   It is safe, and on my stock international S3 with Chrome as the browser it opens the dialer and displays my IMEI number, as advertised. It seems to me that there's no reason at all to allow URI's beginning with tel: as the source of a frame

   Excellent point. I'm currently working through a mountain of email from a hideous sounding site called Meet Me that somebody's subscribed to using my Gmail address. Not only can I not unsubscribe from the site, I can't even report it to the

   So, just to make sure I'm keeping up, the UK is threatening an act of war against Ecuador in order to extradite an Australian who's wanted by the US to Sweden. okithinkigotit.

   Good point - I wouldn't buy any of those even if they did show up on a What's New page.

    Pretty cool. I was all ready to come up with some canned whine about no paleo options but there they are. Very nice.

    Those people call "lists that don't involve math" an "Excel". They have never heard the term "spreadsheet".

    It looks like a nice tool. I think you need to be a bit clearer about how you intend to use people's private information. Giving you a permanent license to use my data to market your site seems like a bad deal for me. What if I get famous a

    I love the irony of being fired for making up shit about Dylan, a noted "borrower" of other people's ideas himself!

    Yep, we tried it and switched away from it because it simply didn't work; some messages failed to get through and it didn't seem to click with the team at all. I can't fathom what about it could be worth over a billion dollars.

    I do like this feature of Windows, although it sometimes leads to the following non-optimal workflow: Start -> i-t-u-n-e-s -> Hit Enter -> Am now reading "About iTunes" -> Alt-F4 -> Start -> i-t-u-n-e-s -> Choose

    Given Mr Stephenson's extremely solid knowledge of the foundations of capitalism (e.g. the System of the World trilogy) it seems especially rich. Or maybe he learned a thing or two while writing that.

    Nope. I'm not a fool and I do have a family, but I ended up in a very well-paid but soul-destroying job in a ReasonablyBigCo. I quit to work for a well-run SmallCo for less money because I am a happier person now. I don't regret it even for

    Um, not so much. From a reply in that very thread: "The link supplied by @C.Woods goes to a recent forum posting of mine, but that post has nothing to do with hacking. My post refers to earlier posts that describe scenarios under which some
