I don't have any problem with FF 10. But I'm not a hardcore developer, and I don't need any extensions. I keep Chrome handy in case I need it for a specific site, or want to test something without cookies.
But in general, I understand the anxiety. Whenever there's a Skype upgrade I test it on a virtual machine first. And I refuse to update Second Life, because versions newer than 1.x are atrocious.
Unlike paper ballots (and in the absence of a paper audit trail backing an electronic voting system), online vote gathering offers no good way to re-count.
What? Push a button, and the recount is done. You could also distribute the votes to multiple data centers to be independently counted by different software, to reduce the possibility of tampering.
Wait, so you have to have a breathalyzer in the car, but do you have to use it? Then I can still drink and drive as long as I don't get caught. Sounds fine to me.
Because the 5th Amendment is your only defense. If the government already knows what's on the drive, you're not revealing any new evidence. But, it seems a stretch that they would know with certainty, and there could also be additional data on the drive that they don't know about yet.
What kind of cretin believes that a discharged rechargeable battery requires replacement?
Lithium-ion batteries become damaged when they sit for weeks or months, and are discharged beyond their safe level. I don't know if Tesla is using Li-ion or not, but it could similar.
The other issue is that the article says "the car can't even be rolled" which would mean you can't put it in neutral without power -- which is pretty dumb.
Deep discharge may short-circuit the cell, in which case recharging would be unsafe.[55] To reduce these risks, Lithium-ion battery packs contain fail-safe circuitry that shuts down the battery when its voltage is outside the safe range of 3–4.2 V per cell.[33][45] When stored for long periods the small current draw of the protection circuitry itself may drain the battery below its shut down voltage; normal chargers are then ineffective. -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery
Nah, it's just as easy for a machine to recognize an animal as it is to recognize a character. And we're getting to the point where any question that has an objective answer can be answered by a search engine.
So much better for the drug companies. But you don't have to load it up with that many drugs. By filling it to capacity with just the drugs you need, you'd lengthen your time between refills.
But then, filling is the big problem. How do you guarantee that all those little reservoirs have the right drugs in them?
Good point, but mainly they're citing smaller sizes and higher capacities as the problem. If the technology was cheap enough, you could sell a large SSD made up of smaller units, and let the user buy two and mirror them.
Classical music is more of a deterrent than crime, bad weather, cigarette smoke, germs, long walks, etc? If they're blasting the music, that's one thing, but I assume the volume is below the physical pain threshold.
Some Windows kiosks have custom browsers or other apps that run full screen and don't let you out easily. That might be a better solution, but more difficult.
Yes, that's probably the best you can do. You can't lock the tablet into a single application without modifying the operating system. But you can remove more or all of the other applications, and without Internet access nobody will be able to download anything else.
You don't even need DNS hijacking. Internet access has already been restricted, presumably by a MAC address or IP address filter.
In other words, no significant effect of the music on crime statistics has been measured.
It means they have seen an effect, but it's just one city, and a small number of people. Theoretically it could be attributed to something else, like say a change in air quality.

I want a lot of things. That doesn't mean I'm going to get them.

Why would you own an SUV if you didn't need it a good number of days out of the year? They can't be that much fun to drive?
if you're that badly handicapped that you can't manage public transport, you also would be unable to drive.
Uh yeah, if you're missing your left leg, you should walk to the bus stop instead of driving to work.

Yeah, because Apple has a secret battery technology that nobody else knows about.
I'm beginning to think people like the IRS more than the TSA.
I do. Have you talked to the IRS on the phone lately? They're downright friendly.

We should all help stamp out and abolish redundancy and repetition.

The only way you'll get any info on my emails is by packet sniffing. Even then, some of them are TLS-encrypted.
No, copper.

Well, I'm all for man caves and RC. I'll say that much.
Yeah, it's cool, I guess. But 7 years?

I meant the manufacturer, not you.
Well, to start with you can make an SSD as big as you want by taking smaller SSD's and chaining them together with an intelligent front-end.

Be nice. In The World's Not Enough, Bond's x-ray glasses were blue, not red.
