Google has been using internal redirect URLs to track clicks since day one. You usually don't notice them since they only get used on a low percentage of result pages. Nowadays with the javascripted completion and instant search it is less of a necessity for them but it's still around.
Why is it even possible in this day to make it through a border crossing with a fraudulent visa? It would be cheap insurance to develop visa documentation with a matrix code that can be verified in a central database to weed out the frauds when they first land in the US. It's amazing that the US can track its own citizens better than the aliens it brings in from outside.
How easy is it for a government official to get away with erasing documents of this nature?
Do what Bush did and arrange for a conversion from Lotus to Exchange or vice versa and let the inconvenient bits get dropped on the floor in the process.
Overuse of Febreeze can damage cotton fabrics. The best approach with sports equipment is to use 91% alcohol in a spray bottle after every use. That will kill of most of the offensive odor.
I'm seeing less spam than a few years ago when link farms and Wikipedia clones were showing up everywhere on the top results pages. This smells like Microsoft funded FUD.
The ability to handle Jeopardy's style of word play is very impressive. I have to wonder if Watson can handle it in all the varieties that is is used on the show and whether the categories are cherry picked to match its abilities. Ideally the writers won't know that their answers are going to be used for the big game and the categories will be picked at random from a pool (minus audio and video clues).
He should have his visa (or green card) revoked. If there is any clearer cause for someone to be declared persona non grata I don't know what it would be.
They should have added nullptr 20 years ago. It's always amusing to read about C++'s design for type safety when we've been forced to sling around magic '0' literals all this time because someone got their panties in a bunch over automatic casting of void*.
While GSM is flawed, this argument doesn't apply much anymore. 3G data is transmitted via W-CDMA. The fallback to TDMA only happens when 3G service isn't available. AT&T's problems with the iPhone have largely to do with their incompetence and overselling a network poorly suited for high bandwidth data in urban areas.
We don't know how valuable all the information they've collected on users will turn out to be in terms of actually increasing the effectiveness of advertising. We know that it is desireable to marketers at the moment, but marketing trends change.
There are companies whose sole purpose is to collect detailed personal records on consumers for marketing purposes. They existed before the web was invented.
One company I know of would send phone books to Asia for transcription so they could have a national database of names, addresses, and phone numbers. They buy sales data from retailers and work out how to match up names from credit/debit or loyalty cards with a specific residence. They can then sell geo-targeted name lists to marketers. The data is analyzed to do things like figure out womens' menstrual cycles, track what they are most likely to purchase at various points in the cycle, and send targeted advertising at just the right time.
The new kids on the block, Google, Facebook, and others, just found a new way to play a very old game. It's not going to become unfashionable anytime soon.
The cables are probably included in the encrypted "insurance" file that WL has already released. Assange isn't the only one with the key. If things get ugly it will pop up on the net.
In most cultures where male centric polygamy is the norm, it is practiced primarily because it is the only easy means for men to have multiple sexual partners without running afoul of draconian religious tenets. Repressive religions tend to put a blanket ban on alcohol and drug use as well. The correlation only stems indirectly from the mutual association with a religion and is not a causal effect.
The housing of a pool light is normally grounded. If it is connected to an active circuit the pool becomes a death trap if someone in the water grounds themselves through another conductor.

Agreed. A more appropriate slur would be a Pakled allusion.
it's simply not worth the premium over all of the other Japanese steakhouse options.
Or even options that serve real Japanese food.
You'll never observe light that is traveling away from you.

Not to be missed is the time lapse video of the process of creating the video which was as fascinating as the model itself.

Overwhelmed? They really must try to come up with better BS than that. Even princess half-term can spout off more believable nonsense.
I wonder if I can sue them under the Americans with Disabilities act...
How much are you paying them for their services? I would expect the damages to be a hefty multiple of that.
What would be the point. It isn't enforceable and even if laws were passed, you can circumvent it by tracking from an offshore server.

We don't want to have legions of unemployed tech workers that could run of and share their knowledge with first world paradises like Russia or China.
I seem to be missing the display part of this supposed LCD.

Clearly the plate owner is making an allusion to Swift's "A Modest Proposal". Only a sick sociopath would associate such imagery with sodomy.

How about 18 years ago when it was called a Newton. Seriously. WTF? Do you need Slashdot to tell you when to wipe your ass too?

For once the GNAA troll would be on topic on /.
