I think it's a very bad idea to let the government have a hand in financing the publication of scientific research in that way. Remember: articles have to be accessable for many decades. If the government suddenly decides they need two or three extra flying pigs, the money stream to the 'science servers' dries up, giving rise to all sorts of problems. And what is a government suddenly decides to have a say in what is published there? No, scientific publishing is better left to commercial organisations. With some regulation of course to prevent exorbitant fees.
Amazing how a piece of software made by a company that has as its goal to gather as much knowledge about you and the rest of the world has become so popular in such a short time.
Yay for Mozilla. At least they don't gather your data.
I watched the video too. Not sure if it's gay, but you must have a purse or very big pockets to carry that thing around in. Furthermore it's clumsier than a normal iPad and the screen moves when you touch it. Sorry guys, but it's back to the drawing board for you.
Already in the 19th century a distinction was made between people who would not work and people who could not work; the deserving and the undeserving poor. Read Mayhew's brilliant London Labour and the London Poor.
It's not insanely stupid. Young people just can not fathom that there was a time not long ago that there weren't any computers in houses.
I spent my youth in the 1970s and I remember that my dad brought the first calculator I saw with him from work. That was the first digital device we had in the house. The next one was our colour TV with Teletext, 10 years or so later. two years later we got our Commodore 64.

Hey, I'm just keeping up the tradition here! :)
The URL is often the only way to recognize phishing sites. If the URL disappears, how do we then recognize them?
Is this aing in avoiding arrest, or obstructing an investigation?

Exactly this. Throwing yourself at a problem unprepared usually is a recipe for a bad solution.

Exactly. Google is a company. They are not required to to be neutral.
Something, not some.
Not only Western civilizations did that. Suppressing others is some humans do, unfortunately.
Their Chromebooks and Chromecasts still fly off the shelves.
But they would die out even if they did support Linux.
Nothing has changed since the 1990s. 'Linux' is still a church that keeps splitting after every difference of opinion.
So I'm not allowed to tell people why I like certain things? That's ridiculous.
I don't care what other people think about me and I don't care what they use either. Why do you care what I think?
Yes. I let them judge the safety of my apps because they know more about that than I do and I have better things to do.

This is why I love Apple and pay premium prices for their stuff. They care about their customers.
All the TVs I owned also had schematics on separate sheets of paper added to the manual. Very handy!
You're not from around here I guess.
You forgot all the gold that will be in there.

We too. And later we had the family C=64, which was mostly occupied by me.
The standard should be called SB instead of USB then because Universal is thrown out the window.
For me it worked. At least MS can do full screen video on the iPad, unlike Google with their terribly broken YouTube website.
