The keyboard shortcut is spelt out in full right there in the "Recently Closed Tabs" submenu, inside the History menu you're looking at, and you needed some random blogger getting a front page article on Slashdot to find it for you?
There will also be no possibility of picking up second hand text e-books from the previous year's students that finished with them already. I know the textbook industry has been trying to work around this for years by issuing unnecessary revisions but DRM is far more effective.
If it's Negativland you're talking about, didn't they already settle that out of court, and allow them to use the song? I recall it being available for download from their website some years ago.
But in no way does this shed light on "the US" being proud of itself, or trying to be dicks beyond reason. The people at the airport have to do their job, and then go home and go to sleep.
And yet 90% of other countries' border guards manage that without being dicks beyond reason.
I think the logic actually started with him setting off the explosives detector, most likely because of the cleaning chemicals and pesticides he'd been using in his new apartment the previous day. Choosing the molestation and explosives swab route rather than the pervy scan route was his own decision, so prior to the explosives detector triggering, he had not been profiled. Probably his skin color and foreign sounding name, led to some false associations in the minds of the government agents. Perhaps also they were ignorant enough to associate his statement that he hadn't eaten anything that morning with Ramadan fasting, while in reality a Muslim would have eaten a substantial meal before dawn in order to make it through the day. But all that was after he'd set off the explosives detector, so I don't think it follows that their logic went as far as "all Muslims are terrorists".
The main problems with the event seem to be:
1. If the TSA believes that certain religious beliefs are a risk factor, then they should be educating their agents better on the subject. If they don't think religious beliefs are worth educating their agents about, then they shouldn't be asking questions about it or making judgements involving it. 2. The failure to at least get him a glass of water during the 9 hours. 3. The break-in to his apartment in his absence, which obviously wasn't a criminal break-in that happened to be coincidence, since the only thing stolen was a religious picture.
The uncertainty is the important factor, I think. In the case of the credit card numbers, there is high uncertainty over whether the numbers you are buying have any real value, so the price is low. For Instagram Likes, there is absolute certainty that they have no real value, so the price is higher.
Its clear they don't know what they're talking about. Ever since the 1950's everyone has known that in 20 years time we will all be driving flying cars.
RTFA. He was returning from Berlin on tickets paid for by the Guardian, having met with a director who is making a film about Snowden. So partner seems to be the correct word here, in both senses.
I suspect its the metadata that tells you how long you need to sit through the ad until you can skip to the content. MS cannot find this (possibly its buried in some Javascript somewhere that Youtube serves up in parallel with the actual content and metadata, which is why Google want them to just use HTML5), so they have the choice of making the user sit through the whole ad, or letting them skip immediately.
Can you give an example of a specific HTML5 feature in IE that YouTube would require?
If you mean basically hosting the mobile YouTube page as is in a web browser control and calling that an app, then this is precisely what several dozen YouTube players for Windows Phone already do. The problem with this approach is that it plainly sucks, which makes the users annoyed.
I think you just answered your own question. If HTML5 sucks on IE, then clearly there is work that needs to be done to improve it.
Fahrenheit 451 reference aside, shouldn't this be a 5xx code? The 4xx codes are supposed to be returned when the client has made an error (for example, 404: the client requested a resource that does not exist). 5xx codes are for when the server has failed to process a valid request.
Because the US disagrees with the views of the democratically elected government, just as was the case with the democratically elected government of the Palestinian Occupied Territories (now exiled to Gaza). Democracy is good, except when it produces results we don't like.
It isn't racist to observe that black males are responsible for a disproportionate amount of crime. It is racist when you start treating black males as criminals with no other evidence other than the fact they are black.
I haven't seen GPS sucking my battery down particularly fast with either an old iPhone 3GS or an iPhone 5.
Are you actually using the GPS, or you just have it switched on? On my Android phone, there is no difference in battery usage whether it is switched on or off. I know this, because Android disabled the ability for applications to switch the GPS on/off in an update, to prevent tracking behind your back, so the rules I had set up to disable GPS unless I was in my car stopped working, and battery life was surprisingly not affected. Since then, I haven't bothered turning it off. But run a navigation app, which is actually using the GPS actively, and the battery goes way down. Partly this is due to the 3D graphics, but the battery drains faster than any game drains it so the GPS is contributing a good amount.
This should be easy to find prior art for. 4 pin 3.5mm jacks were standard for headsets long before 2007 (I had a Motorola phone from about 2003 that used this type of jack), and the pins were deliberately arranged so that a normal stereo 3.5mm jack would just connect the mic pin to ground, making it very easy to detect which type of jack was inserted. Even if other phones did not implement the detection and just used the fact that a mic pin that was grounded would not produce unwanted noise, so there is no prior art before 2007, the addition of a simple detection circuit is obvious.
Not really less restrictive, just defined differently, and in ways that are sometimes open to interpretation. Kosher rules for whether animals are edible are defined by the shape of the hooves, so camels get lumped in with pigs. Halal depends on whether the animal is warm blooded and a strict herbivore, with the explicit exception of donkeys, and for some Muslims, horses. It's the same with seafood; kosher rules talk about fins and scales, while halal rules depend only on whether the animal is considered a fish or not (which varies among cultures).
I do not care about the menus as I am so hooked on instant search now that I cant live without it.
Sorry I lost faith in Linux after gnome 3.
This is a strange combination of comments, because the changes from Gnome 2 to Gnome 3 were to deemphasize the application menus and introduce search as the primary way for interacting with the shell.

This is surprising to an outside observer familiar only with the usual stereotypes of Germans.

Even cooler is the fact that it was posted by a time traveller.

Another article I read said the study used 6oz as the standard size. Which is a lot of ristrettos, so I think I'm safe.

For fashion advice, you might want to try a more appropriate site.

Locale is a bit above that budget, at $9.95.
Tasker is closer, at $3.95.
Llama is free, and you can donate your 1.00 (euro = US$1.24).
I think all of these will support tracking cell towers to determine location, so you do not need to waste battery polling GPS location constantly.

I'd guess that comes from the fact that Halal came later, when hygiene was slightly better (though still quite primitively) understood.

The Japanese in Korea and China during WW2 thought so too.
Other phones don't automatically give out your corporate domain login details using it though.
