Nope. Apparently "copy location" doesn't work either. Firefox silently left the clipboard unchanged. (I just happened to already have the URI there from copying it into my previous post.)
Slasdot does include the data URI in the HTML, but firefox seems to be immune to it.
It is worse because you can embed the entire spoof in link-spam, and thus have no need for a domain that could be blacklisted, shut down by authorities, or traced back to you.
Nothing seems to happen if I click on the link with firefox. However, I do get to the spoof page if I manually copy the link location and paste it in the address bar.
What I want is a little webcam that I can put on my shoulder, and which records everything (without uploading it anywhere). Then, when I want to know where my keys are, it'll show me the last recorded images that have keys in them.
Breivik was sentenced to cointainment. That means he will only get out if he's deemed to no longer be dangerous to society. Very likely he'll be in prison until he dies.
Hire a management consultant, and pay him in proportion to the cost-cuts he makes. He'll give you a brilliant explanation why cutting everything makes perfect sense. (You might not understand every detail, but you'll trust him, because somebody who charges that much has got to be smart.)
Oh, are we playing pick-a-nit? Then I'd like to point out that the word "sum" does not always refer to addition. It also has several other meanings, including "essence", "union", and "summary".
I cryptography (which is the subject of the grandparent post), the word "sum" is frequently taken to mean "cheksum" or "combination of information". For example, the MD5 hash is often reffered to as the "MD5 sum". In that sense, it would be correct to say that "n is the sum of p and q".
Actually, I'm tinking of donating. If we can get the lunatics to make plastic guns and blow their hands off, then much fewer innocent people will get shot.
Admittedly a bit messier than gun control laws, but it may also be more effective.
Failing to accelerate properly when entering a highway is something that the system should be able to detect fairly easily by correlating acceleration with GPS position.
how to they tell the difference between someone driving carefully and some half-blind octogenarian that's causing traffic accidents around them by driving too slow... ?
Correlating speed to position and a database of speed limits will tell you if people are driving too fast or too slow. (In certain cases, driving slower than the speed limit is the correct action, so you'd have to look at a large dataset to differentiate between those who adapt to circumstances and those who always drive to slow.)
In general, slow drivers aren't a problem for insurance companies. If you drive slowly and another car gets into an accident while trying to overtake, it's typically his insurace that will have to pay, because he should have waited until it was safe to pass.
I suspect they are trying to weed out the young drivers who have never been in a near-accident and believe that they can drive 20 mph over the speed limit, because they have such a good car, and their reactions are so much better than other people's. If they can eliminate that subset of drivers, they wouldn't have to have such high premiums for young people in general.
Amazingly, a lot of people don't know what plagiarism is. The think "write an essay" means the same thing as "copy from an encyclopedia". From TFA: "He said one student wrote him soon after he posted his letter and confessed to submitting a plagiarized essay, but the student said he had not realized that copying and pasting from other sources was wrong."
I think the problem lies in elementary school. Students are encouraged to copy texts (in order to learn writing) and they are simply never told that actual essays are supposed to be something that they invent themselves.
And with a GDP per capita of approximately USD 2 600 (a twentieth of the US) very few of those can afford to pay for apps. The fact that the “CFA Exam Audio Series: Level II 2013 priced at $100 placed #3 gives a hint as to how many Nigerians are buying apps.

So every script that handles DNT will start with something like "if browser=="IE10" and dnt=="1" then dnt=null", treating IE users the same as any other user that did not set the DNT flag explicitly. No harm done, except to people who are savvy enougth to know about DNT and still use IE (and they really have nobody to blame except themselves).
Now, while we're on the subject, could browser makers please make the "Accept-Language" also default to null unless the user sets it explicitly? If I set it to "en-us", it means I actually want the English version of the page, but websites that check this header all assume that "en-us" means "left at default setting" and serve me the local language of the country I happen to be in. (The same thing as will happen with DNT on IE.)
How does this work? A DMCA notice requires somebody to certify under penalty of perjury that he represents the copyright holder. Perjury is a felony that carries up to five years in prison. In a system where scentences are served consecutively, such a script could easily get you sent to prison for the rest of your life.
The real reason ICANN is doing all applications simultaneously, is so that the folks in the later batches won't have an opportunity to ask for their money back when they realize that a gTLD is completely worthless.
Here's what's going to happen: Somebody reigsters the gTLD "apple", and sets up his website at http://apple/ and his email somebody@apple. Then he finds out he gets no web traffic, because people don't type "http://" into their browsers. They just type "apple" and get the top search engine hit (apple.com) instead. Also, much of his incoming email never gets through, because most email software doesn't recognize "somebody@apple" as a valid email addresss.
Will browser makers update their browsers to go to gTLD's instead of top search results? I don't think so. Their users would hate them for it, so they'd need a financial incentive to do so. Maybe they could charge gTLD owner's another $100k to be on a whitelist. That would generate a lot of money for browser development.
It's a case of parents who don't read warnings and let their kids have access to something that clearly isn't safe for them.
Parents would probably read warnings if they were only displayed on products that are actually dangerous. In the US, for fear of lawsuits, everything comes with a long list of warnings. It's like the boy who cried wolf: Parents are trained to ignore warnings. (I once bought a toy for my three year old that was labeled "EU: Not suitable for children under 3. US: Not suitable for children under 5.")
I doubt they would spend energy on this. Setting up fake mail accounts costs time/money, and even though the spammers as a collective might benefit from attacking the spam filter, it is more profitable for the individual spammer to use those accounts for sending spam.
Also, a support vector network could easily learn that the "not spam" flag from certain users actually means the opposite.
Yes a standard is needed (forced or otherwise). There would also be a need for an economic system where you rent the battery that is in your car, rather than own it. This does not seem like an insurmountable problem. It would also lower production costs, and make it easy to replace batteries as they age.
Only the external interface needs to be standardized. It is theoretically possible to allow batteries with different internal chemistries. The robots could handle a few different battery types, and different cars could also use different numbers of battery packs depending on requirements.

Read my post again. I said lunatics not criminals. Obviously there's an overlap, but the non-lunatic criminals will get real guns regardless.
Also, God help us if this ever became a reality.
Actually, I'm tinking of donating. If we can get the lunatics to make plastic guns and blow their hands off, then much fewer innocent people will get shot.
