Most people don't have the knowledge to assess by themselves if a product fits their expectation. Not only for food, any product needs a thoughtful advice/label from an independent and competent / national team to guide customers. What difference does it make for a customer who reads for the first time "chicken raised outdoors" and "chicken from battery cages"? The answer is here, and it's a big long, but a summary on a sticker would help customers to chose more wisely - and that would dramatically improve competition between very-low quality products sold 0.9 X against a much better product sold X (while the manufacturing cost of a "good" product would be twice the cost of a "bad" product). People tend to chose the cheapest one, by lack of information.
1 nanosecond..., honestly, that's typically British. In the US that battery would have been trashed already. The Brits are way too much attached to these long lasting historical figures. And royalty is another example.
Creating a PDF sounds very static. How do you generate dynamic pages? Even a small change like displaying the time would require a new PDF generation. While it's doble to automatically generate PDFs on the fly, doing so for all clients is likely to be a slow, resource eater process. Even for static pages, some browsers/configurations do save the PDF as a file / download, or open the doc in a separate tab/window. Pretty inconvenient for the end user.
Using a framework would really make sense for the client side, imo - ie CSS, Javascript, HTML, to cope with browsers differences and other language peculiarities, the result is usually immediately visible, tangible. The server side otoh may require more attention to detail if data from client is checked / analyzed / processed / stored - leaving that responsability to a framework will likely produce a lot of spaghetti code doing only approximately what you want, and any manual maintenance (ie modify the resulting code directly) is hard and cut the consistency links with the FM.
Well you can click on "Score" and get a fair distribution of what's the comment actual score. Yours for instance is (currently) 50% Interesting 30% Underrated 20% Funny. So you're quite interesting, with some funny moments as well.
Sorry but this site is crap. Even Google Translate does a good job translating "j'ai compris" into "I understood". Tu parles français couramment mon ami??
Why's that? Not interested in Linux, or in Linus? Isn't it important to emphasize that the most important part of Linux, the kernel, is powerful and reliable? Among the open source projects, how many do have that level of complexity whilst still being top notch? If it wasn't for Linus Torvalds where would be Linux now? The guy is not playing the "nice" card, but at least he delivers. Big time. Seriously, many open source projects do need a Linus-like management. Without a strong kernel Linux would not exist. But what makes the difference with other OSes, for most users, is the interface, the tools, the media, picture, camera... software, and in this department there is a lot of messy, unreliable, ugly and counter intuitive stuff. So, all in all I'm glad the subject is back from time to time to remind us why Linux has always been a professional-grade OS.
Google has always been into complex algorithms, AI, biology research... Neural nets need access to a lot of "knowledge" to learn, and Google has a lot of that. Not only the websites contents, but also how we humans search and browse, mail and answer to a mail, talk etc... - i.e. how we behave using our brain. That gigantic chunk of data would be however useless if it wasn't for Google talents. Google [only] is certainly able to come out with something amazing - fortunately, or unfortunately...

Hmmm that's exactly the year of Breaking Bad TV show debut...

Oh, I assumed it was DNA as in GMO... but it's just DNA... that makes a lot of food!
Ok, but its light is not 1 nanolux, is it? This is the 1 nanoamp, that's ridiculous to keep that thing alive while it's clearly dead.
*nanoAmp...

At least FF has been available as OS from the start and is not a proprietary build from a company that has been well off for a long time.
That's a lot of spaghetti code in Internet Explorer. I don't think the open source community has enough programmers to unravel that mess.
Yes, but we need a good laugh sometimes, especially if they include IE6 in the OS package...

Actually, it's "I have understood" (j'ai compris)
Beginner's mistake... Actually "j'ai compris" is "I understood".
Lighter, thinner, longer time (battery), nicer... Boot on Linux for some work, boot on Mac for the rest.

Could be. Seems like stackoverflow was defaced as well.
Solution for spammers: they should try to format their mail as terrorist threats.
iPad / iPhone. Their accessibility support is top-notch, and you can walk into an Apple store and ask an employee to walk you through it all.
IPAD / IPHONE . THEIR ACCESSIBILITY IS TOP-NOTCH
