Excel has track changes, and Powerpoint can merge two different versions of a slideshow together. Word can do both, of course. Yes, it's slightly clunky, but quite effective as long as you know how to use it: for example, you usually w

Tracked changes show up in bright red, blue, and green colors. Difficult to miss, as long as you don't hide them. There are also ways to ensure that a "final" revision of a document is saved. The hidden versioning I talked ab

Office already has features to track and merge different copies of documents together. Assuming you haven't disabled it, it also has (hidden) builtin versioning, allowing a git-like three-way merge with all the accuracy improvements th

I am reminded of Steve Yegge's "Platforms" rant. > Our Google+ team took a look at the aftermarket and said: "Gosh, it looks like we need some games. Let's go contract someone to, um, write some games for us.&quo

There have been attempts in this space before and they haven't worked out real well. AirTime is one such example ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airtime.com )

Strange that they didn't just install a huge metal bar in front of the tunnel, like in this video (11 foot 8, the "toughest bridge in the world"): http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=3c0_1351184890

How is this different, from, say, 23andme? Does it do whole genome sequencing in addition to SNP chips?

This is actually kind of in line with Republican beliefs. Small government and less federal interference.

I wonder how much lacking a privacy policy / data use policy hurts signups for something like this.

by jonchang 14y ago
Yes, that's one of the reasons why police use them. As for what kind of ammo is supposed to be more "humane", it depends on how you define the word. Keep in mind that law enforcement and militaries tend to use different kinds of weapons, an

quirksmode has more historical background and actually explains what happens during capture and bubble and when you might want to use it. http://www.quirksmode.org/js/events_order.html

It's kind of unfortunate that this had to happen. This will only further entrench the WebKit hegemony in mobile devices.

This. Say what you will about the Ribbon interface introduced in 2007, but Tables are really the reason to use Excel.

This is surprising -- I know! -- but competing companies sometimes advertise against each other. Microsoft have been doing this for quite a while (see Gmail man [1]) and they seem to think that the privacy aspect is enough of a weakness in

This is barely newsworthy. It's being incorporated under the broader (and more nuanced) diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders.

Very interesting idea and it seems like a reasonably plausible issue. However, If you skin your Firefox browser [1], your skin also shows up in the search bar. It'd definitely be a very subtle sign of something being wrong though. [1]: htt

Developers are not fungible. The social integration work was mostly HTML5 and JavaScript, and Firefox OS is partly kernel and OS work (B2G), and partly HTML5/JavaScript work (Gaia). 64-bit builds on Windows requires Windows developers, who

I believe the idea is that there aren't enough Windows people to work on both 64-bit and the Metro UI for Firefox. Metro is a priority, so 64-bit is getting mothballed for the near future. [1] https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mozilla.dev.ap
