I agree about the site identity stuff. Plus they've taken out the padlock (moved to status bar) and yellow highlighting on the address bar for https sites.
I noticed in the screencast that they went to google to see why a site was reported as a malware site. Do they constantly forward stuff to Google to do these checks? That wasn't explained. What do they send and when do they send it? I'd like to be told if they're doing that.
I remember how disgusted I was with the movie Transformers. Advertising was all over the place. I couldn't suspend disbelief and enjoy the movie as all I could think of was GMC, Mountain Dew, etc.
At what rate? I don't see that the new release does much in that regard. There is still no CMYK or 32bit support as far as I can tell from the article.
Here's your Citation Reference:)
I don't get why people don't even trust Wikipedia's disclaimers. I mean are they assuming that the disclaimer is incorrect, and that Wikipedia does make some guarantee of correctness??
I would have collected the email addresses and sent them an email telling them their account has been compromised and that they should change their password.
I wouldn't use something like this, especially since POP3 is available in Gmail, but what worries me is that one of the Firefox extensions that I use may do this.
Do people know that Jimbo spent hundreds of thousands of dollars of his own money to get Wikipedia started? He's also on the board so $1300 is basically nothing compared to what he's given the foundation.
It's really difficult to design good software that's complex and yet can run in parallel across different data centers (not just servers). Something always goes wrong, OS failures, SAN failures, software failures, power failures, facility failures. You can build redundancy all you want, something will go wrong at some point and redundancy will fail or it won't be enough. For example, the OS could screw up writing to disk ruining your data, there go your redundant SANs replicating errors across different locations in the same manner. Gotta restore from backup, there goes your 99.9% (no way you can restore hundreds of gigabytes of data in less than a couple of hours) availability for the year. Think it hasn't happened? Ask IBM AIX support, this is not a made up example.
That's still pretty annoying. I don't want to teach my browser (not to mention doing it for all profiles, users, machines, etc.). The old behavior was definitely better.
Well, it's keeping off the know so skilled spammers and the spammers that can't afford to pay for accounts created by those with the skills. Many websites would be unusable without captchas.
Just how much will they be able to access? They can already access some type of information through the MyChart website. Why do they need Google anyway? Why not keep it permanently on CCF's site?
I've been using KDE for a long time and I really like it. There is one thing that annoys me though, I'll find a bug and try to report it, only to be told that I'm not on the latest version. I'll need to upgrade and see if it's still a bug. Well, as much as I'd like to help make KDE better, I'm not going to upgrade my entire OS just to test a bug. They're not very receptive to bug reporting.
"The pictures of the cars are copyrighted to the person who took the picture."
Actually that's not the case if the cars are copyrighted. The image would be considered a derviate work of the car. Yes, it's crazy, but it's the law.
If you take a picture of a copyrighted object such as a sculpture (and that's the main subject, not a small percentage of the image), that's considered a derivative work. They don't own your pictures, but you don't have complete copyright of them either. You can't make money off of them. I don't know if Ford copyrights their cars, but if they did then according to the law they would be correct in denying commercial access to the photographs. Yes, copyright law in general is nuts, but it's been this way for a long time so I don't see why the summary is so incredulous.
Get an external USB enclosure, hook up the drive and connect it to a PC, get a Live CD of some sort, write over the drive with alternations from/dev/null and/dev/urandom a couple of times, and you're done. Rinse, rather, repeat for other drives.
If they couldn't get a job with those expectations, they wouldn't make those demands. What this means is that the level has gone up, but some employers don't want to accept it. If they want to hire some people in India for a third the wage, and not even a cubicle, they can do it. Otherwise, shut up, and pay your employees properly or fold up and wait for the next recession.
I wish that they would force advertisers to put the words "advertisement" or something similar on the screen at all times. Sure some may be confusing (e.g. those "talk" show "infomertials") and it would help remove that confusion, but mainly I want it so there is a way to filter them out.
You have to set up filters, but that's how I like it. I have about 20 labels and filters. Expected emails (e.g. from bank) get labeled and moved away from the inbox. That way the emails in Inbox are the most important ones. I really like this feature in Gmail. Much better than some other automatic way of sorting (which besides chronological I don't see any other obvious yet useful way).
I'm thankful for Diebold and the other screwups that engineered and produced these machines. Can you imagine what would have happened if they'd produced good machines (and I can't imagine that being too difficult) but that still didn't have a paper trail or a way to guarantee the votes? They would have skated in all 50 states and the democratic process would be in a big mess. Due to their incredible incompetence, the big media is waking up. Seriously, thanks Diebold or whatever you're calling yourself now!
Of course ripping is not an authorized copy, but it's not illegal. It doesn't have to be authorized by the RIAA to be legal. It's legal because of fair use.

I can't really bring myself to read 'skewz' over and over, so I just wanted to say wazzap to my peepz

So they're going with a 3.0 instead of some crazy More Full Speed (TM) name this time?

Indeed, just as easy as the new emergency number
