Actually what the people of California need to learn is not every freaking thing should be done by democratic vote. The number of propositions in California politics is insane, and the very idea that something like Prop 13 would ever even get to a popular vote is totally ridiculous, because the average voter can not be hoped to make any kind of informed decision of all of the ins and outs of the matter.
There is a reason the US is a REPUBLIC. You are supposed to be electing people who you think represent your interests and/or are smarter than you, so that THEY can make the informed decisions about thnings like taxation and state budgets.
The whole problem with California is every major decision in the state is put to the whole populace which has led to bread & circuses. The executive needs more power to make tough choices for everyone, without putting it to votes.
You could, you know, be reasonable and just look up the game FAQ and see...
Is it really that hard for people to read through to their current sequence without reading ahead for spoilers?
I do this all the time for my games, namely because after 30 mins of being stuck in the same hole not sure what to do the thing turns from a game into a frustration for me.
People are really glossing over the IMPORTANT side of this decision - YouTube.
YouTube is by far the largest source of online video on the web, and it is owned by Google. Until now, YouTube's HTML5 version used H.264 encoding. By dropping H.264 from Chrome, Google would in effect be making YouTube incompatible with their own browser. They are not going to do that.
What this points to, is YouTube is very likely to switch to WebM itself for HTML 5 video in the near future. This has HUGE ramifications since IE 9 is not slated to support Web-M - which would mean IE 9 would not work with HTML 5 YouTube, while every other browser did.
This may be the actual whole reason behind this decision - to indirectly force Microsoft's hand in supporting open video in IE.
I don't think anyone has their "Internet TV" directly connected to the internet. They are *ALL* behind the firewall. Thus the only way to launch these attacks are from your own internal network.
The Samsung Galaxy S and it's cousins have the exact same processor and it was overclocked too 1.2 Ghz 3 months ago.
Is it news because it has Google in the title? Seeing how Samsung makes the phone and it is basically a copy of the galaxy S with a few minor changes, I don't see why this is new news.
MS can not stop the development of this game since it is not, nor has it ever been, made for the 360. The game is made for the PC using the open Kinect drivers available everywhere on the web.
Honestly I am getting tired of rural subsidies and rural issues being made so important in elections.
People living in rural areas have to start to realize there is a trade-off. Either you live in a rural area and sacrifice some modern-day niceties for the benefit of living outside the city, or you move to the city.
People who live in cities should not be forced to subsidize people who choose to live outside the city. City living is more environmentally efficient and more economically efficient. Therefore federal and state governments should be encouraging city migration as much as possible. This is not accomplished by pandering to the rural electorate - people living in cities *SHOULD* be favored because their tax dollar efficiency is so much higher.
Why engage in mass speculation? Check out the code from the time period in question and audit it for a back door. I don't know why everyone should get up in arms over an allegation that may very well be unfounded.
... how important fax numbers are to companies like Paypal and Mastercard and Amazon.
Like it or not, a faxed document with a signature is still much more legally recognized as valid than a scanned email, even if said email has been digitally signed. As such, companies like Mastercard/Paypal/Amazon *ROUTINELY* rely on fax to send and receive legal documents, both among other businesses and their own customers.
Cutting off faxes would be a BIG BIG deal to a financial company like Paypal/Mastercard, and likely Amazon as well.
The people in this thread saying there is no use for this obviously either have never heard of remote wipe, or have not had to accept it to connect their device to their work Exchange server.
Avast! Antivirus (yes the ! is part of the name) is free for personal use to begin with, and the license key is very easy to get ahold of and only needs renewing once / year... so I don't know WHY anyone would bother to pirate it.
I've been using Avast! for a few years now (ever since AVG turned to annoying bloatware/spamware) and have no complaints, it has caught a few infections and I have never been spammed by them or anything like that. They seem like a decent outfit.
You can get pretty much any magazine subscription in the known universe for free or next to nothing. I currently have a subscription to Maxim I pay $0 for and one to Wired I pay $2 / year for. $2 / year would not even cover the postage.
I do this via the great mystical method of "eBay.com"
Magazines DO NOT CARE about subscription income. They make all their money in ad dollars. People who pay actual money for magazine subscriptions are just poor shoppers, the same as people who pay full sticker on new cars.
For example the entire GalaxyS line of smartphones does not run on Qualcomm chips, they run on Samsungs. The GalaxyS is on track to be the best selling mobile phone world-wide, ever. This is not even counting the Galaxy Tab. And next year the GalaxyS2 is rumoured to be out.
That is just one example. Anyway the point is Qualcomm is in a good position but they have nowhere near the power Intel had in the day. It is relatively simple to run the Android platform on any processor type.
I love how people on Slashdot like to throw around migrating to IPv6 like it can be done in a fortnight.
Migrating to IPv6 will cost ISPs BILLIONS. It is not simply a matter of flipping a few routers. It is tens of millions of lines of company code all geared around IPv4.
It is hundreds of millions of lines of third-party code that they have bought all geared around IPv4. You know, the software that RUNS THE INTERNET.
It is something that will take years to fully be completed, even though it has already been going on for years.
It is not the flip of a switch.
I work for one of these third party software companies so I know what I am taking about. To put it simply, the migration of our software 100% to IPv6 will take years to be fully done - and that is given a very large and capable team. This is not simply a matter of changing an int to two doubles and recompiling, it is a lot more complicated than that.
As an avid user of Google Shopper (http://froogle.google.com), I honestly wish Google integrated it's results into searches for products. Being able to price compare *and* read reviews on one single page of results would be excellent.

Tomcat is managed and run by the ASF, has nothing to do with Oracle.... not sure what you are going on about here.

If you browse in incognito mode does it then make all flash storage non-persistent? Because this is how the evercookie works across incognito.
You had to enter this info to play the Monopoly online contest.
Which is actually reasonable since they need some way to contact you and verify your identity in the case of you winning a major prize.

I don't know why people complain about the search page - you spend NO TIME THERE.
It is the result page that matters. And the result page at Yahoo! and live.com is completely full of graphic ads and other garbage.
The only results page as clean as Googles is Ask.com - too bad their results are horrible.

The fact that results now stream into Google as you scroll down the page makes this finding obsolete.
There is no notion of "page" anymore.

Yes, because all software undert he ASF envelope is 100% bug free and feature complete.
What kind of nonsense is this? What does a minor bug on a web-page have to do with submitting a project as open source?
This is a great application for UAV technology, one that doesn't involve spying on or killing innocent people.
