Define "completely". Is it better than IE8,7, etc? Yes. But it still lacks support for a lot of CSS3, things that WebKit and Firefox support. Note that I don't care if the standards have been ratified or not. In practice it just doesn't matter - the best browsers support it and MS should too. It is typical Microsoft half assed-support. You'd think a company with that much R&D money could produce a standards compliant browser in a timely fashion, but apparently it takes more than money to hire talented product manager and developers.
Maybe. Maybe not. See also, Google Reader overhaul, GMail iOS app. Google seems to be sucking lately at application creation. Used to be yo could count on Google to release new stuff that would be awesome. They're phoning it in now that they are big and corporate.
Maybe a little more reality and a lot less DailyKos / Huffington Post would do you some good. Of course if you like the echo chamber, by all means, carry on.
I count 2 possibly 3 logical fallacies in your statement. If a are typically part of group x and b are typically part of group x it does not follow that b = a. Let alone that you've given no evidence to support that either a or b are typically part of group x. You've also failed to provide any link between liking an individual and being a terrorist. Yes your tautology is bad because it is nonexistant. There is no universal truth in any of your statements. Perhaps you meant the rhetoric usage instead of logic, then it makes sense. I am not a tea party member, but I generally agree with their views on the federal government. I see no more ignorance there that in any other group. I've met some astoundingly stupid conservatives in my day, but I've also met some astoundingly stupid liberals with masters degrees. If I were to judge you based on this post and make assumptions, much as you judge a group of people that you likely have zero experience with, I'd have to conclude that you are a fucking moron.
Well, we're all disappointed that the ruling was a PDF and that the court doesn't use ASCII for your viewing pleasure. Maybe you should stick to browsing with Lynx on a VT100.
The TSA are disgusting. I just had a fairly bad experience with them and I won't bore you with the details, but I will say categorically that John Pistole and company are lying about the procedures they use and how they go about things. At sky harbor airport in Phoenix they simply run everyone through the scanners - you can choose the scanner, the pat down or not to enter the secure area. that's it. I watched a news conference with TSA officials the night before I flew and they unequivocally state that you only get enhanced screening if you fail the other screening or are selected for some other reason and that on average only 3% are screened that way. Absolutely and completely untrue. And yeah, the TSA are "only doing their jobs". Well, yeah, so were the brownshirts in the 1930's. Our civil rights are being eroded on numerous fronts, but I guess it's all OK as long as no one misses the next episode of American Idol and everyone gets a shiny new iPhone. anyplace within 1,000 miles I need to go I'm driving, or I'm not going no matter how much I want to - I refuse to carry a bottle of lube with me everywhere I go.
I have to disagree. In the mid 80s to mid 90s the case for UNIX, particularly SCO UNIX was particularly strong, and we typically 50% or less that the cost of a Novell or NT based network, especially if using dumb terminals. The problem was all the people who knew DOS couldn't figure out UNIX and would choose Novell or later, NT by default, even though it cost twice as much and ran half as fast and was half as reliable.
Link to an external JS or not, the fact of the matter is that when the page ends up in the browser they both / all reside within the same DOM. Your ivory tower view of how things should be is commendable, but not workable in the real world.
Tau is already used to describe the relationship of speed to the apparent speed of the passage of time. Also, both Pi and "Tau" are irrational, and since Tau is 2pi, this seems like a huge fucking waste of nerd time.
Someone shit in your cereal this morning? Nice ad hominem rant there
The two are different yes, but they both include secret software on the machine to take photos without the user's consent, and while the purpose of obtaining the photos may be different, the intent is the same - to get a picture of the user of the laptop without their knowledge or consent.
No. He HAD pancreatic cancer which (probably) spread to his liver. He has a new liver and as a result has to (or had to) take anti-rejection drugs, and no pancreas and a bunch of other missing stuff due the whipple procedure used to remove the pancreas, etc. He probably has a hell of a time absorbing nutrients, maintaining his blood sugar, etc. I respect the man for continuing to get out of bed every day.
No kidding. I've been to my local Shack numerous times over the last fer years looking for parts, like enclosures, crossovers, resisters, etc. I always end up driving 30 miles to Fry's. RS sucks now. I have no idea how they stay in business.
It's not the same or even close. Open Safari, from the Menu -> Safari -> Preferences. On the first page un-check "open safe files after downloading". The point being that if this was truly an informative article and not an advertisement they could have included this little bit there. Having that option checked is a prerequisite for this exploit.
Follow up. I find it interesting that they gloss over the fact that to completely avoid this all you need to do is turn off download safe files in safari, and/or not be stupid. Their solution is to purchase their anti-malware package for Mac. Question for samzenpus, how much did these guys pay you to post this?
Not really. And I wasn't really surprised to find that this is a slashvertisment. Sophos makes anti-virus software for Macs. I prefer to get my news from someone who doesn't have a vested interest in selling me stuff directly related to the content of the article.
This is completely true. The question is whether or not you NEED bluetooth, web cam, etc, etc. I have done countless comparisons and I generally find that the iMacs are comparable in price to desktop machines when you incluse everything, including a web cam, bluetooth. wireless keyboard and mouse, a 27" IPS monitor, etc. I have found that the MacBook Pros are about 20% more expensive than their Lenovo Think Pad counterparts (generally T-Series. I don't compare to Dell, I've burned up a lot of Dells and I just don't like the disposable build quality). Of course you could then go on to calculate the benefits of a machined aluminum enclosure and the glass click pad, etc.
The other thing is longevity. I find that Macs generally last me about 4 years. I typically buy one level from the top, avoiding the large premium for purchasing the absolute best one. My current Mac is 3 years old and will be perfectly capable of running Lion when it ships. Most Dells I've had simply don't last as long. The PS dies, or the CPU fan goes, or something. You're not saving anything if you save 25% on each purchase but have to buy twice as many...
The base MacMini is expensive, but can be worth it if you are Mac based, but the upgraded MacMinis are really expensive compared to PC counterparts. I have a couple of Minis because they were only $700 and they serve their purpose well.
Personally I prefer UNIX to Windows and there is some commercial software I need that doesn't have decent replacements on Linux, so the Next derived OS X is a natural fit for me and my company. One of these days maybe I will be able to run my business on Linux, but I've been waiting for the year of the Linux desk top and it has yet to arrive. I do, however, use Linux based servers.
I'm sorry but you're way out of line. Firstly, I'm not a Tea Party member, but I am a sympathizer. You must be getting all your news from CNN and NBC if you actually believe that all Tea Party members are racist or retarded. YOu have nothing constructive to say, just a long rant of insults. Let's hear a detailed list of the real policy issues you have with them, not more of the Bill Maher inspired ad hominem attacks.

I think you mean duct tape: http://www.politics.php3.salon.com/2011/10/27/ryanair_duct_tape_controversy/singleton/ OK, not really.

sounds more like something Tony Weiner would be up to these days...

You're very ill informed.

Yes. It's called A-GPS

It ended. In 1983. The new shit is shit and doesn't count.

That was either an ID10T or a PEBCAK error.

Bullshit. I do as well, and you know what I do? when I go to take a piss I check my e-mail. You sound like a world class douche bag.

They should all be punished.

I'd like to see a source for that. I suspect if he actually said that Google would know about it.
