What if I progammed my car to drive and avoid stopping when it's about to hit pedestrians? Why if I did this unintentionally? Where do we draw the line?

It's sad that "randomized dungeons" are the new thing, when Diablo II had those out-of-the-box over a decade earlier.

But actual hardcore gamers (you know, those that are not unlike gamer from 1999) don't fall for that crap. Most Diablo II gamers stayed away from Diablo III, or played it very little. The same applies for Starcraft/Starcraft II.

Blizzard's former audience has moved on to other companies.

Blizzard no longer targets hardcore gamers, but just average users who like videogames. It's a much larger audience, has lower expectations, and, above all, allow themselves to be dissapointed over and over (EA? *Sims*? Any game which has had over 3 releases in the last 5 years?)

You'd need VMs to emulate all sorts of hardware and architectures. We don't have all that yet. We can't emulate every mouse, network driver, etc, so there's no way to test those drivers (which are part of the kernel).

I don't know why we haven't had an "Ask Slashdot" with that question yet. It's on par with the ones we've seen lately.

Same question, but at dropbox.

Also, the guy at Jolla have a slightly better history on open tecnologies and alike - AFAIK, they tend to reuse a lot of technologies, instead of suffering from NotInventedHere sindrome. Interoperability looks pretty promising too.

I also think they may have taken some (potential) customers from Ubuntu Edge, since their goals overlap a bit, and Jolla opened up pre-ordering first.

Youtube? Ads? Ever heard of adblock?

If you care about privacy, you can host your own OpenID provider, otherwise, just use one you trust. What's the issue there?

Why are they easier? People type URLs every day, what's so hard about them?

So, how is this an improvement over OpenID?

If the browser can read them, then they're readble.

I haven't done much research on IE in particular, but this works for any browser:
-Set up a DNS server. Spoof everything to localhost and proxy the real stuff.
-Set up a web server (with TLS with your own CA if you want).
-Install your custom CA
-Open the browser, have it autocomplete the password.
-Log traffic.
-Profit.

So once you've logged in, it's accesible.
Others OSs encrypt your home directory with the user password, so the same would apply. Doesn't mac have disk encryption as well?

I've never seen this outside the US, and I don't think it's frequent for ISPs to block this elsewhere.
As for me, I'm in Argemtina, and I've had several ISPs in the last decade, and none of them block or forbade hosting server (including web servers, vnc servers, game servers, etc).

Anyone else from another country care to add their experiences? For what I can see, this is pretty much US-only (as is capping GB-per-month, which only seems to have taken of in canada as well).

Why spread that knowledge? OpenID doesn't require you to make any information available to any third party - unless you pick a third party provider, but still, you've a large amount of options from where to pick.
