Rape and death threats over pushing for a woman's face on a banknote?
No, not "a woman's face" -- the queen makes the occasional appearance on UK bank notes. It's about Jane Austen's face. It's understandable. I would not be surprised if half (or more) of the death threats came from women. Who should represent UK women on a bank note? Do you really think she's the best of the best the UK has to offer?
Also, I wish I could think up something clever to say about Feline Herd package management. Something something pussies package blah blah. You do the work, I'm lazy.
How about "Antiquated extensible editor leaps with both feet into the 1990's by providing package management"
I think that the he's dead remark is about the brigadier. The actor that played him died in February 2011
a) The actor is dead. b) It wouldn't exactly be the first time a different actor took over a role in the series now would it?

Claire Perrys comments may be libellous, as the UK has a more extensive libel law than the US. Fun, games and large legal fees may be forthcoming.....
A recent example can be found on Twitter remarks by Sally Bercow, which cost her lots of legal fees and a substantial settlement. The irony of Claire Perry getting whipped in court over a freedom of speech issue would cause a massive outbreak of schadenfreude across the UK.....
Can you hover on an iPhone? I notice most Android email clients allow you to long-press a url to see the target, but it's not as fluid as it is using a mouse with hover.
iOS is the same, long-press to trigger a menu that also reveals the actual URL. I do it all the time, usually right before I delete some spam.

My Dad's 68, has a Phd. in Metallurgy and a masters in Physics. He's been using PCs for 30 years (and mainframes before that). I have yet to watch him follow the instructions "type into the address bar" successfully on the first try.
My step-mother actually programmed mainframes in the 70's, to get to any website she starts at google... When I visited them last month I had to remove three different search-toolbar addon/trojans...
What surprises me is that they both understand the difference between IE, Firefox and Chrome. They figured out by themselves that they could share a single windows login most of the time if they used different browsers.
I don't know how ordinary mortals manage to be productive with computers without techie angel following them around.
Yup, the amateur hour OS on nearly every supercomputer on the planet, powering most smart phones on the planet, and so many myriad other devices its staggering.
Amateur hour at its finest -- owning the planet.
That's now competing head to head against "professional" operating systems on every platform imaginable and actually winning in mobile, server and supercomputer.

Only dopy liberals keep using the term Misogynist, its really hard to take you Srsly.
Let's play "spot the self-identifying comment".

Understandable? DEATH THREATS?
What freaking planet are you from?
Just about any android phone doubles as a "PC" in the same sense. Canonical is an also-ran.
Your average phone does not have 4GB of RAM... so no, it's not the same.
Yes, Canonical is an also-ran. However, any competition is good and what they're doing is a million times more relevant in 2013 than freaking Emacs.
Also, I wish I could think up something clever to say about Feline Herd package management. Something something pussies package blah blah. You do the work, I'm lazy.

It lets people be elitist and factional, of course.
Ah yes.... still using Emacs in 2013 is elitist. Of course.
Is that same way that providing universal healthcare is elitist?
Canonical crowdfunds 7 million dollars in 7 days to build a phone that doubles as a PC and Slashdot has Emacs headlines.
ffs

Point c) above is legaleze for "suck my balls", so d) is redundant.

Quis censor censores?
Sorry bro, he dead.
Again? We're going to run out of actors at this rate.
We're fighting the Cybermen, of course. They want to 'upgrade' us and we don't want them to.
Dammit! Where's the Doctor when we need him?
Someone fetch the Brigadier quickly!
Ka-Blam?
I can neither confirm no deny that.
Nutritious Hostess cupcake?
Luxurious Toyota Prius?
Tasteful Miley Cyrus wardrobe?
Ugly iOS device?
no buy

Rendering 10% of Tumblr invisible is an improvement and a great start. Please get to work on the other 90%, too.
Exactly, I was going to say "And nothing of value was lost", but I think you captured it better.
get out of the basement you fucken looser
I say, go TIGHTER!!
That's what she said?
Yahoo financials are here.
2013 second quarter is here
Note that under assets in the balance sheet there is a line item for "Investments in equity interests"
And that in the statement of income there is a line item quite separate from income for operations: "Earnings in equity interests"
It's all very clearly laid out if you bother to do your homework.
And yes there will be a quiz this week.
Mayer has a proven track record in industry, what do you have exactly?
there is no way this is legal to report in the USA as revenue
> Yahoo earned $846m in cash by redeeming its shares in the group, representing a significant chunk of Yahoo's $1.07bn revenue for the quarter
It's income from investment, it should be in a different line from other forms of revenue in the quarterly statement.
