Simple... controlling governments ban satellite dishes.
Except that China and Iran have to allow their people some liberty, because they are already too free and used to all things free. It's a matter of controlling, in the sense of keeping a balance, not shutting everything down. Your "simple" is too simple.
That works for gmail, but not for searching, because for searching a get-request is used. That means that the search string is used in the URI. Although you cannot see what the content is of the page that google sends back, the search results, the search string reveals that it is about Tibet or some other sensitive topic, because that is not encrypted.
Yup. With smartphones and a car cradle, Tom Tom will be gone gone.
I'm convinced that TomTom can't survive with the models they make now. Smartphones with large screens can replace them, but only partly. I have a Nokia smartphone with a screen that's too small for use in a car. I don't even know if an iPhone would be good enough for me.
I think that navigation systems in cars will a standard feature like ABS or airco in the near future, and if TomTom doesn't get into that market, they're lost. But still their software could make it into the smartphone market.
Did you really miss the huge differences between three categories of people, cellphone users during the experiment among them, that were mentioned in TFS?
I don't know if this kind of distraction counts, but while typing this the Wild Norseman was talking to his mum on the intercom down from the basement.
The Dutch government has done the same, and I'm happy they did. They paid about 200 million euros, which is really nothing compared to the risk if the flu had really caught on.
So regular people weren't the only ones caught up in the sensationalism that is/was swine flu. Governments were hooked by it too...
The Dutch government ordered 34 million vaccines for 17 million people. They spent about 200 million Euro on this. Maybe half of that is used, the rest will or will not be sold to other countries. I don't mind that they spend this money. It's like an insurance, and 200 million Euro is nothing compared to the cost of having a hundreds of thousands people ill with the flu.
A flu that will kill millions of people is going to happen sooner or later. Now nothing serious has happened people are mad, but...
Yeah I think the Chinese government will now cease all property that belongs to Google, send all employees to work camps, and then will start a full scale war on the US. I mean, what do they have to loose? When Google is gone, China will collapse anyway, so they might as well go with a good blast.
You know, only yesterday on slashdot did I read a comment that said (in all seriousness) that there "are 11 kinds of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't". Facepalm indeed!
He wasn't using base 2, but base-hand, you know, the one that counts up to 1111111111. It's favorite among toddlers.
The reality is that there is one and only one way to combat terrorism against the US: stop training terrorists and betraying them.
Just stop training them! Stop training terrorists!!! How stupid can you be to trust someone that is by definition not to be trusted? Didn't one of your presidents say: "Fear nothing but fear itself"? But all we see is fear, well at least with Bush running the country.
Why not use Tor for search queries? Your gmail is obviously a different story, because using Tor wouldn't make much difference for Google. So set Opera or Chrome to use Tor, and you're set for that part.
That is absolutely correct. I tested prototype printers for about 5 years and I can guarantee that when you buy a printer, the cartridges that it comes with are half-filled at best.
Recently I bought an HP Photosmart Plus printer. They advertised that the cartridges were full, like the normal ones you buy separate. They had XL cartridges as well, which were 3x the size, for 2x the prize. So comparing to that, the cartridges were half filled.
He's already working on that. He recently introduced legislation that would grant the Attorney General the right to infringe on your constitutional rights without due process. He thinks the Federal Government should have the right to put your name on a list and take away your right to keep and bear arms without any burden of proof whatsoever.
What's wrong with that picture?
Nothing! How long would it take to put everyone on the list? That would be the biggest life-saver in the US. And it would be the biggest contribution to world peace since long.

What would be much better would be to tell China to use https://google.com..../

All european newspapers... And if you'd ever read any of them, you'd laugh at FOX news for the rest of your life...
Except for Italy, which has state-owned media, or is it the other way around?
There is a legend about a chinese who was such a great spy, he went so far to the west he returned in china.
Richard Nixon?
I think you mean J. Edgar Hoover. He went even so far west that he ended up in is own backyard.

Chrome is on the bumper of the car. Sheesh, haven't you ever seen an older model car?
Nowadays it's not called "chrome" anymore. We prefer "bling".
Insightful!

Shouldn't we be happy instead???
Google's expat employees are now out of China.

IPv4 doesn't die - it just runs out of available addresses.

The first link took me to a Rick Astley youtube video. Thankfully I was browsing with the sound muted.
It's the millennium bug!
On the eclipse side, there's also a plugin to embed VIM into Eclipse and even a plugin to embed Eclipse into VIM.
Don't you need Emacs to do that?
Will the executive anonymously quoted in the article be leaving soon [...]?
Let's just say he's singing soprano now.
Steve J.
His balls are served on a tablet to Sir Steve as his X-Mas appetizer.
Playboy article? I guess the real news here is that someone actually reads playboy for the articles. Who knew?
Naked girls, software, terrorists, fraud - enough to make a nerd reach new emotional heights.

Yeah but missing the harddisk is like destroying a weed plantation by bombing the front lawn.
Thanks! Excellent tip, just downloaded it.

Nokia has a home screen / work screen on some of their smartphones, without the need for any virtualisation.
Great! But that still requires a Nokia phone, and all employees have to buy Nokia. What if they want a Pre or Android phone?
That is absolutely correct. I tested prototype printers for about 5 years and I can guarantee that when you buy a printer, the cartridges that it comes with are half-filled at best.

Spoken like somebody with a large amount of money.
A few cans of paint and/or new wallpaper can make a big difference as well.
