of motivation to actually cause harm - these are usually emotional outbursts caused by stressful situations (like getting pwned).

Let's get on the control how everybody thinks bandwagon. Here's some food for thought: Can you vocalize an opinion without offending anyone? Let's just end all communication now and protect fragile egos from the world.

All bleeding-heartism aside, when will academics actually be about academics?

I strongly agree!

How can more elite players possibly not understand the basics of movement? They would be no more than noobs.

I had no idea the contents of a physical drive changed its smell!

This is very intriguing!

The only idiot without a clue appears to be you.

Microsoft is handling it poorly. Every other company has already sent spam mails asking individuals to subscribe to get continued spam. Only Microsoft is the only company that finds this automated message to difficult to incorporate. ..and since you love spam so much how about you post your email addresses on the forum so we can oblige.

Kickstarter will be fine. I mean 'Solar friggin roadways!'.

You self-absorbed, inconsiderate, halfwit! If you can see it, sure as shit so can everyone around you.. You think your dimmer switch is making a mini black hole which is sucking in light? That would be the only way your phone isn't visible.

It only takes a moment to get distracted from a movie. 5 seconds is at least 100 moments.

Get out of my cinema!
