If those computers have two-button mice, then replacing the mice with one-button mice might work. The single button defaults as "left-click", and if the OS is expecting a two-button mouse, it probably won't have a key&click combo to simulate a right-click.
I'd like to see a menu option that lets the user specify what type of line-ending is wanted. Upon making the choice, an open document would be automatically given a search/replace pass, to change all line-endings to the specified type.
It only works if businesses learn from it and act on what they learn. In the case of the lead article here, it is apparent that the greed of cable companies has now met the Law of Diminishing Returns.

My laptop has a screen res of 1600x900, but I don't use it. Instead I have it hooked up to two external monitors, one oriented landscape style and connected via HDMI port, and the other oriented portrait style and connected via VGA port. And each of those monitors has 2048x1152 screen res (Samsung 2343BWX). The laptop isn't able to drive its own monitor and both of those monsters, but I don't miss the laptop screen at all.
The story here is, likely, both a classic and a must-read for all AI researchers. Because even if no bug gets exploited, there could be other --and mystifying-- ways that an AI algorithm solves a problem.
Owning legal copies of music is cheaper in the long run than paying over and over again for streaming it. And one debacle after another, in the digital-music-storage industry, has made it clear that that type of ownership is not as trustworthy as owning hard copies like CDs or vinyl.
Nevertheless a simple conclusion is possible: Just start wearing clothing woven from metal fibers (see various classic science fiction portrayals of future clothing). Isn't it nice how we finally found something else that Hollywood actually "predicted" correctly (not the reason why; just the wearing)?
Actually, Global Warming has been linked to increased rainfall in many areas. So, if those areas build rain-catch/control systems, they might have enough to relieve the shortages of rainfall in other areas --places where both the rainy and the dry currently pull water from common reservoirs. There might not be very many such areas, but what I'm describing could be a decent start.
I'd like to point out that a considerable number of on-line graphic stories (and sometimes they are also very comical) have been published by their authors as dead-tree editions. Therefore those stories, at least, can be enjoyed either way. Some of them have been getting produced for enough years that multiple volumes are available, while the complete archive is usually also accessible on-line.

I'm wondering if they are taking into account the overall general increase in the total number of vehicles on the road. If someone leaves a major highway to try a back road, isn't that a hint that the major highway is full of traffic? So I'm interpreting this report as noticing that all the extra cars on the road are filling up the back roads, since the major highways are about as full as they can handle.
Regardless of the reporting, I'm interpreting the article as Samsung competing against Apple by offering phones of comparable capability that cost less to fix, because easier to fix (if only takes 2 hours). Some folks might switch because of that.
Quantum entanglement is real, but also seems to be really temporary, most of the time. Think about all the effort going into building quantum computers, which require quantum entanglements to be maintained in order to work. All long-lasting entanglements seem to require very special and very rare circumstances, compared to most environments in the Universe.
No, they talk arrogantly. Remember the classic claim that "power corrupts"? Well, there are more varieties of power than political power. Knowledge is power. Money is power. Intelligence is power, too. And it just so happens that in all four cases (including political power), the first symptom of corruption is arrogance.
Einstein is famous for more than just Relativity stuff. He got a Nobel Prize for some work in Quantum Mechanics (explained the photo-electric effect). He may also be famous for popularizing the use of "thought experiments" in physics --he's certainly famous for thinking of some very insightful thought-experiments, that guided his mathematical efforts. And he is certainly famous for promoting the notion that all aspects of the physical universe can be described by a few fundamental equations (even though the notion is still waiting to be proved true).
A handkerchief might still be needed, even for a petite sneeze. And I know for a fact that not every sneeze is necessary; Google for [ sunlight sneeze ] (brackets represent search box) to find out about how, for some folks, a sneeze can be triggered by nothing more than a change in light levels. I can also tell you (from experience) that sometimes a petite sneeze is inadequate, and a second sneeze might happen right after the first. It turns out, though, that multiple petite sneezes can be as effective (but less physically painful) than a full-fledged ordinary sneeze.
There is a much better alternate way to reduce a sneeze. Anyone paying attention will first notice an "about to sneeze" situation, and one aspect of that is an inhalation of air. All you need to do is close your throat to cut short the full inhalation. This can result in some temporary discomfort as your body continues to try to get air into the lungs, but the discomfort only lasts a moment because, after all, you are about to sneeze! Only now, because you restricted the amount of air involved, the actual sneeze can be legitimately described as "petite" --you won't have any reason to try to stifle it.
Regarding how to "close your throat", some practice might be useful. Start by saying "Ahhhhhhh", and attempt to break it into sections using throat muscles only (no tongue or lips). Once you are confident you can do that at will, you are ready --if you think of it fast enough-- to make all your sneezes petite.
Before you design a core, you need to specify an assembly-language instruction set. Here is one, with main features of 64-bit addressing and 128-bit data-processing registers (and 128 bits of data at every single address, instead of 8), which was declared Public Domain (last paragraph) back in 2001. Ahead of its time, it is now easily possible to build, and perhaps, because of progress in inventing new instructions since that time, should be upgraded to 256-bit data-processing (while still using 64-bit addressing, because we can expect to not need more than that for a couple more decades). Enjoy!
I just want to point out that human excrement counts as natural fertilizer, too. In some places it has been used for that purpose for thousands of years.
Even if the components of an alloy can be identified, that doesn't mean the alloy was one of those made on Earth. For example, aluminum and iron cannot be alloyed on Earth because of different densities of the two metals. But they can be alloyed in space, microgravity, just fine. Except no Earthlings are doing anything like that....

This might be a good time to mention dwolla dot com. A couple years ago they were offering an easy way to do small transactions with no fees at all. They might still be doing it, although they are not now advertising it as obviously as they were back then. So for anyone interested, it could be worth looking into.
The problem is as obvious as the last sentence in the main article above. All content needs to be available by an advertisement-supported model, essentially making it cost nothing (but some time) to the viewers. Most viewers don't suffer from the "time is money" attitude to the extent that they would prefer to obtain pirated ad-free content --and they generally won't suffer from that attitude if greedy content-providers reduce the amount of advertising associated with content, the older the content. In this day-and-age the delivery cost of existing content is very small, so once the production costs have been recovered from all sources (like movie tickets and pay-per-view and more), for a given item of content, only a few advertisements need be associated with the content, to continue to generate profits. It is that "few advertisements" which will eventually cause piracy to not be worth the effort.
