So isn't this just another one of those open/secure authentication mechanisms, which means that we're now going to have to remember an ever expanding and potentially insecure methods, instead of passwords, of identifying ourselves to various entities on teh internetz?
The feature still seems to be available - so you can set an image if you want, but I guess they won't be providing you with one of their own picked images as a default.
Dunderheaded inbred fucking morons? Why are you being so polite to those goddamn piece of shit cum-stains on humanity who would regress us back into the dark ages due to a selfish, head-up-their-haemorrhoid-filled-assholes mentality?
Let us rejoice, fellow PC gamers, as we are wont to do upon an occasion so splendid. Partake in a feast, that we shall, on yonder banquet in honor of this occasion.
I RTFA too. I was expecting something completely different when they said "Peppermint OS One integrates video sites like YouTube and Hulu right into the desktop experience."
I then realized that you'd have to be pretty thick to consider a few bookmarks an "integration" of those sites into the "desktop", but clearly the author and submitter did fall for it.
The only good bit about the entire article was the pun at the end - "Peppermint OS is a breath of fresh air." Har har har!
Why didn't you close your third party accounts when you were shutting down your old site?

Perhaps the book was written several years ago, when the author was living under a rock in order to get the quiet-time necessary to write his book. In retrospect, not the best move.
Yes, it's like when you travel to another country. You could eat some of the local food and fall sick (maybe), but once your guts are accustomed to it, you'll get better at it. TFA is simply another story in which a group of scientists have confirmed things we already know by experience.
Telnet is for boys. Real men hold the cable up to their eyes and blink in the voltages representing the packets requesting the URL. The response is irrelevant.
And because it's Britain, there isn't much to worry about. The project will be delayed by 8 years, overrun its budget by about 12 Million GBP. They'll come up with a crap logo for it as they did for the Olympics, and within a few hours of launch, the drones will malfunction and start tasering trees; eventually the whole project will be scrapped for health and safety reasons, I mean, what if the tree falls on someone while it's being tasered?
"Following Google's announcement ending support for Internet Explorer 6, I find myself wondering whether we (Web developers) really need to continue providing support for IE6 and IE7..."
What a shame. It took a move by a large company like Google to get you to wonder about supporting IE 6, rather than reaching this conclusion through your own experience and common sense. Of course, this shame is also a blessing, as I'm hoping that it will get others like you to question the same, and hopefully companies will all follow suit.
In my town to satisfy a push for more cycle paths they simply painted a picture of a white cycle at the head of all the sidewalks . . . chaos and injury ensued. No back tracking though - just some back-slapping about implementing a 'green' transportation policy!
You were lucky. In my town, they painted a picture of a white cycle on the bus that was waiting to hit you. And they covered the bus in sharp spikes just in case you had the luxury of brakes.
Virgin Media (In the UK) throttles your speed if you download a certain amount of data between certain times. For example, on the M package, if you download 1.5 GB between 1000 and 1500, they bring you down to 200 or 300 kbps. That seems fair to ensure that nobody's encroaching on someone else's speeds (although I'm no network engineer, so someone else can confirm whether this is a legitimate line of reasoning by them).

Coming soon, the sequel - 'oh my god' and finally in 2011, 'ok, thanks, bye'

Is this a model that could be applied to other free software projects, or is it just a one-off?
It's just a one-off. Next!

And the T-shirts. Don't forget the t-shirts.
And by "a little piece of IE heaven," they actually mean "any other browser".

He basically wants someone to tell him about Fiddler.
So basically, they're going to court and simply repeating themselves?
They're starting to sound like a broken record now.

Would I have been so forgiving if it were IE that were late with their security additions?
Thanks for adding the security features to Chrome, developers at Google. That is all.
