Absolutely. If I can't use it when I'm in a lab at work (electrically noisy racks)... or for that matter a restroom near it... I'm not going to buy into it.
You can't do EVERYTHING in the cloud. The whole idea is so 1974.
I don't think this is what the tool is designed for. If you read the paper, you'll see that all they'd get would be a list of groups that either of your identities were members of.
What this is for is to match identities at different sites. To tell what Facebook account Candidate@LinkedIn is using... you get Candidate@LinkedIn to visit a site (hey, send your resume to http://example.com/5jh332 and it'll go right past HR) and hit him with a Facebook tracer while he's filling out the resume. Now you know that he's PartyGuy@Facebook and you send him a nice rejection letter.
Then I tried MSIE "Microsoft - yuck" for Mac. Well, not only it rendered the pages beatifully (it even did a perfect dithering job in order to simulate 24bit colors in a 15bit display), not only it was much faster but it was really stable. That was the day I realised "man, there _are_ talented people working in Microsoft".
It seemed that in the '90s all the best people at Microsoft were working on the Mac.
Given that it's the rendering engine in the two youngest "major" browsers out there, and how fast they're growing, it's got pretty damn good penetration.
Then relays started propagating... power a relay to turn everything and anything on.This makes for cheaper/smaller switches that can do more things, no problem. But... let us bury said relay, plugs and harness mind you, some place deep under the dash where you can see it but not reach it. Half an hour or more to get to it, a minute or two to change it, then you get to put it back together, desperately trying to do it "right" so you don't get complaints about rattles and squeeks etc...
Oh, Christ yes. I'm not a mechanic, I'm a computer geek. So when the power to my radio went out I decided "OK, I'll just trace the wiring and see where it went wrong."
Like HELL I will. Whoever designed the wiring harness obviously never intended anyone to ever repair it. And I thought the old MicroVAX I was hard to work on, those guys at DEC were pikers compared to the guys at Mazda. Diabolical design.
Even stuff that should be easy like opening up the door panel so I could fix the latch is like that. Yeh, OK, I get you... exposed screws aren't sexy, but at least give me SOME indication where they are...
So much for this comment, posted just yesterday...
Note that even China doesn't build many nuclear reactors. The Chinese aren't exactly ecowarriors, so it can't have anything to do with considerations of safety or waste disposal. Nuclear power is a very cool, very complex technology. It's just very expensive to build.
That was a time when there were no legal downloads of music available at all. All the music you could buy, you had to buy as a physical object... which was a lot more effort than downloading it from iTunes for a buck. You actually had to go to a store and buy a whole album at a time. Sure, you were beginning to be able to buy it online but it was still in album-sized chunks and there was still a wait...
You can't "fully patch" IE because Microsoft has never released a patch that completely turns off the biggest security hole in IE... the tight integration with the desktop and the irreparably flawed "security zones" model.
He was on the record as saying that DRM wouldn't work, and that he had tried to talk the labels out of it, and compromised with the "honor system" quality DRM in iTunes, in [i]2003[/i]. What the labels wanted was more like renting music, with no rights to burn CDs, and with your music becoming unplayable if you stopped your subscription.
Apple dropped DRM because they were able to convince the labels to let them, not because of anything the FSF did.
We organized actions and protests targeting iTunes music DRM outside Apple stores, and under the pressure Steve Jobs dropped DRM on music.
Jobs was on record as opposing DRM on music long before the campaign started. It was the labels that had to be convinced to change, they were the ones responsible, not Apple. Taking credit for something you had no part in does nothing for your credibility and weakens your ability to work effectively in the future.
I remember reading a study about this, about people only paying attention to the news that interested them, and completely ignoring events they don't care about.
Thing is, I read it when I was in college.
In 1980.
I don't think you can blame this one on the Internet.

No good, if you shrink the neutrons they turn into neutrinos and leak out all over the place.
Generating polarized neutron beams in a standard hard disk form factor is probably not practical.
The thief needs to take your finger, too. According to the second link the watch uses a fingerprint reader.
That's when I had to get a cracked copy of Wizardry after the copy protection on the original floppy destroyed it.
I had the guy I got the copy from write it on top of the original gold-labeled floppy. He thought it was a hoot.
It booted faster, too.

If the laws aren't being enforced, then you can't tell if they're unnecessary or not.
EFI is just hardware enabled DRM.
Um, what?
EFI is just a new boot firmware that happens to be closer to the Open Firmware that Apple used in Power PC.
You're thinking about TPM.
Apple doesn't USE TPM. There's no TPM chip in most Macs.

Given the way they would have to track this, I suspect Ubuntu only gets money when you actually USE it.
If you switch the search back to Google, Ubuntu won't get paid.
If you don't, you have to actually use Bing.
What a dilemma.
No, I haven't used it, I don't have an iPhone. Thanks for the info.
If the call itself is made using regular voice minutes, then I can't see why Apple or AT&T would have a complaint.
I would say that's one of the many reasons I don't like flash, but there at least you have to enable it explicitly.
I sure wouldn't have thought letting a website access the microphone was a good idea. Next up... web bugs that really bug you.
