Fortunately I live on a spherical planet, so I have no need to walk in straight lines. Plus I have flat feet and a bad knee so I couldn't walk a "perfect" straight line if I wanted to.
Vista not being compatible is suprising to me, but XP support being dropped is acceptable. Who still running XP would actually be paying for Office 2013?
Why do I feel that OP is the type to then go around complaining that all the new workstations for the secretaries have i3's and generic Intel video cards instead of i7's with nvidia cards with 2gb's of ddr5 (or whatever they are up to) RAM?
Why not just shut your computer down when you're done with it? Unless you're on your computer 24/7... Why keep paying the power company? Years ago I realized I really didn't need to have a whole separate tower running as a server AT HOME. I've had to adapt but I haven't used any of my towers in over a year as I acclimated to using a notebook which is much more energy efficient than my towers were. It was nice always having an asterisk server, or file server set up incase I ever wanted to access something away from home but turns out not that important!
That's what I thought of at first, which would have been nice. Due to life circumstances and moving I tether to my phone currently on 3G which is fine for web browsing and sometimes can watch youtube at home, but an easy way to get my updates without having to bring my laptop to the library (I'm on Ubuntu but would have debated trying Fedora again) was an interesting proposition till I read the article.
If this was about television, movies or music, people would be on here preaching about how you should pirate what you want to see. So anonymous coward, next time an article such as those comes up, I ask you to come back and ask people to support sites with free music & video for download.
But when all fiat currencies collapse, and the world economy collapses, that hunk of gold is going to be so useful I'll be able to put money on my families table.... **cough cough** I think I'm going to put all my money into a stock pile of shovels that I can then barter with, or hit people with.
Lady Gaga has asked people to send her a link to a torrent on twitter for either an album or some TV show she missed. She is nerdy in a way though so maybe not a good example as if she wasn't rich she'd probably be using an 8 year old laptop with Ubuntu on it (Which I've found is very popular with poor hippy chicks who can't even afford to hackintosh a netbook.)
The 4 types of comments will be:
Don't trust the cloud without local backups.
The users had notice, they are only whining they waited until the last minute.
Who uses MMS anymore?
Should have had an iPhone.
There's thousands of good games between PC & all the consoles I haven't played over the last 10-20 years that it wouldn't be hard at all to never buy a new game again.
