That only pauses video and audio tags, it doesn't pause things like canvases (or misc DOM elements) being animated by JavaScript. JavaScript has one big flat namespace for every script in a page, so it's difficult to identify the bits of the script relating to an ad if they're not in an iframe (and advertisers don't want to put them in iframes, because then they're trivial to filter out).
The name didn't exactly change. Machines that did the job of a computer (i.e. perform computations) were referred to as mechanical computers and then as electronic computers. After a while, electronic computers they became so cheap that there was no reason to employ (human) computers and no reason to build (more expensive) mechanical computers and so the adjective was dropped because there was no longer a need for disambiguation.
The same thing has happened with the word 'camera' far more quickly. 10 years ago, people said 'digital camera' to distinguish them from film cameras. Now, film cameras are so rare that people just say camera.
Cameron is spectacularly good at hypocrisy though. Remember a few months ago, when he wrote to his local council complaining about the reduction in local services... caused by the 'austerity' measure that his government had pushed through to cut local government spending?
Two observations. First, there were, literally, around a hundred posts that were obvious spam (i.e. not even pretending to be news). There needs to be some mechanism to kill it easily. Perhaps people who have mod points are allowed to kill one firehose article per day (or even have one pop up on the front page and be asked 'is this spam?' - not is this good or not, just should this be rejected).
Second, it's hard to find the firehose. The only link to it is in the bar at the top that contains stupid messages that everyone ignores and it's only there sometimes. I had to refresh the front page several times before a link showed up. That's not a great way of encouraging participation. Again, why not pop one of the firehose stories onto the front page at random and ask people to vote for / against it?
They probably shut down because the MITRE's CVE database is pretty much regarded as the canonical database for all vulnerabilities, open and proprietary. I've not see a security advisory that didn't have a CVE number for a long time. I don't remember ever seeing one with a reference to OSVDB.
There's a difference between compelling people to do something that they would not otherwise do and compelling them to accept a group as customers that they might otherwise not accept. No one who is not already renting out rooms would be forced to do so, but if you're going to rent out rooms then you can't say 'no gays, no blacks' when you do. If Apple had provided breaking iPhone encryption as a service, then it wouldn't have been unreasonable to require that they do so for the FBI at the same rates that they do for everyone else.
Gold is a good conductor that does not corrode in air. It's incredibly useful for all kinds of electrical connector. If gold were cheap, we'd coat every plug and socket in the stuff.
I'm not sure they were a bad idea, the technology just wasn't quite ready. The range was almost enough, but parking was too hard. You want one with about a 30km range that can fold up and be carried. There are a few electric unicycles that are a bit closer (easy to pick up and carry, but still a bit heavy and with too short a range, and the added disadvantage of needing a bit more practice before you can use them).
3D printers aren't being hyped because 3D printers are new, they're being hyped because cheap 3D printers are new. You need to get a lot of use out of a $30K 3D printer for it to be worthwhile. At under $1K, you need to use it a lot less. Even without owning one individually, at that price there are a lot of reasons to have on in a shop that people can use to print one-off replacement parts. We throw away a huge amount of stuff because finding a replacement for the small plastic part that's broken is more expensive than replacing the whole device.
And what does it use for rendering HTML email? Is that going to keep getting security updates, as Firefox and Gecko evolve? Or are you going to be infected by the first malicious spam email that you open?
I don't think it was free, but I do remember a lot of machines coming with Works (which was a full integrated office suite, similar to ClarisWorks) and Word bundled as the cheap option (MS Office as the expensive option). Quite a few manufacturers did not offer a machine without Windows and a smaller number didn't offer one without Word + Works. You can be forgiven for thinking that it's free, when Microsoft has made it a condition of a discount on the OS licenses that the manufacturer bundle it with every machine that they sell.
Neither is Fastmail. They also provide calendar and contacts in the web app and with CalDAV / CardDAV sync. I run my own server for these things, but they look like a good option to recommend for my less technical friends.
Why? Let's say it's the probability is 0.7 of head, 0.3 of tails. The probability of head-heads is 0.7*0.7. The probability of tails-tails is 0.3*0.3. The probability of heads-tails is 0.7*0.3. The probability of tails-heads is 0.3*0.7. 0.3*0.7 = 0.7*0.3, so the probability of heads-tails is equal to the probability of tails-heads.
This assumes that the coin tosses are independent.
It's probably more random, but when you're using entropy for security the most important thing is whether an attacker can guess it. If it's completely random, then this is hard. If the attacker can influence it, then it's easy. If an attacker can send WiFi packets to you and bias your random number generator, then that's pretty bad if, for example, one of the things that you're using your random number generator for is generating TLS session keys to stop people on the local WiFi from snooping in your data.
Presumably they are free to set their own prices if working independently, but then they wouldn't be covered by Uber's insurance or booked via their app. I think the problem is likely to boil down to Uber's desire to have the drivers treated as independent contractors. 'CEO conspires with employees to set the price for services' isn't something that would make the news, it's what companies do. But if Uber is trying to pitch itself (to avoid being regulated as a taxi company) as a simple matchmaking service that pairs customers with independent drivers then also setting prices makes it look a lot more like a company that's offering a taxi service.
And then, a year or so later, once the employee has won the case for unfair dismissal, the employer has to pay a whole three months of the salary in compensation. And the employee who sued their former employer has to find a new job. Guess how easy that is.
Not particularly politely put, but that's exactly the core issue. If email is so important to you that you can lose your job if it does the wrong thing, then you should be using an email service with an SLA (or hosting your own in-house). If you're using email for business, then don't use a provider whose business model involves scanning your email.
I'm not sure about pepperoni, but I can buy everything I need to make a huge pizza (enough for two people to eat and feel that they probably don't need any other food for the day) with lots of vegetables on top for between £2-5, depending on the quality of the cheese that I use.
If you're on a tight budget, then a scone-based pizza is a very cheap way of producing a meal. The base is milk and self-raising flour, both of which are cheap (and often you can get milk very cheaply if you buy some that's going to go off tomorrow). You can make a reasonable tomato base from a tin of chopped tomatoes - squish them a bit in the tin and then reduce them in a pan until they're about half the size that they were and maybe add a small squirt of barbecue sauce for a little bit more bite. Coat with whatever vegetables you can get cheaply. If you sprinkle with some dried herbs and maybe some sesame seeds (again, you can pick these up very cheaply if you get them when they're reduced - they keep for ages) then you get a slightly more interesting flavour.
I ate quite a lot of these when I was a student. Making enough for myself and a few housemates worked out at about £1-2/person and left us all feeling very full at the end.
If you hit your thumb with a hammer, then it's your fault. If you cut your hand with a hammer designed by someone who thinks that razor blades are an ideal decoration to hammer handles, then it's probably the tool's fault. It's not the fault of the language, but it is the fault of whatever library you are using to handle the SSL connections if the simplest and recommended use of a library designed to establish a secure connection does not, in fact, establish a secure connection (or, at least, provide an easy-to-check error condition if it has failed to do so). If the language bundles this library as part of the standard library, then it's definitely a problem with the language.

In absolute terms, it's not much, but it's a 25% price hike. I'd be quite annoyed to find prices for anything going up by that much in a single jump.

I just took a look at the firehose, and every single one of the posts there is spam. Perhaps some automated filtering is needed.

Don't fly then. They take your fingerprints at the border anyway, so letting them have them a little bit in advance doesn't do much.
