Comment Why approximate numbers? (Score 3, Insightful) 309

They give the distance and number of positions for the cube here: http://www.cube20.org/ What I don't understand is why they have only approximate number 20 moves - from the article on the link above I understand that they solved all of the 20-moves combinations so they must know the exact number of those combinations

Submission + - HP CEO Mark Hurd fired for misconduct (cnn.com)

Anon E. Muss writes: In a move that nobody saw coming, Hewlett-Packard CEO Mark Hurd "resigned" today. A contractor had accused him of sexual harassment, and the board brought in outside counsel to investigate. While the harassment claim could not be substantiated, the investigation did uncover other misconduct. Hurd's "close personal relationship" with the contractor created a conflict of interest, and he was also found to have misused company assets.

Submission + - Like Google, Mozilla To Silently Update Firefox 4 (computerworld.com)

CWmike writes: Taking a page from rival Google's playbook, Mozilla plans to introduce silent, behind-the-scenes security updating to Firefox 4. The feature, which has gotten little attention from Mozilla, is currently 'on track' for Firefox 4, slated to ship before the end of the year. Firefox 4's silent update will only be offered on Windows, Mozilla has said. Most updates will be downloaded and installed automatically without asking the user or requiring a confirmation. 'We'll only be using the major update dialog box for changes like [version] 4 to 4.5 or 5," said Alex Faaborg, a principal designer on Firefox, in the 'mozilla.dev.apps.firefox' forum. 'Unfortunately users will still see the updating progress bar on load, but this is an implementation issue as opposed to a [user interface] one; ideally the update could be applied in the background.' Unlike Google, Mozilla will let users change the default silent service to the more traditional mode, where the browser asks permission before downloading and installing any update.

Comment Just use your phone (Score 1) 467

The phones now allow to keep a lot of data and keep records and all those things can't be viewed by the company unless you have a company phone. This way no one from work would even try to look into what was there. Your phone internet connection would be separate from work as well, so they can't monitor and disable websites. At my work almost all email / chat / data exchange sites are locked out anyway, so that would be the only option.
