Is this a response to (lagging) customer demand, to whom CRTs have fallen into a niche, or MPAA demand, furious they can't apply DRM to an entrenched video output?

If federal buildings had good, consistent Wi-Fi coverage, they could switch over to using VoIP services on their smartphones.

This would let federal employees use less "plan minutes" from the government's contract with the wireless carrier, as well as not use their 3G network for data as much.

In the end, this means the government ultimately paying a smaller phone bill.

So, yes, this does result in them "STOP SPENDING more money."

Opera Link was introduced 3 years ago, and lets you do exactly that (back up all settings to "the cloud", included in the default install, etc.)

I was pretty impressed, at least.

In case you haven't kept up with the news, there was a patch a while ago that allowed you to run D2/LoD with no CD in the drive, as long as you copied the some files from the disc to your hard drive.

I'm pretty sure the neighborhood kids are more likely to know what to do when Mr. Public's computer gets stuck at "mup.sys" than "Error 17".

Do they have any guarantee that all of their users have a browser that supports HTTPS?

To Facebook, it's better to allow access to as many users as possible, than lock some out in the name of security.

I assume you've already begun doing your part.

By the way, how's your computer running without a hard-drive?

That experiment would be more valid if you had different items.

Use a can of food he wouldn't eat, or something that's not even food, and then the cat food in a different container, like a Ziplock bag. Seperate the stimuli artifically, such as wafting cat-food scents at him, or an audio recording of a can opening.

Try to figure out which stimuli he's reacting to.

This may be illegal depending on legality (car can check with the GPS?), but helping others is not relevant to the machine's duty of getting you safely to your destination.
 

Helping others is not relevant to the machine's duty of getting you safely to your destination.
 

It's not a driver's job, nor that of the driver's machine, to enforce the law.
 

Helping others is not relevant to the machine's duty of getting you safely to your destination. Also, getting the police to ticket and/or arrest you for doing this is probably a hindrance to the machine's duty of getting you safely to your destination.
 

It should; most use wireless signals to trigger traffic lights to change in their favor, so there's no reason the machine can't be equipped to detect the emergency vehicle's presence, and react accordingly.
 

Being both illegal, and dangerous, it is probably a hindrance to the machine's duty of getting you safely to your destination.
 

Nothing's stopping you from adding GPS bookmarks of your favorite casinos and brothels.
 

Courts regularly hold legally responsible companies who sell unsafe products.

Of course, being a computer AI, there's nothing stopping a person from coding their own Chaotic-Evil virtual chauffeur.

Too bad the back of your phone has cosmetic damage. Maybe if you had some type of case on hand, you could cover it up and never worry about it again.

No one drives in Manhatten anymore, there're too many cars.

It's almost ironic, seeing as how Opera is the only mainstream* browser with a built-in Bittorrent client.

*For rather small values of mainstream

Firstly, the only thing including more samples in a test does is give you clearer results. It doesn't cost the tester that much time or money to simply run a web browser.

Furthermore, even if someone were to accept your claims and assertions, the matter is simply that the selection of browsers in the article covers all the actively developed rendering engines currently in use. No one would argue to include Seamonkey, Flock, or Galeon, even if they had a higher usage share than Opera, since Firefox already represents Gecko.

If anything, Safari or Chrome should be dropped, since they are both based on Webkit.
