I can't for the life of me figure out how my photos in Photos are organized; the collections are randomly placed, and automatically uploaded pics from my Android phone clutter up everything (I've turned this off repeatedly and it keeps resurrecting itself). And when looking at an individual picture, I can't tell whether it's been shared or is part of a collection. And finding any single picture when you don't know which collection its in is nearly impossible without opening each individual collection, which isn't nearly as easy as in Picasa.

Plus Picasa's desktop photo organizer was nice.

I have a question about Android encryption: I've "encrypted" this morning, but I can't tell if it actually worked. Instead of an hour, it only took about 2 minutes. Is there a way to verify that the phone actually did anything?

It's easily disabled. There was a time when only techies read /.; now techies are the exception rather than the rule.

Sad times.

No, he's spouting facts. You're whining about "free speech" because you heard someone of FOX bitching about it earlier today.

The fact is, the USTR has no choice but to cancel trademark protection for a trademark that has been proven to have been disparaging at the time it was registered. This isn't a new law; just a (semi) new lawsuit.

Also, it can't possibly be infringing on free speech, because the team is perfectly free to retain the name. They just won't get a government-sanctioned monopoly on it. In that sense, this is a HUGE victory for free speech! We're all now free to call our team "Redskins" and sell any merchandise we want with that name on it.

A real conservative would be cheering; an uneducated parrot-er of bullshit talking points would be whining about free speech.

It's Al Jazeera, and it's infinitely better than any US-based news channel.

Another made-up plot that we've been "protected" from. And who protects us from the "protectors"? When the NSA threw away the Constitution, they became terrorists.

The key to effectively solving a complex, multifaceted problem is to attack it from all possible angles. 1 method does not negate the others; it compliments them.

I currently work in user experience testing, and never worked in tech until I was 32.

I love how today's Republicans pretend to worship Ronald Reagan, while calling any existing Reagan Republican a RINO.

Reagan raised taxes and the minimum wage when it was good for the economy, allowed fairly easy immigration for illegals already in the country, and happily met with the leaders of enemy states. Today, even talking about any of these things would have Fox News frothing at the mouth.

Obama is to the right of Reagan on a host of issues, and still we get whining from today's Republicans.

Feel free to protest all these freeloaders by ceasing to create anything ever again. That'll show 'em.

Your question implies a false equivalency -- one that's pushed by the telecoms in the U.S.

While it's true that the US has much few people per square mile, that's because most people live in cities. There's absolutely no reason that our major cities (at least) can't match the internet speeds of any other similarly sized place in the world.

New Yor City has 27,532 people per square mile. Vegas isn't even that dense and has nearly 4300 people per square mile.

Slow connection speeds in US cities have nothing at all to do with population density.

My first thought was: Do MRIs work on clams? This is like the genius who killed the oldest known tree in the world to see how old it was.

Funny how your first comment ("trafficking child porn") suddenly needs a bunch of caveats ("catching them in the act") in order to avoid "shooting" innocent people. It's almost like you're talking out your ass and haven't the brainpower to form a cogent argument.

Full stop.

And yet you can offer no evidence at all. He didn't say it "extinguishes a fire"; he implied that it allows a release that would exist otherwise without causing harm.

Check out the nearest meal replacement to this (Ensure) and compare costs, then realize why you're a dumbass.

Seriously, there've been a hundred articles about this just in the past month. Read one.
