I'm going to guess that it is due to mag. North moving "a fair bit" right now. And while I'm guessing, I am going to guess that something _slowing down_ would be much less likely to "shake, rattle and roll" than something speeding up.
What about a redirect within a web site? If "page.html" moves to "Bozo-The-Clown.html" on the same web site, and "page.html" gets edited to redirect you, should there be any blocking?
Yup. The decline of ESPN alone was enough to get me to cancel TV. Got the call from "retention" a week later -- told them I wasn't interested even if it was free. Liberating. [Truth is I only was using TV to help me take a nap...not a great use case.]
Keurig exists because companies saw the benefit of a 30 second brew cycle over a 5minute one. What about (only) allowing vape use on the property? Instant on, 3 or 4 puffs and you're done.
By the way, the way I got compensated for being a non-smoker among smokers was to take a break at the same time as the smokers. Out we would all go and I'd have a 15 minute chin wag several times a day.
It speaks more to the incredible determination and will of Reinhold Messner. He's written a lot of books, many in English, and I highly recommend them. Simply the best mountaineer ever.
Mostly I think you are on the right track Kjella. However
"3. Give me a usable way to search for functionality instead of digging through menus and reading tooltips"
You say you want to "search" instead. What the [] does that mean? Your idea of "searching" is going to be different from everyone else's.
Whereas a menu system is the perfect way to nest functionality. Not unlike a dictionary. Use a word/label to identify -- often with already understood language -- what something will do if you click on it.
Microsoft moved us away from menus...but the move (like the move to thumbprinted touch screens) made no sense.
Also, FWIW, a lot of what you are listing here (e.g. 7.) is best handled in an extensive -- and well designed -- option system. I've never seen a program do it better than Eudora.
Agreed. What we all fail to keep in mind with cell phones is what a downgrade they are.
New phones are $500 to $1,500 whereas I recently bought a great Win7Pro system with twin Xeon processors and 16GB RAM for $200.
A cell phone screen is smaller than any desktop or laptop screen. The Osborne 1, released in 1981, had a 5" screen.
PCs can be made secure in a variety of ways. Cell phones only if we root them, and and and.
Computers never need charging. Cell phones barely go a day without requiring a charge.
And then there are the monthly charges...Our four computers at home share one pipe. I see 4 cell phone packages advertised at $45 per line, for a total of $180/month.
Longevity...I'm still on a Q6600 that I got 9 years ago. The two cell phone users in this house have gone through 3 or 4 each in that time.
tl;dr? Cell phones ain't the highest of high tech. True techies know this and take or leave them as the situation warrants.

My Sony Blu-Ray device also has built-in Roku (or Roku-like) functionality. A nice two-in-one solution.
Simpler solution -- get PornHub to delete all videos longer than 20 minutes.
The documentary Icarus about the decades of Russian cheating.
Took me a while to drop it (like two months ago) but I haven't even replaced it with OTA or Hulu. Just gone, buh bye.

"Likes" aren't the problem. Lack of "Dislikes" is. And by the way, Amazon removed the "Dislike" button so that it could become more like Facebook.
Yelp does this as way. Three ways to praise a post, none to mod it down.

This idea is somewhat interesting.

Interesting how GP post gets a +5 and P post gets a -1.

So using a typewriter makes one "a hipster, shrug"?
Nah, two guys should be sufficient.
Maybe we should send quadraplegics into space.
I wasn't aware the "recession" had a date associated with it. Perhaps the writer meant the depression.
Rule of thumb: one hour of sleep before midnight equals two hours of sleep after midnight. So yes early to bed early to rise.

Here's a couple of my videos -- both around 80 minutes -- that took about 50 hours each to make:

Boggles my mind why anyone would pull an arbitrary fixed number out of their hat...
A few years from now we will have fully autonomous electric cars. They behave like Uber/Lyft today, only no driver.
When they need to power up, they plug in. Automatically.
They do this after every trip. They know where the plugs are. It is safe and idiot-proof. No smell. No human interaction needed.
Beats the heck out of them having to drive to a gas station.

I think a lot more than that come every day.
RSS feed support is built in to the Opera browser. I've used it for many years.
Can this be corrected with a modified CSS file? Someone did this code for an older version of /. that was jacked...:
#links {
display: none !important;
}
#contents {
margin-left: 0px !important;
}
#sponsorlinks {
display: none !important;
}
Anyone?
Netflix is on the leading edge of the wedge. Asking what will come after Netflix is like asking what will come after flying cars.
