Firefox (non-Antroid version) does this quite simply. You just set the default to accept no cookies, then temporarily allow cookies and create exceptions ("Allow" or "Allow for session") as needed.
It's kind of like setting up Noscript to manage javascript and flash -- a few days of pain and anguish is required to get everything set up to work with what you need, and then after that it just works.
I wish Firefox Android allowed this too, but it doesn't.
Firefox Android doesn't. You can "clear all private data" but you have no control other than that. You can't refuse them while browsing, and you can't keep cookies that you might actually want if you "clear all", either.
Nobody knows how to make change any more. I don't have electronic tills in my business and I have NEVER hired anyone to work here who knows how to make change. (Count up, don't subtract.) I have had to teach everyone how it's done.
I guess I'm an old coot, because I remember being taught how to do this in school when I was in, maybe, grade three or thereabouts.
Not all digital theatres currently have 48fps capability. In fact, most don't as of right this minute.
Most digital cinema setups can be upgraded to play 48fps by replacing the IMB and upgrading the projector's firmware, which may or may not happen in the future.
Many years ago (when dinosaurs roamed the earth) I was installing a cd rom drive in a computer that didn't have one. This is back when cd roms drives were a new thing and cost a pretty good chunk of change (and so did the computer).
The computer had a drive bay to install this into, but there was a piece of metal that was spot welded over the bay. Lovely.
Since I couldn't pry it off with a screwdriver, I ended up having to use a cold chisel and a hammer to beat that metal cover plate off of the frame. Which did the job but as I was doing it I remember thinking, "Boy, I hope nobody walks in on this little scenario."
Advertising is always obnoxious no matter how subtle it's done.
Really?
I own a small movie theatre and advertise what's playing and what's coming with a webpage and an email mailing list.
People actively seek out and view the webpage hundreds of times per day, and I have a fair number of people who have signed up to receive automatic notifications of what's playing when I have a confirmed booking for a new movie.
I don't think that my advertising is "obnoxious", since it's information that people are actually searching for and obviously want to receive.
Unless I'm looking in the wrong place, it appears that you have to subscribe to their online service or purchase the printed manuals to get "the complete text of the classification schedules". Some sort of a summary is available free on their website (above) but not the whole thing.
Perhaps using it is free (is it really?) but getting the needed data in the first place is not.
but they didn't want the physical book version becase it was 'stuff' that they didn't need.
I am several decades past being a student and haven't moved house in twenty years.
Having said that, I am now firmly in the camp of "I don't want a physical book" too. I keep all of my book on my computers; light recreational reading and research textbooks are both just a click away. And I like it that way.
The Total Recall remake from a couple of months back included something very similar to this -- A phone embedded into your palm; to use it as a video conferencing thing you just put your hand on a sheet of glass (window, windshield, sign, whatever) and the display showed up on that surface.
By its very nature, a "standard" should be free for anyone to implement.
If I can do a better job of implementing a standard than you can, then I win. Until you leapfrog me, of course, and that's what we call innovation and progress!
Computers were unheard-of in school in the mid-70's, at least in the small town where I grew up, but I did take Typing Class where I learned what I believe is the single most valuable skill that school taught me: how to type properly.
When I took Typing Class I was the only boy in a class of about 20-odd girls. I wanted to learn how to type because I thought it would be a useful skill but, frankly, the idea of typing on a computer never actually crossed my mind. I learned to type on a big Underwood manual typewriter. Toward the end of the class that I was in, the school got one electric typewriter, which was apparently a new technology at the time. It was a special reward to be allowed to use the electric typewriter in Typing Class.
In addition to how to type, a skill that I've used every day of my life, Typing Class also taught me a number of other useful things, like how to correctly fold a letter to fit it into an envelope (which a surprising number of people don't know how to do), and how to do basic filing and the like, all of which have come in handy since I have my own small business and need to be able to do things like that.
As for computers, I learned that on my own. I knew some guys that had Apple computers, and I purchased a Commodore 64 of my own in 1982 since it was much cheaper than an Apple II. My thought at that time was that I would buy a C64 and see if I liked having a computer and if so, I would buy a "good one", i.e. an Apple II, afterward. Once I discovered the capabilities of the Commodore 64, I never did buy that Apple. My next purchase after that was a Commodore 128, followed by an Amiga, followed by a series of MS-DOS machines, and today I have several desktops and laptops, all of which run on Linux.
They used to phone me on a semi-regular basis asking for information about my business. I told them that since they wanted my information so they could sell it, I wouldn't provide it to them without payment from them first.
I haven't heard anything from them for the past several years.
I own and operate a single-screen movie theatre in a small town.
I try to start my show within five minutes of the advertised start time (depending on how many people are still in the lobby getting their popcorn and whatnot), and I play between zero and three trailers before the start of the actual movie.
I use FBReader http://www.fbreader.org/ to read ebooks on my computer. Among many other good things (including the price: free) it has a setting to force an ebook to use the font(s) that you choose.

A gstring automatically resizes itself to fit anything that you want to put into it! (Check the documentation for details.)
Incidentally, glib can be used independently from Gnome and the like.
Do yourself a favour and take a look at glib. God's gift to C programming -- the string handling alone is worth its weight in, well, gstrings...

It was an experimental file manager for IRIX named fsn. It was never fully completed, though it did well enough to be featured in Jurassic Park.
You can download a Linux-compatible clone of fsn named fsv here.

According to their webpage, elinks (the best known text mode web browser) was last updated on October 30 of this year. Less than four weeks ago.

You do know what a telephone is? Two way conversation and interaction. Both input and output.

Now that is mighty clever. A bit tasteless, I suppose, but very clever.

So the employment is much larger than the movie and music industries.
And the video game industry is also larger than movies and music.
