It's not opt-in for existing customers. At some point they will be presented with a screen that forces them to make a choice. If you think that all mistakes with the blocker will be ironed out, then you don't have any idea how la

Have you got any precedents for this happening?

Nope, it's opt-out for new subscribers and existing subscribers have to choose to opt in or out. There are many reasons why someone would want to use this extension. Sexual abuse support sites are currently being blocked by the filte

To be fair, Word isn't that great either. I spend a lot of time shouting at it and for about 95% of the things I do, Google Docs is absolutely fine and not tied to a specific computer. It has become my default word processor.

I'll second that. We had a mortgage with them for a while and the general impression was one of a constant state of chaos and incompetence.

Being given new information on a subject I know about which contradicts my understanding might make me change my mind. Just showing me that I apparently answered the question differently wouldn't, for the obvious reason that I know about t

These must have been questions on which the participants did not feel particularly strongly one way or the other. I'm pretty sure I would notice a 100% reversal in my stance on something I have a prior opinion on.

I should stress that this is designed to be a way of getting people interested in using it, rather than a definitive guide that is accurate in any way.

Quite. It's not faith. It's not even close. It's the temporary granting of a small amount of trust that the theoretical physicist hasn't cocked up somewhere.

Is it just me or is the abstract little more than gibberish?

That is a huge "If" at the start there. I'm highly skeptical of their claims - especially the "50 feet" bit.

The only real difference is that this light is uses a "secure" torx fastener on the assumption that a would-be thief doesn't have one. They are certainly not a "special screwdriver", being obtainable from any good hardware place.

Of course, phrasing new regulations to cover only that specific application of cookies while allowing any other legitimate or future uses is going to be interesting. And by interesting I mean pretty much impossible.

I totally agree. We are seeing the emergence of completely new uses for web pages, i.e. using a web page as an interactive tool rather than a content delivery system. At the moment the infrastructure just isn't there to provide proper sup

Not big or world changing but something I would have thought people would find useful. It's a mortgage calculator that actually works out the useful numbers for you, i.e. repayment costs taking inflation into account, discounted periods, e
