- Buy Slashdot: so that they don't need the extra money that have them publish ad-oriented stories, sometimes
- Pay competent consultants and developers to "help" Gnome, xOffice, and a mega bunch of other OSS projects to get managed efficiently/properly

Company A pays 100 bucks for ads, company B pays 10000 bucks for ads, company B gets results displayed first on similar search terms.Is this illegal?
When you pay an ad on Google, your own result from the search is flagged with a yellow "Ad" mark. That implies if there is no "Ad" mark, that's not supposed to be a Google Ad. Now Google is known for [trying] not to do evil, and people trust the search results coming from an algorithm based on "relevance", and relevance means the results fit best the search terms ; relevance does/should not take into account "paid a bunch to Google". So having the search results not flagged ad "Ad" being arranged based on what money Google got from some companies is certainly not illegal per say, but that's certainly deception.
So these U+20xx have to be removed as well, but why remove the rest? Regarding below 0x20, in UTF-8 these single byte characters are also control characters which were probably filtered out by/. in the first place - that's why the AC used the U+20 chars.
Interesting. And that's a good reason to remove anything below 0x20 (besides \n of course), where the control characters reside. But removing anything else, eg above 0x7F, is not necessary, though.
this site, in 2015, still can't properly display Unicode
I don't think that's really the problem. A web site with UTF-8 encoding does not have much to do to get unicode to be displayed correctly. The site merely just has to let the characters go, any recent browser then displays the codes appropriately. The reason slashdot does not show unicode (first byte above 0x7F) is because the characters are filtered out, either when being recorded within/. database, or during the transmission up to the browsers.
I get it, you're used to Linux, where you need 743 command line commands to do anything
Usually switching from mouse/GUI to a terminal allows you to do exactly precisely what you want in a few commands (and if you need 743 commands, make a shell script, which becomes one command). And you also usually get a level of feedback (errors...) you wouldn't have with the Gui.
Infidelity? "Infidelity" is required in our societies, at some point. After years of union with the same person, isn't that normal to want another body? Isn't that a natural and physical need? Some archaic religious vestiges drive the society not to do it, because that's evil, prohibited ; and people suffer. Nonetheless, the need is there and has to be addressed.
It's what everyone uses for downloading Firefox or Chrome on a new Windows machine.
Not everyone. I use a USB stick on which stands the latest Ubuntu release to add a Linux OS on the machine. This is yet another way to install Firefox, but at least it doesn't depend upon IE.
This bug has been around since IE 7? Wow, this just confirms that MS will only patch bugs once others find them and then they have to work on fixing them.
Most IEs, even the recent ones, suffer from this bug. MS revealing these long standing issues affecting IE... isn't it a good way to promote Edge, the new MS browser not affected by this bug?

Satellites make a difference...
I met a grad student (...) she happened to be beautiful.
Tl;dr
people don't really care.
People would care if they were aware of the security and privacy risks.
Oh, so they're not only doing that for ads, they're also doing that for regular search results?
TFS is not 100% clear about that. Maybe only Google services (favored but not sponsored) ...

Now we need someone to make a Laser-Killing Drone.

If you knew how to use a packet analyser, you could see that for yourself
All of that likely to be encrypted, though
What? they upgraded from win 95 last year.
Should we really compare COBOL devs working on more or less well managed projects, and C devs working on the Linux kernel?
And I really hope Linux will last at least another 24 years (2039: they'll have to fix that 32 bit time since the Epoch, though).

Please don't censor the truth, you liars.
Actually the attacker is of Moroccan origins. (Maroko => Nigeria...)
you do realize not more than 15 years ago you could fly with a weapon in the cabin.
With all the aircraft hijackings happening in the 80's, I doubt in 2000 you could have reached the cabin having a kalashnikov in your handbag.

I'm so sorry to everyone. I've failed you. You believed in me and supported me and trusted me and I've failed you. I've failed me.
Looks like after working a long time with the Japanese, the guy handles guilt the way the Japanese do.
At least, they try.
