Another source of data as well as triangulating based on towers, and calculating vector based on checkins would be timing advance.
I have no idea if that is logged, but if it is, that narrows your position down to half a kilometre.

Apple still hasn't really allowed any 3rd party browsers into the app store.
Any browsers in the app store right now must use the same underlying engine as the system browser.

The only "exception" is Opera which does a little pre-processing on their servers if you trust the browser as a MITM.

There has been a build of Firefox for iOS for a long time, but completely unofficial. It will never be on iOS if Apple has any say.

That's why the Firefox Home (Sync) for iOS is just an app that displays your tabs/bookmarks from your other computers and opens them in Safari.

Solar cells wear out you know...
And they are hardly energy neutral to create.

But I suspect we will need all of the above.

Hey. One thing that confused me for a bit, at least on my SO's machine, was when I was running Update Manager in her Unity 2D session.

I wanted to scroll through the text explaining what the update fixed, but there was no scrollbar.
It wasn't until I clicked in the text area (focus?) that the scrollbar appeared.

"fair warning", not "fare warning"
ugh. I hate it when my fingers type out a homophone. Is like there is a "bad spelling" part of the brain

My XFCE4 session still works fine in Ubuntu 12.04 - a bit better since the dragging multiple items bug is fixed.
The Mint Gnome Extensions repo was disabled, I haven't gotten around to reenabling that and retesting it since I mostly use XFCE4 anyway, but I did log into Gnome Shell and it still works fine too.

Ditto "Gnome Classic (no effects)" although obviously it isn't Gnome Classic - fare warning for anyone still on Gnome 2 who expects to be able to do simple things like arrange applets on your panel, move the clock somewhere less crowded, and, oh, have applets.

Oh. On my SO's system, the event calendar seems to work better in Unity than in Gnome Shell - in Unity the events area expands nicely. In Gnome Shell it is a crumpled up little unscrollable thing.

Minor annoying thing for me. Iagno now locks up every other game and is very sluggish. Only tested in Unity 2D on SO's machine.

Huh. Didn't know that.
What about Kettle since he is directly quoted?

So apparently the size of the bounty isn't everything.

'Both Kettle and Ruderman specifically mentioned Mozilla as an organization offering a bug-bounty program that is, in some ways, superior to Google's.

Among Mozilla's advantages, the organization has staging and sandbox servers for researchers to pound on without impacting users, provides a bug tracker that advises contributors as to the progress of fixes, does not require researchers to keep bugs secret, and offers a higher bounty for high-severity bugs, such as universal XSS bugs. Google's program may not make the Internet safer, Kettle observed, except by example. "Mozilla's certainly does, though: addons.mozilla.org is built on Django, and bugzilla.mozilla.org on Bugzilla," he said.'

Welp. Good to know for future reference. Perhaps I'll add one to my next NewEgg order if they sell them there, and see if that fixes the problem. Actually, I think I might have one lying around the office or home, seems vaguely familiar. Under an inch in length, wraps around a cable with plastic clasps to hold it in place? I'll look around.

Although spending $15 or $20 on a cable isn't that big a deal to me, and, hey, fixed the problem :)

I'll totally accept that BestBuy was overpricing cables. Maybe all their cables.
Maybe telling their employees to upsell useless stuff.

What I was objecting to was the part of the comment that stated that because a signal is "digital" that suddenly you don't have to worry about noise anymore.

It may well be that I am unfamiliar with the specifications of HDMI. It could even be that my tablet was complicit in my experience,
but it seems to me that resistance and shielding should still matter, and that not getting something *completely* crappy would be a good idea. Aaand, it might be some employees had run into enough problems w/ cheap cables that they might have suggested he get a less bad one.
