No, it's just required to hold a parade, which disrupts traffic and commerce in the area for a short time. There are plenty of other ways to exercise your freedom of speech that don't disrupt anyone, and don't require a permit.
The setting to turn off instant search appears next to the search box, alongside the safe search setting. I'd guess the setting for this new thing will be just as easy to turn off.
There are Firefox addons that will fake your user-agent string as something else. you get the same result as if you had switched to another browser, without the hassle of having to do so.
Another commenter was able to reliably change which quote he got using a Firefox addon that changed his user-agent string. I think I'll trust the guy who actually tested his hypothesis over the untested theory.
Are you suggesting that what we call things doesn't change how we feel about them? The article is suggesting that including the term "cyber" makes it sound less serious to people, and that in order to properly address it we need to simply refer to it as crime.
Also, your examples are not very good, IMO, as they're descriptions of specific crimes, not a description of an entire class of crime (which is increasingly becoming blurred in with regular crime as more and more of our lives are online). The distinction they make is important to describe what happened. It isn't as important that you make the distinction between extortion or theft made over the internet/on computers vs. not.
I disagree. The average modern game is a much larger production than a game from 10 or 20 years ago, mostly enabled by the mainstream games market. 20 years ago your market was small, and nobody could afford the lavish art and development budgets that are commonplace today.
It's a business decision, pure and simple. The more people your game is accessible to, the more copies you sell. Why spend a lot of time developing a game 5% of the potential market will want when you can spend the same effort appealing to the other 95%?
During that time I saw friends' apps get pulled from the app store and from their phones
I've never heard of Apple actually removing people's apps from their phones, despite reading several online publications that cover Apple news extensively, including Ars Technica and Wired. I have several apps on my 4 that I downloaded ages ago on my 1st gen that were subsequently pulled from the app store for violating the app store rules. Can you cite some evidence of this?
USPS also needs to work on their shipping prices. My girlfriend shipped a small (~2 lb) package recently, and USPS grounds would have cost her $20. OnTrac was $10 for next day, and it arrived at 10:30 in the morning. Charging more money for things is not necessarily a good way to make more money off of them.
Really it isn't the complexity, but the small differences in what happens when I open new tabs, type things into the address bar, etc. Even in places where I like Chrome's UI better, I just can't get motivated to adjust to a new browser. I admit it's mostly just laziness on my part, like most people I am a creature of habit, and am loathe to change them without a pretty compelling reason.
I still use Firefox because it's familiar to me and I haven't come across any features in Chrome that make me want to learn the idiosyncrasies of a new piece of software. Chrome is pretty slick, though.
1)That means anybody who uses their forums is going to be labeling themselves, forever after, as a nerdy computer game player to future employers, dates, etc...which is not something that is looked upon positively by many people.
But you are a nerdy computer game player. Are you really that concerned with hiding that from someone you (presumably) somewhat interested in getting to know on an intimate basis? Wouldn't that make finding someone compatible with yourself that much more difficult, if you're holding back parts of your personality? I've never bothered to hide my nerdiness, and it's been a very long time since I felt like anyone was judging me negatively because of it.
Even that analogy is flawed, because it could be argued that you should have known that something that would normally be priced $100 would never be that cheap. With the slot machine, how are you supposed to know when it's not working correctly?

So in the USA the Republicans would be locked up for criticizing the Democrats, and the Democrats would be locked up for criticizing the Republicans.

I'm not sure why or how, but that sounds dirty to me.
This one I've seen, and that makes me worry about the other two...

another question: how come you all are racist pigs? only ones that can qualify for your astronaut corps are those who are little, green, and men.
As it turns out, some of them are women. Do NOT ask them to show you how to tell the difference.

The box contained a brand new iPhone 4, so you better believe there was insurance on it. It was insured through OnTrac, as well.

Nearly everything is toxic if you consume enough of it. Does that mean that everything is poison?
