Google sees everything anyone on Google does. Whether it's Docs, or +, or gmail.
Or netnews. Just because the webby Google "Usenet" archive is crap doesn't mean their interfaces aren't.
Or elsewhere on the web. I am wondering how much of the web is intentionally "dark" in that it prevents Google's crawler(s) from fetching the pages.
TFA is at the Mercury News web site, and credits Derek Hawkins at the Washington Post. But TFA says its source is a Medium post by the RIAA's Cary Sherman, and sure enough if you go to the RIAA's web site you can find a post with a link to the Medium post as well as to the RIAA's actual report: https://www.riaa.com/riaa-rele...
ProTip for submitters and editors: if TFA has a source, the source may well be on the web too, and may have real actual data.
Considered properly, it's not just Yahoo's users, it's everyone who has corresponded via e-mail with someone who used a Yahoo mail address (and maybe including sbcglobal.net and att.net mail addresses), because those relationships have now (for some years) been mined by spammers, and now those folks are getting spam that at first glance appears to come from the user of the Yahoo mail address (same personal name in From: header, albeit now with different e-mail address).
Circulating libraries buy e-books from publishers, and at least some e-book licenses for libraries only permit a certain number of loans per digital e-book purchased. The justification for this is that paper books being loaned out accrue wear and tear and will be removed from circulation when they get too shabby.
I think it's mostly a place for the webmail divisions of AOL and Yahoo to fight over whose users don't get to migrate to the other legacy code base. And maybe for Verizon to threaten AT&T with that sort of thing, given that AT&T is still using Yahoo Mail as its webmail provider.
All that early stuff is gone and has been for some years. The "Compuserve Forums" that are today are a pale webby shadow of their ASCII glory.
You can look in on the forums as they are here. I don't think you need to be logged in to read.
I kept paying the $9.95/month to use it for dialup Internet when on the road, and so still have the numeric e-mail address (now approximately an AOL ID with e-mail).
A big chunk of the shipping price for used items is passed along to the seller as a "shipping allowance" that may cover the cost of shipping the product. For CDs and DVDs sent as Media Mail within the US, it probably does. For books, it's less certain. Anyway, reduce that price, Amazon will reduce the shipping allowance, and sellers will remove a lot of their low-priced inventory from Amazon.
Thanks. I really was curious how an app too new to have many ratings could end up in "best". DxO Labs had one other app in the store (which had been there for approximately two years, with new versions released), and sells other applications outside the store, and those could have been the influences. I have not used their applications so have no impression of their quality.
Back in mid-December 2015, DxO Labs released an app called "DxO Optics Pro for Photos". That's right, it's a photo-enhancement app that works with your Photos library, or something like that.
This was Version 1.0. It was soon top left on the "Best New Apps" section of the App Store's "Featured" screen, even though "We have not received enough ratings to display an average for the current version of this application." Which led me to wonder how this app could be considered "best".
How did this work, if not paid placement? Someone at the Fruit Company was looking at what just escaped from review and said "hey, that's really cool, let's feature it"? Number of installations per recent unit time?
How about if the kernel was written in Pascal? HP did that with early HP-UX for the HP 9000 Series 500. Like most Pascals of the day, it had extensions, and HP called its flavor "MODCAL".
I guess what I'm saying is, this isn't surprising, and if you can satisfy the requirements of the system call interface and section 2 of the manual, the result can be usable (though HP-UX on the series 500 had some userland-visible oddities).
You've got a pretty good memory. Windows for Workgroups 3.11 in 386enh mode runs its own filesystem code in a virtual device driver instead of calling down to the 16-bit real-mode DOS. It isn't Win32, but it is 32-bit protected-mode code.
Nah, they'll leave the OEM license price alone, but point out that there's another OEM license for the patents used in Android, and that has its own price. Ka-ching!
Yeah, something like that. This was going on months ago with pacbell.net/sbcglobal.net/att.net/yahoo.com addresses, a little before that with yahoo.de addresses and has been recurring as the spammers discover another XSS exploit in Yahoo's amazing web pile. "The Yahoo XSS exploit" really understates the case. I think Yahoo fixes them, but they've got a lot of code to churn through and I doubt anyone really knows what all is in there.
The one I looked at was an e-mail with one-line body urging me to check out a link that appeared to be a news page about some work-at-home thing. What wasn't obvious was the little iframe sourced from something in kr.yahoo.com; that got some JavaScript injected into it to capture cookies and send 'em to some other server, which I presume captured the Yahoo Mail session cookie and permitted the spammers to use it to trawl another lucky winner's contacts and/or inbox and send folks more of the same.
Thanks, saw that, guess I'm used to having to click a couple times to get to actual info from a/. article. Turns out the big blob of text about payday loans only shows up for those of us who are picky about what sites we let run JavaScript code in our browsers. I guess it's just there for SEO link juice and is not intended to be seen by humans. But, security site using WordPress, pointing out WordPress plugin vulnerability, and is hacked, oh the hugh manatee!
So, did anyone else look at the linked page and see a big blob of text about payday loans? Kinda amusing for a site that bills itself as a "security ledger".
As it stands, why switch? That's sort of like saying, "Why don't you change phone numbers? The 241 prefix is so much better than the 547 prefix you have now."
But the 241 prefix is better: you don't need to pull the dial as far to dial 241.
Adam Osborne had shown two new portables to computer-industry journalists. One was the same size as the O1, but had a bigger display. The other was smaller than the O1, and named "Vixen". The press didn't exactly keep these a secret, so word got out and prospective buyers held off hoping for a bigger screen or a smaller portable. Kilobaud Microcomputing magazine, some time later published an article with photos. I'm thinking it may have been the same issue which reported Osborne Computer Corporation's Chapter 11 filing, but don't recall for sure.
OCC hung on 'til at least 1986, and eventually released the Executive (the O1-sized machine with larger screen), the Osborne 3 (luggable PC-somewhat-compatible), and the Osborne O4 "Vixen".

The amusing bit is that the /. editor has faithfully preserved a typo from TFA at ZDnet.
