I would think that the "shopping" tab would be OK as anyone would expect that this would lead to Google's service, just as they would expect searches revealing a maps tab top go to google maps and not bing maps, open streetmap, or others.
Google has a 'maps' tab at the top of their UI, which is perfectly fine.
However, when you search for "maps" in google search (here in EU on a local server), a link for Bing maps only shows up on result page 11, and openstreetmap or yahoo maps don't show up at all.

I'm not sure how this one works. Google can find information, in this case about products. Searching for a product would normally just bring up Amazon, and skip the price comparison altogether. Is Google just not allowed to supply this service?
My guess is that it's about the "shopping" bar with pictures and prices. I think that they would have to either remove this or add a couple of links which are to price comparrison sites rather than directly to products.

Conventional lifts have a limit to the amount of vertical distance they can cover before various factors like the weight of the cable required make them impractical.
So you end up having multiple shafts, both because you can only have a single car per shaft, and hence need more shafts to cope with the passenger load, and because you need different type of lift, local ones for the lower portion, and express ones to take you quickly up to the next lot that service the upper portion of the building.
Put one of these in, and you've probably just saved a huge chunk of space that you can now charge for.
The article says this costs 3-5 times a normal elevator system, but in a typical downtown skyscraper the space savings are expected to more than compensate for the cost.
Add to that the time saved by having multiple lifts per shaft
No, not really. The ones with cables have a counterweight, so they tend to stay put, unless the cable snaps - that's when you need emergency brakes. The hydraulic ones will descend if there is a leak or power fail, but still at a relatively safe pace.
A lift engineer told me that the counterweight is usually set for somewhere near half the maximum load to minimise energy use, so if all power and the brakes fail you will go up if you are alone in the lift or down if you are in a fully loaded lift. He said that modern lifts are built so that if this does occur it is survivable without injury by having a either buffer or fixed slides at the bottom of the shaft, and having either the same at the top or enough "jump space" for the lift car to continue once the counterweight hits the bottom until gravity makes it fall back against the cables. I imagine that must be scary.
...who really uses the "green" program on washing machines or dishwashers? If the artifact mostly soaks in lukewarm water for 4 hours and comes out still dirty and with remains of detergent, it has to be washed again. No energy was saved. One can always set goals, but even bureaucrats cannot bend the rules of physics just by creating arbitrary standards.
I have to say that varies from appliance to appliance. In my dishwasher the eco wash is fine if you don't have cooking pots with baked on food. In my washing machine it's like you say, though if the clothes weren't too dirty you can get away with adding another rinse and spin rather than repeating the whole process.
Me neither. The Register says: Custom RBTs never really took off in the UK. Only T-Mobile gave them any credence but never bothered to promote them much. They aren't kidding, I have never heard one or even heard of them.
All that they will be able to tell with a TLS connection is what sites you are accessing, not URLs or contents. Most retailers use TLS (https) by default.
That bug is only an issue if you use Linux. Windows does not have that problem. If you use Windows, this isn't a problem. Linux has, what, maybe 2% of the market share? This isn't a big deal at all.
This problem only effects 32-bit Linux. Most desktop and server users are now using 64-bit Linux. The main effect of this is likely to be on embedded systems.
I mean, we don't want our computers to lie to us. Lying to humans is one of those things we should actively prevent, not develop.
What you say is sensible and to everyone's advantage, but I bet there are a lot of people who would like their robots to lie to others if it gives them an advantage.
Anyone should be able to challenge a Science professor. Since they are taking science the challenge should be dismissed straight away if it isn't in scientific terms. If someone want's to ask "how do we know that carbon dating is accurate?", or "could the rate of radio-active decay change with time" then that's fine?. It's the repeated disruptive claiming of disproven facts that should be prevented.
I would be happy to let the muzzes go around killing eachother in their own hell-holes, but only if they applied the "when in Rome" when they come to the West. Instead they demand special privilege, abuse children and murder people.
Chief among issues is immigration. Call it racist all you want but a country does not feel like a country if it can't control it's own borders. Furthermore the richer nations really do need to contribute more for the border protection in the eastern nations.

I have heard a lot of people say that they wanted brexit because of the Muslims. Whereas nobody with sense would want a group dedicated to overthrowing democracy and installing an Islamic theocracy, some seemed to think that EU is the main source of concern. There are no denying that some muzzy scum with EU citizenship to arrive in the UK, but this is insignificant compared to the numbers from non-EU countries.
The worrying thing is that brexit may make this worse. At the moment European migrants have priority. If we go for a points system the Jihadis will be lining up with their false qualifications from terrorist states like Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

I've just noticed "bing maps" is not a result but is on the first page under "Searches related to maps"

The primary benefit is not the sideways thing.

Bitcoin becomes more restrictive than the traditional banks
You can not give them smartphones even if giving them smartphones isn't illegal.
Agree totally. They can decide not to give their kids smartphones and let other people decide for themselves.
Austin, Texas. It is affordable and has a number of tech industries. The only downside is that it's too damn hot most of the year,
Looks to be a white supremacist (ie. a white guy).
Bad news. If in resisting the muslims we become like them then what have we gained?

Can we please stop with the false reporting?
The conservative party won a MAJORITY in parliament. What they did not win was a PLURALITY.
Please understand the difference.
I suggest you look up the meaning of overall majority
