Same with Chrome. If you pay attention to the GET variables when you do a search in Chrome (via the addressbar), Chrome sends both the actual query (first few letters you typed), and the one that you chose by clicking on it in the subsequent dropdown.
But what are you using now? I tell myself I want to start using http://search.yahoo.com/ more, but I keep plugging queries into the addressbar/searchbox in Chrome going to Google.
Better than having a few passwords is having a different password for every single site. Totally random, with numbers and upper/lowercase. Stick them all in a text file (protected in some way).
Press (from Latin pressare -> French presser) first means "to press" or a device that presses. These are the basic meanings. Hence printing press (which presses). Only later is it extended to mean an abstract category of people.
There is a word (or words) for describing a person or persons from an aspect of their paraphernalia (but I can't remember it at the moment). Suit means a suit of clothes; it has also come to mean people who wear them (the upper class/managers). Washington is the name of a city; it is also used to mean "US government". However, as pointed out in a different post, this usage for journalists only came about in the 20th century.
It's true that there's a "the" there, but still doesn't necessarily make it a reference to a group of people. We say "the" rain. "Two in the hand" means "two in one's hand". "Handy with the stick" doesn't mean handy with (one, singular) stick; it means handy with one's own stick. "Freedom of the press" means "freedom of one's own press (printing device)".
When people talk of the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the ammo box, they're not talking about singular items (the ballot box), but rather the ability to use those items. Similarly, freedom of "the press" == freedom to use a press.
The usage in "power of the purse" is identical to that of "freedom of the press". However, while only Congress has power of the purse, everyone has freedom of the press.
Here's why it matters: under your interpretation, the fullness of the 1st amendment is only granted to a special class. Many people think that's a bad idea. Under mine, every one has the right of the press.
The Constitution doesn't mention "journalists". It references freedom of the press:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press;...
A press is a device for duplicating written matter. So the Constitution is recognizing the right to publish using presses (as opposed to speaking with your voice). Time passes. Huge presses are reduced to small laser printers.
More time passes. A worldwide network for electronic publishing emerges. Anybody who cares about limits of government would say the Congress does not have the power to limit the ability to use presses (electronic or otherwise).
And the right of the press isn't limited to any one specially-favored group that calls itself "the" press.
And's that's something I don't understand. Why should payments in Country X be subject both to X's laws and the US's laws? Why should Visa/MC have to have a cut of every single transaction on the Earth? Especially domestic?
Denmark (and Russia, etc.) should simply pass a law mandating banks to hand out free debit cards working on an in-country basis outside of Visa/MC.
And, sorry, but 2 or 3% is simply too much for totally automated, computerized Internet purchases. They already hold vendors' money for 180 days in case of chargebacks. So, it's basically monopoly rents.
Wait, are you saying if a Danish customer buys something from a Danish (non-exporting) firm, the money is first converted from Kroners to USD and then back?
>It would seem Ctrl-C, Ctrl-X, and Ctrl-V (or Cmd on a Mac) would be easier and have the keys closer together
Actually, have another look: When using the Mac shortcuts (Ctrl+V), you're stretching your fingers horizontally (pinky on Ctrl and index on V).
Doing the equivalent for CUA shortcuts (Shift+Ins) with thumb on Shift and index on Ins, you're not stretching at all. Put your thumb on Shift, and the index finger naturally falls on Ins.
Here's another datapoint: I'm right-handed, but every year or so, I switch the handedness of my mouse. I.e., I put it to the right of the numpad one year, and to the left of capslock the other (also switching left/right in mouse options).
Try it sometime.
My main reason for doing so was to avoid repetitive stress clicking with the right hand. But there are other benefits, too: Most keyboards have the centerline (between homekeys F and J) offset to the left because of the navkeys and numpad. Put the mouse on the right, and it's a perversely far reach for mousing.
By putting the mouse on the left, you move the centerline back to the actual center of your keyboard tray.
It's also nice for general web usage: you have your left hand on the mouse, right hand on the PageUp/Down and arrow keys, and Ctrl is under your thumb, so you can Ctrl+click Reply on whatever comments you want to respond to in a new tab. Compare with right-side mouse: your right hand shifts between navkeys and the mouse.
I haven't looked at the entire history of Nobel peace prizes, but I wouldn't be surprised to find significant fillips to Western policy or thought.
The whole Wikileaks thing brings this into focus. The Nobel prize went to Liu Xiaobo, accused by China of inciting subversion. Meanwhile, does anyone thing Julian Assange will get a Nobel, he being accused of inciting theft of words?
I'm not saying Liu is in the wrong, just that what's good for the goose is definitely good for the gander. In fact, if China really wanted to tweak the west, they would give Confucius prizes to Assange, then in turn to -various American Indian leaders -descendants of American slaves (rules out Obama) -Inuit -Sami (indigenous Nordics) -Roma (gypsies) -Northern Irish and IRA -Gaelics -Welsh -Basque -Parti Quebecois -etc
Well, but isn't there room for both models? Isn't it OK for China to have Confucianism and filial piety and the US can have creative destruction and individualism?
As long as both sides don't try to engage in regime change because country X isn't democratic enough or conservative enough, there shouldn't need to be a conflict.
As for anything more than a cold, if you've been in an accident and lost control of your arms, you probably have bigger problems than counting sick days.

Shorter version: The problem is, as Vice President of "Search Experience", Marissa Mayer is constantly having to justify her job, hence Google bloats.

True that.

Wilikeaks' providers Bahnhof and Datacell of Sweden and Iceland are probably best for controversial content:

Anybody want to comment on how much better or worse Amazon and Rackspace or others are?
Where are the servers located? Their own in Germany? Or reselling US-based?
Also, does Banu or Mukund require enough resources to warrant your own server, as opposed to shared hosting?
You were good till you called them a parasite on the network.
Are customers obligated to pay money all the while fearing to actually use what the parties agreed on?
Speaking of opt-out, does anybody know what happened to Junkbusters? They use to have an open source proxy, as well as other anti-tracking tools.

Maybe I'm missing something, but how do you purposefully break a condom (while using it)?
