I do something similar: No computer, smartphone, or TV one hour before bedtime. I shut everything off. What's helped me the most, though, is a regular sleep schedule. 12:30 to 8:30 every day: even on weekends.
eg. removing https:/// from the location bar after we (the security/it industry) have spent 25 years teaching people to look for it when signing into their bank/mail etc.
Not that I'm down with the changes the Chrome guys made, but they only got rid of the http:. Not the https:.
The sad thing is that environmentalists have a sort of knee jerk reaction every time they hear the word nuclear, even though it is the only power source that is cheap, safe, and good for the environment.
I'm an environmentalist, and I support the development of nuclear power.
I've seriously considered writing to Jeff Bezos and saying I will only buy a Kindle if he will arrange to get me free Kindle copies of all the books I bought, which the eBook industry has rendered useless piles of bits. The word theft gets thrown around rather casually with DRM gets discussed. Well, I feel that denying me access to the books I bought and paid for in good faith is theft. When the eBook industry, as represented by Amazon, is willing to make me whole, then I will start buying eBook devices and content again.
You should! Cut-and-paste that whole comment and send it to him.
As insecure as IE is, it really is only part of the problem. Were you running with administrator privileges at the time? If you were running as a limited user, as you and the rest of the world should, I doubt the damage would have been as extensive.
Whoops, delete request accepted by a narrow margin, all the work of everyone goes *poof*.
An aside, but I thought Wikipedia stored every version of every page. When a page gets "deleted," it doesn't disappear forever, does it? It just stops showing up in head. Like a source code revision control system.
They dig their heads on the sand and pretend that with a growing population we can just conserve our way out of this crisis - which is of course way out of reality.
Why doesn't anyone ever consider, you know, slowing that growth?
I think the rings are lettered according to order of discovery, not distance from Saturn. The A and B rings are the brightest and easiest to see, so that's why the're named that way. As for the new one, no it doesn't follow the letter convention, but I'm seeing it everywhere as the "Phoebe Ring."
Overpopulation is the root cause of many problems: energy shortage, famine, global warming, etc. The 4 horsemen of the apocalypse are approaching. We can already hear the hooves of the horses.
Thank you for this. It's the elephant in the room and nobody wants to talk about it. I feel overpopulation is a much bigger problem than say, global warming. Everyone please read this.
It also merely shifts the carbon load to the electricity plants rather then the vehicle causing the carbon footprint to be distorted.
It's not a mere shift. It's much easier to control pollution from one big source (a power plant) than a bunch of little sources (cars). Overall pollution emitted is much less. I asked about this exact thing when I test drove an EV1 when they were the hot thing. "But doesn't it mean that power plants have to pollute that much more to keep EV1s running?" The guy quoted some pollution saving percentage. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
And "Chromium" still doesn't have things like flash and printing, at least not in a stable, usable form.
Linux Chrome does have flash. You have to enable it with a command line argument, and they say it isn't very stable, but that hasn't been the case for me. I can't recall a single crash because of Flash.
I totally agree that Java isn't fun. It's very restrictive and almost forces even the simplest task to be forced into a complex object oriented structure. It is definently not a language to just play around and hack stuff together.
I love to program in Java. It's what I do at work. And when I feel the need to hack stuff together at home, I use Java.
I've been programming professionally for 10 years and have delivered projects in C, C++, Java, and Python. I love Java by far the best.

Stop. Running. With. Administrator. Privileges. By. Default.

Do you run with administrator privileges? You're not secure if you do so.

Hardware does tend to be much cheaper than engineering

If that Sansa works for you, that's great. Nobody is asking you to buy a Zune. I'm not buying a Zune. My Rockboxed iPod is what works great for me.

You can do this on Android. No extra software needed.

I love the Awesome Bar! Chrome's equivalent doesn't come close. Seriously, I get urges to get back on Firefox because I miss the Awesome Bar so much.
It's pretty easy to restrict Awesome Bar searches to just bookmarks, history, page titles, or URLs. Granted, that's not a very discoverable feature. But I hardly use it, the default behavior works great for me.
