World of Warcraft’s monetization seems to be getting way more aggressive

of course it is. it’s a microsoft property now.

similar issues with other titles or just that one file?

the leopard is gonna be feasting.

programs with tickers often have something on a portion of it, especially sporting events. at least it’s only a program promo and not a flashy animated thing for a prescription drug or something.

a “public performance” is something like a concert, stage production, or public screening where people are gathered who are not family members.

a static screenshot would not be considered one, but might be covered elsewhere in the document; but also allowed anyway by fair use.

like win7 esu subscription?

from the wiki article

If there were as many monkeys as there are atoms in the observable universe typing extremely fast for trillions of times the life of the universe, the probability of the monkeys replicating even a single page of Shakespeare is unfathomably small.

his ‘project liberty’ has its own protocol, dsnp (decentralized social networking protocol).

does anything even use it?

i don’t even do sms on my ‘dumb’ phone.

when the phone makes a noise, it’s either low on battery (or, if it was plugged-in, fully charged), an alarm or timer i set, or a very high probability of being a legit call (the carrier has reasonably-effective blockers for spam, bots and spoofed origin calls).

But I don’t care about what Jim at the laundry mat did last weekend, or which machine he thinks makes socks dry faster.

tough. :) here’s what he (might have) said: it’s the 2nd and 3rd dryers from the left. the smaller ones. you also need to use the smaller ‘double load’ front-loading washers. those have an extra extract cycle and get the most water out. the dryers used to literally only cost 25c to dry most loads (an extra quarter for all denim or something), but they (new owners of the laundry) increased the minimum needed per-load to $1.50 (on top of more than doubling the washers’ prices). greedy bastards.

i’m gonna go with china, russia, or ‘middle eastern’ (of some sort), butthurt over availability of certain user-uploaded content.

they’re still fingerprinting and tracking devices, pairing that data to facial rec and movement tracking from cameras, and all that to register transaction data.

or, take a different spin.

“Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League season three debuts to over 200 Steam players!”

lol. nope. not happening. that’s not how to get me to even think about using your search again (having quit over a decade ago).

all you need is a fat sharpie…

or maybe some idiot just forgot to turn on the faucet while it was still over the ocean…

some ‘third-party’ printer consumables have custom chips on them already.
