you get it checked out, and it passes all of the safety regulations in your given area.
that there is what the insurance companies would go after. Whoever checked out the seatbelt clearly did not do it right and they are responsible.
Middle click in window: paste clipboard buffer to URL bar and go
Interesting, I don't have this one.. obviously, I have the standard middle click to paste previously selected text, but that only works in an input form, not whenever I middle click on a page. But yes, I use it to open and close tabs. Webkit opens tabs on middle click but also triggers the javascript onclick event.
One place where this really bugs me is on slashdot. If I middle click on a post title to open it in its own tab, it doesnt open in a new tab but just expands/contracts like if I left clicked it because I guess the javascript event is returning false, which blocks the tab opening... forcing me to right click and "open in new tab"
I am very impressed by the statement from BT:
A BT Spokesperson told ISPreview in September:
"BT and other ISPs agreed to send 1,000 notifications alleging copyright infringement a week for a 12-week trial period, with BT picking up the bill for this activity for our own customers as an act of goodwill. However, it was understood that at the end of this period, we would need to take stock and have further discussions with the rights holders about costs etc.
During this period, the BPI sent us around 21,000 alleged cases, but less than two-thirds proved to be properly matched to an IP address of a BT customer and not a duplicate, so this could indicate that the true extent of this activity is much lower than the 100,000 number the BPI claim since February. In addition since none of the customers we wrote to during the trial were subsequently taken to court by the BPI, we don't know whether they were actually guilty of infringement."
I never knew BT could actually sound reasonable. What a shame governments are still left trailing behind on common sense and decency.
Apple could be a very serious threat to Microsoft if they changed their attitude towards businesses.
exactly. which is why it makes no sense for microsoft to be behind psystar, who are pushing for apple to take that new attitude
Once they realize how many people are afraid in airports, they will quickly scrap this stupid idea.
No, it doesn't work like that. More false positives and inconvenience are never a problem for these people. That just means they can apply for more stolen^H^H^H^H^H^H^H government money to deal with the extra people.
NASA never had a *monster* budget, they found ways to do a lot with a little, and cut a lot of corners in the process.
You mean like faking the moon landings entirely?
People have been creating "governments" for longer than they have been participating in markets.
Excuse me? You think hunter-gatherers didn't trade food and supplies between each other? or between different hunter-gatherer societies? That is a market.
If you think the system is working, ask someone who's waiting for a prompt.
