I can not agree more with this. Tabs are for the page you are viewing not the menu, address bar, search bar, navigation buttons, bookmarks or anything else that is browser wide.
Also having tabs at the top messes with hovering and accessing remote desktop bars and operating system docks like object dock if you have it at the top (which is the default).
But Canberra is where all the politicians are and is between Melbourne and Sydney. I'm not surprised internet is cheaper and faster there otherwise the polys wouldn't be there.
Australia is way more expensive for internet access than just about anywhere else.
It would be nice if we paid for it as a service not a quota chunk too. "Here have $$ and let me do whatever I want with it." They setup Australia's Internet business model on purpose to charge for how much is used instead of just a base charge to deliver.
I knew someone many years ago who used to receive spindle packs holding 50 DVDs full of pirated material from someone in USA via mail.
It was a lot cheaper and quicker than trying to find and download that material from local connections. This person in USA apparently had a pretty fast connection (and a lot of time on their hands).
My point was about the use and potential abuse of non changeable identification not about a particular scanning device.
Read the article again AC even the first part is the main point, " 'The biometric features of your body, like your fingerprints, cannot be erased or deleted. They stay with you until the end of your life and stay constant — they cannot be changed."
So the point is biometric scanning like finger prints and iris scans can be copied and be out in the wild. If you used that identity in other places too then others can also potentially use them and steal your identity.

Not funny...
And use Open Street Map http://www.openstreetmap.org/
This just makes Open Street Map look better.
All those comments about OSM and its useability recently on /. is poo.
Hey in the Pokemon cartoon they have something like this so they must exist!
Seriously though seeing it on the cartoon for the first time I thought WTF is that, some very small oxygen tank?
And a service pack 4.
But is that counting shoes in pairs or separately?
Tyre sales must look really good in comparison.
When you use headphones in a phone the cable is used as an antenna so you can receive FM radio.
I don't think a separate conductor in the USB cable would need to be present.
New USB standard to be made of cables and plugs with clear insulation as a requirement?
Hack someone else to tell everyone that the governments are the bad h4x0rs.
Sounds legit.
I must be new here.
AC missed the point.
Navigation is used across the whole browser
Tabs are to choose pages/sessions. You don't change your navigation platform when you select another tab.
At least in Firefox there is a workaround in about:config

A bit like a brainstorm?
woops total wrong story I posted on
In Australia ISP chargers are quite expensive.

No more one laptop per child anymore? Should be rolling out one wristwatch per child soon?
