Facebook's most recent round of funding was led by a company called Greylock Venture Capital, who put in the sum of $27.5m. One of Greylock's senior partners is called Howard Cox, another former chairman of the NVCA, who is also on the board of In-Q-Tel. What's In-Q-Tel? Well, believe it or not (and check out their website), this is the venture-capital wing of the CIA.
However, because of the higher wage level and hence production costs, Western Europe is suffering from deindustrialization and offshoring in the traditional (labour intensive) manufacturing sectors. This means that manufacturing has become less important in Western Europe and that jobs are moved to cheaper regions (mainly China and Eastern Europe).
And I am quite certain the same applies to the usa.
How stupid are you? you're comparing apples and oranges.
with regard to websites we still have a choice to use it or not to use it.
yes - i know - peer pressure can be a bitch.
with regard to politicians... well, it seems to be mostly decided by big money these days. which is why we have protests like "occupy wall street". we, the people, do not have a say anymore into if we want to go to war with a country or not. that is decided by forces beyond our control these days. sadly.
show "http://":

no graying out of url:

chrome: impossible to configure
in chromium/chrome these two settings can only be "configured" by modifying the source code. these are just two settings that I wanted to change in chromium and found out I couldn't.
Don't most people use a computer numpad more than dialing phone numbers?
no - I never use the computer numpad, but I do use the numpad keys on my phone regularly.
but then - I am not "most people".
I wish there was a pc keyboard without the numpad. do you think I could just saw it off? at last I could sit properly centered in front of my monitor instead of skewed over to the left.
Works created after January 1, 1978 will be protected for the life of the composer (author) plus 70 years.
so for example for Paul Mc Cartney's song "London Town" this means that it is currently copyrighted for at least a whopping 103 years. if Paul Mc Cartney lives to be 90 years old, this particular song will be copyright for 124 years.
but then you're just going around in circles - right?
how do you know you can trust the cert of the notary who serves the cert of the notary?
shouldn't trust only be between the user and the actual website? no third party involvement whatsoever. by for example the website posting its fingerprint someplace on its site and the user verifying it.
then the mitm would have to do dpi if it wanted to modify the fingerprint served up by the website. is that likely or not?

use of their equipment might open U.S. infrastructure to espionage
makes one wonder what U.S. equipment (made by cisco, microsoft et.al.), which is used all over the world, can do for U.S. govt agencies.
anybody remember japan in the 1970s?

Sorry, the domain psu.xxx is already taken.
whois psu.xxx
No whois server is known for this kind of object.
I believe this is all just one big money making scheme. ".xxx" doesn't really exist.

you obviously work in one of those low-cost countries then. you lucky ...
Europe - Manufacturing
However, because of the higher wage level and hence production costs, Western Europe is suffering from deindustrialization and offshoring in the traditional (labour intensive) manufacturing sectors. This means that manufacturing has become less important in Western Europe and that jobs are moved to cheaper regions (mainly China and Eastern Europe).
And I am quite certain the same applies to the usa.
it's a desperate move.
europe and usa do not have any manufacturing at all. well - almost next to nothing. most manufacturing has been moved to low-cost countries.
and so - knowledge is all that these companies are left with. they desperately try to hold on to it with patents.
but - they forget one important rule ...
knowledge wants to be free.
we had this gesture already way back when on the Apple ][e.

for crying out loud!
it's their website, they can do with it whatever they damn well please.
and you decided by your own free will to sign up with facebook and you decided by your own free will to give them all your private information.
it's not your website, so you do not get to decide how things work.
if you don't like it - then simply setup your own website and stop using facebook.

thnx for the link.
on page 1 it says:
BEAST is like a cryptographic Trojan horse - an attacker slips a bit of JavaScript into your browser
how does it do that? and more importantly how can I as a user check if this piece of javascript code is running in my browser (firefox).
do you have any further details on this? thnx.
Then who can you trust?
on the internet? ... nobody.
Jensen Harris, director of program management for the Windows Experience. "Every screen needs to be touch. A monitor without touch feels dead."
And I very much agree with the parent poster:
Maybe they expect people to have alot Windex for the Windows Monitors.
does MS provide free bottles of windex with windows 8?
and I am not a fan of touchy smartphone UIs either - very much a keyboard kinda guy.
and u really believe the USA is any better?

is that any better than EU copyright law?
Can you please explain how one can get an Xnest error message without Xnest being installed.
that does not make sense to me.
Xnest is an experimental nested server for X
why is anything related to X running on a server used for source control and such things?
especially because the X server executable is usually setuid root. seems to me that is asking for trouble.
and - why would anybody run experimental software on such an important server.

nobody is forcing you to buy these products. so simply stop it already.
