Hey content-restricting countries, wanna be safe? How about just blocking the entire internet? That'll make sure no online information you don't want people to read will be available.
I thought they *really* meant the edge of space, and I thought that was a bit crazy. Then I saw the pictures. I guess they mean the edge of the earth's atmosphere, not actually space.
It had some major design flaws too. In my first playthrough, I went through that initial dungeon and died when I finally exited it because apparently I was already plagued. Nice game start there.
Yeah, if I can't navigate your site because you use drop-down boxes for all navigation, and omitted a "Go" button in favor of script because you don't like how the single extra button clashes with the design of the site, I say screw you.
Well, that's a design issue rather than using scripts or not. A common design rule is that scripts should always be supplemental and not actually make it impossible for people without scripts on from navigating somewhere or access some information on your site. Instead, if they have scripting turned on, it should enhance the user experience, make it easier, etc.
Exceptions are on larger web apps where you just can't get around using JS. But for regular websites, the usage of JS (not to mention technologies like Flash) should be really carefully considered.
To cache the website requires a one-time connection to the website. After that, you'll always be able to reach it offline (unless you delete the cache), so sites you visit commonly are at least available offline at that point. Kind of like using an email client offline, or developing a website on localhost.
So far, all the comments are based on the assumption that this is a malicious app. However, my husbands / wifes property is also my property, therefore I can install whatever I want to spy on him / her.
I am also entitled to send private investigators to investigate his / her extramarital relations, which includes legally taking pictures from a public place into his / her new partner's windows to prove impropriety. I can use this evidence in court to procure a favourable divorce settlement.
So what, exactly, is the problem with this app, Google? My right to legally investigate my partner is being taken away, possibly illegally, if all apps of this type are removed.
It's beyond Google's store's terms of service that users and developers agreed to. If users really want it, the developers of this app are totally free to still offer it outside Google's app service.
Offline HTML5 technology allows (or will soon enough allow) you to visit some of the cached websites offline, most notably GMail and Google Docs. It's not quite a brick at that point.
On XP, not running as admin is hardly an option. Sure, there's a secure account option, but start installing stuff as the admin and it'll probably just be visible for the admin only (unless you mess around with shortcuts, which isn't something an user should have to do).
I'm in an environment where I use both, and I can honestly say that even though the GIMP has some usability issues (ie PS has the same functionality but a bit easier or better), it does actually go a long way in replacing Photoshop.
Flash does more than just video. Though one could argue that SVG and JavaScript are here too for those, these lack a solid, integrated authoring tool (while Flash has one).
Because it contains security issues, just like every other piece of software out there? At least Adobe is aware and fixing. Jobs just got biased because Flash is in the news all the time when yet another bug is found.
a JavaScript error console that tells me about errors
Chrome has this... It also comes with an excellent built-in equivalent to Firebug right alongside it. Ctrl+shift+J for the JS console and firebug-like part, Ctrl+shift+I for just the firebug-like part.

Will Linus Torvalds see the light in 2011?
Oh come on, Linus isn't inside coding all day, every day, you know.

The LibreOffice beta is actually surprisingly stable. It'll definitely allow you to just *view* the documents without crashes, at the very least.
(Personal experience: some freezes occur when you do some specific stuff, like with tables, but it always gets out of the freezes.)
Seriously? With a name like that, who would use it? Besides the "secret devs", I mean.
It had some major design flaws too. In my first playthrough, I went through that initial dungeon and died when I finally exited it because apparently I was already plagued. Nice game start there.
Since Chrome and Chromium are displaying the same kind of thing in the about window, I'm sure they do the same for their other open source products.
The mods = us.
Isn't JS JIT-compiled already? That's pretty damn close to native speeds, if I have to believe browser developers.

This. I like the flexibility, but I do not like having to waste an entire day tweaking the system until it actually works.
Sorry, Real Life uses 512-bit memory addresses.

So someone who isn't any of these doesn't use any OS whatsoever?

8.0? 10.1? The versions were 8.04 and 10.10...
But... You're on Slashdot! Only geeks should be reading this! :o
