I think they have a great concept. Let's enforce similar on legislators - any harm done by anyone in their jurisdiction while they're in office, they should be held personally liable for.
Here's your 3270, er, "pad." You can do whatever you want by connecting to our mainframe, er, "cloud." We'll send you a monthly bill for cpu time, er, "AaaS."
It used to be Google called stuff "beta" for long after it was in widespread public release. Now, they're calling stuff that's not feature complete "beta." Nope, that's "alpha." Someone should tell them how it works.
Yep, the summary sucks, as does msmash, who should have ensured that a summary about ifixit's findings would have at least one link to ifixit, and not lame ones to cnet and past/. articles.
"Taiwan" is the Republic of China (RoC). The article is more easily understood by knowing about the history, going back to the 1950's. Communist/socialist/dictatorial China (PRC) wants to own RoC/Tibet/south sea ("nine-dash line"). Fuck them, none of those are legitimately part of them.
It's "jif". And for bonus points, it's also "jiggabyte" (giga has the same root as gigantic, rock stars have gigs). Extra-special points for "multi-medium" instead of "multimedia", unless you think "multiparts forms" is proper English.
"The level of cesium-137, a byproduct of nuclear fission, in seawater was just four-tenths as high as traces of the isotope naturally found in the Pacific Ocean."
So, that's saying there was a reduction of 60% over previous natural levels.
I suspect they meant to say the levels increased by 40%, but innumeracy.
Not surprising from Google, who insists on encoding even plain text messages as (would have been) shown above, base64. Hell, even/. won't let me post what Google would send -
Lameness filter encountered. Post aborted!
Filter error: That's an awful long string of letters there.
And,/. is right. Google is full of clueless Internet noob lameness.
"The problem is that, were I to follow this time, I'd be getting up at 1am local time (6am UTC), working from 3am to 11am local time (8am to 4pm UTC), and going to sleep at 6pm local time (11pm UTC). "
You're obviously not clear on the concept. If you currently work 8-16 local time, which is offset -5 from UTC, a change to UTC simply means you would work 13-20 UTC.
How can you possibly argue that you'd work 8-16 UTC when you don't now?
Get your vote for what? Spinning some false claim about belonging to a group which existed long before he was born? He wasn't part of the "oldest group of computer hackers," unless he went to MIT in the 1960's, at least a dozen years before he was even born.
"Extended daylight in the evening is also better for kids..."
But think of the children being raised by idiot legislators who think they can control celestial movements. There's no such thing as "extended daylight" due to a change in wall time. The sun comes and goes as it will, laws can't change that.
The people running the show? "Academy Awards of Merit shall be given annually to honor outstanding artistic and scientific
achievements in theatrically released feature-length motion pictures,..."
Although, I guess you could say call them shills, but that would be begging the question.

"Nice to see the Democrats showing some balls."
I look at the announced Dem candidates, and calculate an average of only 1.4 balls per candidate.
same as the old boss.

Like any good "liberal", Zuck want the government to pay for the problem he's created.

Even plain old HTML is wrong in email.

Sure. Life is chaotic, and Cringley hasn't been relevant since the 1980's. Two articles about "him" in the past two weeks. Slashvertisement!

1337 haxor, more like.
Find a boss who'll let you work 8-4 in the summer instead of 9-5.

'nuff said. Fuck them and there no good "promises."

If they can do one, doing more isn't news, it advertising.
Unless the study is done in winter, in Scandinavia, that is.
They're just following the Facebook playbook. "Tell them we'll stop, and maybe they'll believe it, forget about it, and leave us alone."
Does that make him a California Raisin?

Ah, you you and Spielberg agree - the Oscars have nothing to do with honoring art, it's just about marketing and sales.
