This is something I don't understand. The USA - the technically most advanced country - still is not able to put powerlines underground. Why??? I can understand that this is too expensive over long distances, but in cities and small towns?
If I can get a high-end Lumia and have Android, that would be amazing.
That 41MP camera is amazing. I like the Nokia quality. I would be interested, and many people with me I think. Is this the first sign of common sense since Ballmer is gone?
How about you stop hiding away and come out to answer the charges against you? You can stay there for as long as you like, but don't expect us to listen to any terms you dictate.
So tell us, Anonymous Coward - why should be listen to you?
If that's all it takes them to keep going, well, why'd I complain? It's one more browser to choose from and competition is by definition a good thing. If it becomes actually invasive and if it replaces my frequent pages with their spam pages... NEXT!
Next?
Next what? IE? Chrome? Opera???
I hope Firefox doesn't become adware. But I don't mind them using those tiles for ads, as long as they don't track what I browse.

Picture a pretty young woman with curly blond hair, and then imagine she is president of Slashdot?!?! How is this possible? Where has the world gone to?
The question asked in the summary is whether Firefox is now safer than other mobile browsers, because of this addon. Firefox is for me the default browser on desktop and phone, because I trust it more than Chrome or Safari or IE.
JUST STOP THAT FUCKING THING. NOW! Or is nobody out there listening to what the users are saying??
First thing I do is scroll down and click on the classic link. I don't mind if they move over to another platform, but please keep this layout! How difficult is it to offer both?
German newspaper Der Spiegel reported that documents leaked by Snowden show that the GCHQ used a method called “quantum insert” to redirect employees of Belgacom, Belgium’s largest telecommunications company, to fake websites that contained spyware. The program targeted higher-level employees that had “good access” to Belgacom’s infrastructure.
There are hundreds of millions, nay billions, of dollars at stake every year gambling on the superbowl. Bookmakers in vegas spend literally millions of dollars computing the odds to a much deeper degree than this foolishness in the summary, and even they are not even close to 100% accurate.
If the bookmakers in Vegas can not guarantee their predictions, neither can Wolfram Alpha.
Good to know that the security will be impervious to attack. and that police will never make a mistake when using it.
Seriously though Germany (which runs the EU) is reverting back to its Nazi roots with every piece of privacy busting legislation.
No offense mate, but the Germans are the only ones to be trusted in this regard. They - the people - are the only ones who take all this shit seriously and who are willing to protest, and they make a difference. I'm Dutch, which is supposed to be liberal and we always pretend to stand up against injustice, but in reality most people here don't care.
Let's just say that the city has a long history of not dealing with snow well, and leave it at that.
Five years ago we had one snow storm that shut down the country mostly over here. It was the first in a long time and nobody was prepared, with people stuck in their cars for 15-20 hours, entire highways filled with cars which couldn't move anymore. Now we get weather warnings that mostly can be ignored because too often it turns out to be nothing serious, and people complain. Train schedules get cut down by half, because otherwise 10% of the trains might get stuck somewhere, or one in five years we might have a serious storm and people get stuck for half a day.
In other words, if that wheel is too small and you spin it too fast (to get to that 1g you want), you'd be nauseated to the extreme.
I don't have the exact numbers in my head right now, but I do distinctly remember that the required size was somewhere in the vicinity of "friggin' huge" to avoid such a fate.
Friggin huge - that reminded me of Friggin the riggin by the Sex Pistols. This seems to be a drinking song known as Good Ship Venus. How appropriate!;-)
Thanks for the tip! Download version 8 and keep those install files backed up for Windows, OSX and Linux. If they disable the servers for these versions, well we'll see what to do then. OpenSSH and port forwarding, plus manuals with good screenshots how to set this up is a good start.
So, assuming I want to be hipster should I: - use NSPR, because it was available before reusing browser base libraries went mainstream or - use Chrome library, because really cool guys use Chrome rather than Firefox ?
As hipster and nerd, you should DYOFF (Develop Your Own Fucking Framework)!
Genuine question - where are these devices? Has any physical evidence of them been detected? Has anyone found one? I'm not sceptical that they did it, I think it's entirely possible. I'm just curious if there's any physical evidence that's been found yet...?
Intel Core vPro with anti theft capability? I read a while ago that these processors have a complete OS on board, with working GPRS, but I can't find that article anymore.

Now Ballmer is gone, will MS make the right decisions? This one could be the first sign of common sense at MS since a long time.

Aim them at a plane :)
Better make sure your annoying neighbour does it. Then alert the FBI. Profit!
It will be used against you. Next "bigger" protest they will kill switch the entire area. Record away ...
I wonder if it will be possible to kill the kill switch somehow. Will this be hardware enabled, or a software setting?

How about this? Edward Snowden Reveals 'Quantum Insert': NSA And GCHQ Used Fake LinkedIn And Slashdot Pages To Install Spyware?!?!

Sadly for you, you cannot guarantee that either!
This seems to be the time to start signing my email with GPG/PGP.
i think i'm in love with this women.
Steal a car and make sure it is at prime time!

LiveDrive
WindowsDrive
or have they finished burning those brands to the ground?
DriveBy could be another name that will end all these problems for them.
What could Jade Rabbit teach us that wasn't already learned by Kim Jung Il during his trip to the moon?
How we can keep him there next time!
"Hear, hear" actually. Think about it, what could your version possibly imply?
That the Chinese should take us seriously! For once!
They sure won't be upgrading to paid customers now, though. Not after being cut off within a day.
They sure didn't upgrade to paid accounts in the past, though. Not after using those services for years.

The doomsday clock is what inspires people to keep proclaiming this to be the year of Linux on the desktop.
As long as the clock runs on Linux... Think of what could happen if this was powered by Windows. Clippy...
