Wouldn't a better solution be exempting Mozilla from these checks? I mean really.. it's MOZILLA. The same one that Google, Microsoft, et al are teaming up with them to improve web docs but at the same time some (does gmail and hto

Speaking of that, it's curious that there isn't a piracy version of Steam that integrates with tor, torrents and such. How bizarre and awesome (in the way stuxnet was awesome tech but not exactly well meant one) of a concept would

Take a hike to Poland if you want to marvel at this tech in action. Paying contactlessly that is. Called "zbliżeniowo" in Polish, that's also the word to say in response to being told the total if you want to use the card wit

Just because they were optimizing for length doesn't mean they threw mnemonic potential out the window. And either way it's quite arbitrary because almost all command names are still based on English that is a second language to m

It might also be an indication that the police doesn't risk wasting the judge's time and get shitted on if they don't have rock solid reasons for suspecting someone. Is a bit over 20k drug related warrants over 10 years reall
