They didn't. The start menu button is still here, it's just hidden and thus takes up less space. Try clicking on the bottom left corner. You can still launch programs in two clicks, and due to the start screen taking up more space, there is more room for icons and thus more programs available to be started with two clicks.
Being facebook friends with a deadbeat (or a perfect on-time payer) couldn't possibly predict creditworthiness of the applicant. It turns out past performance is actually a great predictor, on average. If you failed to pay your bills as agreed before, you are pretty likely to do it again.
Of course past performance is a good predictor, but it isn't a perfect predictor. There are many other predictors that can be used with varying levels of accuracy. I don't think that anyone is advocating replacing the current system with a system that only checks social media, rather one that combines multiple factors including social media.
Many things that you wouldn't expect to influence credit default rates have some correlation, e.g. browser choice. This doesn't mean that browsing using Firefox causes defaults on loans, rather that the kind of person who chooses Firefox is more likely to default. Likewise a person who is friends with a deadbeat is (apparently) more likely to default.
Once these ISPs learn that we're entitled to everything we want, they'll finally have to stop throttling us. Then we can continue to consume content without paying the people who spent their lives creating it.
You aren't entitled to everything you want, but you are entitled to everything you have already paid for. There is a big difference.
Slashdot should just create a cron job to post these Firefox stories. They could save a lot of time in the long run.
While they are at it, make it automatically post some BitCoin, Australia and Steve Jobs stories. Maybe throw in a random number generator and automate dupes too.
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this yet. It's definitely the best note taking software out there. I use it extensively for University, personal and development use.
Debug the code in the malware, it has to either send the solved blocks somewhere (then find the address that solved that block) or it will send the BitCoins to some particular address.
As BitCoin transactions aren't anonymous, in fact they are completely public, it would be trivial to follow where the BitCoins end up - hopefully to catch the malware author.
If Red Hat can't hack it in the presence of competition from CentOS then Red Hat needs to die, because it's not providing a service anyone values enough to actually pay for.
Except that Red Hat does provide services people value, they're they top contributor to the Linux kernel. People want Red Hat's software and they have two options, pay for it, or get it for free (CentOS). This is a similar problem to the piracy in the music industry; except it's worse because using CentOS is legal.
Not only this, but the more effort Red Hat puts in to make their software better, the less support people need and so the less money they get (From people not buying their support).
In other words, the loans only have to be partially backed by deposits. As an example, if the bank has $10 in deposits, it's allowed to make something like $100 in loans: $10 from the deposit, and another $90 that the bank itself created out of thin air.
That is nonsense. Loans aren't backed by deposits at all. Deposits are backed by assets (some of which are loans).
For a deposit of $10, The bank has $10 in deposits, $1 worth must be backed by cash assets, and $9 can be backed by loans. The bank loans out $9 and whoever borrowed it spends it with some merchant and the merchant deposits $9.
The bank has $9 in deposits, $0.9 worth must be backed by cash assets, and $8.1 can be backed by loans. The bank loans out $8.1 and whoever borrowed it spends it with some merchant and the merchant deposits $8.1.
The bank has $8.1 in deposits, $0.81 worth must be backed by cash assets, and $7.29 can be backed by loans. The bank loans out $7.29 and whoever borrowed it spends it with some merchant and the merchant deposits $7.29.
The bank has $7.29 in deposits, $0.729 worth must be backed by cash assets, and $6.561 can be backed by loans. The bank loans out $6.561 and whoever borrowed it spends it with some merchant and the merchant deposits $6.561.
The bank has $6.561 in deposits, $0.6561 worth must be backed by cash assets, and $5.9049 can be backed by loans. The bank loans out $5.9049 and whoever borrowed it spends it with some merchant and the merchant deposits $5.9049.
The bank has $5.9049 in deposits, $0.59049 worth must be backed by cash assets, and $5.31441 can be backed by loans. The bank loans out $5.31441 and whoever borrowed it spends it with some merchant and the merchant deposits $5.31441.
The bank has $5.31441 in deposits, $0.531441 worth must be backed by cash assets, and $4.782969 can be backed by loans. The bank loans out $4.782969 and whoever borrowed it spends it with some merchant and the merchant deposits $4.782969.
The bank has $4.782969 in deposits, $0.4782969 worth must be backed by cash assets, and $4.3046721 can be backed by loans. The bank loans out $4.3046721 and whoever borrowed it spends it with some merchant and the merchant deposits $4.3046721.
The bank has $4.3046721 in deposits, $0.43046721 worth must be backed by cash assets, and $3.87420489 can be backed by loans. The bank loans out $3.87420489 and whoever borrowed it spends it with some merchant and the merchant deposits $3.87420489.
The bank has $3.87420489 in deposits, $0.387420489 worth must be backed by cash assets, and $3.486784401 can be backed by loans. The bank loans out $3.486784401 and whoever borrowed it spends it with some merchant and the merchant deposits $3.486784401.
Eventually (after an infinite amount of cycles), the bank has $100 in deposits backed by $10 of cash and $90 of loans. The bank loans out only what it has on deposit, nothing more.
Payment shall be made in the
form of check, electronic transfers, or money order issued to the seller of the junk or
used or secondhand property and made payable to the name and address of the seller.
All payments made by check, electronic transfers, or money order shall be reported
separately in the daily reports required by R.S. 37:1866.
BitCoin is an electronic transfer, hence as long as it is reported it is as legal as everything else.
To me it looks like speculators have finished dumping and now want more buyers to drive up the price.
Anyway, this isn't a legal tender issue. Legal tender only applies for debt, this is why Apple can get away with no cash policies.
Studies have shown a negative correlation between the availability of porn and rape cases. IIRC this is also the case specifically with CP and child rape. If anything, this will make it worse for the children.
Not to mention the problems with a software based solution. The software will, of course, only run on certain operating systems, who is the government to mandate I purchase a particular operating system/or agree to a contract (e.g. the GPL)? Anyone who knows what they are doing can get around this anyway. Even if it calls home, it could be faked by using a VM.
I sent $5 to an indie musician via PayPal, PayPal responded by immediately freezing my account. I have a static IP address and a strong password, there was nothing to suggest the transaction was fraudulent.
PayPal automatically opened a dispute, I sent a message to PayPal explaining what happened and asking them to let the transaction go through and only after several days did they unfreeze my account and cancel the transaction.
I need PayPal to be able to receive funds, but now I'm afraid that if I use it how it's intended that my account will be frozen again. I can't create a 2nd account because that's a breach of ToS.
I don't think PayPal is evil, it's just annoying to deal with.

From the thread linked in the article, it appears that the problems with Banshee were due to bugs in mono that have now been fixed.
You're assuming they didn't want this to leak.

When's the last time you saw a version of Windows require a less powerful computer than the previous release?
You mean like Windows 7 and soon to arrive, Windows 8?

I tried DuckDuckGo for a couple of weeks, it was good but it was unbelievably slow compared to Google/Bing.

I was surprised to find out that they still show advertising to paid subscribers, in particular annoying Flash based advertising.
Luckily there is Adblock.

You could have at least put the effort in to use a valid check number.
Let me guess, they are going to block it the same way pirate sites get blocked? Good luck with that.
This is likely just going to be a false sense of security.
