You can't reliably parse text from a PDF (PDF mostly has no concept of paragraphs - just glyphs on a page). And how are they going to use their keyword scanner otherwise?
I actually did this once as a teenager. I told her that my dad died last week from a heart attack. They briefly apologized and then asked if I was now in charge of the long distance bill.
20 years at only 4 hours per day is what they advertise. 3 years at 24 hours a day is the equivalent of 18 years at 4 hours a day. Their warranty must be counting on a worst-case usage model. I wouldn't call that entirely unfair.
And what hasn't come under attack that has a single illegitimate use? We have bittorrent, home email servers, MP3, dvd rippers... If it has one illegal use, the whole lot of users will be deemed criminals.
They finally have the structure in place for a decent UI (as of 0.24, actually). Unfortunately, there aren't any great designers working on themes. A lot of designers who make pretty pictures, but know nothing of how to make things for people who are using the TV from 10 feet away with a remote.
Toilet paper dispensers are usually on the left, and somehow I've just never managed to try and work from the other side. I fear your strange fascination with my wiping habits.
How FAR away from the broadcast towers ARE you? I had near-perfect reception with a broken outdoor antenna leaning against a wooden beam in an attic and a basic amplifier....from 45 miles away.
They sure can be. You add Javascript to it, and you can do all the things you describe. They just use Flash because it's easier. If flash is gone, expect CPU-sucking HTML/Javascript based ads.
Better question - if they let it on the plane, then why didn't TSA ask the flight crew what the thing was instead of treating it like a bomb? Seems somebody should have already known it was on the plane during the flight.
And if you want to get really technical, FDA-style Nutrition labels are mostly white, so you'd probably end up saving ink over the typically colorful design that label replaces.
The big problem is how expensive RAM was at the time and how cutthroat PC pricing was. The end result was that very few computers at retail had more than 1GB of RAM for the first year or two of Vista's run. I cringed seeing Vista on less than 2GB. And it was even worse before SP1.
Not with Facebook. Their most basic level of authentication gives Gawker your friends list and profile information as well. Read only, but still gives away a lot.
Technically, Facebook's authentication at a minimum gives a lot of personal info to the service. Even the most basic level of Facebook Connect gives them access to a list of your friends, profile information, and so on. So it's a little more than blind authentication.
I've always wondered just how much electrical fluctuation is needed to cause early failures in CFL's. I have only replaced one CFL in 7 years. And really, I just didn't ever like the flicker of that one, as it was one of the early versions of a cheap brand.
I agree. A free e-version should be included with all physical book purchases. True, someone could just go and sell the physical book and keep the e-book, but that only counts for first-time sales. Seems that game publishers are more than happy to provide free DLC to first-time buyers - maybe this will catch on with books. I don't doubt Kindle might be around for 20 years or more, but maybe I'll move on to a different ereader before then. Therefore, I'm only willing to spend a small amount on an e-version anyway. I always want a hardcover or paperback version until there's an industry standard like MP3 or AAC, or (it pains me to say it) some universally-supported DRM like Ultraviolet for books.

The URL version of the headline has hyphens...unfortunately a few too many.
Don't know which Diamond card you're using as a tuner, but Mythbuntu should be familiar enough for you, and is what I've been using.
It does all that you're doing now, and works with your Media Center remote. What chip is your onboard graphics?

And even still nobody could use Mickey as their logo, as that's a trademark infringement.
It's still much easier with soap. Just no need for disinfectant soap. And I still don't get how it replaces a towel either.

That would be great. Now I can leave the bathroom with sanitized poop on my hands.
note 1: air can be ionized or not, but I have no idea whether it can unionize.
I fully support fair wages for air.

too bright. For some reason, super-white is rendered as black.
Anyway are there other objects in the image besides stars? (nebulas, galaxies, comets, planets ...
Yes. Now wouldn't it be great if we could share links to a coordinate and zoom level? They kind of missed one big detail to make this useful.

Thankfully, they didn't include that. If they did, I'd be done with Lifehacker for good.

Facebook Connect gives them access to your friends list and profile information. Definitely more than just your email and YES/NO.
