It's not like you NEED a powerful graphics card (or so I would assume). I guess there is a reason the quality sliders go down to "Low" and 800x600 is in the resolution list.

I think they should be forced to display a window with 12 color schemes after installation so people must pick one. Or maybe that's just an EU thing.

Features were removed from the default Gnome config because Windows users complained about them? I have a hard time believing that.

It doesn't make you a spammer. Just less trustworthy. Who people want to receive emails from is up to them. And if they decide they don't want emails from people who have registered their domain anonymously then so be it.

I doubt that's the case here. And if that was the goal there are far better JS compression techniques available.
Submission + - Google Re-enabled Chinese Censorship (google.com) 3
hackingbear writes: Google has rather quietly re-enabled search result censoring, as evident in this search query for June 4 incident. The search returns censored results not quite related to the incident and the censorship foot note is displayed. The same query returned uncensored results a few hours after Google made its China announcement. (I tested it.) According to news reports from Hong Kong and oversea Chinese media (here is the Google translation,) Google are negotiating with the Chinese government which so far has not taken any real actions but just made some standard general statements on the matter. Has Google backed down? It could be just Google's negotiation tactic, but it also casts a doubt on their stance and motive.

Oh come on. A guy implements a subset of SWF1.0 in JavaScript that only requires everyone to change how they embed .swf files in their site. This is huge. The web revolution is right around the corner I tell you.

What is it with these single letter variable names in the code? I thought we were past that.

They rather offer the info they get through these new channels to the newspaper exclusively for a certain time then to never get their hands on it at all.

"a potentially dangerous chore, since a misstep could cripple the PC"
Wow, what a statement. There are endless ways to cripple your PC if you have no clue what you're doing. Hell, if you put the --delete in a 'find' call at the wrong place, that could cripple your PC as well.
You know what else is extremely dangerous and will most definitely cripple your PC? Ignorance about the system you are using. Computers are complicated machines. You can't hope to use one without having to learn how your system works.
It's like when your car breaks down for the first time and someone explains to you that you need to check the oil every once in a while. At some point you gotta look under the hood, otherwise you will break it.
So please spare me these observations about the outrageous hazards that come with your Windows operating system.
