Hear, hear. Google's 'designers' are assholes of the highest order. As you say - they will FORCE this shit on us tomorrow, precisely because MOST of us turn it off and don't want their crap - and hence the 'designers' will be out of a job, unless they FORCE this bullshit on everybody. Unbelievable.
Software isn't the only thing Australians pay through the nose for - digital or physical books, music and movies, electronics and clothing all spring immediately to mind. Unfortunately seems to be a matter of charging what the market will bear.
The Earth and its economy would simply shut down if it wasn't for existing infrastructure in space and for existing applications of commercial spaceflight
Uh, I'd like to see you support that wild assertion with some pretty solid facts please!
Good catch on the typo - I did of course mean not specifically evolve. And I agree, those wasteful gluttons could well exhaust their natural resources early, thus prematurely ending an otherwise successful ecosystem....wait a minute!
That's only half the story though. Individual mutations that lead to more successful traits make that particular organism more likely to survive, procreate and pass on the successful trait, thus changing the species over time. So while they would specifically mutate to more efficiently eat the whale, those that mutated to be more efficient consumers ouwld survive better, and so - evolution.
make him go some place in the library where others don't have to see it.
Julie Howe, the lady in question, asked the man to move, and then asked the librarian to intervene. If you read TFA, there is an image of the terminals in Seattle Public Library, and there are a lot of them. So - if she didn't want to be subjected to the porn this guy was watching, why didn't she just move?
Actually, Westpac (also in Australia) have come up with a pretty simple solution. The card reader slot is made out of translucent green plastic, with a holographic padlock etched into it. Not impossible to fake of course, but less than trivial.

Can I have your drugs?
Dunno - got any Bitcoins to pay for them with?
I currently reside in Australia - there is a Marmite available, but it's not the Marmite!
Marmite (or 'Our Mate', as it's branded in Australia) FTW!

Would you like me to call you a waambulance?

I'm really starting to grow weary of PDF.
What does 'PDF' stand for anyways? 'Pedo file'?
PDF: Please Don't Fuckup.
PDF-A: Please Don't Fuckup Again
Those aren't screen shots, they're concept art. World of difference.
The negative reaction is when people think they can just "pick it up" and probably in a few months start cashing some pay cheques.
To be fair, he has stated that he would like to gradually retrain with a view to landing an IT role in 4 years.
I assume you mean 'pew-pew', unless you are, for some reason, particularly relieved at the successful testing of this laser...

Oh well done - you got the joke.

That's 300,000...
When OSIX is finally released we will see how that upgrade goes.
They're going to regress one full version?

Because it's not in our nature to do so.
In the long term, simply to survive.
Crawl back under your rock Paul.
You could also setup some sort of moving tables to alternate what craps get light on any particular day
Personally I don't care to let any of my craps see the light of day...
Riiight. Ever seen an iPhone3 running iOS4? I have, and boy does it suck.
Nah. Just click on a link, such as the privacy statement on the "sign up" page, and then click home.
Sounds pretty convoluted to me.
In Chicago, they call that "bringing a knife to a gun fight."
I once took my wife to a bun fight, does that count?
underwear bulging and smelling worse than you ever did while living
You must not have met my granny.
