What it sounds like to me is separating the notions of files from the notion of storage. So only the engineer and the underlying system needs to worry about whether your data is on your hard drive, or the cloud, or a pen drive. Instead, the user can just worry about their text/image/video, wherever it happens to be.
Of course, it doesn't help that Richard Harper (a social scientist) writes such horrifically ponderous text.
At eight abreast the seats don't look unusually big to me. As for the lighting, personally I'd rather not fly in some kind of rainbow technicolour dream... oh right, I get the name now.
As of this week, ACM authors can now post copies on their personal/institution website, through a somewhat convoluted process. I think ACM already let you do this (I've never had any cease and desists in any case), but this is now integrated into their digital library and contributes towards your download count. A small step, but a good step.
Isn't this much easier to achieve -- albeit with less accuracy -- via fuel tax? Every time the government here proposes a mileage tax, I can't help but think we already have one. Added benefit of encouraging people to drive more efficient cars.
Fortunately, this is being reported in the media as well. It's slowly worked its way up the BBC News front page today. The person who started is is allegedly Sam Duckworth aka Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly.
Actually, Blackberry's are massively popular with the country's yoofs. I was surprised to find this out a few months ago myself, but apparently they really like BBM
All this death of Spider-Man stuff is in their Ultimate line that does away with existing continuity. Peter Parker's still alive and kicking in the regular books.
I don't know what Ofcom is thinking. Take-up on digital radio is low, costs are still high, and the benefits to the consumer are minimal when compared to digital TV. I really can't imagine people retrofitting every car and replacing every alarm clock.
Well, the investigator says he was put under massive amounts of pressure from NOTW (but he would). There are also reports that then-editor Rebekah Brooks, now major exec in the company, contacted investigators personally. So it could still be the case that at least one major exec was entirely in on this.
However, nothing has been proven at this point. I personally don't like the way the public (read: Twitterati) has launched a campaign to destroy the company's advertising revenue without any wrong-doing being proved.
Not really. The normal system is a brick wall, not a window. It's like knocking a hole in the wall and putting a new, frosted window in. Anonymity is an important part of the peer review process, else everybody would be too busy worrying about their reputations and careers to be honest.
Yes. You can even preview your profile through the eyes of a non-friend or any one of your friends (though not friends of friends or people in your network, who might see more info than a total stranger). Most people won't know about this, due to Facebook's Byzantine privacy settings. But those people probably won't Google it either.
You all have valid points, but they all relate to the *existing* tagging functionality. All this new functionality does is make it slightly easier for your friends to tag you, which they're clearly putting the effort in to do anyway. They know what you look like.
I don't really see the problem with this one. Is it so bad that my friends are allowed to know what my face looks like? Is that how scared of everything we've become? I know it's pretty crappy the way Facebook quietly defaults everything to public, but in this case I'm not quite sure what the problem is. If it's just the fact that you don't get a say in who tags you in what, that's a very very old (albeit legitimate) problem.

Please. What about a file you're working collaboratively on in the cloud? Do you own that? That's obviously the kind of thing they're talking about.

Isn't Europe traditionally a stronger market for Nokia? Or perhaps they're hoping to sell a few more N9s before replacing it.
Here's the ACM link I failed to post before.

Given the effects were generally temporary, lasering them might be a slightly extreme reaction.
I'm not letting a Lasik specialist with blurry vision point a laser at my eyes.
Or GBP 480.

To put it in Facebook's terminology.
UK prices have also been adjusted, but they've gone up to 69p, £1.49 and £1.99.
...means end of 2012. That's a year and half away. Windows 7 is already about two years old.

...whether or not it's a "top tier" journal will surely depend on the quality of the submissions.

Moffat has clarified that he was only talking about the current season: https://twitter.com/#!/steven_moffat/status/75506136593338368
If they don't offer anything of value, you don't need to download it. Problem solved.
