Sadly, science museums have devolved into environmentalism and global warming preaching which by comparison is about as much fun as watching the organic, free-range, fair-trade grass grow.
Damn liberal scientists, always trying to save the world. Better to send your kids to a good conservative museum.
$800,000 isn't even all that much, when you're talking about executive pay. That's probably less than 10 times what an engineer at ICANN would make. In contrast, the average CEO made 380 times what the average worker made in 2011.
That sounds like a great reason not to use HTML for games. Use HyperText Mark Up language to mark up hypertext. Use PyGame or something else if you want a cross platform game interpreter. Both your browsing experience and your gaming experience will be improved if you keep them seperate.
Good god yes! Just because I click through to a video doesn't mean I want to watch it immediately. I often middle click through half a dozen links to open them in new tabs, and then watch them one after another.
This is why I keep youtube blocked in noscript, to enforce click to play.
Sound in web pages has been an abomination since the moment it was introduced. I never want to have to go searching through dozens of tabs looking for the one website that thinks its so important that it needs to blare audio at me. Anything that plays audio without the explicit consent of the user is incredibly impolite.
Google logs all IP addresses initially but after nine months zeros the bottom octet to anonymize them
That's not much privacy. If I watch your browsing habits for 9 months, I bet I could put together a signature that would let me identify your browing from a group of 256 random individuals.
You think the US government couldn't buy the source to QNX, find an exploit, and embed that in a trojan that they convince someone to sneakernet across the air gap?
Which is only what Google tells you. You don't think they're tracking you by IP address too? You don't think they're using browser fingerprinting? Google's cookie is one tiny part of the problem.
This is a great idea, completely ineffective if the kid has even the slightest motivation or curiosity. Reward tinkering with sexual material, that's the way it should be.
Most people here hold your view (as I did) until they have little ones to protect
Yep, people go crazy when they have kids and no longer listen to reason. This is why "think of the children" is the root password to the constitution. Honestly, it's so disruptive that we really shouldn't even let parents vote. Overreactive parents are responsible for a great many evils in our country, from censorship to the war on drug users.
Has your state trooper brother ever let a speeding off duty cop go because of "professional courtesy"? If so, then he's a corrupt cop. If they do it for speeding tickets, why not assault?
I happen to be an white male adult, so I get by without a lot of hassle from police. But around here, police auditors get fired for doing their job. And police officers flagrantly break the law without even getting charged for it. And internal review boards are held in secret where no one can witness the whitewashing.
Forgive me if that doesn't inspire confidence in our ability to hold police accountable for their crimes.
That's why they have the Blue Wall of Silence. Any good cop who turns in a bad cop will find himself outcast and unable to rely on backup when needed. So cops cover for each others criminal activities, and we are unable to get any actual statistics as to law breaking by law enforcement.
Take it from someone who has actual experience as a law enforcement officer(me), probable cause must exist to effect a legal arrest.
In theory, yes. In practice, it's trivial for the cop to make up probable cause, such as assaulting the officers boot with your face. And if the dash cam doesn't support that charge, oops we lost the footage!
You're expecting the legal system to act logically. The job of the courts isn't to come to the correct and fair conclusion. The job of the courts is to uphold state power.
What actually happens in these cases is that the cop makes up a charge to put on his arrest report. Usually "disorderly conduct" for which he can arrest you. Whether you're actually guilty of that or not doesn't matter, he can arrest you and fingerprint you (and strip search you). He forwards that to the DA, who decides not to file charges.
Sure, you can try to sue if you want. But good luck proving that the arrest wasn't made in good faith. And the worst the officer will see is some paid time off.

I don't see the problem. The DS is still bigger than an SNES pad. Works fine in my western european man hands.

On a site with sound or music files, playing samples without needing an external plugin/player is useful.
Why doesn't the OS provide an audio player? What's wrong with using it?
The whole crusade against flash is just the new generation rebelling the old one
Sorry, but I've been waging a crusade against flash since the 90s. It has never been a good solution for anything.
Why would I go to the theatre to see a good movie? I'll watch a good movie at home in comfort. I go to the theatre to see something spectacular.

No, live tracking the CEO of Google because Google is pushing live tracking of employees.

What I don't understand is why we need multiple speakers when we only have two ears.

Regardless of the technical problems, the root cause of this seems to be management......
Management always gets the credit when things go well. They should always get the blame when things go wrong.

Apple is antitrust-proof because they don't control upwards of ninety percent of a market like MS do with desktop OSs.
Apple and Microsoft are both anti-trust proof because they both pay the dane-geld.
It's not designed or intended to ever need to run new code!
Then attack the system that programs these systems.

As far as I know

There are real people behind those posts now?
