The link is on "ten things" and is to the link you found, but the link color is apparently the same as the text color so there really isn't an indication...
Only if you don't understand the definition of a placebo.
I was thinking the same thing. Did they fully explain that by "placebo" and "no active ingredients" it means that they are taking something with no medicinal value? If you don't gather from the explanation that the pills should have no effect on you, then it's still a placebo (in the intended sense).
I remember seeing this on a ticket years ago. There were two boxes, one indicating that a radar gun was used, the other saying that the person was visibly speeding. I'm surprised it's taken this long to come up honestly. Though I was under the impression it was to get people who were obviously driving much faster than the speed limit, not for minor speeding.
According to the article, the sound is supposed to turn off after the car reaches 12 mph because at that point they say the tire noise is enough to let you be able to hear it adequately.
As OS X becomes more popular it's pretty much inevitable that people will *want* AV on their computers. Be it from the paranoid to the clueless who "heard from a friend of a friend that Macs are insecure" -- or just someone playing it safe -- a move like this would make sense to ease consumer fears. Yes, they already sell AV products from third-parties, but in the same way Windows has its own set of security tools this is Apple's way of showing that you don't just have to trust them, they're actively involved in proving the safety of their product.
simple: to let people who are considering supporting firefox know that it is worth their time. the only way people are going to move away from IE-only renderable sites is if it merits their time to ensure cross-compatibility. by letting them know how many people are downloading it, it helps show them that there is a install base worthy of attention
myspace *is* a free service, barring a subscription. if they want to limit what people say while they're providing it to them without cost, then that's their option to do. when was the last time you heard a huge uproar over a site censoring out curse words? (yes, i know it is a bit different when it could be a competitor) if you don't like it, leave. it's that simple. you aren't out of money, you don't owe someone money, just leave. there are plenty of other social networking hubs around.
above everything else, read 5 in the terms & conditions. you agreed to let them do that when you signed up.
yeah, i get what you mean. I wouldn't put it past them (or any large corporation) to want to pursue legal options, but it seems that the gov has too many ways to get out of it...oh well...
I just couldn't think of a good way to state the GM example in terms of DHS without hauling out the "terra! terra!" cliche.
I think that would be like saying that if the FDA found out that there was a chemical in general mills cereals (all of them) that could cause illness in a large group of people, and to stay away from their product unless you know it won't affect you, and then general mills decides to sue the FDA. it's essentially their fault for having the defect in there, and the gov. is doing their job in protecting consumers.
i don't think the DHL is saying it aids terrorists, just that it poses a threat to people who are using it. basically, if it's a founded claim, there isn't much the company can do...
i know it says it's "not ready yet" but even an 8 character, lower-case letter only password has 208827064576 possibilities... it might take a while for that to catch up
I think that what they are concerned with is that if somebody sells something that, say, falls apart as soon as they get it, they associate the name Mozilla with poor quality. And beyond that, they might not make the connection that the store isn't an official Mozilla-type-product seller, so they could mistake it as being something sold directly by Mozilla Foundation.

...after his Win ME install decided to crap out. I had a Knoppix disk so I took it over to him, showed him how to use gaim, mozilla, and xmms. He's happy now. I explained that things might be slower than he's used to because it's loading off of the CD, but he doesn't even care. Considering this is pretty much all most people want to do with their computers, this is definitely a good way to win converts.
I also can't count the times knoppix has saved me when i do Something Stupid to a computer, or when windows decides to eat the mbr and i don't have a linux boot disk.
Linux is an 'open-source' system for running computers invented by a young Finnish student in 1991 and refined by thousands of programmers working together across the internet.
how long until they stop seeing it necessary to give linux a definition? i kinda wonder why they feel like 'quoting' open-source in this too, do they think they're lying? =D
Yeah, I have a friend who wanted to buy some rollerblades from Dick's Sporting Goods online. So naturally he goes to www.dicks.com. I think he's still scarred to this day.

What?! When did this happen and why wasn't I told? Time to trade in the vacuum tubes

is it just me, or does the laser beam in the picture in the article spread a *lot* more than what you'd think it should...
isn't maintaining standards throughout development a good thing? people get upset if they upgrade and things magicall Don't Work anymore.
Yeah, I have a friend who wanted to buy some rollerblades from Dick's Sporting Goods online. So naturally he goes to www.dicks.com. I think he's still scarred to this day.
You can (or at least are supposed to be able to) drag and drop fonts into nautilus and it's supposed to install...
