In this case 0K is minus 272.15 degrees C-off by the decimal portion.
No, it's -273.15 C
Oh, and you can type the - sign. You know, this has been used to signify subtraction since the dawn of the computing age (... and even before). So, do you really believe that this sign was not present in the oldest character encodings such as ASCII?
The platonic kind of love, not the 'I want to have your babies' kind, so don't get any funny ideas.
I hate to break it on you, but the love you're thinking about doesn't lead to babies either in this case. Or do you really believe that there any girls here on Slashdot?
I hate to break it on you, but the minus sign is ASCII, and last time I checked, Slashdot leaves ASCII characters alone... But maybe you browser (or OS?) doesn't?
Unfortunately, in this case that wouldn't work. If google is badmouthing you, how would it help if you stopped using them, but everybody else still continued to use them?
Or if google is spamming you: you would like to stop "using" them (receiving spam from them), but you can't.
Why can't Google seem to moderate themselves effectively? You should be able to fill out a form saying "Google autocomplete is being mean to me" and Google decides whether or not it makes sense to remove said autocomplete
Exactly. And this should be a plain form, which you can fill out without having to get a google+ account, and without having to install boatloads of spyware onto your computer. When complaining about abuse, you shouldn't have to agree to more abuse...
Also, a manned e-mail address for general complaints and/or suggestions would help too. Currently, google is very hard to reach.
Yes, they probably would have many many mails sent to that address, due to their sheer size alone. But that same size should allow them to have the resources available to staff that email address appropriately.
Also, running a pen-testing tool on someone else's network without written permission is just a dumb move.
Actually, running a pen-testing tool is, by itself, not a dumb move (as long as a proxy is used).
But running a pen-testing tool, and the tell the owner of the network about its findings that is a dumb move. If you absolutely have to tell anybody about what you found, tell the press, not the owner of the network!
They're not auto-matic indictments, they're just keywords to narrow things down when say...
That's a given. This will flag the e-mails for manual review. But even though false positives will cause no (obvious) trouble for the sender and receiver, they will waste time of those people who are supposed to look for suspicious activity, and if there are too many of them, the system becomes useless...
More seriously, "cover up" and "grey area" can also happen in conversations about an event by a third party (which is in the news, or speculation about what the higher ups in the company might be doing, etc.). They do not necessarily imply involvment of the 2 parties talking. Other terms, such as "failed investment" might happen innocently among project manager, even if the failure was not fraudulent. Expect lots of false positives.
Some other terms ("special fees", "friendly payments", are more telling. Or rather: "were mor telling", until publication of this news item. Now they've been added to the vernacular of conspiracy theorists gossiping about fictive bribery scandals that their bosses might, or might not be involved...
Or the other way round: if you are lucky enough to have an indoor garage, and the car takes half the trip before the sensor's temperature drops low enough, and only warns you when you're almost at your destination... Useless...

The - is the correct way to express negativity, unless you are using word or wordpress, in which case it may end up getting mangled.
I dropped a "-" damn it.
see? there it is, the minus!
So no need to blame Slashdot for dropping a character which is plain ASCII...
I hate to break it on you, but the minus sign is ASCII, and last time I checked, Slashdot leaves ASCII characters alone... But maybe you browser (or OS?) doesn't?
-273.15
So, next time, be smart and use a browser which doesn't mangle your input! (pun intended)
Stop using their products.

I heard that they also make watches that record...
And, what counts as "duress"? Does threat of "lawful" prosecution count? Or only threat of physical harm?
... and what if the press finds out about this from "other" sources?
Not necessarily. Just think about it as of a ball bearing made out of oil droplets...
It has recently come to my attention that they are called walloons not whales. (not that it sounds any better lol)
Yeah, indeed. They are called walloons, and this rhimes with balloons, which is just another way to store wind power...
Yes indeed, in Belgium nothing is impossible! I guess the poor GPS simply wanted to get home!
You have the same concern when horse riding...
1) The patent is novel. I mean, who the fuck would've thought of this before?
Wrong
In an almost empty sauna, the 5 only guys who are there have lots of hot steamy fun together.
and could even be used to unveil authors of thesis papers or blogs who had taken to underground networks.
... a good reason to do it like zu Guttenberg then... Nobody will tie any of his underground writings to his thesis...

What? Does the secretary charge "special fees" and "friendly payments" for her "services"? She isn't moonlighting near the train station is she?
Yeah, that's why "call my mobile" is also one of the flag phrases...
