I actually don't mind that - neither as a consumer, nor as a developer. I mean the 70/30 split has become more or less expected, and getting all your products onto a unified store makes it easier to both get your stuff discovered on the developer side, and discover stuff, find reviews and ratings on...

Mind elaborating why? Windows related security exploits are found on a weekly basis. The Windows patch which comes out on every 2nd Tuesday of the month fixes many such exploits. The latest one, for example, is an exploit with regsvr32 and regsvr64, which handle OLE controls, DLLs, ActiveX stuff - ...

While there are companies that do what you say, Microsoft earns enough money that it has no need to sell this sort of data. The cost of a PR backlash of something like that leaking would outweigh any profits they could have made. As to Microsoft giving away Windows, that's simply where the market ha...

The rules are too long, some are likely outdated - meaning it is no longer a requirement to clearly specify them. And yes, I know that it's scary to remove stuff like "Going out of your way to seriously negatively impact or end the round for someone with little IC justification is against the r...

My guess is they skipped win 9 because of marketing (os x). The win 95/98 thing seemed like an incredibly weak excuse to me. For a long time, Firefox and Chrome did the same, keeping parity in versions with each other, no matter if it was needed or not. Also you could always consider win 8.1 as win 9.

Please if you mess with the UI make it an option. I quite like the current UI and do not much care about losing that small amount of visibility at the bottom of the screen I made the current UI and maintain what I said back then: A good unified experience is far better than offering options. The on...

it doesn't matter what your score is. if you lose games, you lose elo. if you win games you gain elo. Individual score does actually matter - it has a percentage influence. Score, however, is that thing at the end of the scoreboard that nobody ever looks at, which includes teamwork points. Winning ...

If it helps they'll generally just write documents, surf the web and download films to watch on the screen. Thanks if you can or can't help. If this is all they do, I recommend a Chromebook. They are by far the simplest to use and cheapest computers and suffice for what most people need. I realize ...

Facebook does the same with your mobile phone, by the way. Their application uses your microphone and listens to your conversation, so that later it can display advertisements based on the topics you discuss in private. And likely store your conversations on their servers for all kinds of possible ...

But everything you posted in that thread is wrong... I mean this stuff was tested extensively, it's known what is gathered, how the checkboxes affect it, and to what extent users can control this.

Well neither Apple, nor Google, nor any of the flavour of Linux, nor Amazon, nor Mozilla, nor Microsoft on the WinPhone or XBOX store, nor Steam, nor Sony, nor anyone else that I can think of, have shown any indication that they are fucking anything up.

The Windows Store is slowly being populated with various, actually useful apps, and there are a handful I use that are distributed through that: namely Toggl, Todoist, VLC and Audible. The vast majority of apps I use are, of course, classic apps. Basically metro apps now work the same way as normal ...

We should just have tutorials like goon do, it shouldn't be hard to replicate, just some datums and maps. Nobody will maintain that.

With Paradox grand strategy games, you have to understand that they serve a very niche market and thus cost more than your typical first person shooter. If you end up enjoying EU4, then chances are you'll be playing it for hundreds of hours, so your "cost per hour" will be low, even if all...

This should not ever have been an issue.
