Am I mistaken in thinking that Facebook's terms and conditions require you to be thirteen or older? And therefore, did the school not have a valid concern?

Behaviour on social networks is clearly relevant to a sexual harassment case, the only question is whether the provider should provide the information given that there would be security concerns about revealing a password to anyone, regardless of whether they are court appointed.

But only in Newcastle.

Right click near the top of the screen and put a check next to "Menu Bar". Problem solved.

Firefox is merely following Google's example with Chrome. For reference, Chrome is currently version 20 on my machine and still looks remarkably similar to version 1.

Given that my son's camera consistently detected the Mona Lisa blinking, I'm not surprised at all.

Probable cause? Odour, pupil dilation, behaviour. You can smell a dope user from a distance and you don't need to be a trained sniffer dog to do so, either.

...and that's not to mention the fact that they can't even spell profitability.

...and if you'd read my comment you'd have seen that I acknowledged this and differentiated what Apple did with the iPhone in aiming for mass market with what Nokia did with the N900 in aiming for or marketing to a niche.

The difficulty with the N900 was that they introduced one phone. As an N900 user (still) I know that the N900 is not for everyone, and was targeted more at the tech-savvy user than your bog standard just-want-a-phone-that-works user. Not everyone wants a built in keyboard or a phone that large. In fact, one of the reasons I haven't changed phone is that it is so difficult to get a decent phone with a slide-out keyboard, similar the the N900. Suggestions welcomed...

Nokia needed to produce several phones around a similar theme aimed at different users, or do what Apple did and produce one phone to a very high standard aimed at the average user, not at a niche market (80/20 rule). Doing what they did was narrow minded and poor business sense.

Nokia's support for developers was, frankly, not an enjoyable experience. This is where being part of the Windows universe will be an advantage to Nokia as that will be Microsoft's responsibility, not their own.

...and in the darkness bind them?

They might not be explosive, but magnetic tapes burn at an extremely high temperature, circa 1000 degrees C. If you have a fire in your server room and there are tapes in there, even ones that are in protective containers, the fire brigade will not let you in for several days as it takes that long for the burnt remains of a tape to cool down to a safe temperature.

Having tapes in your server room is likely to delay your disaster recovery substantially. Tapes remain the cheapest solution, but the idea that they are the appropriate solution for mission critical data is a flawed one.

From the first linked article:

At first glance these two paragraphs do appear to be contradicting each other - but it isn't clear which of these paragraphs is an EU press release and which is the journalist's interpretation. The article (and as a result the slashdot summary) may be misinterpreting the press release.

"maximum" may be a misprint here, or, the EU may, as usual, be trying to obfuscate the intent of their legislation.

Irradiating sperm should count, right?

It depends whether they have already managed to procreate, doesn't it?

Selenium is not available in anything like the required quantities for a start.
Selenium is neither cheap nor easy nor green nor particularly safe to mine. Almost all solar electric devices currently use Selenium.
Calling Solar energy green whilst we need to use Selenium in solar cells involves imitating an ostrich. Hopefully the next generation of Solar cells will not require Selenium.

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so.
