As the summary says: developing websites and apps is basically free. Anyone who's serious about being a software developer is bound to have made something for fun.
...is that they want £500m from the government to build it, which is almost all of the money set aside to provide rural broadband. That may well be worth it (I know people in rural areas who would probably think so), but I'm not sure if it's a good idea for Fuijitsu to have no competition.
If he's editing articles in his field, which will be a lot of people's first port of call when learning about it, then he's providing a valuable service to his discipline. If academics want Wikipedia to be a better and more accurate resource, they know what they can do about it...

The Death of BCC
·
· Score: 1
People like him. The guy seriously believes that people are the problem, not the poorly designed email clients and protocol (then totally confuses himself and bizarrely hurls the blame at Facebook). If BCC was the best solution to the problem (that is, the problem of, er, betraying your friends), then it would work. As he demonstrates, it doesn't. Regardless, he pig-headedly believes it is because it works just fine at his end, and hey, nothing that's been around since the command line can be a bad thing.
If they're that clueless, they probably won't know the difference between an LCD and LED screen to start with. It's just another meaningless term to indicate why this year's model is slightly better than last year's model.
There are lots of legitimate uses for Caps Lock - but are you going to be doing those things on your Chrome Netbook? Remember this is a device primarily for browsing the Internet.
What if I don't want them to make my shitty Geocities site available? I don't care about you and your archiving high horse. I, and every other shitty Geocities site owner, made my choice when I didn't migrate. They're intentionally going against my implicit decision.
Most people aren't going to want to accidentally see the contents of that list when they use Google at work, or with their kids. We've hit enter for years and survived, I think we can still manage it.
I guess because closed source projects generally DON'T receive public scrutiny? Without taking any stance on the open/closed debate, that's an undeniable risk of open source (along with the associated benefit that somebody might spot it and fix it, naturally).
There's a Paul Dourish article kicking around the explores how ubicomp research often parallels sci-fi: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~afb21/tmp/puc-scifi-draft.pdf
That we'd end up developing things we perceived as futuristic and cool when we were young is kinda obvious when you think about it.
At least the summary admits that the financial argument misses the point. If anything, the study raises the question: how to you get people to shell out to save the environment?
I should have transparently been able to see my gmail inside wave. Requiring a separate window guarantees that I wouldn't use it regularly. Had I been able to read my regular mail in the same UI, I might have been tempted to use it more.
My thoughts exactly - companies like Intel are basically in the business of finding loopholes in the laws of physics. How long now have they been saying that Moore's Law can only hold out for another ten years?
Years of research went into language analysis software for this plug-in before an intern stumbled on the genius idea of simply counting the exclamation marks.
...that they probably only need a fraction of their former readers to subscribe to make the same money they were making on advertising. I doubt literally 'nobody' has subscribed and I think it's going to take a bit longer to see if they've hit the magic number where they match/surpass their previous earnings.

Shouldn't really matter - even if they are worse of then you, you still get something for nothing.
Welcome to the UK. Our £/Mbps/month has always sucked.

Note that the second one is no longer using the police crest because the official account threatened him with copyright infringement.

We're glad you could join us in blindly walking into lamp posts while stumbling and texting down the street.

This is why Buzz has been so popular. Oh wait...
Along these lines, I found a great research paper abandoned at the printer a few weeks back: http://www.yaroslavvb.com/papers/chen-bathroom.pdf

Sure, but their remaining 100,000 readers (as estimated by the article) are paying between £1 a a day and £2 a week...
Because two days earlier, the very same newspaper reported they'd only lost 66% of their readership.

I guess not a lot of Slashdotters watch Harry Hill then...
FIIIIIIIGHT!!!!
