It was a little addition to IE 5.0, that let you search from the addressbar by typing a short code for the engine you wanted to use, and then enter your keywords.
Example: "y Bueller" would give you the YaHoo! results for that keyword. It didn't have Google (because it was still very small and unknown back then), but you could always add extra engines. I still use that today with IE6!
The commission gets elected by the parliament. See also: the problems Barroso had when he proposed that italian guy in his commission. The European institutions are no different than any other democratic government. The only problem is that is parliament opposes one memeber of the commission, it has to oppose the whole of it.
Do the US vote who gets to be Secretary of State? Defence? DHS ? Didn't think so.
There's a lot of truth in what you write. I have sites and intranets running in PHP and ASP. These two languages are almost 100% translatable. It's the same!
Sure, functions are named differently, and PHP has more bells and whistles (it's true: "serialize" to name one), but anything that can be done in one, can usually be done almost then same way in the other.
Speaking of which, the LiveJournal infrastructure is a real gem! Brad did a good job building and maintaining that site. Have you ever seen those slideshows about the underlying infrastructure (servers, datalines, and such? cool.)
Come to think of it.
My (conventional) carkey today has such a feature. When inserted into the dashboard, there's communication between the car and the key to determine whether it is the right key being inserted. (and the "door-open, key-left"-alarm goes off when the key is close to but not in the hole.)
I knew a guy (disabled) who had this in 1984 (or so) in an old Mercedes 230D. I thought it was cool. He pressed a big black button to start his engine.
I like to lock the door when I get into the car. Is that also possible with your car? You make it sound as though it is not possible?
Yes, I am crazy: In the summer I lock the door the instance I get in. In the winter, I first start the engine. I need that power. And I admit it's a diesel: HDi.
I worked at a college library. We bought all our books at a local (big) bookstore, and magazine subscriptions at the same rate you get them. (Although, we did specialize in a field that has more expensive books and magazines)
Again, an interviewer that talks to Jimbo without knowing about Nupedia?
If it wasn't for all the trouble Nupedia had, there would never have been a Wikipedia. Larry Sanger wanted to do everything right in the Nupedia project, but when that sort of got caught in bureaucracy, he and Jimmy thought up a better, quicker, simpler system: Wikipedia.
I actually know something about visual or physically impaired people and their websurfing. Most of these people actually use Windows / IE with Javascript disabled.
The blind may be helped with a text-browser, this is true. And some already use these browsers. Don't forget that usually somebody else has to install those things.
Otherwise impaired people still see. Why would you take their pretty pictures away from them while we/they can still see them? These are people that have difficulty moving their arms/hands, or have no arms/hands. They use joysticks, laser-pointer-like equipment or straws to move their mouse. Disabling Javascript enables them to use their input device in an less-controlled manner.

You have obviously never heard of QuickSearch?

Would you not be able to -for some or most fonts- be able to fit 'il' into 1em?
g
il
b
e
r
t
If so, that would not be a good enough solution.
The real question is: is your license actually in that iPod? Or do you still have the originally bought file on your PC with the license in it?
This would allow you to buy 100 iPods and put those 11,800 songs (@99c) on each of then. Then selling for 799. Or in slashdot style:
1. Buy 100 iPods @ $200 = $20,000
2. Download 11800 99c files = $11,682
3. Sell the iPods @ $799 = $79,900
4. ??
5. Profit ! (namely: $48,218)
Loss for "the industry": 100 * $11,682 = $1,168,200.
You better not get sued for that scheme!
In conclusion: someone leaked a card, and they want to fire that person.
Sounds reasonable to me. If you get to work with secret information, you keep it secret. That's not so hard!
December 21, 2012 will be 13.0.0.0.0 in the Maya Calendar (knowing that 13 is used for 0).
So on this date, a new Era will start.
You could of course also copy your code to some other software, and add comments to it there, essentially making a developer's guide to your code.
Then you have both: small and fast code, and decent documentation as to what the code does.
Maybe people are so mad with it they're always yelling it: SPAM!
It is at least "suspicious" if you stole something from a few Target stores, and the maps all point to other Target stores.
But of course, it shows "intend", not evidence.
I may be wrong, but that huge button on the right "digg for stories" goes to a page with all the stories, "sort by: newest".

Why, down above the Windows key and between the shift and the W ! But you'll have to use Alt-Gr ...

Almost is the key word, of course.

Of course, there's the occasional hiccup. (See also: Blackout Analysis)

His code is hosted on SourceForge !
Still in planning phase, although there's a lot of CVS commits already.
Response.write "C++ is funny. -- VBScript."
DISPLAY "C++ funny? He's a dork. -- COBOL.".
We could go on like this endlessly

Apple !
So, are we saying MS is a "megacorp", and Google is not?

What if we define a planet as a "separate sun-orbitting object". Pluto would be OK, as are the other planets. But not those things in the Kuiper Belt.
GOOG is a public company now, so
"I don't know everything that is happening in my company"
simply means
"we have not issued the press release yet, so I am not making any comments here"
