Not really related to the story or actually important in any way, but I notice that the next Android is named "Jellybean". I wonder what comes after that. I'm hoping for Koeksister.
Those sort of extensions just provide a convenient way of interacting with Mozilla's mechanism. You get a statusbar icon which changes depending on if the site you're viewing has no cookies, blocked cookies, persistent cookies or session cookies. You can click on the icon to change the default action for that site or domain. It's so much simpler than opening the options and adding exceptions manually.
A nice trick is to set your browser to keep cookies only for the session, clear your cookies and then grab an extension like Cookie Monster or something similar to manage exceptions for the sites where you explicitly want permanent cookies.
You're right. I guess I was arguing more from imagination than anything else - after actually going to the site it's clear who the author is. Copyright infringement is what I should have said in the first place.
It's copyright infringement too, because the article is being republished without permission, but I was commenting more in reaction to this:
PS - The site that stole my work has fine print saying "All rights reserved" on the bottom of their page.... so they steal people's work... and then claim the rights to it. Nice.
So, sorry... but in the eyes of slashdot groupthink, you haven't been harmed. Nothing was taken from you by copying your data; you still have all the data you had, you see.
In the eyes of Slashdot groupthink, Evan is not the victim of data theft. Well, he's not - he's the victim of plagiarism! Which is exactly what evanak complained about in the first place.
These vindictive jabs against "the masses" are getting tiring...
Even if the charges are completely fabricated by someone, anyone (CIA the women in question etc.) it's absurd to think that the UK would refuse extradition to Sweden for something like this.
Oh, it's not extradition for the alleged crimes that has people worried. It's the fact that he was already detained for investigation for a month in Sweden until the case was closed and he was permitted to leave the country. Now they want him back. Are they going to repeat the same process with different prosecutor's until the outcome changes? That's suspicious to the point of being terrifying.
The Compute Working Group will follow proven Khronos processes and invite member contributions as a basis for standardization efforts. Apple has proposed the Open Computing Language (OpenCL) specification to enable any application to tap into the vast gigaflops of GPU and CPU resources through an approachable C-based language.
Of course, "proposed" can mean different things, but it looks like Apple made the first draft.
And "CSS:hover regression when an element's class name is set by Javascript". That's not catastrophic, but it's still quite a bad regression. The update breakage is quite major though - as you point out it would be terrible to become stuck with another legacy browser.
Slashdot Mirror
(they likely need cause, but still)
Like this?
Assuming that there genuinely were hoping to encourage competition to Microsoft products then that result would help them even more with their goal.
How does that work when the Euro is currently worth 25% more than the US Dollar?
Nah, they were obviously just copying Mac OS 10.1.
No, they would just run and cry to their obese parents,
Running means exercise, which is healthy. US wins another round. Your move, Switzerland.

And a time machine to get GCC from 2 years in the future.
Depends on the country, I suppose. In South Africa the S3 has been available for weeks already. Where you you from?

It wouldn't be a problem if the Roundup-Ready crops didn't produce pollen which would fertilise non-sterile seeds.

Nice try, Pope, but I've seen the Hitman trailer - those nuns of yours aren't as harmless as you want us to believe.

Go on...
Humble Bundle apparently has more followers on G+ than Facebook and Twitter combined.
Give them a real alternative (no, G+ doesn't count)
Why not? What's wrong with G+? Is there anything other than Facebook's inertia holding it back?
To be fair, "gifted" is an adjective, not a gerund, so that's not much of a counterexample.
Windows 2000 falls under "NT 5" so the claim still holds :)
Better make that $giant_list_of_random_nonincriminating_URLs just to be safe
