Sorry Sulfur. I call BS. Firefox has Google search on by default. Not to mention setting my home page until I change it. So, as you say, give people a choice.

This is the first time you installed Firefox.
For privacy reasons, Firefox has the capability to block various ad servers on the Internet. These ad servers have the ability to track you across multiple web sites. By blocking them you keep your web surfing private.
Why isn't this just built into Firefox, by default? Being an open source application being written by an open source community I'm surprised ad blocking isn't turned on by default.
Creation is evolution. I'm not sure why they can't coexist. To God, waving a wand can take a second or a millenium. The world may have been built in 6 days but there's no saying how long a day is defined.
This is not from an atheists point of view, obviously. But athiests are lazy thinkers.
I gave it go and tried to upload a spreadsheet that we tend to email around the office - so there are old outdated copies everywhere! It wasn't particularly a complicated spreadsheet but Google failed to upload it.
Well, it didn't fail to upload it as much as the little status circle continued to spin throughout the night as I just let it run.
The next day I closed out the browser and gave up on this product. Please - do more testing before you release it.
Nerds are pussies, just like 12 year olds that play xbox. They *get away* with it because there are no consequences for their actions.
I'm not offended easily but the fact that every Halo2 game you jumped into had a 12 year old pussy calling you a nigger every 10 seconds was more than irritating. They wouldn't last 10 seconds in real life with that mouth./irony intended
./ isn't the government. This is the court of public opinion. And one such opinion is that the censorship through Google.cn is a profit motivated one and people do reason that it violates the idea of Do No Evil. Some people reason that by supporting an Evil like censorship makes you evil. Just sayin...
The single-player game is a strange mutant monster which has only existed for 21 years and is about to go away because it is unnatural and abnormal.
That's retarded. Solitaire has been around for ages. Also, occasionally I just want people to leave me the hell alone. We may be social animals but we all want to relax and have some "me time" too.
Also, from experience, people really enjoy being the hero. Any kind of multiplayer game makes you just like everyone else. And you know what? Being like everyone else sucks. Sometime it's nice to relax and be the super child with Jedi skills or the child that will be king.
Just an example but I ran a DikuMUD and converted the entire D&D style game to a Star Wars theme. Of course everyone wanted to be a Jedi. So all you had were hundreds of Jedis running around which diminished the power of a Jedi. Nobody was special.
Yeah I know these types of articles are meant to be controversial for the sake of getting nods and shakes by/.'ers, but damn... What a stupid comment.
To break up the monotony of long car rides, many folks have taken up geocaching. The kids like to watch for the caches that come up along the road during the drive even if we don't stop to seek them out.
Granted this isn't an RPG style game but it has its uses.
Phishers do this. After I received one too many PayPal phishing scams, I did a whois on the originating IP/DNS and called the person listed. It turned out to be an older woman that never used the Internet.
So yes, the data could even be for an accurate address but also a stolen one.
"The page remained unchanged for so long because it wasn't linked to from any other Wikipedia articles, depriving it of traffic that might have led to closer scrutiny."
So where is the problem? Seigenthaler is complaining that he was bad mouthed by an article that hardly anyone read?
99% of the time I use the search engine to locate articles of interest. Just because it isn't linked within Wikipedia doesn't mean people don't visit that page.
I'm not sure how you would feel if you were accused of being involved in an assassination, but editing the copy won't remove the edit history. Wikipedia does give an air of authority which can cause irreperable harm if it is accepted in the same standards as more "official" media outlets.
Yeah, I hear about problems with the "official" media outlets. There needs to be more fact checking all around.

Why some of these posts are modded insightful is beyond me. How long will the Google Love last? When you think about it, giants do tend to accidentally squash peasants under their feet. They don't mean to; They just can't help it. Is it evil? Not really but there are unintended consequences. Yeah, great that Google tends to do things right but there is always a fall. I just hope it comes later than earlier.
There's a Fremont in Seattle WA just like Whitbey is an island. Most of their codenames come from local place names in Washington. Why you were rated informative is beyond me, you insensitive California-centered clod.

One of the biggest misconceptions of credit card companies is how they "protect" the consumer from credit card fraud. In actuality, the credit card company passes whatever risk they have in each transaction to the merchant who receives the credit card for merchandise purchased from their site.
In other words, the merchant relies on the credit card company to validate a charge made for product. If that charge turns out to be fraudulent, the credit card company pulls that money from the merchant. At this point the merchant has lost both the monies paid for the product but also the product itself.
Why would the credit card companies even care to create more fraud prevention methods? To them it is a perfect system.
Actually they license a lot of the data (well, for the most part, imagery) from a commercial business. I can understand allowing free access to information exclusively gathered by the government, but I don't think FOIA was meant as a method to circumvent licensing imagery from the companies that gather and sell it.
Isn't the actual issue (related to 24 Hour Laundry) that announcing a new web site as "coming soon" sucks? Covering a store front window in black paper makes sense; It is a physical presence and can't be hidden. However a web site that you go to and has a "coming soon" web page is, essentially, garbage.
Under Construction signs have always sucked on web pages so this isn't very new. Nor is overhyping web services that are coming soon.
eBay is a content driven system where the content submitters pay to post their items. Perhaps there is some room for charging for a marketplace for ideas as well.

I changed the wikipedia entry for "backfired" so it means "brilliantly executed" now.
Have any of these businesses that integrate Google Maps as part of their business plan made any money yet? Has Google?
Not only is it annoying, which is counterproductive, but if I was a top level executive I'd take this opportunity to have a 3 day weekend.

PayPal can research all US users who are using offshore accounts and pay their taxes for them. Privacy protected.

They should take the word "science" out of Computer Science then.
