Hold the phone, was there consensus that Ubuntu was the best OS for cloud computing? 'Cause I wasn't aware of that if it's the case.

Anything that takes away some of the ridiculous powers that credit card providers have is a plus (as long as it's not mandatory), though your right, this isn't even in the same ballpark as BitCoin.

I just picked up an Android phone and one of the first updates changed the Android Market to Google Play, which first of all was very confusing, and second of all, struck me as a desperate rebranding of the App Store at a time when Google (

As long as that inbox is still checked manually for real feedback, that sounds like an amicable solution.

How would giving them read-only access be significantly better than the current situation of them demanding read-write access? They aren't asking so they can pretend to be you, they're asking so they can snoop on what you've posted that isn

"You simply can't use the system properly when a background-process uses all ressources. And one normally want do something else than wait for the system. I consider such behaviour a bug." Agreed, but to add to your point, if your backgroun

It's cute that this pops up every few years, and I think it points to a steady (if slow) attraction of new users to Linux.

I've worked at one of the warehouses for an electronics retailer, and I rather enjoyed it. They didn't outsource to a temp agency, instead they had their own HR department. The starting pay was far above average for similar jobs with other

Obviously the lawsuit was a non-starter, any company that realized this would retract the complaint, but I was impressed by the apology. It seems like in every suit I hear about where the company was wrong, they lose the case but still tr

That is why I made as much noise as possible about the (IMO) abusive throttling practices of my previous ISP. Don't take this cr*p lying down, call them and tell them youre unhappy, ask them to disable it on your connection (they won't) and

"dental coverage isn't part of the plan" Healthcare, at least where I'm from, doesn't cover preventative dentistry, but it does include anything life threatening which includes the situation from the article. I would sincerely hope the US s

I feel like a big part of the reason this will pass in Canada is because they don't have as many large tech companies vocally opposed to said bill.

I think this stands as a perfect example that I can use to educate friends and family on why having access to the source code for the programs that you use is important. When someone is proud of their work, they like to show it off, and thi

Not that I'll get my way, but I think we should bring back the days when they didn't pre-screen interview questions. The Nixon/Frost interview is still my favorite of all, I found it more telling about the President than any interview with

"The politicians should be accountable for these things, or they should say in advance 'we try this for a month and if it doesn't work or is inefficient we stop it'." I think this goes back to how politicians are deathly afraid of ever, any

I think the OP meant that there should be a 'buy' option with no commercials and unlimited viewings, and a rent option possibly with commercials and a limited number of viewings.

While I do wholeheartedly agree with you, lets keep in mind that these are politicians we're talking about. Baby steps. This week, get them to oppose SOPA/PIPA, next week, get them to be more transparent.

If that's the case, I can't wait to go buy a bunch of music CDs and software on Ebay to pay with PayPal, only so that I can pirate them and then get my money back. /sarcasm What a shortsighted policy, but then again PayPal has never been kn

This really bothers me as well, but I was attributing it (perhaps erroneously) to my use of NoScript. I'd prefer if it was an option you could disable somewhere in the settings.

I don't find Doctorow 'less offensive' because I honestly didn't consider talks by RMS to be offensive at all, rather they were just a bit eccentric because he would go off on tangents about what might happen if we didn't align with his vie

You could have pointed out said hypocrisy without the ad hominem attacks, in fact I wouldn't have felt compelled to down-vote you if you had. Instead your comment reads more like a petty tantrum based on some grudge you (apparently, continu

I don't think this is so much a question of liability as it is one of customer perception. If 'GoDaddy Secured' sites aren't really secure and start getting hacked, then 'secured by GoDaddy' signs will mean no more than "hackable in 10 minu

That's a bug. In their advertising policy, but a bug none the less. Treat it as such: if you care passionately enough about that program (website) then file a bug report (get in touch via 'contact us') to inform them of the problem. If you
