They tend to choose very similar, rather nondescript and boring, names for different products, and then they tend to change those names into others, similarly nondescript and boring. It is difficult to keep track of what product is what this particular month.
That's because calling your new product the "Google Personal Information Tracker and Surveillance Device" is a bit of a giveaway.
President James Garfield was killed by older, experienced doctors, who ignored the "wash your hands before poking at wounds" nonsense espoused by the younger generation.
It seems unlikely that any doctor attending him is still alive to influence this study today.
Perhaps before approving a story with a youtube link someone could actually check to make sure the video is available in a reasonable % of the world outside the USA?
Indeed, the SJWs have taken over and it is now literally impossible for a straight white male to get any role in a movie or TV series. If there is a need for a character who is, in fact, a straight white male, the Studios just get a black lesbian to put on white makeup.
No. Twitter made $100m profit last year, which is over $100m more than 4chan and 8chan combined. So they are unlikely to swap their profitable business model for one which loses money, even with porn ads and malvertising.
Unless I'm misreading, Twitter made an operating loss of $367m last year.
Maybe they were using speech-to-text software? Even Dragon gets a lot wrong just reading text into speech, and software going the other way must also deal with background noise, etc.
Then maybe they should try reading their fucking post first before pressing "Submit"?
Fairly sure I could move to Ireland even post-Brexit, I'd easily get into Canada or Australia and if I had to I'd gamble on getting into most of Scandinavia, Iceland and New Zealand.
It depends on your job. Canada and Australia are OK to let you in if you have certain in-demand skills, but Joe Average can't just up sticks and move there and start work flipping burgers or whatever, last I heard.
I mean, he shares his name with one of the main leaders of the Taliban movement. What else should he expect, even if the Afghan Rabbani has been dead for 16 years, it's still best to make sure.
In reality, the reason is probably because he was the managing director of CAGE, which ostensibly is a civil rights organisation, but has been accused of being apologists for terrorism. Which ever is true, it's not going to be popular with the UK security services.
Say an organisation (e.g. Amnesty International) works on behalf of a prisoner who is being tortured. Does it really matter whether he is an innocent not-even-political prisoner or a convicted hardline terrorist?
It might damage the Tories, which I'd consider a public service.
The Tories will just blame it on Labour for not spending enough money on the NHS's IT systems while they were in power, and leaving them a coalition of computer chaos which only they can put right through strong and stable leadership and low taxes.
So you change the password and change the bank account, got it.
What I can't understand is why would a water company give you a refund?
Are they pre-paying for water? Usually you pay for the water that was used.
Maybe a difference in the UK?
Most people in the UK don't have metered water supplies. We may not own half the World any more, but one thing we're rich in is water. It's a bit different from living in Australia or California.
Energy/water companies here love to over-charge you by taking a ridiculously large monthly direct debit, then generously reducing it after a year or so once you've built up a hefty credit balance. I'm actually impressed this company has a refund facility at all.
There was no mention of the call centre's location in TFS, though. Because social justice.
More like, because it would be redundant. If you're in the UK and you're dealing with an overseas call centre, it's an odds-on bet it will be in India.
And in any case, what's the difference? An Indian scammer is no different than a Russia or American one.
no sane person will go on a one way trip to die there
There seem to be plenty of slashdotters who would, so either you're wrong or there are a lot of loonies on slashdot (pun intended). And you're not wrong.
It's idealism vs. pragmatism. I don't care what ideology you have; new companies like SpaceX are vastly undercutting NASA and its traditional private partners (Boeing, Lockheed, etc).
If someone wants to rely purely on free market capitalism to fund a manned trip to Mars, good luck to them. Presumably the fact that they have costed it and realise it would just lose them money is the main stumbling block?

2) Restore customisable contact lists: Individual ringtones appeared in 2005, yet smartphones don't support them.
You can assign a specific ringtone to an individual contact with Android, not sure what you mean.

Why do you hate the US's freedoms?
This is true.
the original star trek was nothing more than racial awareness propaganda
Yes, having one black woman character and one Asian male character was just early Political Correctness gone mad.
Star Trek? SJW Trek more like!

Whats sad is that Europe has gone so far left they actually think Teresa May is on the right.
Hey look everybody, it's an American!
I vote for smaller parties, UKIP last time.
You were doing really well, then you dropped the ball just before the line.
I was going to say something mean, but then I realised you live in the damp misty hills of Wales. You've enough to deal with.
The damp. The mist. All the pretty young sheep running away to that London to earn an easy living.

The dangers of 'self-driving' = dealership only service even for lights and oil changes Maybe even tires as well!
Who cares? I have as much interest in servicing my car as I do in tinkering with my fridge. None.
I'm sure you'll be allowed to play around with cars as a hobby if you really enjoy it.

Sounds more wintery to me.

Too right mate. It's why we voted for Brexit!
I thought it was about not having straight bananas?

I'm a bit confused about why the US is paying them $3.5bn a year though - I thought that was Saudia Arabia?
a colony that depends on regular shipments of fuel from Earth fails one of the very basic criteria of self-sufficiency
Duh, all we need to do is find a small asteroid made mostly of uranium, nudge it into orbit around Mars, then Bob's (*) your uncle.
(*) Robert Heinlein described this very scenario in one of his early science fiction works. Probably.
NASA to Buzz Aldrin: Whatever. You won't be going on it, Mr Did-it-second.
Out of a population of over seven billion humans, a total of twelve of them have walked on the moon.
First, second, or last, it's one of the most exclusive clubs in the history of mankind.
