When you make something idiot-proof, only idiots will want to use it.

As long as it doesn't break Noscript
Given Firefox's history of breaking plug-ins, why would you expect NoScript to continue to work?

First Microsoft releases an awful version of Windows (8.0), then Microsoft backtracks (temporarily?) and restores some useful functionality that was removed (emphasis on some).
The question remains, how long before Microsoft has another dose of stupid, and re-removes the Start button and boot to desktop. Strategically, it is what they want to do, so you know they will keep trying to do it.
it could be ANY Altair8080
Ummm... no.

An Altair 8080 is a different computer entirely.
Of course by this time our interest was piqued - with just a simple google search we discovered the girls website - while the content of the site was not porn the masthead showed her posing in bondage gear, and copy relating to her various preferences! She did get an interview but the cards were already on the table.
Why did you waste her time with an interview if the cards were already on the table?

From what you describe, I suspect if she did get the job, it would have been a hostile work environment for her, with too many busybodies poking around into her private life.

An exception would be if the applicant links to his professional online presence in the CV. Then I would use that as I would any other information on the CV. However the presence on the web does not make the information different than having the same information on the CV.
If I were hiring for a sensitive position where a background check is warranted, then I would do a real background check.
But if no background check is required, why go poking around in someone's private life.
Simple solution: do not use Target's website
Target has already made that decision for me --- they do not allow me to use their website.
unless users actually refuse to use Target's web site because they don't want to be tracked.
Target's website refuses entry for those customers who do not have tracking cookies enabled. It is Target's choice, not the customers'.
I'm sure Target has carefully evaluated the situation, and the result is the decisions they've made.
Yeah, preventing customers from walking through the main entrance and buy things is always a good thing for a store to do.

Target needs to re-evaluate their purpose for having a website - do they want to use the website to place cookies on peoples' disks? Or does target want to use the website to sell merchandise?
So do LEDs bother your eyes?
You need to do double-blind testing to see whether you are really bothered by the LED flicker, or you just think you are bothered by the flicker.
...has increasingly started to bug me: backlight flicker...
Perhaps it has increasingly started to bug you because you are becoming increasingly aware of it, and not vice versa.

It is a common marketing ploy to create a perceived problem, then magically have a product available for sale that just happens to assuage that newly perceived problem.

With the ever-increasing price of tickets, using revenue as a judge of "record-breaking" is grossly inaccurate, as it erroneously compares unequal ticket prices and ignores the effect of inflation over the years.
.
It would be more accurate (though still not completely accurate) to use the number of tickets sold as the basis for judging whether all-time records have been broken.

WHITElist = good
BLACKlist = bad
Instead of trying to put the label of political correctness on the attempts to rid software of racial bias, why not just rid software of racial bias?
It really would be a lot easier than to engage in an artificial political battle.

Male-dominant sexism, and the rejection of anything 'different,' seems to be actively encouraged in the gaming industry, the customers of which I suspect make up a large part of the
