Windows Store wants your money (again)

We’re not sure how many Accounts are affected nor how many apps, but it seems to be an unintended consequence of some of the backend changes Microsoft has been making to their services.

Congratulations on the 4-for-4

Jesse, well done.

And, I notice, a touch of the rebel in you, putting the 'COMES document thread'
*before* the 'Off topic discussions' in the face of established practice.

Supremes Say U.S. Improperly Deported Man Over Marijuana
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, April 24 2013 @ 02:21 AM EDT
Justice Sonia Sotomayor noted that possession of marijuana with intent to
distribute is a federal crime, but she said that where the amount is small and
there is no sale, the crime does not qualify as an aggravated felony, or even a
felony. The government's attempt to characterize such an offense as an
aggravated felony, she said, "defies the commonsense conception of these
terms."

W3C’s plan for DRM in HTML5 is a betrayal to all Web users
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, April 24 2013 @ 03:17 AM EDT

Among the most popular claims are:

  1. that DRM doesn’t work; that it exists to protect creators, but since it is easily cracked and can be worked around, it is largely ineffective and irrelevant
  2. that DRM in HTML5 is a necessary compromise to finally bring an end to the proliferation of proprietary, platform-specific browser plugins such as Adobe Flash Player and Micrisoft Silverlight
  3. that the web needs DRM in HTML5 in order for Hollywood and other media giants to finally start giving the Web priority over delivering media over traditional means
