And again, out of the user's real control... Sure, the security seems sound, but you still put all your eggs in someone else's basket, so to say, with any such cloud service.

And I only found out after starting to manually block connections with a firewall... Authentec's TrueSuite became a must-install for some reason if you want to use their drivers an…

Well, with the way it's been going, you'll soon have no choice but to rely on cloud services. Everything is a goddamn service now - even my fingerprint reader wants an Internet con…

Well, damn... No worries, it will just make these things: http://www.gsmserver.com/shop/gsm/sigma_key.php cheaper, more popular and reliable...

It's not self-examination, it's taking action based on that self-examination, which is much more difficult to do... Most people don't want to face their shortcomings, but of those …

Well, 8 seems better at managing memory and processor time... completely ignoring the awful Metro UI and the weird driver incompatibilities, that's about the only good change...

True, but try to tell that to the millions of people who believe creationism IS science... To make it simple, just let the kids choose and decide for themselves...

Believing something does not make it true... And hey, if the world was created 6000 years ago by some omnipotent being and made to look like it's several billion years old for some…

I don't mind creationism being taught side by side with evolution. But replacing the latter with the former is plain idiotic/dumb/stupid. Obviously, if you teach them side by side,…

I believe it's possible to do with AdBlock Plus and the Element Hiding Helper addons in Firefox, with a custom rule. I use it to hide a few annoying toolbars and news bars on sever…

Yeah, it doesn't work for me on Firefox 18 (Adblock and NoScript disabled )...

Food is so important, yet so cheap that farmers can not sustain themselves. When people really start starving, food costs will rise and farmers will be the new rich. There is no ov…

So, nothing new, then?

Another piece of advice: take your diplomas and expertise in Law, Journalism, Medicine and others to developing countries. They may not pay as much, but the jobs are there...

I don't know, choosing the middle option seems like a good thing - get the best possible product for the least possible amount of money...

I thought they were peasants who armed themselves instead of some well trained assassins...

I think regime changes will be done from the inside more often than not in the future - it's been proven to be more effective (and cheaper) than sending thousands of soldiers and m…

Going off caffeine gives me 2-3 days of indescribable headaches, then it's a pronounced fatigue for another 2 weeks. It ain't pretty. However, if coffee must be eliminated from you…

I don't know, it seems to me they're focusing a lot on automation (to reduce costs, among other things).

Well, exactly - if there was more incentive for wind power, that number would be much higher.

The installation is the most expensive part. The hardware itself is cheaper in the US, most people just don't know how to install it properly (and there's no detailed guide on the …

I doubt this policy is going to last long - the biggest and most important Instagram users as far as I can tell are celebrities (incl. professionals and other popular persons), and…

"I personally hate guns. I have never owned or even fired one. I wish they didn’t exist, but they do" - Everyone should try to put at least two dozen rounds down the range. It's a …

Oh yeah, that kills them pretty fast. I've had the same experience with my backup cellphone and mp3 player, had to buy new batteries.

That's very weird: my laptops stay plugged and on 24/7 for months at a time, and the batteries still last around 2.5 hours. These are 4 year old Li-Ion batteries I'm talking about …
