This was the game that taught me what system requirements were. My parents got it for me for my birthday or Christmas - went to install it and my Leading Edge purchased from Crutchfield just laughed at me.

Mind posting the link to that comment? I purchased that bundle and would be curious to see where to start.

I'm just saying that just because you're willingly giving your DOB, doesn't mean it's not considered "sensitive information". An employer can use it to determine if you're old enough to work there (Arby's for example), but if it got out, someone could possibly use it against you, so it's considered sensitive.

Believe it or not, it really is. I was given this example by an attorney who specialized in HIPAA law: Say a chain store has a breach and the only thing that was stolen was a customer's name and their flu shot records - that wouldn't be that big of a deal, right? Well, say one of those customers was a fitness guru who built an empire on natural and holistic remedies. This changes the entire context of the breach.

The same thing would work for age. Look at that ridiculous California law they proposed to get IMDb to stop showing actors' and actresses' birthdays. There can always be a claim of age discrimination - especially in finance.

Interesting - I had no idea they did that. Well, I guess checking my instances in C won't be any help to you. Sorry!

Don't feel too bad about this - Android Auto is nice, but it still has a lot of drawbacks and deficiencies. I just switched to a car without it and realized I don't miss it at all.

It's by William Gibson, so it kind of does.

I had it done nearly 10 years ago and ever since, my eyes are much more sensitive to light and I do see halos around lights at night. That said, I'd still have it done again without a second thought - the benefits for me far outweigh those drawbacks.

Off topic: I may be old and cranky, but I simply can't stand articles with animated gifs - it just seems ridiculously unprofessional.

> At Atlassian, one of our design principles is to gracefully reveal depth.

Did anyone let the Jira team know? I love Jira, but the UI can be horribly clunky at times.
