Seriously. The last thing FF needs is more features. They should be optimizing the features that are in there already, instead they're wasting time on useless crap like Twitter and Digg integration.
Until proven otherwise, it's safe to assume that all the Pandora shit behaves the same way. This includes the iOS app and the desktop app. What really pisses me off is that I actually paid for a subscription to Pandora.
If this was true, Open Source would have been dead years ago.
1: There are, in fact, large companies bankrolling it. Ever heard of IBM? RedHat? Novell? Canonical? Sun... OK, forget that last one.
2: See the other response, regarding the EFF. There are now a lot of individuals and businesses that depend on Open Source to make a living. If someone threatens that, there's a good chance they'll fight back.
First of all, you're confusing two separate conversations - the one in the car, and the one in the restaurant.
Second: the "Royale with cheese" bit doesn't count as product placement, because it isn't gratuitous. The scene works because everyone knows what a Quarter-Pounder is, and what McDonald's is. We learn something about Vincent: he's the kind of asshole who goes to France and eats at McDonald's. If he was talking about some fictional restaurant chain, it would completely change the tone.
If only there was a movie or show without product placement.
Quentin Tarantino makes a point of not doing any product placements in his movies. If one of his characters is shown buying a pack of smokes, or pouring cereal into a bowl, it's always a fictional brand. It's a shame that he hasn't made anything good since Pulp Fiction.
The device sells for $49.95, but if you want a refill of skin cells, that's $500. And if you buy refills from a third party, they'll charge you with a DMCA violation. It's a perfectly legitimate business model.
Some of FB's servers went down. Some paranoid Algerian guy, who may or may not have good reason to be paranoid, noticed this, and assumed that it was targeted at him personally. And a rumor got started.
So say the government lackeys . ..
Actually, I work for the Mossad. But I'm on vacation right now - the above post was for free.

There are different designs - some have a fixed rope, some have a single moving loop, some have a fixed rope and a moving rope, some have multiple loops connected in series. All this is described in the first couple paragraphs of the Friendly Article.

Actually, it seems like this would be more tolerant of bad weather. It shouldn't be affected at all by snow or flooding, for example.

No, we should do both. Whack Pandora to make an example of them, then find all the other marketing shitbags who are doing this and whack them too.

You can go in the winter, when it's cooler.

kids are usuallly something which gets done by teams of 2 people.
Imagine how much faster it would be with a team of 6.
That's right. There aren't any commercials in movie theaters either.
In theory, practice and theory are the same. In practice, they're not.
Sure it's possible, but I doubt it'll happen. It'd be a huge project, and I just don't see why anyone would need it that bad.
This is a review of 10 movies that the reviewer hasn't seen, because they haven't come out yet?
Who's "he"?
Blade Walker, Texas Ranger.

Yes, many people made bad choices in the 80s. There was much nakedness, and many red herrings being raised to cover it.
The Great British tradition of considering themselves superior to and different from the rest of the world.
Are there any countries at all that don't consider themselves "superior to and different from the rest of the world"?

Because then the terrorists will have won.

We should treat Assange just like Osama Bin Laden: first provide him with weapons, then spend trillions of dollars trying unsuccessfully to catch him.
Hauling the snow away also burns fuel. I imagine in some places the snow melters might actually be more efficient.
Didn't you have any problems dealing with the melt water? I would think that the water would just re-freeze when it runs off the heated part.
