I think the reason that this problem just came to light recently has more to do with Windows 10. Sometimes, Windows 10 will spontaneously perform a screen refresh that cancels any UI text input that is happening at the same time. A friend has also noticed it, and it caused him to delete a file while in the process of renaming it.
Chrome shouldn't change its behavior to get around this obvious failure.... The problem should be addressed at the CAUSE.
It's simple. Just go to the website, and PROVIDE US WITH ALL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION, INCLUDING EMAIL ADDRESS, AND BEGIN EXERCISING.
It also shares your progress on social media. Somehow, I don't think this will catch on. Too many slashdotters will not want their moms to know that they are going to PornHub to "exercise".
Everyone posting is saying "OMG, it's full of spyware! I'm NEVER going to install this...."
That would be a mistake.
Since the introduction of Windows 10, the windows update servers that are serving the patches for Windows 7 have become unbearably slow. It now takes almost a whole day to download and install the 200+ updates.
Instead, you can just install this rollup package, and save yourself several hours of wating to install updates. This is a **GOOD** thing, people!
Enabling the FM receiver chip would be very useful for emergency situations, like terrorist attacks or dangerous weather. It would be most useful in the southeastern United States where there are hurricanes and tornadoes. You don't really see a lot of those in Canada, so I can only imagine that the reason for the campaign is consumer rights.
Any kind of cling-wrap is wrong. What you want is SHRINK WRAP. If you received a phone in a box wrapped in household kitchen plastic wrap, you would suspect immediately that it had already been opened.
How do you "prank" a theft from a portrait gallery? If they actually stole a portrait, then it's theft. It doesn't matter if they give it back and say "it's just a prank".
I don't think any of the things that you suggest would have reversed the actions of McClatchy. By the time that the employees got the memo, it was too late. Contracts with the firms in India had already been signed. There was no way McClatchy was going to breach the contract.
you'd have to be a hoarder to still have USB sticks smaller than 4GB.
Millions of 2GB flash drives were given away as swag at trade shows and through direct marketing. They aren't useless yet, unless they have reached the end of their useful life, and that only happens after a large number of *WRITE* cycles, not read cycles. Using them for Ubuntu install media is a perfect way to keep them from the landfill.
It's interesting, because even with this mistake, it tells you something about the submitter. It tells you that they probably meant to type "triple", and heard the word in their head while typing it, but instead managed to type "treble". But substitutions like this don't just spontaneously appear. They appear if your fingers are more used to typing something. This submitter could likely be a musician, because they often type the word "treble". That makes the subject matter of the submission interesting to the submitter. I can imagine a musician might be interested in the outcome of a lawsuit from a photographer.
Of course, the submitter might also just be a stereo repair man, so you can just forget everything I just said.
This must be the thinking of the early nuclear days of around 1945. Iodine pills will cause your thyroid gland to absorb the iodine from the pills, rather than radiated iodine from the environment (water, food, etc). That's great, because you don't want your thyroid going all super-mutant on you. But, radiation can have bad effects on you in more ways than messing up your thyroid! It would seem to me that if there were a nuclear incident, it would be better to evacuate, than to just sit there and take a couple of pills and think "OK, now I'm safe".
I'm sure one of the first products will be an adapter that plugs into your USB-C jack on your phone, and provides a 3.5mm audio jack for legacy headphones, *AND* a USB connector for charging. No worries.
Or, you could use bluetooth headphones or speakers.
What is that supposed to mean, "Apple only has individual apps"? Are they supposed to have collective apps? Many functions crammed into one app? How difficult would that be to use? One app that contains your phone dialer, address book, calendar, calculator, notepad, web browser, email, text messaging, etc. That would be STUPID! Nobody would do that!

It shouldn't be too hard. They are just oversized weebles. Knock one over and roll it towards your van.
Jeez, just run up a few stairs... You'll be fine.

Does anyone have an example of a Sourceforge project that has malware in it, so we can see the warning notice first-hand?

Earlier HTC phones had the FM tuner enabled. The HTC droid incredible 2 for example.

Just to be safe, they should probably also kill Peter Norton.

The video shows the robot entering the stomach and grabbing the battery.... Well, THEN WHAT? There are two ways to leave, up or down.
Great. Then thousands of people could be violating FCC regulations due to ignorance or stupidity. Terrific idea.
The next time my state government runs out of money and "shuts down" would be a good time for a coup.

...for the same reason that Tom Cruise hates that cereal box.
The date on the tweet is April 1st, so I don't know if I can believe it.
Maybe that's why he exclaims "My joints are almost freezing up"!

..and if they heard you call them "idiots", they would kill you where you stand.

...And why are so many of them "Square Dance"?
