The problem with expected value like that is to have a good chance of profit you need to file lots and lots of law.... oh, wait, nevermind. They have that covered.
From what I've found and done, not so much "turn off" as "attempt to beat into submission". Spending a couple hours in about:config got me to something that was like what I had, but still isn't great.
If by "enhancements" they mean "throw the awesomebar out a window", I'm all for it.
Yes, part of that is resistance to change, but part is from my first experience involved typing a URL and seeing results getting pulled from the middle of a page's title that had nothing to do with what I wanted.
Only dress code that should be required: 1) Do not show up to work naked. 2) If you're in a position where you need to be taken seriously, dress so that the other guy will take you seriously. 3) Seriously, noone wants to see you naked.
Hmm, I think we can negotiate. Is this arm in addition to my first two, or in replacement of one? Will I have use of it like my dominant hand or my off hand?
I'm well aware of what social engineering is, but what are "socially engineered malware attack URLs"? Those things that pop up in my inbox say "check out this picture of us!" with a link that looks like someone smashed their head on the keyboard?
"Other products" - Especially college textbooks. Half of the people I knew would grab the international editions online just because they were a fraction of the price.
I just skimmed TFA (sorry), and I saw the graph of length vs email provider. And there's a blip on the 2 character mark. How does a 2 character password get allowed?
I guess in a way it works, though. Who's going to guess a 2 character password to try to get into an account?
I see this more of a case of Watson having to lose than either of the contestants being able to win. Considering Watson will have an answer to any question before the humans can, and has machine timing, it will be guaranteed to buzz in first. At that point it just boils down to if the parser is confident enough in its answer to provide it and if said answer is right or wrong. For the humans to have a chance, the categories need to be the wordplay and other related trickeries. Even then, it's not truly people vs. machine, it's person vs. person vs. machine, so the human score will be diluted between two contestants.

You missed fox news. But that's because they are fair and balanced. They say so right in the slogan.
I'd love to see a law where it was likewise illegal for any public employee to LIE during any interactions with the public.
Finally, cops will actually have to answer the question "Are you a cop?" truthfully.
Also, I have to throw this in: "Mr. Congressman, boxers or briefs?"
my advice would be wearing a T-shirt that states by being in your presence you are agreeing to be audio recorded.
Congratulations! You, sir, have just invented the EULA and won yourself the obligatory xkcd.
Apparently the designers of the cover skipped the lesson on not putting short circuits into a device.
you can turn the awesomebar off as well iirc

as well as URL bar enhancements

If only there was some internet repository where leaks of this kind could be shared. It could even be made into a wiki, for easier access.
Oh, that's right, we can't. People will just add riders to the bill to eliminate riders.

I'm torn between "My eyes! The goggles do nothing!" and just saying that's what beer is.
Whatever happened to pushing the boundaries of technology "because we can"?
What if some of those 1100 communities were to just build the fiber out themselves, instead of looking for Google to do it for them?

So it's actually much, much worse.
Clicking on the document's properties revealed Tapanaris as its named author.
Congratulations, Mr. Tapanaris, you've won the "Wow, I'm an idiot for signing an 'anonymous' document" prize!

Two people can be a person of the year? Or is this just because of the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear?
Pabst Blue Ribbon is offering free beer to anyone still working at AltaVista.
Isn't there something in the constitution about cruel and unusual punishment? I think this would hit the "piling it on" clause.
That would only fit a rather expansive definition of "the past few weeks."
It's ok, we're measuring in Valve time.
Can we just find every single patent that mentions "on a computer" or "in a browser" and have a bonfire?
I guess in a way it works, though. Who's going to guess a 2 character password to try to get into an account?

Perhaps he should be tested?
