While I am not entirely happy with this move, my sincere hope is that Google will improve its YouTube app, both on desktop/Chrome and Android with addition of a feature that lets the video remain visible as I browse comments.
This isn't so hard.
I have submitted many requests for this but they just seem not to listen, sadly.
The title, "How You Can Understand Animals and They Can Understand You" needs an edit to:
How You Can Understand "domesticated" Animals and They Can Understand You.
This is because he's only dealt with such animals and none from the wild. If he's up to the challenge, I welcome him to the Sahara, where coming face to face with some of its four legged inhabitants [without protection], immediately invokes the question, "Could you be my next meal?" in the animal's mind.
And party leader Sanjay Singh has said he also wants paper ballots for all future elections, arguing "All foreign countries like America, Japan, Germany and Britain have gone back to ballot paper."
I am very disappointed by this statement from a leader who I am sure is held in high esteem by a sizeable chunk of the population.
So, according to him, Indians should simply follow the west like a trailer? Really? Next should be copying the lifestyle the west has, the problems that come with it. Think of the unhealthy food, high suicide & divorce rates and declining moral standards. Does the "traffic" ever go the other way? That is, the west learning from countries like India?
This man is an embarrassment to say the least. Anyway, I will leave Indians to determine their destiny.
Folks, I am still looking for Linux's worthy office competitor. To me, this means an application that can be scripted, an application in which business logic can be programmed. I have developed many such applications using VBA.
Once Linux gets something near equivalent to Office on Windows, I will bite.
And yes, I am aware of LibreOffice and the like if one simply googles them. None of what I have seen cuts it, unfortunately.
I am beginning to get concerned that a sizable number of innovations are coming from the "East." Not much from the "West" these days. I am afraid that we may become inconsequential in the next few decades.
Think...
High speed trains; latest mobile technologies; the public transit system in New York is [several] decades behind that in Shanghai; the Chinese recently flew their own manufactured passenger plane and have the AG600 - the world's largest amphibious aircraft.
But I am sure we can catch up if we dedicate resources appropriately.
"[M]ore than half the nation's primary- and secondary-school students -- more than 30 million children -- use Google education apps like Gmail and Docs...
Sad that the quality of our American classrooms' output still lags the last time I heard.
Are any Slashdot readers migrating their Cyrus-based services, or are there compelling reasons to chose it over the competition?
I must admit: I do not know much about Cyrus-based services, so can't speak to that.
I will however talk about GMail and my frustration(s) with it.
1: It's ugly and cumbersome to use by default. An Outlook-like interface has proven itself. To make GMail look like Outlook, one must install and enable some 3rd party add-on.
2: Email threads are a pain to follow. Their interface is just kind of complicated compared to proven solutions out there.
3: Lack of folders by default. I know one can use IMAP. But the key here is availability of something by default.
You may not be aware but if one is applying for a US visa, the granting of a visa is also dependent on whether this individual has *ever* been labeled or investigated on issues relating to terrorism by any entity, including foreign governments.
The proposed requirements would apply to visa applicants identified for extra scrutiny, such as those who have traveled to areas controlled by terrorist organizations...
This sentence should read...
The proposed requirements would apply to visa applicants identified for extra scrutiny, such as those who have traveled to areas controlled by terrorist organizations as defined by the USA.
Emphasis mine - Just to be clear since who a terrorist is to one entity, might be a "hero" of sorts to another.
Now, before I get crucified here, lets remember that the Taliban were once supported by the USA. During that time, some called them terrorists. What they are to the USA now, is well known.
The inability to independently have major site elements independently scroll. I want to read comments while still having sight of playing video. The same applies to related videos on the right.
With at least 200 million vehicles, if just 100 million of these become electric, I with about a quarter of them getting battery replacements, where will the spent batteries be kept?
Whole new homes in some Chinese subdivisions being built by robots!
The other day, from a distance, I saw a whole section of a shipping yard in Rotterdam entirely being managed by robots. I saw exactly 3 human beings driving around. This is in an area the size of 8 football fields and tens of thousands of shipping containers.
The company, which published a report on the subject today, defines these operations as government-led campaigns -- or those from organized "non-state actors" -- to promote lies, sow confusion and chaos among opposing political groups, and destabilize movements in other countries. The goal of these operations, the report says, is to manipulate public opinion and serve geopolitical ends.
I will never forget the then Secretary of State saying IRAQ had WMDs, leading to a war that has killed thousands and sown seeds of mayhem in Iraq.
They were not done. They then attacked one of the most prosperous Arab countries (read Libya).
They now have Syria in their sight...again to destabilize.
Whether this would have stopped the meaningless carnage I what I do not know.
I have not been a friend of FB, but they have my full support in this effort.
He worked long hours. He told his father and his wife that he felt immense pressure and stress at work, and was scared he'd lose his job...
Look , were all scared we'd lose our job. That's the nature of [most] work these days.
What I have learned in the west is that people do not really "enjoy life." They live to work. Laws surrounding how family matters are handled do not necessarily favor the male. These could all have had a hand in this.
I must say I am sorry for the family's loss. I also think we in the west need to take life easier a bit. It's not all about money. We should also understand that elsewhere in the world, there are folks who seem to be happier with much less than what we have here.
I know this, for I am well travelled. To conclude, let's not start blaming the employer right away. There's definitely much more to this than this piece says.
"Over the years we've realized that there are more capable email platforms out there," Verizon concedes.
I love GMail and I am sure Google wouldn't be hurt acquiring all those accounts.
My beef with GMail is in its "ugliness" by default, which makes one employ extensions to make it useful.
I love the way Outlook is laid out. In order to have this layout in Gmail, I need to use some experimental add-on!
Following an email thread is just too confusing. I am still learning how to use it myself...
I find Gmail colors too "bland" for my liking and options provided are a gimmick in my opinion.
Why can't I choose what labels are displayed on the left? I sometimes want to hide everything else apart from what has to do with email and to an extent, chat.
For Verizon, the demise of its email service is good riddance.

Folks, Linux will not cut it well for me and my colleagues till it has a "drop in" replacement similar to MS Office.l

Had it been a Russian spy satellite, the USA would be screaming "irresponsibility & recklessness" on part of the Russians.
Question is: Am I wrong?
I ask because just last month, Slashdot ran a story that 95% Engineers in India Unfit For Software Development Jobs...
I am personally proud of India. Didn't they launch some rocket to Mars at a much lesser cost as compared to the US recently?

Apart from duplicating that intro, the submitter would have been more informative if he/she told us who Intel supplanted back in 1993.
I now have to `google` this I guess.
I hate it for a different reason: -
The inability to independently have major site elements independently scroll. I want to read comments while still having sight of playing video. The same applies to related videos on the right.
To me, grade this as a C+
images of a new Surface laptop leaked to the web tonight portray
How exactly do all these "products-to-be" leak? They always "leak." What leaks exactly?
I have come to the conclusion that it's all part of an orchestrated campaign, for lack of a better way to explain it.
With at least 200 million vehicles, if just 100 million of these become electric, I with about a quarter of them getting battery replacements, where will the spent batteries be kept?
How about pollution?
Folks, be prepared for a toxic mess over there.

This is the fella who referred to the Android platform as: -
"...wild," "uncontrolled," and susceptible to malware."
And to iOS as: -
"high priced" and "highly controlled."
Question: Can anyone speculate as to what this Ballmer fella is thinking now?
I wonder what the headline would have been if it were US entities doing the same thing; with no fact checking by main stream media.
Think about all the lies we've been fed on all this time...
Especially if you consider that almost two-thirds of US navy planes can't fly.
Hope this administration can deliver on their [campaign] promise.

This should not be that tough. I am of the thought that anything electronic cannot survive the CIA and the like.
