You could polarize the eyes differently, so you don't need glasses for 3D movies anymore.

But sailing vessels can't go faster than the wind directly downwind, this car does.

FTFA:

the propeller is not turned by the wind. The wind pushes the vehicle forward, and once moving the wheels turn the propeller. The propeller spins in the opposite direction to that expected, pushing the wind backwards, which in turn pushes the car forwards, turning the wheels, and thus turning the propeller faster still.

I wonder how many people bother reading privacy statements anyway, I know I don't.
Just assume fiddling with setting is futile, and whatever information you put online can never be removed and will eventually be shared with the rest of the world.

This especially goes for free sites, since they're making money from advertising, they'll make more money from better targeted advertising, and the main reason all your contacts get to see your info is because "we're sharing your information with everybody" sounds just a bit better than "we're only sharing your information with everybody willing to pay for it".

Is really that useful? If you whitelist then should also be allowed, along with , and . Before you know it people will be asking for , or even !

It is only an examply of their proposed solution.
Instead of the whole site you would only hide elements that are dangerous to click, and show an explanation why they are disabled, with a nice target="_top" link to the same page.

No, they only made the game run without CD.

7. Deleted files are removed from the screen

You know the point in the film. The good guys have just got access to a computer and are looking at the secret files, when suddenly the bad guy hacks into the computer and starts deleting files. Not only are they gone from the hard disk, but they disappear from the application that they're open in.

Our heroes look confused, and start wildly typing away in an effort to stop the process. However, not once do they think to turn the computer off and remove the hard disk, or unplug it from the internet to stop the hacker from having any access to it.

In Hollywood land there's no such thing as an undelete utility so the files are apparently gone for ever. It's enough to make you cry.

Seems like they actually got this right, at least when I delete files all my nautilus windows update, and good luck to anyone who tries to recover files deleted from an ext4 filesystem...

Insert bashing of other OSes that don't do this here.

Are you saying incompetent people are no longer the majority?

Not a lot of politicians younger than 21, so I suppose they'll start burning books next...

This is /., he was obviously speaking about a hypothetical fiancée.
