A blind or visually-impaired person can get a friend, relative or trusted volunteer to go with them to the store, do the snail mail, write parts of checks, etc. I know because I do a lot of this stuff for my officemate.
I did a little critical thinking. I asked myself, "What's the story behind voice search? I don't know anything about it."
It turns out you have to click to turn on voice Search. They aren't recording everything by default:

What they do with the recordings and how long they keep them, I don't know.

I removed mine, opened a new tab and it was blank. I haven't restarted Chrome, so I don't know how long this effect lasts. HTH.

I'd MUCH rather use Notepad - not even Notepad2 or Notepad++, vim, pico, nano... anything put this hot mess. It adds in tags where you don't want any; it's the only HTML editor I've ever seen that blows up a page when you edit the source; and many, many more deficiencies.
I often joke that Apple is the Combine, the Universal Union from Half-Life 2 instead of the Borg. Why?
Well, they look cooler. Better design. There's the weird belonging thing. And there's whole transhuman aspect of owning an iPhone; You Become More Than You Were. Plus the people on the tech support phone line carry the title of "Advisor".
Full disclosure: I am an iPhoner. There are many like it, but this one is mine. I nicknamed it Stormbringer, for its power and soul-snatching capabilities (my own and many friends who covet the damn thing.

there's a feature which only comes with the Ultimate edition: "Work in the language of your choice and switch between any of 35 languages."
It's interesting that Microsoft, with all its billions, only supports 35 languages -- at a serious premium. Compare this to volunteer-based projects such as KDE, which has (admittedly varying) levels of support for over 60 languages. For free.
I'm all for subtle instruments delicately probing the deepest tornadic secrets; there is much to be learned.
But dammit, I want hardcore tornado pr0n! I want the money shots from INSIDE a big, nasty, mile-wide wedge twister! I want on good video, what Will Keller described when he was caught in one. Thermodynamic and microphysical data are great, but GIVE US THE PR0N!!!:D
I thought that the critics of this project were worried about the effects of COLLIDING the particles. Since that hasn't happened yet, this story is a whole lotta nuthin'.
Something better happen! I blew my life's savings on one of these getting ready for the alien hordes that'll come spilling through the gate they'll open!
...but how do we know all that steel and magnets and dry ice and whatnot isn't a smokescreen, and that there are actually 23 guys totally and colossally wasted on absinthe, yage and tincture of wobbegong adrenal glands, chanting the full text of Al-Azif... BACKWARDS?:D
The vast majority of investors should ignore the minute by minute blows of the market. At this time scale the market is literally a big roulette wheel. Virtually all day traders and every amateur who thinks they can reliably extract disproportionate gains out of the market long-term (i.e. more than they would by say, holding an appropriate mix of diversified indexes) are fooling themselves into making predictions on what essentially amounts to sheer randomness. Think I'm crazy? Do yourself a favor and read A Random Walk Down Wall Street and save yourself the decade it took me to figure out how the market works. You're welcome. Amen. I'm reading the original version of Graham'sThe Intelligent Investor. It teaches the mindset of the value investor - defensive or aggressive, and leaves no room in the mind for bootless, wild speculation. Graham taught Warren Buffett himself, and he hasn't done badly;-)
I only have a tiny bit of money directly on the stock market, because I'm spending a year or so building up a six-month rainy-day fund before seriously beginning to invest for the long haul. During that time, I'll be learning the basics of various methods of analysis, picking stocks, mutual funds, index funds, etc. This won't absolutely prevent me from making mistakes - anyone can and probably will goof up on the market - but it'll help avoid some mistakes.

It'd be nice if they'd build in the patch for bugs like this, which have gone on in multiple distro kernels for years: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/578506?comments=all
They'll find plenty of life in Vostok! Bwah-hahahahahahaha!

I mean, seeing how he's God and all, I'd think He can run as root all He pleases ;-)
You know it should =)
There's some around, well, you know...
It'd be nice if they updated it sometime.
It's a high level course for upperclassmen, one of the hardest there is. If anyone tells you they got through it, they're lying.

If it is a cylinder from Mars we need to nuke it immediately.

So what happens when you've got several thousand people trying to get on your phone's server?

This is amazingly cool footage. Hopefully they'll put the entire thing up.
That you are using an old operating system incapable of dealing with this new hardware is not the fault of nVidia.
There's
a FUCKLOAD
of problems that are I'll never buy anything with an Nvidia card in it again.
Try Laphroaig Quarter Cask, it's a beautiful malt, and is probably aged less than 12. The regular Laphroaig 10 is good, too.

I immediately thought of the sculpture, paintings and drawing of Hindu goddesses.
They are totally stacked.
Does this mean I'm tolerant of other faiths, appreciative of classical art of other cultures...or just a perv?
