Really? I have had a look at bootswatch.com using IE8 and a lot of the stuff (certainly columns, drop-dows, and navbars) doesn't work at all. I just get javascript errors. I would contend that if you want something that works in IE8 th

They must already be using the best lubricant in the world, because they've been screwing the American public for years without anyone realising.

The site crashed Firefox almost immediately and died in Chrome after a few minutes on my laptop.

It's all very well saying she should have asked for ID, but lets face it - if you were suddenly faced with a bunch of armed strangers yelling at you, would you be thinking straight? The story did say that she panicked, and I can't

Yes, that is correct. It is an EU law. It is an absolutely horrible, ill thought out law, but it is a law, so we all have to comply :-(

When I first hear about the pending shutoff I first tried Bloglines / Netvibes. It seemed alright, but there was a weird bug that caused a big panel to take up the bottom third of the screen a lot of the time. I then tried Feedly, but

GMarks. There are a couple of Chrome extensions for integrating with Google Bookmarks, but they can't touch GMarks on Firefox.

Americans always seem to be boasting how they are better at things than everyone else. Well now they can add 'killing Americans' to the list. As Homer Simpson would say: USA, USA, USA :-)

I have heard that in Australia the word "rooting" is used to mean "f%%%%%%". So it seems quite appropriate when Sony say they want to "root" your computer :|

I tried the different views on this. Maps 3D appears to be identical to Satellite, and Terrain appears to be the same as the normal Map view.

If most people who use it leave it on the default setting of uploading pictures, etc. to Google+, and the right people start using it then more people will start using G+ just to see their pictures. If those people start using G+ more then

I know exactly what you mean about them crippling their devices. Quite a few years ago now I purchased a portable Sony MiniDisc recorder and a good quality microphone with the intention of recording local gigs, uploading them to my computer

Good point. If you put a final clause on your ToS that said "Reading these terms of service is a criminal offence" could you make criminals out of everyone who reads your ToS? :-)

The law seems to be fundamentally broken when it comes to minors. This is basically saying "we don't think you are mature enough to look at this content, but if you do look at it we will consider you mature enough to take criminal responsib

Very interesting thanks. It would still be nice to have it built in to the browser. Who's going to pay for a proxy to do it?

What the hell is up with the hideous menu on that site? It pops up on hovering, but then you can't get rid of it.

What I would really like to see in Chrome and Firefox is something that could intelligently fix the spelling and grammar of pages you are viewing. Then I wouldn't have to put up with some of the hideous spelling atrocities that get perpetra

It seems to me that it didn't need much in the way of support. I have been using it for several years and have never experienced so much as a glitch. That could be down to excellent support, of course, but to me it seemed a mature product t

I agree with you to a point. However, one of the big problems as I see it is that we don't have any clue what creates consciousness, and can't even agree what defines consciousness. It is very difficult to create something when you're not s

I would say two things in response to this. Firstly, think of the plight of the screenwriter who has to a) adapt a story that will take most people about a week to read into a three hour film; and b) has to create something that will make l
