The obvious solution is the one you aren't willing to accept: if you can't find a legitimate means to acquire it, then you can't acquire it. Piracy is still illegal regardless of how difficult it is to obtain a legitimate copy of a piece of software. I think it's been mentioned before: if you lose your original…

Of course, this is all a matter of personal preference, but based on most people's need to be able to comfortably take in the entire scene, your screen size is WAY too big for the distance you're viewing it.

I'm with you — I'm actually interested in the story's contents, but don't want it on the Gizmodo/tech blog I read. I don't mean to be critical of Gizmodo (and it wouldn't help), but there's more than enough off-topic posting in here these days.

That was my first thought. We have a fridge out in the garage just for soda and we only fill it with 24 packs to be frugal.

I am right there with you. Why the hell is there bamboo in this article?

A simple [SATIRE] tag like you folks usually put in the subject may have avoided a backlash when we audience read that this came from The Onion. I'd like to think the majority of us would get that this was supposed to be comedic, but.....

Doesn't work here either — same OS/Browser. Delete, Shift+Delete, nada. Tried Ctrl+Delete... tried highlighting up/down. Tried using the mouse. More nada.

I've never had any success with OnLive either — not over WiFi (in the same house, no less) nor 4G LTE... have tried a number of devices (several phones and two tablets) but the latency was just awful when it would ever work. Gave up on it too.

I still juggle a plethora of IM screen names and use them all pretty heavily and regularly.

Horrible software — wolf in sheep's skin designed with more of a malicious attempt than helpful one. Shame on David for recommending this one without giving it a close look.

Most people who say this forget to cost in a legitimate Windows license, which is typically included with a pre-built retail system. ;)

... great, but that really has nothing to do with the poor shopping decisions people make as a result of social conditioning.

Anyone else want to face-palm over the author's "RIM's job" reference? XD

Cool... but why?

Does anyone else have a problem with a company limiting your usage on an unlimited usage plan? Did I misread 'unlimited 3G' and misunderstand their cellular usage index system for interrupting or cancelling your service if you exceed usage?

Maybe — but wouldn't whiteboard paint be easier and more economical?

EVerybody gets one.

Potato bread typically lasts a lot longer... probably other, heavier breads may too.

Another skewed/poorly performed 'study'. I wonder how they chose their 1.3% of the US population's internet. We've had 40 Mbps and 20 Mbps DSL very cheap in Boise, ID and surrounding areas for quite a while. There's no mention of how they arrived at their numbers, if it's per capita or per household, what ISPs they…

I wrote the same program quite a while back called SSD Offload Buddy with shell extensions. Junction/symlinks are a great way to balance size and performance on SSD drives, especially with games you don't play often but still want to keep handy.
