It bothers me when people say something needs to be "flushed" or that we need to "start from scratch".
Realistically, rewriting the whole tax code or what ever isn't reasonable. There are lots of rules and exceptions in there that have been added for reasons based on the experience of the IRS/government/tax payers.
While it may need to be refactored, wiping it out and losing all that knowledge isn't a reasonable way to go.
Having been to both, the Avebury site is more interesting to walk around, but Stonehenge was a lot more interesting as a single point. In Avebury, the stones are so spread out that it's hard to get a good idea of the whole scale of the thing and how it was used.
The block content is like adblock. You can block any number of ads to start with, you only need to click on it if it's something new. For other stuff, you can just block javascript/plugins for all sites then make exceptions for the sites you want.
For example it has NOTHING similar to Adblock Plus and Noscript.
Except of course for the content blocker (right click on the page and select "Block Content" or just download a precreated list from the web). Or the ability to set javascript/plugins on/off for individual sites. I'm sure NoScript does some extra nifty stuff, but it's clear you didn't try Opera for very long.
Also, you seem to miss the point on page loading speed. It's not only loading pages fresh for the first time, but also jumping around in history and cached pages load much faster.
The article states that it "reacts flawlessly to user inputs", but it's still doing mouse emulation for the clicks and it looks like he has some trouble clicking on some buttons.
It's also very sluggish looking (despite the hyper music) which isn't too promising for something that's suppose to be a light weight operating system. Looks more like he just made a Chrome app for the iPad.
I saw that clock prototype the other day, it was kind of a disappointment that a clock designed to keep time for 10,000 years wasn't even running.
The difference engine on the other hand was quite impressive to watch in action, I hope that someone can create a working Analytic engine for display as well.
A clear example of the mis-information that it caused. The term "Death Panels" referred to the part of the bill that would provide end of life counseling to people - help them plan their will and funeral and prepare for the end of their life.
Probably more like Palin saying the health care reform with create death panels for old people, since that was a lie said for political purposes, not just entertainers.
I have a friend living around harvard that said people were opening the boxes with books from amazon (you know the ones that are obviously books) just enough to see the title, then putting them back. Guess even thieves have book preferences.
Microsoft Word even has an option to do that for you. Just tell it to underline passive tense and it'll tell you right away which sentences need rewriting.
I much prefer that style they have at Stop & Shop (at least around here) where after scanning the item, it goes down a conveyor belt under some other scanner that must check the size or something. No need to worry about items until they start piling up in the bagging area.
I'm happy when they provide me with police, fire, and health protection, schooling, public infrastructure, public parks, and the many other things they provide.
The ammunition shortage was a self perpetuating issue. Some people were afraid at the GOP prophesied apocalypse so they stocked up. Others may have thought they were sending some sort of message, but a lot of people saw the shortage of ammo in stores and thought they better get it quick because it was all gone (probably Obama taking it away).

I tried to RTFA in this story, but I couldn't find it. Is it that hard to include a link to a source?
It's easier to just make a hyperspace bubble that encompasses it - though you need to have enough power to get off it afterwards.
You can kill all javascript except for the sites you allow. Also, isn't NoScript a "third party hack" as well?

The balloon would need to stay very still for this to work, otherwise the slight differences would make the whole thing useless.
That would actually be an interesting use of the technology - just put one in the room and find out who voted for all those Yay/Nay votes they do.
In areas that it's mostly warm out and it doesn't snow, that's a great way to heat water. Doesn't work everywhere though.
More like if your grandmother took her computer in and they pressed [Yes] when the box popped up saying Windows will install updates.

That shouldn't be a problem in West Virginia
That's the default for the page - you have to click one of the links on the page to change things.
In Firefox/Opera, click the link in "If you're on Firefox, you can test the Location Services by clicking here. " and the map will change.

Better encrypt the locations of the airports and the schedules of the flights too.
google:
Track status of AC 31 from Toronto (YYZ) to Beijing (PEK)
Departed: 2:45 PM, Estimated arrival: 3:52 PM
Hm, I wonder where AC31 is ?
Well I'd rather they work on these issues in parallel than argue about immigration for a year first and work the issues in series.

It has its place, but using it all the time makes writing seem very wordy and overly complex.
Microsoft Word even has an option to do that for you. Just tell it to underline passive tense and it'll tell you right away which sentences need rewriting.
