Overall market share among the top five dominant browsers remained largely stable through February, according to Net Applications. . . But the main change came with Apple's Safari, after the version 4 beta of the browser was released last week. The beta release helped push Apple's browser market share to 10.91 per cent, or 1.88 per cent more than the same time in the week before its release. Last month, it was 9.04 per cent.
Uhh... No.
Last month, according to above mentioned Net Applications, Safari's share was 7.42%.
Same numbers you will get if you click the link in TFA to see that 10.91% market share. Cause you CAN'T SEE THE WEEKLY REPORT UNLESS YOU PAY.
But, if the above claimed 9.04% is any indication at the accuracy of TFA (compared to the actual 7.42%) - then Safari probably jumped about 0.26%. Or less... or more... who knows. Maybe there were only 5 copies downloaded?
I mean... if you pad your stats by 22% (21.83% - the difference between 7.42% an 9.04%) - who knows what the real numbers are then?
There isn't a step where it helps very much, and inefficiencies soak up a lot of energy. If you use the electric grid and batteries (instead of hydrogen), you can sell a lot more of the energy to the masses.
Coal and oil are FAR more efficient and readily available than both batteries and hydrogen cells.
Point of using hydrogen is not just in efficiency. Batteries are toxic to produce and dispose of - hydrogen is not.
Trade-off lies in the part that it is maybe a little less efficient but it is a LOT cleaner form of portable energy source. And that there is a shitload of it lying around.

If you use p2p file sharing software to steal music and TV shows - terrorists win.

What. The. Hell.
Last summer we got together at my friend's summer house to celebrate the international worker's day (and the resulting 4-day weekend) by spending some time away from the smog and eating large quantities of barbecued meat. We even had some of our friends from Croatia come over. One of them is a photographer for a daily newspaper. He had to juggle-up some free time since he was supposed to be "on the call" that day, but he managed to get a colleague to do that for those couple of days. Still, as he is better with color correction - he had to bring his laptop just in case some photos had to be checked before being sent to print.
Naturally, there is no wireless, DSL, cable or any other kind of dedicated internet connection at the summer house. There is a phone line though.
And you can bet your ass that there WAS an emergency, and that the integrated modem DID come in handy.
Where's that energy coming from? Milking invisible pink unicorns?
Close. Solar, wind, waves, hydro and combinations of all those.
Unless the problem is that someone would have to actually work a little before getting essentially free energy sellable to masses?

Except this s the market, so the push towards a gender will always shift. In some ways it would be better becasue the gender that is needed will be the one people get.
Being that we are living in a patriarchal society - boys are always preferred. Boys continue family line. Boys (still) make more money for the same job. Boys don't get home from a vacation with a "baby on board". Boys can end up in NBA, NFL, NHL and other clubs for boys through the exploitation of gene enhancement. If you are "designing" a baby - it IS going to be a boy.
"Fathers, do you want your son to be an athlete or a genius or both? "
What's wrong with that? in fact, it would do humanity good to get those traits. Sine it is Gene manipulation, it would be passed on.
Again, it would be passed on more effectively by boys. How much pussy did Dolph Lundgren get during his prime? We may never know...
What is wrong with that?
Well... besides your Arian ubermensch son outgunning you in every aspect by the time he is 16 and ensuring that any life lessons you had for him will fall on deaf ears... He will also be competitive (what use is the body for running if you don't like to race), body of a body-builder, "I am smarter than you" - jerk. Cause, he WILL be better, smarter, prettier... and most people will be stupid, ugly midgets to him. Except all his brethren that he will compete with all his life.
Racism will finally be based on some real facts and it will make sense - to him and his Arian ubermensch brothers. See... THEY will be a new, better human race. Seven-foot, body-builders that excel in academic work (if their parents were able to afford strength, agility, beauty AND brains), their abilities outmatched only by their egos.
And about 20-30 years from now - we are going to wake up and find out that THEY find that they have more in common with each other, regardless where in the world they were made, then with us. Or with their parents and "regular" cousins. And that there are a whole bunch of them out there - and that they are mostly boys. With not enough pussy to go around. Just like China right now, with their 1 child per family policy, where there will be 30 million "brideless" men by 2020. Cause they all wanted boys. And since they were made to be competitive fighters - guess what happens next?
a name no one could possibly mistake for the Lido Deck on a cruise ship.

Would You like to give your future son (You are going to have a son, aren't you?) all the advantages of being a true tall, muscular, intelligent, disease free Alpha? Then step right up, and for a small fee Fertility Institutes will deliver you proud Arian offspring - even if you yourself might be more than a little darker. If you know what I mean. Nudge-nudge-wink-wink, say no more...
Fathers, do you want your son to be an athlete or a genius or both? He could win championships single-handedly, which would leave a hand free to develop cure for cancer at the same time.
Mothers, is there perhaps something about your baby that your husband should not find out? Like a distant ancestor of questionable racial origin. Or perhaps you just want to prevent it having your next door neighbor's eyes?
Have no worries - Fertility Institutes can fix and improve anything.

And no, I cannot possibly consult a dictionary or wikipedia each time I encounter a new word.
Not even those long ones? And why not? Does google charge for every search you make where you live?
It sure as hell takes less time to do that, than to make a slashdot comment. An uninformed slashdot comment might I add. You CAN add search engines (including dictionaries) to Firefox, you know?

You are missing the point. Article is about keyboards because they were able to get into a keyboard factory.
Almost every other product made in China is produced in same or similar conditions. Watches, toys, badges, shoes, paperclips, playing cards, cocktail umbrellas, T-shirts, marbles, glasses or iPods...
All of them are built in conditions reminiscent of slave labor. At least to middle-class westerners.
According to International Labour Organization they are making about 180 RMB less per month than construction workers. (228.76 U.S. dollars = 1 564.53466 Chinese yuan according to Google) Or about 620 RMB less than someone working in education.
To many, that is a sweet deal and a well paid indoor job that you do sitting on your ass. Anyone who has a problem visualizing something like that - next weekend, get up at 4 AM, pick up a shovel and go outside and dig some ditches until sundown. It should down on you quite quickly how assembling keyboards for 60 cents an hour may seem like a great career opportunity.

...That you can't flesh out that miscarriage comment with a little anecdote from your family's past.
Preferably as told by your mother, and if possbile from about back then when you were born.
There are a bunch of photos there.
Really, it is about time for an update in the Spirit of that classic tale.
Only this time - we have the Opportunity to make it "based on a true story".
And no, I cannot possibly consult a dictionary or wikipedia each time I encounter a new word.
