Following links, I found this article, which says of 7.2M random sites, the highest single group was "adult content". Using 3.3M sites known to host malware, adult content was ranked 9th.
The moral: pr0n sites are safer!! Remember this when you surf.
Feeding chocolate to household pets (dogs and cats) is not a good idea, as the theobromine acts as a long lasting stimulant and can cause things like heart attacks. Perhaps since monkeys are primates, they (like us) can properly handle chocolate, but it may still be a problem for smaller monkeys. (The species wasn't given in the story.)
Is it ethical to give potentially toxic stuff to monkeys, just to see what poison they like more?
This seems like another nail in the coffin of the legality of these licenses. If the "agreement" can be changed so easily by one party without the knowledge or consent of the other party (parties), can this really be considered any kind of binding contract?
I mean, here, [scribble scribble] I've changed my copy of the EULA to say Apple may owe me favours or money for running their browser. Is that legal?
(I've used their Windows version since the first beta came out, though not as my first or even second choice.)
Well, any soluble compound of silver could produce agyria, if consumed in sufficient amounts. Other than stopping vampires and werewolves, I'm not sure about the benefits of drinking the stuff. Topical applications may be effective.
Okay, I'm an Opera fanboi. (Well, it's my preferred browser, anyway.) Take that for what ever it may mean to you.
However, this falls into the "Firefox does Acid 2" category. Until this is done with the release version of the browser, it's a nice thing, but not really available to the average web user. (Cue the witticisms from the "hyuck, hyuck - well Opera users aren't average - either of them" crowd.)
This is a good thing. Opera has been a company which has been dedicated to (among other things like speed, security and innovations in the interface) support for web standards. This is just another step in that direction.
Kudos to the desktop crew for this accomplishment.
The candidate did withdraw, but after the ballot was compiled.
The reason for the withdrawal was to prevent vote splitting with a second candidate and prevent a 3rd candidate from winning. With the 1st candiate still in the race on some machines, the vote splitting may have occured and the 3rd candidate may have enjoyed the benefit (and did win).
The machine error may have played some part in deciding the election.
I have been waiting for the multivariate solver for some time, and it would be the big win for me in the list of things mentioned in TFA. I hadn't noticed that you couldn't display more than one page in Writer.
As for error bars, I have to admit that I use Gnuplot rather than spreadsheets for a lot of my plots, and if any Gnuplot developers are out there, support for the OOo format for plots would be appreciated... it would be nice to be able to just open a gnuplot graph in 'Draw and annotate there.
I see that another state (Ohio) has seized machines to prevent (further?) tempering in an investigation into voting "irregularities". (Okay - they were ES&S,not Sequoia, but still.)
I'm not familiar with the situation, but Brad came to the rescue. Apparently, these machines screwed up during another vote. As you read the rest, it seems to be a total train wreck... perhaps the state can sue?
You're right, it's anecdotal. Next time you minimise IE, check its VM size, not Mem usage.
The chart was generated by running the same test, which may or may not measure your browsing habits, on all browsers and seeing how they reacted.
As an Opera user, I am surprised, but hope that the release version of Opera 9.5x will be better than the beta with respect to this. The other thing is FF 3.0's Javascript speed, which has improved remarkably.
The thing about people posting everything they can about their lives or lack thereof to facebook/myspace/etc. isn't that they don't care, but that they don't think. This isn't a new problem and isn't limited to the online, um, "world".
I have heard people giving out all sorts of personal information on their cellphones in the middle of a crowd. "Man in the middle" gets a new definition there. I guess there is a global trust in your fellow human that I must have lost somewhere along the line.
Either that or I am in a sea of idiots.
Getting to your point that there is nothing done... what would you have us do? Taking a cluebat to these people isn't legal - anymore - or so the parole officer says. Do you want to add to the legal system's overload with what amounts to trivia?

Since Parliament is subject to the will of the people, you too can now read your MPs email. Demand that and see what they say ...
you are coming to a sad realisation - cancel or allow?

What's in your pipe, man? Smells like good stuff. Lemme have a drag on it.
1) You may not read this end user license agreement. Doing so will constitute a violation of this post. Thank you for your support.
That happens every time I buy a Windows computer. How did you know?

It is a complete and utter disgrace what the US federal government did to the state of Louisiana after Katerina.

The machine counted the vote for Giuliani as being for the Democratic party.
The reason for the withdrawal was to prevent vote splitting with a second candidate and prevent a 3rd candidate from winning. With the 1st candiate still in the race on some machines, the vote splitting may have occured and the 3rd candidate may have enjoyed the benefit (and did win).

Monitoring is just there so we can employ the boss' nephew, who has always wanted to be in espionage.
Ewww. Too much information.

Work is being done to protect crops, but Norman Borlaug says "This thing has immense potential for social and human destruction." Oh yes, and you can say goodbye to cheap white bread.
