Stop using the service then. Seriously. If something is that insanely bad then just go without.
That's the equivalent of saying "TV commercials are annoying, so stop watching TV at all." That's not a solution to the actual problem, that's just hiding from it. I love the actual service, I just find the intrusiveness of the commercials unnecessary( and counterproductive to the purpose of commercials i.e. to convince me to buy a product)
Now that I exclusively use online streaming services to watch television shows, I find the commercial volume issues there are far more irritating than I ever experienced on actual television. Spotify is the worst culprit, since it PAUSES the commercial if you lower your system volume. You cannot even avoid the obnoxiously loud commercials there.
I've been an avid user of Google Health for a couple years now. Since the decision to end the service was announced, I've attempted numerous times to find some sense of replacement from HealthVault. HealthVault is a great service, but its hardly equivalent. For instance, HealthVault is merely a storage system for your raw data, and to view it or continue to keep track of it, you have to utilize other services (such as through the Mayo Clinic) with which HV interfaces to manage. It has a lot of possibility, in that you can utilize many specialized services from many different places, however it fails at keeping the experience seemless. You always know that you are leaving to a new site, and often times go through redundant logins and registrations.
Google Health however kept everything restricted to a couple pages. Your blood pressure measurements, weights and other vitals were displayed in concise graphs The greatest strength of Google Health was its stripped down visuals and your ability to create your own trackers for virtually any metric. I used it to keep track of my migraine headaches in hopes of finding a trend which would reveal possible triggers. Some of the services, such as the Mayo Clinic's personal health manager, which use HealthVault offer similar customization, but they are very stripped down, the interfaces are clunky and, once again, it takes an annoying amount of log-in's and desperate clicking to get into the service.
I wish Google would just release the source, so that someone else could construct their own version. I for one would. I loved it.
The story doesn't make any sense -- why would he be smuggling bicycles?
Actually, this is derived from a true story told by the Guardia Civil in the Spanish Basquelands.when the government was truly cracking down on their trade. I forget at what point in their history this was, it may have been after Franco's death. However, the Basques were only allowed to bring so much over from the French Basquelands and so some boy would go over every day and return with a small bag and every day the Guardia had to let him pass since his imports were clearly for personal use. They never noticed he was leaving on a rusted, crappy bike of sorts and returning with a new one.
Assuming they can actually go 52 miles at the top speed of 62 mph, this means the buses can keep moving for about 50 minutes, and then they need to spend 30 minutes recharging. So it effectively takes 80 minutes to go 52 miles, under the assumption of fast driving on the freeway with no stops, which translates to a speed of 40 mph.
In a long distance race, anything which can average more than 40 mph will beat these buses.
Large urban cities would not allow the possibility to drive 52 miles in that amount of time. Cities are very condensed, filled with hills, traffic signals, and a lot of braking. Not to mention its engine doesn't require electricity like a car uses fuel while idle. A conservative estimate probably would give a bus half a day in Seoul. We are not talking about a Greyhound bus service across the countryside.
An irony here is that about a month ago, Facebook refused to take FireDogLake's 'Just Say Now' pro-cannabis law reform ads."
Why is that an irony? Facebook as an entity has much more to lose in political backlash if it even hints at supporting such a, albeit unnecessarily, hot topic such as marijuana legalization. Very few people give a damn what a single person does with their own money.
Seriously though
Apple recently stopped producing the 160 gig iPod I've come to rely on. My music collection (and videos) takes up far more than the 120 they've left me with, and I fear to god everytime I pull out my ipod for fear of breaking it.
Would it be so hard to allow you to pay a fee for Apple to fit your iPod classic with a bigger hard drive? It can't be harder than refurbishing one, no? With the increased sales of videos and movies, I imagine more people will run into the problem of "space".

The naming is awkward, I believe the term "polarized" is more correct when refering to these kind of glasses, Polaroid leads to confusion.
While modern day English uses an apostrophe to indicate the possessive, it wasn't always the case. It evolved from the English genitive form, which looked like either "-his" or "-es" (and a few other variations) depending on your location.
So to say "The stone's" it'd be "stones" Or "stonhis". Eventually the h was lost (H's are are common to be dropped, they don't sound too much) and the ' replaced the "i" in the written language, as little written aid. So in a sense it is still to indicate a missing letter.
Good point. Perhaps there is simply no way of legitimately determining what the underlying platforms are. There are so many webservers out there that maybe the whole notion is bogus. As far as I can tell, discovering which platform is in use wasn't really what was being discussed and there doesn't seem to be much, if any, problem determining what a given site is hosted on.
What I saw as the focus of the GP and GGP was about whether or not it was more accurate to base the statistics on IP address or per website. I say the latter because as stated on IP address can host a few sites. So by finding out the web server per website you're getting an accurate view of which is being chosen more for web hosting. It doesn't matter how many Linux or Windows server are out there, it's which one is being used to host the most sites.
On the other side, the pirate bay in Sweden is still legal... do one need to understand that kind of logic? Maybe this poor blog should just relocate their server to the United States to avoid the Swedish laws then.
Not to mention 'somehow' the entire album actually is available for download. Most major torrent networks already have it with many 100kbps seeds uploading since yesterday. This isn't the work of the RIAA. This is Trent Reznor, a man decently known for not following the rules.
What makes you stupid is posting lies on your news site just because it's "April's Fool's day" or something of that sort.
Last time I checked the whole April Fools articles has been a tradition here on Slashdot and most members here are well aware of it and, dare I saw, enjoy trying to sort out the real articles from the fakes. Do you expect the complete truth out of the news anyways? Or on an internet news site?
Its a real shame what G4 did to that channel. I learned a lot of my knowledge from the hayday of TechTV with Call for Help and The Screen Savers. Not to say it didn't have entertainment. Did anyone else remember Unscrewed with Martin Sargeant ? It was my favourite channel, now I make sure to skip right past in not to send myself into an emotional fit.

Except in this case, an employee of a National Lab is NOT a federal government employee in any way. The labs operate as contractors.

Notice the URL. Notice who posted the article.
I know it is a page from the poster. But the page content doesn't match the link text.
Exactly. It seems to me it was a quick throw in to get traffic to his site. A link obviously unchecked in the editing process.

I was curious to from where this quote is from? I'd really like to read the read it in context, unless it was just an off hand quote. Thank you.

Otherwise, he would have easily guessed, that I like Canadian women.

AFAIK, Longhorn is still the name being used for the server version of their new line.
Um, no, it means he's a Republican. He's a politician. They do that for politicians
Do you want a fermicrowavator that you can set to 30 seconds?
Yes, yes I do. And if you are ANY american you will want one too.
