It can read PDFs - in a full-screen Metro-UI viewer that makes it completely impossible to do things like read documentation for a computer program while you also use that program. It also comes with a Metro picture viewer that has replaced the classic photo viewer, that goes full screen for the same effect - if you are designing a web page and have a browser and html editor open, boom they are gone and you are back to a metro-ui phone interface when you close your full-screen image. Windows 8 is a shitpile of shit.
Challenge: Accepted. (simple, put it on a 30" monitor VESA base)
However, even a 16:10 24" monitor (1200px wide) seems ridiculously tall, you are constantly craning your neck up and down. Now try this garbage 768px wide. You'd look like a bobble-head.
This would be pretty sweet aspect ratio as a 60" TV for movie watching, not as a monitor with the vertical resolution of a 1997 laptop.
If that is the case, it would take less than 24 hours to complete a re-spider request to Google webmaster tools, and if the current content was different or 404'd vs the cached version, Google would remove it. I have done this just this last week for lame search results and after having personal stuff quashed from sites, obviously someone can't read the manual of the Internet. Google doesn't profit from returning results that are not correct, but forcing them to not return the best results if I type in "Trkulja mob pictures" is censorship and Australia can go stick it in their ear.
HP has a backdoor-by-design, it's called ePrint, where the printer phones home to HP and maintains contact with "the cloud", so that email and web printing jobs can be sent to the printer from knowing a not-too-long URL.
Then there is the HP flaw where a printer's firmware can be updated over the Internet by anyone or even through a specially crafted print job to do whatever they like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njVv7J2azY8 (long technical video). Of course HP semi-refuted this faster than a security researcher there would have been able to investigate.
I've turned off all the Google history options there are and have multiple accounts that I alternately use for different services; that doesn't keep them from suggesting videos that are curiously like ones I watched days ago even when logged out, so the tracking is continuing even if they say it is off.

It's a made up word for the rest of us, eu- meaning "good". It is a reverse euphemism, designed to imply there are two classes of "differently-abled" people, as opposed to dyslexics simply being impaired.
I wonder if dyslexia is like ADHD -- *everyone* has a little bit of it,...
If you read some of the testimonials from the font website, they read as "I never thought I had dyslexia, but reading this is so much easier". I have the opposite experience, the font is as annoying as reading in comic sans, being distracting and blocky, and reminds me of some really bad home-brewed free fonts. So if the font is viewed as a test for dyslexia, making things better for diagnosed dyslexics, I sure don't see any degree of benefit at all. There are clearly normal reading people and then those with dyslexia of varying degree.
I don't care to watch the pirated religious video, but it seems more the case of the organization using someone else's data retrieval and computer visualization video elements instead of employing the expense and expertise of making own video content. They can state that God created asteroids to smite non-believers using their own non-infringing crayon drawings, but chose to employ someone else's copyrighted work to further their agenda, not to make fair-use comment on it.
The video is a visualization of asteroid orbits, with them appearing chronologically upon date of their discovery, using public data (not copyrightable). The religious wackjobs probably have no idea what the word ephemeris means, let alone how to program a computer to visualize thousands of them, so they co-opted someone else's work and perverted it's origin and educational value.
Consider an mp3 file. Add ID3 tags. Add ID3v2 tags. Re-encode to ogg....If you wanted to perfectly deduplicate this collection, you’d have to invent software that can detect all this non-bitwise duplicity.
For audio files there are audio fingerprint de-duplication tools, such as Bolide Audio Comparer. This particular program is pretty amazing when you need to rearrange and de-duplicate your audio files, set it loose on all your drives, it can scan flacs and mp4 too, so you truly can select just the most desirable copy of the audio rip. It is very good, with false positives only starting to occur when you reduce the detection threshold and it starts to find the non-explicit version, no-vocal versions, or remixes of the same song. It would be wise to organize and intelligently de-dupe media before setting less intelligent checksum de-duplication loose.
The default in Java is to check for an update every month. If you want to reduce your exposure to "30-day" exploits, it would be wise to go into the Java control panel applet and increase the update check frequency to monthly or daily if you must use Java. "Update Now" is available on the update tab of the control panel applet if you don't want to download this update from the web.
Yes, in fact there are millionth-of-a-bitcents. A Bitcoin is actual made of 100,000,000 base units (sometimes nicknamed Satoshis, after the creator). This makes it possible to send.00000001 Bitcoins to someone (although you might need to pay a.0005 network fee to do so). There is plenty of Bitcoin for worldwide adoption. An eventual 21 million Bitcoins x 100 million base units, enough for everybody in the world to use them for commerce.
Interesting. You seem to be under the impression that only Bitcoins were deposited with Bitcoinica, when in fact USD were the only available deposit method until recently in the site's operation. It was a leveraged brokerage that allowed trading and short-selling in Bitcoin. People deposited cold hard government cash into their accounts there through bank transfers and had USD balances that were stolen by the operators when the site was secretly bought by other investors and closed down without announcement.
I'm sorry Wikipedia, but your study must be removed from Slashdot until you can come up with independent citations.

Windows 8 Is Ready
·
· Score: 3, Insightful
Windows 8 has gotten more idiot proof than usual, and that's what draws in people that don't already somehow have a PC.
Thing is, make something idiot proof, the universe evolves a better class of idiots.
Idiots are so ingenious that they've written themselves an OS.
I hope this is more a response to web sites that scrape Craigslist listings and put them up on fake blogs for search engines to find. When I make a Craigslist posting, I don't intend on my photos and contact information to be copied on some Malaysian or Russian site, and hopefully this will give Craigslist ammo to get these sites taken down by now having copyright or license to the content that is posted there.

I would pay commercial space companies to launch my CubeSat systems for a modest fee. RTFA.

There's a pretty clever blog that has found even older references to the island right where it shouldn't be:

No, you throw that shit in the garbage and ignore it. Threats and coercion should instead be reported to local law enforcement.
