If Apple started selling apples then they might lose their trademark for being to generic.
Of course the cafe sounds interesting. There could be poetry readings that are typed into a screen reader on a MacBook Air, and whenever an iPad is sold, everyone could snap their fingers in approval.
"method of using an access point to provide access to the Internet" or some such. Anyone using an access point is suddenly infringing, no device creation (or innovation) needed.
And they encourage the people you know who use Facebook to identify you in pictures ("Do you know this person? Tag the photo!"). Once a person has had a few friends tag them, there's probably a pseudo-account created for them. Don't be surprised if Facebook starts asking "How do you know XYZ? With your photo." of anyone tagged in photos you're tagged in (whether you have an account or not).
Large chunks of IPV4 address space were assigned early on to corporations, universities, government bodies and others who had absolutely no use for so much space, simply because nobody even considered that
anyone other than reasearchers or the military would have a use for "an Internet".
But they can't tag you if you don't have an account. They can write your name, but that is not internally or externally searchable By Ordinary Users. I think your strategy is opening you up to more search connections, by being searchable and for periods tagged.
FTFY. You can be sure FB has database entries for people that don't have accounts, and that their racial recognition program uses these tags. When they build up enough info on a person, they might start sending them email solicitations* like "We have this photo tagged of you. Please create an account to confirm/deny that this is you." I bet it's two years or so away.
*A lot of people use the "upload my addressbook to facebook" option. If they do it from their smartphone, it might scrape the contact photos too...
By full-featured, I believe GP meant "includes address and status bars at the very least" not "includes email, calendar, and the kitchen sink because Netscape did".
The problem is that the current law is not enforced. Just in the past few days I got multiple machine dialed calls from someone trying to sell me a Home Security system. Not only was it my cellphone, but the cell number is on the Do Not Call list
Contact your state Attorney General. Some of them are really going after robodialers for violating state laws.
My favorite are the one's that ask you to leave your name and number if you would like someone to call you. I always give a fictitious name and my real number (not cellphone). Then when they call back, I tell them that that person just stepped out and should be back in 15 minutes. The second time, they just went to lunch and should be back in 30 minutes. The third time (and I have only gotten this far once), I say the person has left for the day, please try tomorrow.
Is the next step "So and So is on vacation"? If so, prepare a second phone line for yourself as the "resort hotel" and get a good accent going.
But can you fit four or more carburetors on a car to make it have eight or more displays (with some sweet, sweet, Xinerama action)? You can do that with PCI graphics cards.
But the result is that I get to pay $50 for Basic Cable Hookup which gives me 204 home shopping channels for "Free", then I get to pay a la carte for local stations or anything with actual content.
The problem is not the "awesomeness bit" itself - the suckage is inside the SQLite used in the background, degrading performance by hitting HDD way too often and with high latencies. As if it can't cache the few MBs of the history/bookmarks in the RAM...
just one more thing dear mozilla, please quit numbering the damned thing and call it just 'the new firefox'. After all the main version number is the least significant one for people who need a version number (build/commit count is much more descriptive anyway).
So when I scan all the machines on my network to see whether all the Firefoxes updated correctly, they'll all report "the new firefox" whether they were last updated in 2011 or 2012.
But the tablets and ultrathin laptops that are today's hot sellers don't let you so much as swap in more RAM. What's a component retailer to do in world without user-serviceable components?
Um, pre-built computers from Packard Bell, IBM, Compaq, Gateway, HP, Dell, were the hot sellers prior to and during Newegg's rise. I have a feeling a change in "hot seller" won't change the custom built market one whit.
In the US we've chosen to subscribe to the radical notion that the poor deserve to be poor because clearly it's less worthwhile work to work two jobs for minimum wage than to work one that pays substantially more.
If I leave my job, the management has to go through a difficult and lengthy process of finding a good replacement (made harder by them not understanding the details of what my job requires knowledge-wise). If Jim the gas station attendant or Marge the grocery clerk leave their jobs, it's easy enough to replace them... or maybe just cut their position and make the customers do their job with a minimal amount of automation and some cameras to keep everyone honest.

Admit it; you're Randall Munroe's man in a hat aren't you?

Or they could just buy Google's countrywide map of wifi nodes.
Yeah, I only mentioned SF because of the geeknet tie-in.
I know the SF overlords are listening. I bet a lot of people will want to migrate their projects from berlios to another site...
How are we sure it's not just people dragging their fingers along the wall to navigate in the dark?

I loved it too. Does anyone else know that The Incredibles was a spoof on Watchmen? Even Edna's rant is based on the death of Dollar Bill

In bribes.
To this inanimate carbon rod.
Also, don't clerics have the best saving throws? Dont count him out completely.
Sigh. Why can't firefox tell me when I make a typo that's a real word (and grammatically correct)? That's a feature I really want, Mozilla!

I don't know. I think we'd still have http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Bang_Theory. 'Cause comedy writers are usually Jewish, amiright?

You want Firefox to use more RAM?
