If you go inside the event horizon (i.e. where we can't see what's going on), regardless how big the black hole is, it is still inevitable that what goes in, must continue going in until it approaches the singularity, or whatever is there where our laws of physics break down. I use to look at the event horizon as something that is per definition the border where things mustn't go in, and where it must. So I don't think that environment is stable enough for life to thrive in; it'd inevitably enter the singularity.
I've also read what you have however -- that more massive black holes suck you in less "forcefully", if you were to approach it.
I agree, and think you just hit the nail on the head as for what will happen among protesters if this would pass in the EU. Massive linkage from 4chan to Google searches regarding child porn. You don't even need web sites that can provide you a custom text different from the URL, thanks to bit.ly and other URL shorteners. This could and would probably take on as a social network-wide protest on Facebook and Twitter. Thousands of hundreds hits will immediately happen, and if targeting social networks, probably even with repeat "offenders", to further complicate things.
Serious question: Windows had fanboys? I always figured Windows was for people who didn't care (I mean that in the nicest possible way).
Yes, they're populating Neowin.net and other places, keeping to find arguments for the new Microsoft Kin, Zune and Zune Marketplace, etc. Lots of news about Bing too, but not anymore, now that it was shown that MS didn't succeed with that redesign either.
The bug even makes sense, if you've followed Chrome development, since this is one of the latest features. It's not abnormal that it'll have a few oversights here and there.:p
I'm amazed by Slashdot's ability to move from client-side recollection of your zoom setting to "sniffing out user data for advertiser revenues and general baby-killing". Slashdot must not have masturbated to their JPG's yet today.
WTF. This is obviously a browser bug. What on Earth does Google have to gain by letting the browser recall your zoom setting on the client-side? Stop trolling, please!
Google hasn't replied, but I assume that's because the stupid article author didn't even file a bug against this. I'm a complete nobody in Chrome development, but even I has done this in 2 minutes, an equivalent time period of composing a well formulated e-mail and sending it to Google.
It should also be noted that this RAM usage is comparable to that of Chrome or Opera. People are making Firefox memory management too big of a deal. For some reason, they don't complain as much about Opera, even if that browser has had benchmarks done to it and seem to release less memory over time. (In this picture, Chrome is one of those that uses quite a bit of memory but releases it very efficiently due to being process-based -- I think this solves a ton of headaches)
These days all of the lazy fucks that call themselves programmers just point and click in pretty drag and drop IDEs that require 10MB of RAM just to print "hello fucking world".
Not because of technical reasons, but because users demand a full-featured browser.
I'm not sure who you asked in your survery, because there are statistics showing that Firefox is dropping a bit lately as Chrome is gaining. This could be for other reasons than switching users, but what I've heard at various communities is making this seem more than an anecdotal observation.
The comparison is against Voyager that also have software installed, but where Windows is so much more complex and still with potential to run that stable. But yes, of course that complexity also drives the hw requirements.
I don't play around with Linux much at all, but here's my review of this OS that I tried last evening:
1. Fast! 2. Mostly just web apps in the app menu. Office apps = Google apps, etc. 3. The web apps open up minimalist Firefox windows.
This is basically it, IMO. I've intentionally worded this "review" like I did - very short and concise, because that's what this distro is. It doesn't do much besides opening Firefox windows. Since it doesn't do much else, it runs and boots very fast. The key to its power is that it barely does anything. It can probably be compared to Chromium OS in that regard. One difference from Chromium OS is however that you *can* install other Linux apps too, but that's not the purpose of the distro. Yes, it does multiple accounts, and the main objective of those may be independent storage of the Firefox browser cookies.;) Backup systems? No no. Google backs up your documents on Google Docs. It seems like the distro is based on Linux Mint.
Yes, Scroggle has obviously been using a hacky way of getting their results./ie was always an odd IE support page at Google. I can understand that it changed now that Google has made a thorough site refresh.
With this so-called "World Wide Web", you can create your own web page, showing exactly the information you wish to reveal about yourself. You can show a profile picture, your name, your location, your birthday, your likes and interests, any pictures you want to share, any movies you want to share, and so forth. You can even change the appearance of it to suit your own tastes!
... and the socialization? Eventually, you'll simply reinvent Facebook, and hope everyone else use your site.
Let me guess - in Europe, you'd pay exactly those prices listed? No sales tax added on?
So you'd pay £429 / £499 / £599 / £529 / £599 / £699 for an iPad and not a penny more in sales/VAT?
I'm not sure if it goes for all of Europe, but in Sweden, consumer goods usually already have the VAT added, yes. So like in this case on the UK Apple Store. Not a penny more. However, if the goods are aimed for corporate use which doesn't pay this kind of hefty tax (currently 25% in Sweden IIRC), the store may list non-VAT prices.
Places like Newgrounds, Kongregate, etc...they would be filled with games that worked on the iPad and iPhone, yet would be free...meaning Apple wouldn't get their cut.
Can Flash games support touch input and touch gestures well?:-/
NoScript is the deal breaker. Chrome has a clunky way to turn JavaScript on and off, It even looks like it has the ability to manage blacklist/whitelist. If it could add the ability to manage the exception list while you are looking at the page (without diving into menus) the way NoScript does, then I would switch to chrome in a heartbeat.
I wonder if Chrome extensions can now manipulate said white/blacklist, like Chrome 5 indeed now has for both pictures, javascript (for Noscript-like functionality), and plugins (for Flashblock-like functionality)? It even does simple pattern-matching to block entire sub/domains... Seems like a wasted effort if there's no better UI than this however.
So why did Apple purchase a company that didn't take profit into their equation?

We do? There have been tons of complaints on Apple's strategy in terms of the App Store, and now lately the programming language limitations in the SDK, as well as every time they try to silence a blogger. There have been lots of voices of moving to Android Market, and so on.
Well, unless you just read the Apple fansites of course. But that gives an as objective view on things as just reading a Linux fansite, or Windows fansite (yeah, they exist).
Slashdot Mirror
Popularity != better. Since IE has the largest fan base, you're saying that IE is the browser that is "all that?"
Neither Opera, nor Firefox or Chrome, are shipped with any Windows version.
... comes greater responsibility and watching.
I hope they learnt their lesson. And other open source code maintainers, before it happens them.
This indeed happened to only the mirrors, but was pulled off by exploting the fact that the source code was open.
It's very important to keep these things under check because it's pretty much the #1 vulneraibility to this development model.

What evidence do you have that Google was, other than Google's own statement?
Why is more evidence necessary?
If Google made no statement
but they did

From his rant:
For Apple you have to purchase expensive iTenchnology. For Adobe, you get a free Flash Player.
What kind of rubbish is this?
Is he comparing a free software plugin to manufactured hardware? What's going on here?
AFAIK, Apple provides free access to H.264 movies, since Safari is free as well.

I suggest using a Google Chrome extension to let Google Docs parse the PDF and display it inline.
Yes, you'll lose some PDF features, but often it's good enough, and it's a much more stable method than using PDF Reader online.
