I may have to edit it a little and change the default 4 corners, but aside from that...

Opt-in would be better, but I don’t really see why this is such a big deal unless you have metered internet. It basically uses a bittorrent style distribution, which can make a difference if you are updating multiple machines in a local network (not business, for that you should be using WSUS or similar). If people…

crossing my fingers that this is another Clay Face fakeout...

93 years old and was still acting pretty much right up to the end. This man was a badass for pretty much his entire life and will be missed.

Hot Lips Houlihan?

This reminds me of when Amazon edited or removed copies of e-books that users had purchased. People lost their noodles about the reach the company had for products that had already been paid for and received. Now, Microsoft has shown that they can not only remove products from your console, they can lock out the…

As long as you are not using one of the versions of uTorrent that included the bitcoin mining software that slaved your system when idle, then I support this vote.

I've seen a bunch of these links hit gaming forum sites, luckily most of the time the spambot posting the links isn't smart enough to post any kind of clickbait text to try and trick people. Almost like the spambots are giving up actually trying to get people to click the links and they just settle for pissing people…

Let's see. We had the wedding at my uncle's house (huge, gorgeous yard with flowers everywhere), her cousin is a chef and prepared the food as his gift to us (we still had to buy the food), I bartered with the DJ and got free music in exchange for building him a website, and the list goes on.

This is always assuming that the spark plugs are in a location that a normal person can reach. In my 1999 Ford F-150, you have to take half of the engine out in order to get to some of the plugs and that means I will not be attempting this on my own.

I wonder if it prompts you for it if "Auto install updates" is selected?

Alonso and Brevoort also said that some of the books being published during Secret Wars will be laying the foundation for the next iteration of the Marvel Universe. Some of these have been announced, with a throwback X-Men book, a title with a married Peter Parker and a face-off between the Avengers and X-Men among…

I used to enjoy DBZ when I was a kid, but I tried to rewatch some of it and got bored because a single fight would span over most of a season sometimes. Heck, there were entire episodes devoted to Goku trying to gather enough energy for a Spirit Bomb, one single attack.

Did anyone else suddenly think that RasPi's got upgraded and could be used in time machines? I think the coffee wore off a little early today.

Hmm, funny that the "multiple websites reported" included Gawker...

This could really go either way. Ebooks are infinitely more environmentally friendly, no paper needed to print the book. This would be of biggest benefit for things like textbooks that are produced in huge quantities, are generally hundreds of pages, and are replaced every couple of years (what a ripoff). Heck, if…

Just in time for the Ars article about Comcast killing a user's internet connection as he was trying to download Steam games. The CS rep said that it sounded like it was a virus and basically wouldn't help the customer...

I dunno, some chick named Baby Ruthie signed it

at least it was the sign and not a judge...

Did anyone else read the headline as "One in the air, two on the ground" and take it as a suggestion?
