One bug (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=237623) is that, in an unstable network, sometime download will fail silently on half way. Firefox will not check file size and just think it has finished, so you have to do your own checking to make sure file is indeed complete. This bug has been there since 2004, and still not resolved. I remember quite a few other bugs which was also reported years ago and never was resolved.
My engineering friend did a final year project on that. Having some plants (I forgot what kind, but they are all grass tall) will be much better. I remember there is an optimal height for plant to be able to lock moisture, and the leaves must be able to cover the soil. Of course you have to water them. This way not only are you dissipating heat, you also reduce greenhouse gas.
Google Calc stopped supporting IE6 for a while now, but my college can still access it to fill in informations. So there is no need to panic, most stuff should still work for a while.
Google Translate was abused several times in Taiwan. The most famous one was during the Asia Games, when one Taiwanese player got disqualified due to the already examined equipment. People used the translation suggestion link to submit false translations. When translating 'Koreans are ****' in Chinese to Korean and back it becomes "Actually we won".
Not sure about Linux, but in Windows Command Prompt I can't copy & paste conveniently. I have to right click the mouse to select 'paste'. And when I want to copy, I need to right click and select 'mark' and then mark the areas, then press Enter. I wonder if I missed something obvious, because if there is some hot keys I can save a lot of time.
The show first starts with a slice-of-life story and some philosophical discussion about life in space. It however will gradually have more actions in the latter half. So skip the fillers (Ninja on Moon) and watch a few more episodes.
I've heard a similar small test before. I remember it goes like this: give the kids a candy each, then tell them if they can keep it for another hour, they get to get a second one. I am sure I would keep it, since I don't like candies.
And an individual is also working on HTML6: http://xahlee.org/comp/html6.html It's a mix of JSON and SXML: The author also explains why unicode characters are used instead of the xml angle brackets. It's quite funny, a must read.
Apparently there is a fork of Firefox called http://www.palemoon.org/ . They think the Windows build is not optimized thus slower than Linux versions, and they basically do a specific build of the code to make it faster. Oh no what will happen when this is combined with Windows Hardware acceleration!
(was going to show an example but couldn't figure out how to enter an Unicode character in \.) Well if this escaping character is displayed but is never printed, there is no need to escape itself. And if two languages implement the same logic to treat this escaping character, there is no need to re-escape it. At the same time, they can still use the old \n \t too.
though this is just a programmer's dream, I always wished that we have a character solely for the purpose of escaping other characters. This will have a few benefits: 1. You won't need to escape this escape-character. 2. makes it easier for different languages to use the same way to escape stuffs. I won't need to worry about this string that gets escaped in SQL, ASP then JavaScript. 3. Having a new escaping character shouldn't impact the old code. It just gives the user another option.
Apparently this happened to Taipei 101 too. Its public relations section claims any advertisement using the building's iconic image need to pay a fee for it. Post card publisher and different real state agencies were sent legal notices in the past.

In Germany there is this town which has the long tradition of turning into Chinese during the week of carnival:

Would they sell the special chewing gum and soda drinks which are currently only available inside Google?
Or like Inception: It will be really hard to go to the 3rd layer to do something, as one click takes months to respond.

Coding Horror recently posted an article about the current voice recognition technology.

There is a poem which got transcribed, and the title became like this:
"a poem by Mike Bliss --> a poem by like myth"
The rest of the poem is equally funny. So basically you better transcribe it manually.
