Sounds to me like the trolls think they have a patent on all methods of wiping one's nose, or picking up a piece of paper and putting it into a waste basket. . Grind up trolls and market them as dog food.
Pretty childish excuse on Google's part. As I recall it was the "Persian Gulf" when I was a kid. I always wondered where the "Arabian Gulf" was. Maybe when Iran stops executing innocents they can get a leg to stand on. Sosumi.
Yeah,as if GM's 1960's magazine ads weren't successful because not enough people clicked on them. It's the exposure. If Facebook doesn't get them enough of that, maybe they need to try the free Shopper mailbox stuffers.
That's because an icon is a standardized, universally recognized symbol, not someone "making a statement." I agree with you, but I think it's kind of cool that people DON'T recognize what the floppy symbol "was" anymore - precisely because it stood the test of time!
Interesting. Right. When I was younger - yeah, we chipped them out of stone - the dollar sign DID have two vertical slashes and we were trained to write it that way. Today, the double slash is so rare it might look odd. Mind you, far as I know, it took half a century to make that transition.
Amen. The real problem here is a clown who doesn't know what an 'icon' really means. It's not just a pretty picture. That's why the Treasury doesn't change the $ you mentioned just because an unemployed graphic artist needs a job designing a "more modern" symbol to confuse 100,000,000 users still earning dollars. Sony tried getting creative with icons, and look what happened to them.
And... does anyone know if $30 to $60 per LED is priced against actual manufacturing costs, or what they think we should be willing to pay based on their performance claims? Even if $60 is cost-effective in the long run, I'm not paying that.
Great, just what we need: search filtering based on somebody else's decision about what we need to see. Not too hard to see where this could be headed...
The post stopped short of saying what should be done about used sales cutting into new-sale profits. Would it be immoral to buy used products? Or just used games? Should we then shut down used book stores? - oh, wait a minute...
I don't have the same volume of data, but I back up about 500gb of more critical stuff to a remote location. I have several machines in two locations. For sensitive personal and financial data I additionally use PGP or securely encrypted Apple Disk Image. Thus I feel I can securely use Dropbox (cloud) for my Quicken files, having the current generation always available wherever I am, but I back Dropbox up too (even though a copy of it resides on every local machine.) I'm going to local net drive storage to reduce redundancy, since I also have the remote copy in another state. Again, with encrypted sensitive data and remote backup, I feel comfortable about the risks of hardware data loss and data theft.

Ditto. QC on CFL's is slipshod. Some seem to last forever; some last a few days. Who's making them really, the coal industry?
