The funny thing is that you can go to Africa or South America today and you can still find hunter-gatherers and subsistence farmers living side by side.
I'm sorry but a tin-foil hat is not going to cut it. You need an Armadillo hat. You have seen how a transformer is made from plates? Well same with an Armadillo hat - you need the overlapping plates to prevent the formation of Eddy Currents.
Nowadays every half decent city has an electronics recycling centre or two. In Calgary, you can take your old schtuff to Staples and Future Shop (Best Buy in the US). The recyclers pick it up there.
Hmm, no, first we had Bulletin Boards, Xchat and Gopher.
There hasn't really been anything new on the internet since about 1970.
People think that if they add colour or more pixels to something that it becomes a new idea, but it is merely an incremental improvement of the same old crap.
I think that figure is way too low if they include spam in the equation. I don't think that Spam is 'user generated content' - it is more likely 'user targeted content'.
Maybe I need to frag M$ into this as an example: 'Microsoft dominates 100% of the Windows Desktop Market'...
If you drive a Sidekick around a sharp right hand turn, and try to accellerate to join the traffic, the gearbox will downshift TWO gears, accellerate wildly to 7500 revs, hit the limiter protection, almost shut down the engine and then accellerate again. The net result is that at the moment when you need to accellerate, the car goes into a screaming fit and almost comes to a stand still instead. There is no fix for that one, except try not to do it.
Long ago, my Volkswagen accellerator pedal broke off - because the floor rusted out - and there was no factory fix for that either. I had to weld in some sheet metal myself.
I also had a Ford, a Chevy, a BMW and a Mitsubishi that had the accellerator pedal get stuck in the floor mat on occasion. This is a very common problem and the fix is super easy - pull the damn floor mat away from the pedal - duh...
It seems to me that people are spoilt techno weenies and don't want to maintain their cars properly and then bitch and complain because things eventually wears out and break.
I'll wait for the miniature version. I heard a rumour that it will have a phone and camera built in, so it will actually be more than just a picture frame.
The plugin still downloads the whole PDF file before rendering it from the/tmp directory. On Linux, the PDF plugin is decidedly more clunky to use especially when you have to view multiple files as in your example.

Hmm, and then call tech support because your phone doesn't work inside your apartment...

Actually Microsoft *did* invent Apple, the same way Al Gore invented the internet.
TFA is obviously written by someone that has never even seen a slum, nevermind lived in one.
Uhmm, it would be really hard to take out a UAV flying at 4000 feet with a shotgun...

Well, Hibernate does does that. The only problem is that it is not stable on all machines. It works once in a while on my laptop, usually not.
Nope. Gases mix. If not, we would all be dead since there would be no oxygen down here.
In most (all?) countries, all laws are required to be available to the public to read. A secret law like this one is simply unenforceable by default.
Soooo, I don't care if the Free driver is slower. I'd be happy if it works and doesn't crash. Presently I'm forced to use the VESA driver.
Size doesn't matter. There is infinite storage capacity in /dev/null.
Damn, with a friendly IT department like that, Norfolk don't need enemy malware.
Even a simple Windows Repair Install would have fixed the machines and kept the data files.
"First we had personal websites"

I wonder how much Sagan was paid for that bit of totally useless work...
Google, the company that bought Double Click. Privacy is against their business model. Nuf sed.
Turn netbook around, click space bar. How hard is that?

Not anymore - the Freedom Fonts are good enough.

OK, let's see how many readers get that pun...

I wonder whether a quintillion is bigger or smaller than a gazillion?
Hmmm, a hosted email system is a bazaar, not a cathedral. There are no doors or walls to speak of, much like Haiti after the earthquake...
