This "constant updating of results as you type" makes my Hotel dialup connection run even MORE slowly than it did before.
Even on high-speed DSL, it slows things down. Why can't these web developers get into their heads that not everyone has a 1 megabit pipe? (Or if it is available, don't want to spend ~$60/month to get it.) I remember one of the things taught developed in the 90s and early 2000s was to "optimize" their pages to use as few kilobytes as possible - like squeezing GIFs down from 50 to 10KB. Apparently that paradigm got thrown out the window.
The paradigm of catering to the slowest and oldest has been replaced by pioneering new ground while at the same time including easy ways to turn off the extra features. If you would calm down for five seconds maybe you would see the link "Instant Search is On" with a dropdown menu to turn it off.
I appreciate that Google is trying to idiot-proof email but it'd probably be a simpler task to train people...
Are you serious? I'd take a complex sort algorithm over trusting the people who email me in a heartbeat! I've been begging a client of mine to stop marking his emails urgent for half a decade. Give it up man! Flagging your emails and using a lot of exclamation marks does not make you important!
On average we get attacked between 7000 and 9000 times per second
If they get attacked that often, it shouldn't take long for them to find and confirm security holes in Windows. Yet they have been noticeably slow in patching some of those holes; why don't they respond quicker?
In what possible way does an attack across the internet at Microsoft.com translate to exposing a flaw in the Windows operating system? That's like saying submitting an angry letter to the editor of your newspaper exposes the fact that one of the side windows on your house doesn't close properly.
So Facebook has become a Scooby Doo villain? How many stories have we seen recently that go "Plan X worked perfectly until someone bragged about it / posted pics on Facebook."?
Protip: It is near impossible to change people's political ideologies, and it is completely impossible to change the ideology of people when you insult them.
But I don't want to step over your point, which is accurate. The conservative's main voter base (blue-collar, working class, middle-americans) are the ones hurt the most by Republican policy. And yet they vote for the same policies time after time out of a belief that liberal politicians are immoral, or anti-jesus, or hate families or something.
Wow. I'm used to article summaries that have opinion or conjecture thrown in, but the only "information" in the summary here is the friggin title! Cmdr Taco I am disappointed.
Doesn't most of it just get released back into the atmosphere? Sure, it's not contained underground or anything, but it's not REALLY "disappearing", exactly.
That's the problem. Helium collects in underground deposits and we drill down and collect it as it escapes. When helium dissipates into the atmosphere it is essentially gone to us.
Fry: Well sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio, and in magazines, and movies, and at ball games... and on buses and milk cartons and t-shirts, and bananas and written on the sky. But not in dreams, no siree.
I completely agree that POTUS is off his rocker with this latest linux distro and there is nothing wrong with the metric system! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to finish porting NES ROMS to a Timex watch running OpenBSD. Cue Apple fanboys in 3......2.......1......
Here's the thing guys: Basic classroom evolution is a model for how species grow and change over time. NOT, I repeat, NOT how the first life on Earth came into existence. You can believe whatever and however you want about the origins of life but evolution is a genuine process that has literally been observed in a laboratory.
Creationists: if you feel threatened, please move your fight to the origins of the universe, but as your name implies, your theory has nothing to add after the moment of creation.
Right. And even if my account is deleted you could still find traces of me in my friends' pictures, old posts, etc. I imagine the delete account button will just stop gathering new data about you.
anything that will impress Google's algorithms and draw readers their way
This is why headlines have become so outrageously hyperbolic. Few would click a link labeled Obama gives a speech But a headline like Obama STABS Republicans in the HEART with a verbal KNIFE!!!1 and you get a million hits.
Does anyone else have experience with being ordered to kill somebody as part of their IT duties?
I... well, it's complicated.
My boss will routinely design intricate dream levels and then ask me to enter the dreams of a rival and extract corporate secrets. I haven't run in to any legal trouble yet but I do have to watch out for the dreamer's projections. They get very hostile if I take to long in the dream world.
Does this help you? I'm sorry... I'm having a lot of trouble focusing right now...
It really blows my mind that there is such fierce competition between internet browsers. It's rare to see this level of intense drive and innovation for a free product.

Looks like their server has Lo-Fi bandwidth....
This just in: The best way to advertise your university is to offer some batshit-ridiculous course. *sigh*
Now when someone updates their status in the womb or from beyond the grave: then I'll be interested!

Very similar to "The Great Bear" by Simon Patterson

Yeah, it would be way better for Windows users if they could be protected by a massive ego like a certain percentage of people running Linux.
Memory leakage? I respectfully suggest your brain may be leaking memory, as Firefox has been good and stable since the Bush administration.

Yes.... I completely concur with this post being tagged 'Science.' (alt+U0161)
I assumed the gravity special effects were all CG, but it's great to know they were done physically!
