Mine all say "paused" under "Activity Controls" [1] Out of interest, why does Google use the term "paused" rather than "off"? It makes me suspect that they are still saving it, but just hiding the fac

Indeed. The Barbara Streisand effect... The NYT must be loving this. So many ad impressions on their site over this. Amazon's PR are doing a god awful job putting this to bed. Amazon should just release a statement that says: &quot

If I have understood this correctly, Google are losing out on people searching for Yahoo, Google, Facebook and other large web properties, which people either can't be bothered to type in full into the address bar, or are clueless to t

I would have thought this was relatively obvious. Many new ideas and applications are marketed on HN quite validly under Show HN. However, the first pass at marketing an application may not reflect its form further down the line. For exampl

It is surely easier to target and then hack specific engineers at VPN and certificate authorities, then steal their private keys and bingo, a great little lookup key database. GCHQ and Belgacom spring to mind: http://www.spiegel.

If renouncing is not allowed by the other country (i.e. Brazil), or if the renunciation is too expensive or difficult. I.e. you wouldn't want to go to Mogadishu to renounce your Somali nationality.

Sorry, I meant "parking fines". Mobile auto-correct... "Parking fonts" must just be extremely hard to read fonts especially for no parking signs!

Just shows that parking fonts are used as an indiscriminate taxation on car owners. Local authorities use them to raise revenue and have become dependent on them. This leads to an abuse of traffic control which instead of being related to s

This also bugged me: The state is undermining the work ethic: most people enjoy a 37-hour working week, and three- day weekends are common. Sounds like a good idea to me. Why do people need to work 50 hours a week exactly? I ima

Many people who have bought diesels have made the decision based on the wrong criteria. They bought it because the fuel is cheaper and you get more miles to the gallon. However people that only drive short distances daily (less than 15 minu

Does the free Android reader app still work with v4 as well?

I'm still on v3. I have the family licence. I'd like to move to v4+ but I don't see a cost effective upgrade route, for windows, ios and android in my case.

German employees generally just don't step out of line like this; it just isn't in their culture. They have a structured, hierarchical and rule abiding work culture. I just don't buy the theory that the engineering team under

Not necessarily. The privacy rules protect personal data of EU citizens. You can share as many cat pictures as you want without safe harbour. However share my name, contacts, address and date of birth in the US and by proxy then share it wi
