I can block MS IE from accessing the internet. Is that not all that I require?
I uninstalled Chrome as soon as I saw what it was doing with the URL bar. And then, I started getting notices about GoogleUpdate (updater?) wanting to connect... even after uninstalling there were spyware bits floating around on my computer. I was almost amused that it comes with a "stealth-mode", but phones home incessantly - don't store your stuff on your computer, store it on ours.
Digging deeper into TFA, I see that this ctrl-tab was someone's add-in that got included, because one of the developers ("user experience designer") liked it.
I can only say it is a real shame that no-one has noticed any of themousegestureadd-ons and would like to incorporate mouse gestures and wheel-based tab switching natively.
Disclosure: my main browser is Opera. I do use Seamonkey and Firefox (as well as other browsers). I currently use Firegestures, and have used Optimoz and "All-in-one gestures" in the past.
It would be interesting to have a similar experiment for the Piraha. Put large amount of stones in pot, take out large amount, ask if any are left. (For non-Piraha [do they have a word for foreigners?]: put 20 stones in a pot, take out 18, ask for number remaining in pot; repeat with other "large numbers".)
Project for non-Piraha: explain to the Piraha the ultimate answer, its question and why base-13 isn't funny.
Not from what I understand of Phorm. You'd need to browse over encrypted connections so that the ISP hosted proxy can't (literally) read your email. (Or your visits to/. or lolcatz or whatever.)
Their demo page surprised me. I didn't think that stuff would work. If the add-on stops that from being exploitable, it is a good thing, even if it doesn't prevent MITM attacks.
I blame digg - every third posting there is a list of [some number, usually less than 20] [reasons for/reasons against/top/bottom/sexiest/...] something. I didn't read TFA - is there a PROFIT! on the list?
I believe the question was - who is paying the president to campaign? I think the answer is his political party, or if you're feeling vicious, various third parties who want to have political influence. Whether it is the incumbent, predecessor or successor is somewhat irrelevant, other than using the current president to be topical.
This question isn't answered by the link posted. That merely says that this activity isn't a prohibited one for the sitting president.
Canada doesn't have the asininely massive ballot slates they do in some locales. Federal, provincial and municipal elections are held at separate times and voters don't have to pick so many positions at one time.
Having counsel at times and what advise they give is sometimes not in the best interests as was this case...
I'll excuse the really poor English, as this presents the idea that your lawyer(s) might be doing or suggesting things that are not in your best interests. That concept doesn't always get through to some companies.
It's also the easiest policy for bookstores as well. If you're younger than 18, you can't buy anything here. Move along.
Library cards would be a form of proof-of-age. (Yes, I see that there are exceptions to the law, likely including libraries, and you really need to be 21 to be considered a full adult in Oregon, but that doesn't add to the joke, does it?)
It's getting harder and harder to tell the difference between subterfuge and sheer incompetence.
I think there is enough of each to go around. I wouldn't worry too much about which is the main cause, as both are involved. If you need to blame one, just pick the one that best suits your mood. Do you want an incompetent government or a corrupt one?
Google now replies "about 7,120,000" when the same query is sent. Oh, and that would be URLs, as a single page may have more than one URL that addresses it. (I.e more than one path by which Google can reach it.)
Think of the other Strormbot researchers they've potentially messed up... this could be an ethical problem if they're preventing other people from working on the worm.;-)
Off-topic as all heck, but H Beam Piper's future histories had references to this. Both for food and tissue grafts. (Okay, the reference is buried in this one, you'll have to look.)
Well, slightly higher in the wikipedia page referenced is a section on accidents. Count the number there. I think the most infamous was Soyuz 11, where the interior was vented to space.
It's rather a case of "we make them rugged, 'cause we got a lot of other problems we have to overcome."
I don't know. The book came out some time ago, so maybe there was a press release about it? There do seem to be a lot of stories in the media about this.

Proven? It failed. I'm not sure that's the horse you want to hitch your cart to.

I certainly would not want Chrome preinstalled.
Interestingly, Opera gave me a "pop-up blocked" message on TFA site. (washingtonpost)

That would have been a card that read Olympia! Where else would they hold the Olympic games?
The article is dated tomorrow. NYT needs a device for calculating time more precisely.

Suppression is one of the ways of getting that ...

Semen Semenov (SciAM article) got teased as a kid?
"You are #9570 Smartest Human in the World
Enter you real name or use username that we picked for you"
9570th smartest hooman uses POSSESSIVE pronounz - does not use articles ...
It's okay for a diversion, as long as you realise that it is a bunch of crap.
You shouldn't assume my nationality that quickly - you got it wrong, BTW.

Exactly, clean wholesome ditties like Gulliver's Travels.

Can he get the prize posthumously?
