Interesting behavior when you do an in-page search for a language.

I have never understood why this has not been done far sooner and why the big browsers don't at least support the option. It makes absolutely no sense to use up vertical space on wide-screens (which everyone now has) on tabs that then

Kind of paints a rather questionable picture about Target and their policies, especially in light of their past FUBAR that put millions of their customers' data in the hands of criminals. You would think, at this point, Target would be

So what, that changes absolutely nothing about the monopolistic system of our infrastructure. All this will lead to is hidden collusion on the part of the providers just like is done in the mobile phone and data sector. We have a failed gov

Can someone please educate me as to what the differentiation is between past email protocols, messaging protocols, and these types of APIs? I'm starting to get this sense that we are just moving towards a singular communications protoc

It has always struck me as little more than a fraud when employees are hired with promises of equity and then additional rounds or other trickery simply dilute their share and contributions to approaching zero and they walk away having put

Other countries aren't warmongers that are constantly looking for the next large scale conflict they can use to rationalize irrational levels of spending. No other country has had any kind of conflict where a drone would have provided

What I'm most curious about is WTF happens to the bikes that are stolen? Are they just resold locally or is there some sort of international bike theft and transportation ring sending high dollar bikes to Guatemala?

Another argument for breaking up Wall Street and other hives of corruption like Washington DC. There is no reason that those two locations in particular should need to by physically concentrated around a physical location like that. Some wi

I can't recall the exact process, but you can bookmark a certain Project Gutenberg page on the Kindle that puts basically all of their works at your fingertips. May I also plug Distributed Proofreaders ( http://www.pgdp.net&#

I don't think I can agree with that. To a certain extent, I think this will be another one of those fronts where modern technology tries to breach fundamental and human rights. What should give you the right, just because you can fly s

That is an important point. The ironically named Patriot Act contains a deeper, clandestine layer a Treason Act, if you will, that can compel American companies to act in ways that are illegal in other jurisdiction. It is kept secret and an

It is really time that a new form of government is developed. It simply does not work this way and, in many ways, at the very least, the current form of democracy is insufficient and incapable of providing proper accountability. There reall

Congratulations on realizing that. Too many sites and services throw all kinds of barriers and trip hazards in front of you before you can even take a look at whether you would want to stick around. It makes no sense. People should be motiv

I don't think it's quite well understood how important this is. In many places, especially where they are most important, those relays and exit points are not controlled by whom one would expect, let alone a diverse interest group

There has been a suggestion that the sourceforge post is a canary triggered in a "self-destruct" sequence. I am wondering if the suggestion to use bitLocker, which as you point out is not available to everyone, is also a signal. I

I just don't quite understand the panic about microsoft not supporting XP anymore. It's not like that was a surprise announcement or even that the deadline was just met. It was April 8th....and TrueCrypt just now shut down in pani

Dear world: We can execute you all day long without regard, but we can of course not execute an American, because that would be horrible. I hope I am no longer around when a different, tyrannical regime develops a technology that gives them

We are already at unsustainable population levels and the majority of populations are still growing and countries with negative population growth are constantly urged to promote population growth. I realize that fertility rates are dropping

by wahsd 12y ago
The whole premise for the purpose always bothers me; the argument that with population projections what we have to do is accommodate unsustainable growth with "sustainable" buildings. There is something really weird about humanity

That is not inconsistent at all. They were planning it and part of that plan was to hold out extorting and defrauding America as long as they could before initiating the roll-out plan when a threat to their monopoly and collusion is detecte

I would bet money it has to do with business decisions that relate to carrier demands to support Android. People forget that Android is not in the same position as iOS to impose its will on carriers. Rather, the power dynamics are rather si

There is just plain something screwed up with a system that rewards someone like Steve Ballmer with any kind of stocks whatsoever, let alone fire him before he has a chance to ruin all kinds of sure things.

That map is no where near accurate. Most of Europe is essentially nothing but a cycling and running route and should essentially be lit up red all over.

Government and corporate oppression go hand in hand because they have the same intentions, exploitation and control.

I could imagine how you could cross-reference data from the towers and start seeing a pattern. You might even be able to track it to a specific location over time. Seems totally doable with access to enough information.

It's a pretty significant move and a big shift towards Agent Zuckerberg's ultimate goal of replacing the internet and freedom of information and privacy. Can someone give me some perspective on why Mozilla's Persona is not us

I don't think you know what the rat-race is. The rat race is arbitrage... it is the profiteering from the value you can provide, but don't realize. It is selling yourself for less than the person you work for is selling you net.
