This is an edge case. Most of the time your average user is after the text and not the shitty formatting. Copy-Paste as WYSIWYG should be default, Copy-Special should be an expert-only option.

There's still a lot of societal pressure to pass exams to enter a "good" university in Japan (here "good" is an in-country measure - only a worldwide basis there are a lot of universities measured as better than alm

Electric bicycles are pretty big in Japan - a lot of mothers and housewives use them to get around all the time as they don't tire you as much as normal bikes. Also, there's a few bicycles these days with two childseats, so that&#

I get your point about the security of the system as a whole: my point isn't that the algorithms are on the list, just that they're at the top of the list. RC4 may have helped TLS to succeed, but it's 2013 - surely there&#x27

I'm sorry, but I'm only a passing student of cryptography, and I've known that both RC4 and MD5 have been broken for quite some time now. I don't remember the timeline, but if you're implementing code for algorithms

They go on to call him "a blogger and civil liberties activist who lives in Rio de Janeiro". In comparison, Wikipedia lists him as an "American political commentator, lawyer, columnist, blogger, and author": http:/

That sounds like a doctor's job - they might prescribe a fairly cheap medicine, but knowing what kind of medicine to use is a different art entirely. Here the only reason why the company is able to charge a large amount of money is because

And perhaps some smarts that kick in when some heuristics detect when you are being assaulted and upload imagery of that event straight away. (I'm taking this from Transmetropolitan if anyone's in the know)

The bearded guy raised the point of needing to trust the vehicle to not fall over, and there was a lot of talk about how it looked and what kind of cool features were included. But before I purchased it, I'd definitely want to have a test r

You could perhaps look at "developing" in terms of economic growth - most "developed" countries have relatively low growth as their economies are mature. That's not to say that all countries with low growth have mature economies of course,

But fruit has fibre, which counteracts the sugar in them, so eating fruit is ok. But fruit juice is a different matter as the pulp has been removed.

Bear in mind that the term "confidential" only applies inside the company - that company needs to ensure its security is good enough. However, when it comes to a court case you have document discovery and I presume this "confidential" docum

If (most of) the rest of the developed world can do "socialized" medicine reasonably well, then what's so special about the US that would prevent this? Just the size and scale for fuckups? There are occasional health system scandals in Aus

How childish. I have to laugh when I see video or pictures from the US where the "finger" is censored. For anyone who takes offence from that: grow up. It's a finger, it's not hurting anyone. If you're offended by that it's because you choo
