For as long as I've used flash you've had the ability to delete the flash cookies. Does 10.3 make this somehow easier? Becaus otherwise that's a load of bull to mention that as a new feature.
EDIT: Okay, I've now read TFA, they've made it easier - not that they've made it possible.
What, by engaging in a lawsuit to prove that Top Gear has lied and wilfully misrepresented their product they will draw attention to the fact that Top Gear lied and mis-represented their product?
Tesla are positively banking on the "Streisand Effect". This is not some frivolous law suit. This is seeking stopping Top Gear wilfully misrepresenting their product.
The Liberty Dollar people said the coin had value because it was made of Silver not because it had a dollar value stamped on it. The Liberty dollar had less Silver in it than people paid for it and had waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay less silver in it than the face value of the coin which is what people tried to pass it off as. And their silver dollars were rebased from $20 to $50 (and if I remember correctly they rebased from $10 to $20 earlier). If the face value was not important then why were they restruck? Why did they have any face value at all, why couldn't they have just be discs of silver?
The US government says their money has value because they back it with the full faith and credit of the United States of America, i.e. it is worth one dollar because it is worth one dollar. Amazingly this works because they will accept one dollar for one dollar of debt. It's a circular definition but it doesn't rely on people thinking shiny metals are awesome.
While Gruber may be right on this he is still the dick who concocted the widely quoted fantasy as to why cross compilers were definitely bad for iOs consumers and Jobs was so right to ban them give that Apple only do things that are good for the consumer blah, blah fucking blah.
He was suspiciously silent when Apple un-banned cross compiled apps. Which is a shame. I was desperate to know why cross compilers were suddenly good for consumers in a way that didn't reference the EU investigation on the issue that was teed-up to start the following week.
No, the argument changes - and you'd realise that if you actually paid attenotin to the bullshit they spew. There is a intertwining of American and British anti-vax bullshit.
American anit-vaxxers believe it is the mercury in the vaccine that makes autism happen. Their problem is that there is no mercury in the vaccines that children are given.
The British anti-vaxxers postion is that the measels strain used in the MMR jab cause autistic like symptoms from compacted bowel problems due to the measles virus making it's way to the gut. Their problem is that this is all based on Wakefield's work and Wakefield is a lying, duplicitous cunt who made it all up.
The American and British antivax bullshit found each other and have used the existence of each other to justify their crazy beliefs despite the lack of evidence for either position.
This is the (lack of) net neutrality disaster we were talking about, this is the future where the small start up cannot compete with the entrenched big corp because the playing field is tilted against them.
The point, as Bill Bryson states in Notes from a Small Island, is that the British form a single queue system in all situations bar large supermarkets, even when there is no markings or indications to do so.
The British are genetically superior at queuing than any other people on the planet.
The "argument" is that the retailer (Costco in this case) is using the trademark (Omega's in this case) in a way that Omega doesn't want it to be used.
This "argument" was used by Sony to shut down Lik-Sang.
It was the "argument" used by Levi's to block Tesco in Britain selling genuine Levi jeans they purchased from outside the European Union.
It led at one point to a British company stating they were offering as a prize a "newly released japanese handheld games console", the PSP hadn't been released in Europe at that time and they just had a black oblong on screen without any mention of Sony so that they couldn't be done for trademark violation.
It's a terrible, terrible thing. The corporations get the benefits of globalisation to make goods cheaply but the consumers are barred from the global market so have to get goods expensively.
Operation Flashpoint got a reputation for being incredibly hard because the anti-piracy measure was to increase the accuracy of the enemies to super human levels. You could always tell someone who had a cracked version as they complained about super accurate enemies shooting them from miles away. (Op:Flashpoint was a hard game with accurate enemies but not that hard and not that accurate).
Immersion's patents were very, very valid, they didn't need Microsoft settling with them to make them look any more valid. Why do you think Nintendo used a different method of achieving rumble with the N64?
The Immersion patents were for an actual physical invention, the proper and just use of a patent application, that both Microsoft and Sony blatantly ripped off.
Doing graphical stuff with a plugin that Apple won't let access hardware acceleration that would make a lot of what it's doing trivial uses large amount of CPU. Special report to come.
Once again Steve proves himself unable to work out why working for a cash rich company without an external client (Blizzard this time rather than Google) might result in differences.
That blog post was so stupid I felt my braincells shutting down.
The two take away message I got from that was that working at Google is awesome and that the stupid blog poster can't understand why everyone doesn't work like they are at a cash rich company developing internal research projects without external clients setting the requirements.
I haven't read the comments but I'm going to make a predicition about them:
Someone will say agile methodologies are just a collection of best practices organised together in a cohesive whole and they don't see the value in that.
Someone will say they did XP and didn't see what was so revolutionary about it, in response to questions it will turn out they didn't do the planning game, didn't do TDD and didn't pair program
Someone will obsess about a detail of an agile methodology, say stand up meetings, and use it as a strawman to attack all agile process, they'll also completely miss the point of what that detail is trying to achieve.
etc.
I remember the 1970's plenty well enough to recall that the great fear then was, are you ready for this, Global Cooling! The Earth was going to freeze in 30 years and we were all going to die through mass starvation because crops wouldn't grow. And yes, the Climate Scientists of that time were all behind that farce as well. How quickly things change.
You are either a liar, wilfully ignorant or suffering from some kind of dellusion, there was no global consensus on Global Cooling. It was a theory (based on the proven effects of particulates caused by pollution blotting out the sun) held by a small group of scientists but it was not fully tested. When the full spectrum of evidence was examined it was shown that the warming effects of pollution would outweigh the cooling effects.
There was a story on Slashdot several years ago now about a Coffee shop that got rid of its free wifi and saw it's profits jump as table cloggers didn't buy one cup and then block up the shop for the day. It seems like other places are coming to a similar conclusion.

I wonder why that happened?
No, they've just added an easier way of deleting cookies. Deleting cookies has been available for as long as they've had LSOs as far as I am aware.
EDIT: Okay, I've now read TFA, they've made it easier - not that they've made it possible.
"I haven’t done a raw dump of the locations in the file"
So that first quote would be a lie then?
What, by engaging in a lawsuit to prove that Top Gear has lied and wilfully misrepresented their product they will draw attention to the fact that Top Gear lied and mis-represented their product? Tesla are positively banking on the "Streisand Effect". This is not some frivolous law suit. This is seeking stopping Top Gear wilfully misrepresenting their product.
The BBC keep repeating the episode with the lies intact so Tesla are going for the only avenue left open to them.

Hmmmmmmmmm.
Smells like fraud to me.

Whatever happened to the reply from Ask the leader of the British Pirate party questions thread on Slashdot, was there ever and answer?

And even then they have to fake it by showing (at least one) phone(s) that were on minimal battery power and had thus entered a power saving mode.
I did my thesis in LaTeX because I wanted to do cross-referencing and I didn't want to go mad.
