... and before anyone quotes that the Surface sold "modestly", please cite the source because the original article making rounds this morning was corrected since the quote was taken out of context.
Coin-operated lockers are commonplace in commuter stations - this is no different. Your argument seems like a problem specific to the UK, or other countries with such draconian laws.
Regarding your WebGuard issue, I actually had the same problem (they started blocking imgur!). For me, the actual issue was that the opt-out process does not work for prepaid accounts, but no one at T-Mobile call center knows that. I had to go into a store and show them my ID.
>On top of that, for 99% of Americans, having your package dropped off at your door is just fine.
You really can't pull numbers out of a hat like that. How many people live in an apartment with no front doorman, or requires a buzz code to get in? Probably more than 1% of Americans.
Or what if you ordered a shiny new laptop from Amazon? Would you leave it at your front door, even if you live in a safe area? I personally wouldn't.
Plus, These guys started in Canada, it's unfair to judge from purely American point of view.
>I don't see the advantage, there are UPS locations everywhere and are easy enough to get to.
You must not live in Canada, or any place that isn't super urban. Also, not everyone has a car. I can imagine myself using this if I lived in a dorm, especially far away from home (speaking out of experience).
On theft an vandalism, from what I see in their current installations, they're installed in busy areas inside train stations and school buildings. That's a lot better than hiding things under your door mat or tossing things over backyard fence.
What stops people from using Office (RT) with a mouse/trackpad and keyboard? They're making Office for ARM, not Office for touch devices exclusively. ARM doesn't imply that you have to use touch screens.
>So yes, your sarcasm aside, American names are an order of magnitude more distinctive.
I wouldn't be so quick to say that. Your data is only based on last names. Yes, it is true that Korean last names are an order of magnitude less distinctive than American ones. However, you failed to consider the entire name. While American names are chosen from a handful of common first names (e.g., John, Megan...), Korean first names are much more complex and less likely to collide with others [1] - at least not as much as English names.
Additionally, the Korean law mandates that websites collect people's social security number, not just "real names", so if I were to sue an online commenter for defamation, the court just needs to pick up the phone, call the site administrator, match the user account with SSN, and SSN with whatever the government has. So distinctiveness of names don't really have any meaning in this context. Also note that when you register for a website, you can't simply enter a SSN that passes the parity test; in addition to that, the SSN you entered goes through a service provided by the government that matches the entered SSN and name with actual data from financial institutions.
>“Fez is a console game, not a PC game,” he states, emphatically. “It’s made to be played with a controller, on a couch, on a Saturday morning. To me, that matters; that’s part of the medium.” I get so many comments shouting at me that I’m an idiot for not making a PC version. ‘You’d make so much more money! Can’t you see? Meatboy sold more on Steam!’ Good for them. But this matters more to me than sales or revenue. It’s a console game on a console. End of story.”
