    So you find it amusing that different people have different views? Isn't that completely normal?

    Mutilate what? They just nip the tip to make it look bigger

    What do you think mutilate means?

  7. Re:My phone is getting slower and slower - you? on Apple Handcuffs Web Apps On iPhone Home Screen · · Score: 1

    No, it is not possible. Each restore has to be signed by Apple before the phone will accept it, and they only sign the latest version. You can use a program called TinyUmbrella to store the signature and later go back to an old version (or if your phone has ever been jailbroken it might be stored on the Cydia servers). But if you don't have this info stored, there is no way to go back.

  8. Re:Great...what if you're without your phone? on Google Adds Two-Factor Authentication To Gmail · · Score: 1

    It also gives you a set of 10 one-time use codes that can be used instead of your phone. You can carry a couple in your wallet, or memorize one of them in case of emergency.

    Why would a web server respond with a GET request?

    No, the french r is completely different, nothing like how english-speaking people pronounce it.

  12. Re:Tried to mistype both, on Auto Incorrect · · Score: 2

    I think the autocorrect learns from what you type, so they may still be genuine, although I don't doubt many are fake.

    It depends on the Canton. I believe in some Cantons the very rich can negotiate a "lump sum" that does not depend on their income.

    really? apart from the egregious mistake of not including a backtick on anything but one obscure email keyboard

    Hold down the apostrophe key for a second or two, it pops up a number of different quotes, including the backtick.

    I've heard about this new invention, it lets you continue sleeping even when it is light outside, I think it is called curtains or something.

  17. Re:Alternative ways to develop? on Kodachrome Takes Its Final Bow Today · · Score: 1

    Ahh OK, I think what confused me is that EM radiation outside the visible is not generally called light (except maybe UV and IR).

  18. Re:Alternative ways to develop? on Kodachrome Takes Its Final Bow Today · · Score: 1

    Since your light is going to have to be colorless, since it can't affect the silver halide crystals,

    What is colorless light? White (but wouldn't that affect the film)? Black (wouldn't that just be no light)? Something else?

  19. Re:How long does it take... on The French Government Can Now Censor the Internet · · Score: 1

    Probably just as soon as the list is on Wikileaks.

  20. Re:server-side tracking on Microsoft Adds 'Do Not Track' Option For IE9 · · Score: 1

    The question is do people really want the lack of personalization that anonymity implies.

    Turn on anonymity and get google in a random language, based on the country of the proxy server you are connecting to google from

    This really annoys me. I work in Swtzerland, so websites often send me to a German language (which I don't speak) version. Usually (but not always) there is a link somewhere to a French and/or English version, but often I have to jump through hoops to get a version I can read, even though my browser specifically asked for the English one.

    It had been a long summer with lots of sunburn, so I wanted to avoid radiation from the scanner

    What does having sunburn have to do with radiation from the scanner? I would have thought if anything the scanner would be preferable, to avoid someone touching the sore skin.
