What? Chrome has a home icon. I never use home anyway, I just use New Tab (ctrl-t) and often ctrl-w to close tabs I don't want. Ctrl-number to switch tabs if I really don't want to use the mouse.
I've been using "Incredible StartPage", presumably since before all of that happened. The Chrome homepage was nice, but I wanted it to be more configurable..
The summary for that story said that those were for wallpapers downloaded from unofficial app stores, not the Android market.. people were downloading the official ones, repackaging and putting on unofficial sources. Now with added malware!
Firefly is great, but I don't consider it to be particularly "recent".. I suppose Doll House is original sci-fi too, though I haven't seen it yet, and again it got cancelled pretty quickly..
You've just made me realise: what sci-fi isn't "dated" by now?
Of course I generally watch stuff on DVD rather than TV these days, but I don't remember even hearing of any recent good sci-fi shows that aren't a remake or a continuation of some show from the 20th century.. in fact, even if you take out the "good", what fresh stuff has there been?
Though it has to be said that dated doesn't mean bad. Lightsabers are incredibly dated, but I still want one:) and the BSG remake was pretty damn good.
In the meantime there's always the OSX "Zoom" feature..
In my Ubuntu netbook I use a similar feature to get fullscreen flash video without slowing everything to a slideshow. Just hold Super and move the scroll wheel.. think I discovered it by accident.
Well, having been accused of hacking a few times in the past when I was just playing well, I think the answer to that is that it's not always possible to tell. Some aimbots I saw back when I used to play CS were really obvious, swinging the player's view around in a figure 8 type motion constantly, others were much more subtle with the aim jumping just as the player shot..
Never trust the client is a given, but guaranteeing the client side is kosher is basically DRM. It will be cracked eventually. Though if you regularly change the keys that would presumably help, and that's entirely feasible for a network game..
It's easy to stop wall hacking/fog of war with client side checks.
The whole point here is that if the PS3 is hacked, it is easy to evade client side checks. "Newer PC games" will be hacked too, given enough time and interested parties
You don't really understand the full nature of cheating. It's easy to stop some things, but if someone has a wall hack or aimbot, no amount of server side checks will distinguish that from a skilled player. That is, unless the server just precomputes all sound and graphics and sends them to the client, rather than telling the client exactly where sounds are to originate from, or where enemy player models are.
Ready for what? Even among humans there's a vast difference between, for example, talking to a senior electrical engineer, talking to an unemployed stoner, talking to someone in a foreign language..
I remember using voice commands on a Mac something like 13 years ago. It's been "publicly available" for a long time for opening programs (though annoyingly I couldn't figure out a script that I could make it run to change which file is highlighted onscreen, even though I could both open and close windows and apps with voice control). My Android phone also has voice input, but I'm too used to just using the screen to bother with it. It also needs a fairly quiet environment to work, and unfortunately my office is not silent.

I ignored it after doing an "Ask Slashdot" asking about PHP vs Perl for secure web development. I was a bit shortsighted only considering Perl as the other option, but I've been very happy using it. Ruby or Python would probably have been better choices, but I didn't consider either quite so likely to be installed as standard on all Linux boxes.. though Python probably is.
That sounds a bit better than what I expected, kind of a "Lord of the Flies" type tale I suppose. Still, the way the new version was advertised (I didn't know it was a remake), it didn't appeal to me at all. Even the advert creeped me out, which is pretty rare.
Yeah, I might one day learn to RTFA properly. Still, they only tested with the phone on the right side switched on, they didn't do the left. Considering it was far more than just the part near the antennae that was active after the hour with the phone on, I think it would have been better to test both sides, maybe even try the phone at the front too.

I just have back, forward, reload (changes to stop when a page is loading) and home.
Ah okay, go to Options, and click "show home button on the tool bar". Simples.

The super thing was for use in Ubuntu.
For Mac, look at this link and scroll down to "Screen Magnification" :)

Well, Apple sell things. That's what they do. Not a lot of chance that Apple news won't somehow feature new products or rumours of new products.

Only if everyone is too stupid to know the word "undo". "SELECT ALL DELETE SAVE QUIT DESTROY ALL BACKUPS!" would be slightly more damaging.

I find that when I tell them I'm going to pull it, they run away before I have a chance to dong, wrong or right.
Ah. 2 million Slashdotters. What a wonderful post to mark this occasion!
The best solution is, as always, in between. You don't want people in 50 years time having no clue how to write a secure database library.

Haha, does that look funny to you?
And what further conclusion do you think one could draw if one did a test with the 'left side switched on' as well?
To see if the effect really was strongest at the point closest to the antenna, or if that was just a coincidence.

"Anyone" was going too far. I should have said "most people".
