Better yet, make it opt-in only for the French. Their sites don't get indexed, unless they agree to non-chargeable access for indexing. Perhaps this can be accomplished by extending Sitemaps (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sitemaps)

Close, but no cigar. There is no server I need to log on to be officially 'at work.' Perhaps the right option would be "...by cracking my eyelids open." Whether it's to sunlight and chirping birds, or at 4am when the shit hits the fan, that's another story.

Submission + - Is America's military preparing for the last war and not the future? (thediplomat.com)

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Thursday June 21, 2012 @12:11PM

An anonymous reader writes: The US has been 'pivoting' and 're-balancing' to the Pacific region for sometime now. Militarily, America has developed an AirSea Battle concept to challenge China's military rise. This includes new drone-like long range bombers, cruise missiles, stealth subs etc. However, the concept may already be outdated at Cyber weapons can damage the command and control of any weapons system. America should instead develop a new AirSeaCyber concept to defeat enemies around the globe. If your enemies computers don't work because they are infected with malware and viruses, then you win the war without firing a shot.

Submitted by redkemper on Thursday June 21, 2012 @11:54AM

redkemper writes: This week we take a look at Apple’s brand new MacBook Pro with Retina display, arguably the best laptop ever made. It’s thinner, it’s lighter, and it’s borderline insane in many ways — a whopping 2880 x 1800-pixel display, no ethernet port, no optical drive, and it starts at $2,199. You won’t want to miss our walkthrough...

'Fedora's new Offline System Update feature will change the current system to something that is more Windows- and OS X-like: while many updates can still be made on the fly, certain package updates will require the system to be restarted so the patches can be applied in a special mode, according to the Fedora wiki page on the feature,' writes blogger Brian Proffitt."

Camels were quite good at flying in the rain too, and it was much better at dog fighting.

Swiss Bank Has 43-Page Dress Code 212

Posted by samzenpus on Monday December 20, 2010 @12:04PM from the dress-for-a-specific-success dept.

Tasha26 writes "The HR of Swiss bank UBS AG came up with an innovative 43-page document (French) to establish fashion 'dos' and 'don'ts' in their retail branches. Among the rules are such things as: 'neither sex should allow their underwear to appear,' perhaps Dilbert was a bit ahead of them on that. The document also mentions smells and 'avoid garlic and onion-based dishes.'"

Racy Danish Tabloid May Sue Apple For App Rejection 319

the_arrow writes "In Denmark the tabloid newspaper Ekstra Bladet usually have scantily clad ladies on page 9. When making an iPad application, Apple of course rejected it because of that. However, Ekstra Bladet is not happy with that, and many sites report that Ekstra Bladet is thinking about taking Apple to European court for 'unfair censorship and anti-competitive behaviour.'"

'Hulu For Magazines' Relies On Users' Data 41

Posted by Soulskill on Friday November 12, 2010 @07:06PM from the much-easier-to-ignore-one-object-than-a-rack-full-of-them dept.

Toe, The writes "In an interesting twist on the free/closed mobile platform debate, Apple's closed platform appears to be at least nominally on the free side when it comes to magazine distribution. Magazines have always relied on the demographics of their subscribers to sell ad space to companies who would want to reach that demographic. This apparently has been a sticking point between publishers and Apple, because the latter is unwilling to allow its tools to expose the vast wealth of data that can be tapped from a modern mobile device connected to a purchasing account. For that reason, the so-called 'Hulu for Magazines,' Next Issue Media, will only be available on Android. Still unanswered: do people even want digital magazines?"
