"So the bar, which sits at the bottom of a website, is a new, less intrusive option to use Heyzap." Arguably so. However, I've always found bars like that to be much more intrusive than a little widget towards the side of a website - one ca

Unless I'm entirely wrong, most of those older tablet PCs have keyboards (and larger screens, worse battery lives, and so forth). That's the difference - and, because multitouch/touchscreens as the only input is a big thing right now, it's

It would reduce corruption - temporarily, at least, even though the killings would probably end up being very political (a bad thing! Consider how many would take it as a chance to get rid of their enemies). It would also scare bunches of p

My sub-$400 netbook (an EeePC 1005PE) gets around 10 hours (with bluetooth off, the screen turned down, a customized kernel from the Arch User Repository, and setting SuperHE to the full-optimization setting - but wifi on, which is probably

I think that we're all treating this as a game, under the assumption that if we figure out who onetimetoken is he'll tell us, as it supports his point that privacy is dead. Also, it wouldn't be fun if we assumed that he will deny it if iden

"Cash flow positive" sounds pretty straight-forward to me (would you care to explain how it is not?); sure, it may not have been profitable over its entire lifespan (which is perhaps your definition?), but once your cash flow in a given per

Chromium 4.0.249.78 (36714), Arch linux, installed a week or two ago (so pretty much the latest) Works perfectly; it's just you. Have you tried sending just a plain text file of maybe a KB max to yourself? Perhaps google is blocking whateve

On the other hand, if you're going to bring in machinery, you need to make sure that there's enough space to stop them from crushing the other coffins - which might negate any space-savings from burying people vertically. Whereas with this,

The campaign video makes it pretty clear that this is satire; I find it a bit disturbing that people seem to be taking it seriously. ... on the other hand, if it isn't satire, I am extremely scared.

I'm sorry if I'm completely misunderstanding, but couldn't a hacker generate a rainbow table once - of all the common passwords, say - and then, once they get a copy of the database in which the password hashes are stored, simply compare th

Yes, you can; just block all of Google's known IP blocks in /etc/hosts.deny, or send all their domains to 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts A bit more than the average user can manage, and not so good as actually opting out (in the sense of getting G

According to [1], it was because the costs of connecting are too high. Since Google voice is a free service, I (at least) see no issue with it; you get what you pay for. However, saying that Apple never did that while Google did makes no se

X11 supports that type of scrolling on my Eee running Arch (I don't remember if it was there by default or if I had to turn it on, though), albeit only vertically. Note that the Eee's trackpad doesn't have multitouch; thus, I see no reason

Neither of them should. China, in using the US as precedent for doing so, is merely finding an excuse for something it wanted to do anyways - this is not a situation of looking at the US and trying to match capabilities, as you seem to be i
