Not all Australian residents are Australian citizens over the age of 18.

Everyone except Canonical are switching to Wayland.

No, the announcement was for an OPT OUT system. They backtracked claiming they meant for it to be opt in, yet how something like that gets written up in sufficient detail describing how the opt out system would work when they intended opt in just boggles the mind (read: they're a pack of liars).

Doesn't necessarily mean they know the decryption keys does it?

If Elop does move back to Microsoft, Nokia would then need a replacement CEO, no?

So, what was better? At the time, Windows Mobile was pretty much the only option even though it sucked.

I don't think the apps call any APIs to trigger the new functionality, I believe the OS just does its thing assuming the apps will behave correctly. Considering part of the reason the original Metro split screen stuff was so limited was because Microsoft "guaranteed" that apps will only run 1/3, 2/3 or 3/3 of the screen, it's quite likely some apps won't behave correctly when resized to an arbitrary size. Running in the preview *should* be sufficient to test for this, but there's no guarantee the preview behaves exactly like RTM.

With Microsoft cancelling TechNet and devaluing MSDN, I wouldn't be surprised if that starts happening soon.

Those features I mentioned will affect existing apps, not just apps to be newly released. Developers would like to test to make sure the new features don't interact poorly with existing apps.

It doesn't really matter how it's done in the Android world, the point is that developers currently pay for MSDN subscriptions precisely to get access to Microsoft software for development purposes and now those perks are largely useless. It's a regression on a paid subscription, we have every right to be unhappy about it.

Yes, they are in the Preview, but as a developer I'd still want to test on RTM before customers get their hands on it.

What features, you ask? Well, the new DPI scaling mechanism and arbitrary Metro split screen resizing will have significant implications for UI layout, for example.

Since when was this discussion limited to Metro apps? I'm pretty sure most antivirus vendors as one obvious example would want to get their hands on the RTM build too to ensure compatibility.

Nowhere in the title, summary or article was the word "alive" mentioned.

I'm assuming pepty is referring to this which merely talks about removing the distinction between hosting files vs hosting streams. As far as I can tell, it says nothing about watching a stream.

Minor nitpick - China is arguably USAs greatest identifiable "enemy" (perhaps threat or rival is a better term here). The terrorists are probably a bigger threat. Heck, they do a pretty good job of screwing themselves over, who needs enemies?

No. It was a 32GB card that I've had for a little over 2 years, it's been at near-full capacity for most of that time, and it's only started to have issues over the past 6 months.
